And the peace of >God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your >minds in Christ Jesus. >--Philippians 4:6-7 >New International Version > >THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE... >God wants to hear our prayers, but to keep them from becoming too >self-focused, God wants us always to remember to give thanks. It is so >easy for us to turn prayer into a request line. We are the ones who are >left bereft when thanksgiving and praise are robbed from our prayers. > >MY PRAYER... >Gracious God, I have so many reasons to praise you. In the face of trial >and hardship I have your promises to reawaken my hope. In the moment of >victory I have you to thank for my abilities. In the boredom of the >routine, I have great joys in your surprises. Thank you, God, for being so >great and yet so loving. In Jesus name. Amen. > >----------- > >Heartlight Daily devotional and prayer are written by Phil Ware of >HEARTLIGHT Magazine, on the web at: ><http://www.crosswalkmail.com/nporddr_gkpjld.html>http://www.heartlight.org >----------- >The NIV Daily Verse is provided by ><http://www.crosswalkmail.com/ehurbbn_gkpjld.html>http://www.zondervan.com > >If you enjoyed this newsletter, forward it on to a friend. > >* Copyright 2005 Salem Web Network and its Content Providers. >All rights reserved. > > > ~~~~ Alan & Ruth Anne Wheeler <da2ofus@...> Proud owners of the following lists: Ladies Fellowship, LF Newsletter, Bread of Life, Christian Drummer and swgCares at: <www.associate.com>
