A Prayer for Today

Here's what I pray for -- and ask you to pray for as well -- today:

Psalm 72:4 (ESV) --

"May he defend the cause of the poor of the people,
give deliverance to the children of the needy,
and crush the oppressor!"

Thank You, Father, for Jesus. Amen.

My Prayer for You

This is my prayer for you today -- and every day:

"I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the wonderful future he has promised to those he called."
(Ephesians 1:18)

Jesus May Not Be Santa Claus, But...

I've heard it said that "Jesus is not Santa Claus." Meaning He is not there simply to give us stuff. While I know that's true, still, there are these verses to contemplate:


Psalm 5:3 says:

"In the morning, O Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation."

There's also James 4:2, which says you do not have because you do not ask.


Thank You, Lord, for your love and your guidance -- and for all your blessings.
