Devotional Song: ... GO TO THIS LINK ... Please take the time to take in song and lyrics from Don Moen singing … Our Father … poignantly singing of how we, should come to “Our Father” everyday with an attitude that our Abba Father is always there with His love/grace for His children.

My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, John Blasé… AT THIS LINK … relate a story of starting each day by praying the so-called “Lord’s Prayer” (see highlight passage); and one morning as He began by saying, “Our Father,” his cell phone rang and looking at the screen, it said, “DAD” … but when he picked up the phone no one was on the line. And the ODB author, knew it was a mistaken call, but also felt like it was no coincidence either, … feeling like it was God, the Father, recognizing that He was there to hear the author’s prayer … that morning … and ALWAYS.
That call was no coincidence, was it? If we believe, as the Scriptures above tell us, that our Heavenly Father is always there to hear our prayers, … our pleas for mercy, … our concerns, …big or small, … then why aren’t we coming to Him, as “Our Father,” more often? Personally, that’s convicting to me! How about you?
My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for ALWAYS being there to hear my prayers.
My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to take our concerns to You, Lord, today … and always! Amen
