   My prayers are always with you. The verses below truly impacted me this mornig while reading my devotion. I thought might like to read them

   Lisa

   The Lord is righteous in everything he does; he is filled with kindness. The Lord is close to all who call on him, yes, to all who call on him sincerely. He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cries for help and rescues them.

   Psalm 145:17-19 NLT

   Then Saul said, “Let’s chase the Philistines all night and destroy every last one of them.” His men replied, “We’ll do whatever you think is best.” But the priest said, “Let’s ask God first.”
   1 Samuel 14:36 NLT

   The next morning Jesus awoke long before daybreak and went out alone into the wilderness to pray.
   Mark 1:35 NLT

   Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and heal their land.
   2 Chronicles 7:14 NLT

   About this week’s promise
   The most universally practiced yet least understood of human experiences, prayer is one of the great mysteries of the Christian faith. Its simplest definition is communication with God. Yet so often we approach prayer like a one-way telephone conversation, forgetting that God also wants to speak to us. Prayer appears nearly on every page of the Bible as the very essence of a faith relationship with the living God.
