It’s Friday, so please remember to pray for Mumsee, Mike, and the Nestlings.
Anyone else?
Psalm 34
1 I will extol the Lord at all times;
his praise will always be on my lips.
2 I will glory in the Lord;
let the afflicted hear and rejoice.
3 Glorify the Lord with me;
let us exalt his name together.
4 I sought the Lord, and he answered me;
he delivered me from all my fears.
5 Those who look to him are radiant;
their faces are never covered with shame.
6 This poor man called, and the Lord heard him;
he saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him,
and he delivers them.
8 Taste and see that the Lord is good;
blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.
9 Fear the Lord, you his holy people,
for those who fear him lack nothing.
10 The lions may grow weak and hungry,
but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.
11 Come, my children, listen to me;
I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
12 Whoever of you loves life
and desires to see many good days,
13 keep your tongue from evil
and your lips from telling lies.
14 Turn from evil and do good;
seek peace and pursue it.
15 The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and his ears are attentive to their cry;
16 but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil,
to blot out their name from the earth.
17 The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them;
he delivers them from all their troubles.
18 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
19 The righteous person may have many troubles,
but the Lord delivers him from them all;
20 he protects all his bones,
not one of them will be broken.
21 Evil will slay the wicked;
the foes of the righteous will be condemned.
22 The Lord will rescue his servants;
no one who takes refuge in him will be condemned.
I got an email from my mechanic. It is not looking good.
Please pray for the mechanic. He works so hard and I know he feels bad that his repairs to my car are not working. God is good.

Heavenly Father,
I lift up the situation of Jo’s vehicle to You. Every detail about it is known to You. I ask that You give supernatural guidance and wisdom to her mechanic so he is able to finish the repair and make her vehicle safe and sturdy for her unique road conditions. Thank You that You hear our prayers and we know You are doing what is best according to Your will and purposes. I pray in Jesus’ name, Amen

Oops, I forgot I am nobody.
Well, we know God can miraculously fix the car and He can give the mechanic wisdom and tools and parts to fix the car, but it is possible that He wants you in the large van for now. Perhaps another trip to the ice cream parlor, or safety, or whatever. I will pray for God’s purposes and your peace in Him.

From the Psalm for the day:
The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them;
he delivers them from all their troubles.
18 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit

Mumsee – Your comment about being nobody reminded me of this Emily Dickinson poem:
“I’m Nobody! Who are you?
Are you – Nobody – too?
Then there’s a pair of us!
Don’t tell! they’d advertise – you know!
How dreary – to be – Somebody!
How public – like a Frog –
To tell one’s name – the livelong June –
To an admiring Bog!”
