Verse Of The Week for April 27 - May 3

“Pray without ceasing.”

- 1 Thessalonians 5:17

This Thursday is set aside as the National Day of Prayer. We, as believers in Christ, have been blessed with the opportunity to pray. We are told in the book of Hebrews to “Come boldly to the throne of grace.” What a privilege it is to pray. What a blessing it is to pray. Jesus disciples asked for Him to teach them to pray. Prayer is one of the tools that we as believers have that is an aid in our daily walk with the Lord. This week as we focus on the needs that are all around us, may we know that the Lord hears and answers prayers. Sometimes it seems that the needs are overwhelming. We think about our families and the great need there. We think about our communities, our nation, our churches, the leaders of our nation, our world and all the needs. Nothing is too difficult for God. Give it to Him. He tells us in His Word, to cast all our care upon Him for He cares for us.

Dear Lord, please help us to fully surrender everything unto you. Help us to realize that you and you alone are the answer to our hearts desire. Bless your name for your faithfulness unto each one of us! Amen.
