My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread  Author, Nancy Gavilanes -  AT THIS LINK  - tells of a TV meteorologist in Mississippi who recognized, while on live TV, that there was impending danger from possible tornadoes in the area.    And while on TV, almost reflexively, prayed and said, . “Dear Jesus, please help them. Amen.”  The prayer from the TV weather reporter went viral online and was credited in saving many lives.  

Well, if my readers have taken in the linked song from Matthew West and have meditated on the Scriptures shared above, I’m praying - yes, right now - that all of us take to heart God’s call for us to be in constant and thankful prayer for one another, … knowing that God hears our prayers.  Are you with me, today!   Let’s pray !!!                      

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for Your promises, in Your word, that You hear our prayers, Lord.               

My Prayer Today:  Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I’m praying that those who read with me here will join me to pray and pray, and keep on praying, for Your grace, dear Lord..     …  Amen
