Deuteronomy 29:1-30:20, Luke 11:37-12:7, Psalms 78:1-31, Proverbs 12:19-20
Today is the 6th day of April. Welcome to the Daily Audio Bible. I’m Brian. It’s great to be here with you as we end another week together and they do just keep going by but thankfully they’re not idly going by. Every single day the word of God is being sowed into our days and weeks and months. And, so, as we close another of our weeks together we’ll allow God’s word to speak into this day. We’re reading from the book of Deuteronomy. Today we’ll read chapter 29 and 30 and we’re reading from the Christian Standard Bible this week.
Prayer:
Father, we thank You for Your word and we thank You for another week in Your word. And as we conclude this week in Your word we take the words from the Scriptures found in the book of Deuteronomy to heart today. “I call heaven and earth as witnesses against You today that I have set before You life and death, blessing and curse. Choose life.” Father show us how to do that. We choose life. As You’ve said in Your word, it’s not too hard for us. It’s not like someone has to go to heaven and bring it down. It’s not like somebody has to go to the other side of the sea and bring it to us. It’s in our mouths and in our hearts. Well up within us Holy Spirit. We acknowledge, we want life, but we will chase every distraction that will lead only away from life. So, we ask for You to shepherd us, to Father us, to guide us, to lead us into all truth and our role is to trust and obey for there is no other way as the old hymns says, to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey. And, so, we trust You as we step forward and prepare for the next week. We trust You and we will obey You and will choose life. Come Holy Spirit we pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Community Prayer and Praise:
Hello DABbers, this is Christopher in Pretzel City. Could you please pray for Kassidy? She is an infant who has been diagnosed with retinoblastoma. She is in Madison currently and they are evaluating how big this tumor is and how to treat it. She will, unless a miracle happens, lose her left eye and her family is taking this hard but we are maintaining faith and we are believing in a full healing that will glorify God and we covet your prayers and this. So please join me in this declaration and thank you so much.
Good morning my DAB family this is Paula calling from Albuquerque. I’m gonna try and talk fast. I haven’t even finished listening to community prayer from Saturday but there’s a couple of things that have been on my heart and I just haven’t called. So, I’m going to do it now. Dash, you’ve been on my heart. From the first time I heard your call I couldn’t figure out why that name was familiar to me. Please don’t take this lightly. I recognized the name from watching the Incredibles with my kids and my grandkids. He is a fictitious character, but do you know the background of his name means that he could walk on water? And we can each walk on water when we keep our focus on the Lord. So, there’s some food for thought for you and we’ll continue to pray for you. The mom called from Chicago about your son, been there done that too. 10 years ago, I had to kick my son out. My first grandchild was on the way and I was terrified, but I chose to be obedient to the Lord. By the time she was born less than a year later our relationship was back on track. We were able to reconcile. It still is a rough road at times because he’s not walking with the Lord, neither is his wife but I pour into my two grandchildren as I can because that’s what we need to do as believers and mothers and grandmothers and people that have influence in their life. The other thing is I just wanted to remind all of you, I mean I pray when I listen but a very wise friend of mine shared with me several years ago and I hold fast, whoever is in our thought process, they are harmless, they are defenseless against our prayers. So just keep praying. I know there are many that are praying that we never hear about. Thank you for your prayers. Thank you for your support. I love you all.
This is Denise. This is going to be in unusual prayer request. I don’t hear this often as I’ve been listening for the past several years, but this is very important to me. I’ve been in the marriage for more than 20+ years and __ marriage ha,s changed __ years __ grown apart. And to make a long story short, my husband cheated on me some years back and it caused…changed the dynamic of our relationship to the point where it destroyed our intimacy and it destroyed our closeness. We’re still partners, we’re still sticking with it, we try to still love each other but, needless to say, I personal relationship is damaged and I’m here to admit that I started an affair. It’s been a long-term affair for years but I only did it because I wasn’t getting what I thought I needed from my husband but God convicted me to try to get close to God and I decided to break that relationship off and I broke the relationship off __ God __ me despite what I don’t have what I don’t get from a relationship from my marriage I was going to get from God. But I called today to ask you to pray for my strength because I want to be what God wants me to be. I want to be the wife who I need to be to my husband and I want the love and compassion that I have for him that I had in the affair. I pray for continued strength because even though I broke off the affair I deeply, deeply, deeply miss him. __ allow myself to call __ contact me __ ways because I promised God I was cutting it off and I ask that you pray my strength.
Hi family this is little his low Cherry from Canada with another creative way to pray. This month’s idea is very simple and symbolic, which are two of my favorite things. Maybe you have someone who’s really on your heart. Why not put the picture in your pocket to carry with you throughout the day? if you don’t have a picture of them maybe doodle their name on a piece of paper or write their name on a small stone and put that in your pocket and then whenever you touch it say a prayer for them? You are literally carrying them in prayer all day long when you do that. Another version of this idea is to carry someone’s picture or name with you on a walk and I particularly like to do this through the rain. On a spring day in Canada when it’s actually raining and not snowing I’ll take my umbrella and walk with someone’s picture held in my hand, which is especially meaningful if that person is going through something difficult because the symbolism is that even in the rain they are being held and you can pray as you walk that they will sense and know that the Father is carrying them even in the storm. So, I’m sure you can think about many of the versions of this. There’s no right or one way to do it. So, experiment, get creative, have fun. Picture prayer walks, another creative way to pray from the banqueting table of prayer. Thanks family. Bye for now.
