I #pray 2da frm Joel 3.7: Rouse us 2 do Ur will, dear #Christ! In the #Bible here, #God will rouse the exiled 2 return home. Wht's r sleepy state tht makes ths my #prayer 2da? Wht aspect of #Jesus' will does He call u 2 2da? Is it difficult 4 u 2 respond like the cat here or r u ready 2 go? #PCUSA

I #pray 2da frm #Psalm 139.24: Lead us in ur way, dear #Christ! Is #Jesus' way & "the way everlasting" in the #Bible here the same thing, as I assume? & ths's the 7th time ths year I have made "Lead" my daily #prayer. I'd say ths reflects how #divine #guidance is a basic human desire. Agree? #PCUSA

I #pray 2da frm Hosea 11.8: May Ur #compassion 4 us grow tender, dear #Christ! However much I dwell on divine #love, the #Bible attests often 2 #God 's wrath, making ths my #prayer, along wth the awful deeds being done in r #American name rite now. How'll we know of #Jesus' softening 2da? #PCUSA

I #pray 2da frm #Psalm 138.3: Increase r strength of #soul, dear #Christ! On ths 1st serious snowstorm here in a long time, ths saying caught me. Do the seasons have souls? Wht's r soul tht makes ths r #prayer 2da? Do u feel #Jesus strengthening ur soul 2da? Wht becomes possible 4 u then? #PCUSA

I #pray 2da frm Hosea 6.11: Restore r fortunes, dear #Christ! The fortunes spoken of in the #Bible here r not monetary. Wht's meant here in ur understanding? Do u agree tht confidence undergirds all good fortune? How does #Jesus say 2 u "U can do it" today? It tht the answer 2 ur #prayer? #PCUSA

I #pray 2da frm Jude vs. 20: Build up r #faith, dear #Christ! Ths #wisdom frm Elton Trueblood, a 20th century Quaker, rings true 4 me. 4 faith as #trust, not #belief, is my #prayer 2da. I'm wth r grand kiddos ths holiday weekend. I'll watch among them 4 #Jesus' response 2 my desire 4 trust. #PCUSA

I #pray 2da frm #Psalm 136.1: Ur #love 4 us stands fast, dear #Christ! Ths declaration of #faith is the backbone of ths psalm in the #Bible & of r lives in Christ. As ths saying suggests, #Jesus ' love 4 us is the source of all r energy & focus, directing us in all we do. Right? #PCUSA #church #God

I #pray 2da frm 2 John vs. 3: B wth is in #truth & #love, dear #Christ! A great yearning tht Vaclav Havel's assertion here is #true propels my #prayer 2da. How does #Jesus answer us 2da or do we dwell in #faith tht these will prevail even as lies & hatred swirl among us? #PCUSA

I #pray 2da frm Dan. 5.14: Find #wisdom in us, dear #Christ! We have power over #Jesus finding wisdom in us, over ths #prayer being answered. Do u gain wisdom in the way Schultz suggested or other ways? R u like the wise old bird? Wht does being wise make possible 4 u? Do u have wisdom 4 us? #PCUSA

I #pray 2da frm 1 John 4.18: Cast out r fear, dear #Christ! The #Bible tells us perfect #love casts out #fear. #Jesus ' perfect love assures me He'll answer my #prayer 2da. Wht do I fear rite now? The #MAGA inflicted moral damage 2 us all 4 1 thing. Wht healing's possible when fear's gone? #PCUSA
