Today’s Verse:

Moses says to Israel people as
Long life being a very desirable blessing, and which is promised to those that obey and keep the law; (Deuteronomy 30:19-20 and Psalms 91:16 )
which are dear to parents, and the continuance of whose lives, next to their own, is most desirable, yes, as desirable as their own; and especially it is desirable that they might have a posterity descending from them, to enjoy for ever their estates and possessions; as it was to the people of Israel, that they might have a seed always to dwell the land of Canaan, so often spoken of as the promise, oath, and gift of God: it is possible as long as the heavens and the earth shall be, and the one shall be over the other, as they will be to the end of time, in other words, forever.


Prayer:

      Heavenly Father, thanks for keeping me in good health and spirit so far and thanks for the blessed day you have given to me. I come to you today and thank you for the privilege of praying for others.
I've been the recipient of others' prayers so often. I ask you first to cleanse my heart and show me if there is any unconfessed sin in my own life so that my prayers for others will not be hindered.
I thank you that through your name, I can come boldly before you and pray with confidence, according to your will and know that you hear me. I lift up those in my neighborhood, in my city, and in my church.
 Begin with those who follow you, and help them influence others for good. Raise up leaders who will serve you faithfully at all costs. Turn the hearts of fathers toward their children, and families toward you.
Help them to exemplify your values, and make them bold in their faith. Strengthen my own family, and those closest to me, Lord. May our love for you help us to love and forgive others and make a difference in our world. In the name of Jesus, Amen.
