Read: Psalm 4
Pray: For leaders of your city (mayor, courts, police, fire)
___________________________________________________
When I pray, I just know God is going to answer. I’ve been sure of this since I was six years old.
It was a dark night in southern West Virginia, early winter with a big storm moving in. I went to bed with the wind howling and rain coming down in sheets. It began as a thunderstorm, with sudden bolts of lightning and loud claps of thunder. I was terrified…so I prayed. I asked the Lord to stop the storm, at least long enough for me to fall asleep. Almost at once, everything was stone silent! I slept the night away as peacefully as you please.
The next morning I looked out the window and was amazed. Rain had turned to snow and there was a foot of it on the ground, with trees down and power lines strewn here and there. It had stormed all night, but it had stopped for a short while—in answer to my prayer—so that my little heart might be calmed.
For a lifetime, that early experience has emboldened me. Whenever I am overwhelmed, I go to Him in prayer. He has never disappointed me, and I know He never will!
Dear Jesus, I am asking in your Name and you have promised to supply. Strengthen my faltering faith with your rich and confident love. Amen…and thank you, Lord!
