Todays Prayer Dear God, I just want to thank You for helping me make it through another day. Thank You for guiding my way, for keeping me safe, and for blessing me. Lord, please give me strength for yet another day of life. Help me to walk in the paths of righteousness for Your names sake. I want to lift up my friends who are suffering with cancer and illness and for those who are grieving the loss of a loved one. Reach into their lives and provide a peace and comfort that only You can give. Fill that hurt and emptiness they feel with Your presence. Be their help in their times of trouble. In Jesus name I pray, amen. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Do You Need a Breakthrough? TGIF Today God Is First Volume 2, by Os Hillman 11-06-2013 ...while I was still in prayer, Gabriel, the man I had seen in the earlier vision, came to me in swift flight about the time of the evening sacrifice. He instructed me and said to me, Daniel, I have now come to give you insight and understanding (Dan 9:21-22). There are times in our lives when we simply need a breakthrough from God. Maybe you need a new job or a breakthrough in your finances, direction on a big business deal, or maybe physical healing from an illness. Sometimes we need to hear from God directly for situations in our lives. Daniel was seeking God to understand why the nation had been in captivity for 70 years. He began to fast and pray. At the end of this time an angel of the Lord appeared to him. It is clear the angel came to Daniel because of his fasting and prayer and his seeking God for answers. The prophet Jeremiah says, You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart (Jer 29:13). The problem with most of us is we are unwilling to seek God for the answers. Seeking God requires an intentional focus that may require prayer and fasting. Bill Bright, the founder of Campus Crusade for Christ said, I believe the power of fasting as it relates to prayer is the spiritual atomic bomb that our Lord has given us to destroy the strongholds of evil and usher in a great revival and spiritual harvest around the world. The longer I fasted, the more I sensed the presence of the Lord. The Holy Spirit refreshed my soul and spirit, and I experienced the joy of the Lord as seldom before. Biblical truths leaped at me from the pages of Gods Word. My faith soared as I humbled myself and cried out to God and rejoiced in His presence.* Do you need a breakthrough? Consider committing to a time of fasting and prayer. *billbright/7steps/ Today God Is First (TGIF) devotional message, Copyright by Os Hillman, Marketplace Leaders.
