Cube.

 

This is one side of a wooden cube that my mother in law gave me for Christmas a few years ago. When I first saw it, I didn't know what to make of it. What would I use it for? I left it home for a little while, then one day I said to myself, "I'll take it to work." So I did. The first day I brought it in, I knew that I had made the right decision. It was a conversation starter. People would come into my office and inquire about it. I told them about how my mother in law gave it to me for Christmas. It has little Christian sayings on all six sides. Every day I come into work, I move it to the next side. So I have a different saying every six days.

The saying that comes up on Friday's, I use all weekend long. This past Friday was the above saying, "What Should We Pray For Today?" Oh man, let me tell you!

Since this is Fathers Day, I pray that God will raise up all the fathers to be what they are called to be and do. Lead their families. Love their children. Instruct their children and discipline their children. If we don't do our jobs at home, somebody else will. We can't play that game with our kids. It is our job to raise them and take care of them.

Proverbs 22:6 Amplified Bible

6 Train up a child in the way he should go [teaching him to seek God’s wisdom and will for his abilities and talents], Even when he is old he will not depart from it.

I pray for my family, friends and co-workers today. Well everyday. I have a few that are battling pancreatic cancer. Breast cancer. Brain cancer, liver cancer, as well as a host of other illnesses. I pray today that God will heal them totally and completely. Make their bodies whole. Remove what should not be in there. Strengthen them and encourage them as they go through this. Give them comfort and peace, that You are in control.

Matthew 11:28 Living Bible

28 Come to me and I will give you rest—all of you who work so hard beneath a heavy yoke. Wear my yoke—for it fits perfectly—and let me teach you; for I am gentle and humble, and you shall find rest for your souls; for I give you only light burdens.”

That statement on that cube "What Should We Pray For Today." I pray not only today, but everyday for those afflicted by illness and disease. Pray for families. That moms and dads would stay together. I pray for those who have suffered a physical loss. Loss of a loved one. Loss of a house because of fire, or natural disaster. A car because of an accident, or it's just to old to carry on. Pray for jobs for those who are unemployed or are under employed. Just PRAY!

Colossians 4:2 Living Bible

2 Don’t be weary in prayer; keep at it; watch for God’s answers, and remember to be thankful when they come.

Like that verse says. Don't become weary during prayer. Continue to seek God and His answers for us. Thank Him and give Him praise when prayer is answered.

God Bless!
