As children of God, we can give glory and praise to our God through our words, actions, and lifestyle. Remembering that God delivers all good things should be the reason for your gratitude in prayer. Keeping God at the focus of your received blessings and accomplishments proves that you show honor to Him. As you participate in our “Prayer Wall”, consider the following scriptures:
Philippians 4:6
6 Be afflicted for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
Matthew 6:5-8
5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites; for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men; for, verily, I say unto you, They have their reward. 6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut the door, pray to thy Father who is in secret; and thy Father who seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. 7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the hypocrites do; for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. 8 Therefore be ye not like unto them; for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
An hour ago a neighbor one block north of us, Gary Barr, was killed in front of his house. Gary & Nancy (his wife) have a large touring type motocycle. Nancy his wife was a passenger on the motocycle. The couple were pulling up to their driveway at the end of a trip. A speeding Chevy Suburban SUV crossed the center line & hit them head on. Gary was driving & Nancy was the passenger. He was killed & she was injured. The Barr's were wonderful people and good friends. Prayers are requested for Nancy's recovery and a comforting Spirit for the family.
