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 – Genesis 46:1-4

Genesis 46:1-4 So Israel set out with all that was his, and when he reached Beersheba, he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.

And God spoke to Israel in a vision at night and said, “Jacob! Jacob!”

“Here I am,” he replied.

“I am God, the God of your father,” he said. “Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will make you into a great nation there. I will go down to Egypt with you, and I will surely bring you back again. And Joseph’s own hand will close your eyes.”

Daily D – Genesis 45:4-8

Genesis 45:4-8 Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Come close to me.” When they had done so, he said, “I am your brother Joseph, the one you sold into Egypt! And now, do not be distressed and do not be angry with yourselves for selling me here, because it was to save lives that God sent me ahead of you. For two years now there has been famine in the land, and for the next five years there will be no plowing and reaping. But God sent me ahead of you to preserve for you a remnant on earth and to save your lives by a great deliverance.

“So then, it was not you who sent me here, but God. He made me father to Pharaoh, Lord of his entire household and ruler of all Egypt.”

Daily D – Genesis 41:1

Genesis 41:1 “When two full years had passed, Pharaoh had a dream: He was standing by the Nile,”

Daily D – Genesis 39:2-6

Genesis 39:2-6 Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. Potiphar, an Egyptian who was one of Pharaoh’s officials, the captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there. The Lord was with Joseph so that he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. When his master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord gave him success in everything he did, Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned. From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the Lord blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph. The blessing of the Lord was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field. So Potiphar left everything he had in Joseph’s care; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate.

Daily D – Genesis 35:27-29

Genesis 35:27-29 Jacob came home to his father Isaac in Mamre, near Kiriath Arba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had stayed. Isaac lived a hundred and eighty years. Then he breathed his last and died and was gathered to his people, old and full of years. And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
