Reference Passage: … Psalm 116:1-2 [ESV] … 

1 I love the Lord, because He has heard my voice and my pleas for mercy   2  Because He inclined His ear to me, therefore I will call on Him as long as I live.

My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Dave Branon AT THIS LINK …  tells of the humble prayer of a five year old during family prayers, illustrating how God calls us all out to pray for one another.  

I’m convicted by this ODB entry today.  I truly believe that God hears our prayers; … and, as Jesus, and others in Scripture (above) have declared, … our Lord moves for us when we abide in Him and pray for others.  But I don’t do it diligently enough. How about you?  

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh Abba Father, ... thank You, Lord, … for hearing our prayers.

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to humbly go to our Lord today, praying for others.    … Amen
