Do You Pray Confidently?
July 9, 2019
BIBLE MEDITATION:
To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgiveness, though we have rebelled against Him. Daniel 9:9
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
The closer we get to God, the more we realize how insignificant and how sinful we are. This is not a time for finger-pointing in our nation. This is a time for repentance of personal sin. I’m talking about repentance among God’s people.
Daniel is talking about God’s greatness, power, righteousness, and mercy. That is the basis for our prayer. Isn’t it wonderful that “to God belong mercies and forgiveness”? It is impossible to see who our great God is in a time of crisis and not want to pray. We can pray with confidence for this very reason.
It is prayer time in America. It is time for all people who know our God, whomever they may be, to seek the face of God in prayer. I believe that with all my heart. We need to set ourselves in prayer.
ACTION POINT:
We need to pray, “God, cleanse us, restore us, revive us, renew us, refresh us. We need revival in America. Remove our guilt.”

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
