Isaiah 60:1-62:5, Philippians 1:27-2:18, Psalms 72:1-20, Proverbs 24:1-20

Today is the 30th day of September. Welcome to the Daily Audio Bible. I am Brian. It’s great to be here with you at the beginning of a shiny, sparkly, brand-new week and the closing of another month. So, this marks the end of nine months consecutively, seven days a week that we have been moving our way through the Bible and that leaves us one quarter to go, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Let’s be right here and enjoy the final moments that we have together in this month. It’s a brand-new week so we will read from a new translation, we’ll read from the Common English Bible. And we have finally reached the 60th chapter of Isaiah. So, we will be finishing up Isaiah soon, there’s 66 chapters. And today we’ll read Isaiah 60 verse 1 through 62 verse 5.

Prayer:

Father, we thank You for Your word. We thank You for this brand-new week to live into and walk into with You. And we invite Your Holy Spirit and ask that You lead us. And Father, we ask that we discipline ourselves enough to be aware and vigilant and listening for Your leadership and guidance. And Father, even as we begin this new week and this ninth month of the year, we look into the final quarter and it’s the busiest time of year. And, so, we invite Your Holy Spirit to lead and guide us through all that is before us as we prepare to move into the autumn here in the northern hemisphere and as our brothers and sisters prepare to move into springtime in the southern hemisphere. I thank You for Your goodness and Your faithfulness to us, Your merciful kindness toward us. We love You, we worship You, we declare Your faithfulness as we look back over the months of this year and we know that You will be faithful as we move forward. So, come Holy Spirit we pray. In Jesus’ name we ask. Amen.

Community Prayer and Praise:

Hi Daily Audio Bible family. This is His Beloved from California, first-time caller. I’ve been listening for 2 ½ years. I went to their women’s retreat in Georgia this year and was able to meet incredible women and Brian and Jill and their family and it was so amazing and I feel so connected to all and I’m just blessed to have you in my daily life. I am calling, finally, because I need prayer. I just got a bad…not bad…I can’t call that bad…I just got a report from a test that I had done for my yearly exam and instead of getting nervous I decided to pull over and call prayer and __ my family on __ with prayer. I would just like everyone to pray for me, that it’s nothing and my test results will come back in a week and everything will be fine. I hope that finds everyone well and I love you all and there’s so many people that I just…I enjoy listening to every morning. You’re so special. And God bless you all. Thank you Brian and Jill for this incredible community and your family. Amen…Amen brothers and sisters. Bye.

Hi Daily Audio Bible family. This is Rihanna calling and I’m really just reaching out for some prayers. I’ve been struggling with an eating disorder for probably around 10 years, but my anorexia reached the worst it’s ever reached and caused to lose some cognitive functioning and electrolyte imbalance. So, I’m just really reaching out for prayers during my recovery as I’ve been in treatment for the last month and ½ and I’m just continuing to ask for God’s strength and to feel back into fullness and __. Thank you for your love. Bye.

Hello, this is Zach from North Carolina and I was calling today because my wife, Kelly, is going in for in vitro fertilization, which is IVF. We’re having a frozen embryo transfer today and we would just really love it and cherish your prayers, that she’s able to get pregnant. It will be a couple weeks from now when were able to find out, but we just pray for those suffering from infertility around the world. And I really ask you to lift up my wife Kelly in your prayers, that this procedure works and that everything goes well and that we have a healthy baby in 10 months. Thank you for everything. Love listening to Daily Audio Bible and love all your prayers.

This is Becky in Louisiana. I’m calling with an urgent prayer request for my God child. Her name is Angelique and she is threatening her husband. She’s threatening to burn down their home in West Virginia and she is the granddaughter of my husband’s sister. And my husband’s sister is passed away now but she was mentally ill her whole life. And then this girl’s father committed suicide. But before he did that, he killed his wife and killed another man and then killed himself. So, she’s threatening her husband and he’s in West Virginia. He’s calling me for help and he’s going to the authorities to see if he can get some kind of restraining order on her. I think she has what they call paranoid personality disorder. And she’s just traveling around the country and I’m afraid she’s a danger to other people out there on the highway. She’s living in her car. And I just would really beg for y’all to please pray with us. I called about this and put it on the Prayer Wall about a year ago and nothing happened. And I just got really hurt and disappointed about the whole thing, but I know that God hears our prayers and I know that He can do anything. And, so please, once again I’m asking you to pray for Angelique, my godchild. This is Becky in Louisiana and I’ll be…I’m expecting a miracle in Angelique’s life. In Jesus’ name. Thank you so much. Bye-bye.
