What to pray for Ukraine – Wisdom

There was a little city with few men in it, and a great king came against it and besieged it, building great siegeworks against it. But there was found in it a poor, wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city (Ecclesiastes 9:14-15).

Wisdom is better than might.

A Birthday Prayer

Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be.
Remind me that my days are numbered—how fleeting my life is.
You have made my life no longer than the width of my hand.
My entire lifetime is just a moment to you;
At best, each of us is but a breath (Psalm 39:4-5).

Faithful Love

The Lord is for me; he will help me. His faithful love endures forever (Psalm 118:7,1).

We can trust God’s faithful love and pray, “You have done what you promised, for you are always true to your word (Nehemiah 9:8).”

How I Found Life Verses to Pray for our New Grandson

I pray life verses over each of our grandchildren. Our newest grandson was born on 11/10, so I looked up every chapter 11, verse 10 in the Bible.

Here are the verses I chose: For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened (Luke 11:10). So refuse to worry (Ecclesiates 11:10).

May our grandson be a man of prayer.

We Don’t Have to Know What to Pray

The Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words, according to the will of God (from Romans 8:26-27)

Our Heavenly Father listens to the Spirit’s prayers. For those who love God all things work together for good (Romans 8:28).

A Grandmother’s Joy

Mine.

God has given me ten grandchildren;
six granddaughters and four grandsons
I love them so.

Each one a priceless treasure
A blessing, a gift
I am grateful.

My greatest hope
And constant prayer

Is for all my grandchildren
To know unending, steadfast, perfect love.

God’s.

We are eagerly awaiting the birth of our eleventh grandchild sometime this fall.

God Keeps His Promises

Not a single one of all the good promises the Lord had given to the family of Israel was left unfulfilled; everything he had spoken came true (Joshua 21:45).

God’s Word is full of his promises. Knowing them shows you how to pray.
