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 119:1-8

Psalm 119:1-8

“Joyful are people of integrity,
who follow the instructions of the Lord.
Joyful are those who obey his laws
and search for him with all their hearts.
They do not compromise with evil,
and they walk only in his paths.
You have charged us to keep your commandments carefully.
Oh, that my actions would consistently
reflect your decrees!
Then I will not be ashamed
when I compare my life with your commands.
As I learn your righteous regulations,
I will thank you by living as I should!
I will obey your decrees.
Please don’t give up on me!”

Daily D – 2 Kings 20:16-19

2 Kings 20:16-19 Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Listen to this message from the Lord: The time is coming when everything in your palace—all the treasures stored up by your ancestors until now—will be carried off to Babylon. Nothing will be left, says the Lord. Some of your very own sons will be taken away into exile. They will become eunuchs who will serve in the palace of Babylon’s king.”

Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “This message you have given me from the Lord is good.” For the king was thinking, “At least there will be peace and security during my lifetime.”

Daily D – John 16:33

John 16:33 “I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”

Daily D – John 16:19-22

John 16:19-22 Jesus realized they wanted to ask him about it, so he said, “Are you asking yourselves what I meant? I said in a little while you won’t see me, but a little while after that you will see me again. I tell you the truth, you will weep and mourn over what is going to happen to me, but the world will rejoice. You will grieve, but your grief will suddenly turn to wonderful joy. It will be like a woman suffering the pains of labor. When her child is born, her anguish gives way to joy because she has brought a new baby into the world. So you have sorrow now, but I will see you again; then you will rejoice, and no one can rob you of that joy.”

Daily D – John 15:12-13

John 15:12, 13 “This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you. There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”
