Pastor Bob's Midweek Devotion: May 20

Good Morning Church!

I've got my cup of coffee, got my Bible in my hands, and after a conversation with our Lord, I've got a beautiful truth to share with you that the Lord showed me in Daniel chapter 2.

Are you feeling stressed this morning?

A bit depressed?

Even after reading His word and talking to Him, we sometimes still feel down and out.

How about doing what Daniel did?

Check it out....

Daniel had just been told that all the wise men in Babylon would be murdered because they could not interpret the king's dream. Instead of being a "Lone Ranger" prayer warrior, Daniel
"went to his house and informed his friends, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah, about the matter, so that they might request compassion from the God of heaven concerning this mystery, so that Daniel and his friends would not be destroyed with the rest of the wise men of Babylon." Daniel 2: 17-18

Call a friend today and ask them to pray for you. Or call a friend and ask them how you can pray for them.

Why be stressed when He wants to bless us?

Jesus said,
"Ask, and it will be given; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you." (Matthew 7:7)

As you read that verse, put your name in it. And then consider getting together with one of your brothers or sisters in Christ to ask, seek & knock together.

  1. Wow, how that hits home. My house is full of stress, but instead of asking to pray with those in my home, I try to figure out what I need to do to reduce the stress instead of leaving it up to the Lord to work it out for me and/or through me. Thanks Bob, I will definately be knocking on the Lords door!!!
