Daily D – Psalm 6:9

Psalm 6:9 The Lord has heard my plea for help; the Lord accepts my prayer. (CSB)

—

I preached in the place of a pastor friend yesterday while he was enjoying time away with his family. The message was about praying for prodigals. After the service, a man told me a story about being one of those prodigals who had found his way home. Another man told me about his son, who had lived a prodigal lifestyle but also made his way home.

These were encouraging stories. Reading this verse from this psalm this morning, I cannot help but think this is what those men and their families experienced.

What prayers has God answered for you?
What prayers has God answered for you recently?
What prayers are you taking to God today?

I began cultivating a prayer list many years ago. It is arranged by the days of the week and levels of relationships. It includes virtues I want God to increase in my life and in the lives of those I love. This has helped me experience focus and clarity in prayer.

These prayers have been fruitful and effective. Inviting God to have his will and way in our lives is a prayer he loves to answer in the affirmative. He also hears and answers our prayers for others when we seek these benefits for them.

Whatever and whoever you are praying for, keep good records—record when you begin praying and when God says Yes. Write Psalm 6:9 next to that good news.

I love the way The Message paraphrases this verse:

My requests have all been granted,
my prayers are answered.

—

I will thank God today for answered prayer.

—

Our Father, thank you for hearing and answering our prayers. This encourages us to bring more prayers to you. We seek your highest and best for those we love, those we serve, and those we serve alongside. We want what you want for those who wander without your guidance. We eagerly desire true transformation that builds grace-filled lives, homes, and communities. We come to you confidently today because you hear and accept our prayers. Amen.

Daily D – Psalm 113:3

Psalm 113:3 From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets,
the name of the LORD is to be praised.

Daily D – Psalm 112:4-5

Psalm 112:4, 5
Even in darkness light dawns for the upright,
for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous.
Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely,
who conduct their affairs with justice.

Daily D – Isaiah 6:1-7

Isaiah 6:1-7 “In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying.

And they were calling to one another:

“Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty;
the whole earth is full of his glory.”

At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke.

“Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty.”

Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.”

Daily D – Isaiah 1:18

Isaiah 1:18
“Come now, let us settle the matter,”
says the LORD.
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red as crimson,
they shall be like wool.”

Daily D – 2 Kings 25:27-30

2 Kings 25:27-30 In the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the year Awel-Marduk became king of Babylon, he released Jehoiachin king of Judah from prison. He did this on the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth month. He spoke kindly to him and gave him a seat of honor higher than those of the other kings who were with him in Babylon. So Jehoiachin put aside his prison clothes and for the rest of his life ate regularly at the king’s table. Day by day the king gave Jehoiachin a regular allowance as long as he lived.
