2 Kings 9:14-10:31, Acts 17:1-34, Psalm 144:1-15, Proverbs 17:27-28
Today is June 26th welcome to the Daily Audio Bible I am Brian it’s great to be here with you like every day, every single day, it’s so encouraging that there’s a place in this world called the Global Campfire. A place that we can come and exhale all the cares of this life and just give ourselves a break, permission, permission to set aside the cares and the anxieties and the swirl of stuff that ends up clouding our vision and confusing us and then crushing us if we let it. We just push pause we can push play, like if we get out of the Global Campfire, if we get out of this time in the scriptures together and we’re like yeah, somethings missing. Oh, it’s that anxiety, right, right, right it’s that depression, let me push play on that. We can do that, go right back into it if we want but this is a place where we have permission briefly, just for a little bit to reorient ourselves to God and we can do this every single day because ah, one day, can set us off track significantly if we don’t realign ourselves. And so, that’s what we’re here to do and that’s why it’s great to be here with you today as we take the next step forward and complete another one of our weeks together. So, we’ve been reading from the Contemporary English Version this week, which is what we’ll do today. We’re in the Book of 2 Kings chapter 9 verse 14 through 10 verse 31.
Prayer:
Father we thank You for Your word and we take that proverb to heart and we ask that that linger with us as we move through our weekend. Sometimes we can be people of many words and so often wisdom is to stay calm and keep quiet and be observant. And so, come Holy Spirit continue to lead us on the paths of wisdom that we might hear her voice at every crossroads. Come Holy Spirit and lead us into all truths as You’ve promised. We ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Prayers and Encouragements:
Good morning Daily Audio Bible brothers and sisters this is Sharon also known as Trees by the Water from Ohio and I’m calling this morning for three of my sisters. Kira from Denver you are someone that I think of often and pray for and I just wanted to say that your poem that you called in the other about breathing and knowing that God was that close to you like your breath, that was just really amazing and I know you can just see how He is walking with you every step of the way. I wanted to mention Beth, I think she used to say Beth from Delaware, she’s called in over the years for her daughter Deborah and Beth it’s been wonderful to hear from you again and hear how well Deborah is doing. I remember praying for her years ago and it’s just wonderful to get her updates and we’ll continue to pray for her. Also, wanted to mention a very recent caller Linda also called Maria from Sweden who called on June 18th and her call was played on June 21st. She said that she has bipolar and other diagnoses and had been in treatment. And she also mentioned that she became a Christian 3 years ago and that since then God has done amazing things in her life and Linda, I wanted to let you know that I can tell that the Lord is with you. You’re testifying of His goodness and grace and you’re quoting scripture to help others and I just wanted to let you know that we will be praying for you and that the Lord is working in your life. Love you all 3 and everyone else here.
Hi, it’s Patrick from Seattle. This message is specifically for Danny from Southern Oregon. Danny, I heard the fear in your voice and I completely understand. Just last week I drove through Southern Oregon and saw the devastation left by the forest fires from last year and the year before and it is horrible. And to hear that they’re starting again, that we’re back in the fire season is horrible, is frightening. So, I would like to lift Danny up in prayer, please join me. Heavenly Father, please help Danny through this and give her comfort and let her know that Your hand is at work and You’re going protect Your people. Please help her with her fear and anxiety as she deals with all these overlapping circumstances. Please God, help her Father to be comfortable and to improve his health and feel better and just give Danny the comfort of knowing that You’re with her Father in his ailments. Please help her son and her friend Elfie who’ve received evacuation notices. Give them safe passage and protect them on their way and guide them through this and please protect…put a hedge of protection around their properties as the fire approach on them so that they can come home to a safe place and all of their property and memories are contained therein. And please be with all the firefighters and police officers and first responders and fire jumpers that are gonna be responding to these fires, keep them safe. And help the communities as they deal with another round of forest fires this season. Please God, just use this as an opportunity to show Your miraculous hand at work. Please be with our sister Danny through all of this. It’s in Your heavenly name, the name of Jesus Christ that we all pray. Amen.
Hello, DAB, this is Lacey, also known as Consider the Lilies the elderly lady that’s alone. Anyhow, I’m very down, very sad, very discouraged, very hurt; an old misunderstanding of a few years ago has resurfaced and I feel like I’m banging my head up against a wall trying to make myself heard and understood. It’s just an exercise in futility and it’s going nowhere and the misunderstanding continues and continues, it’s with another believer who seems to think they’re better than me. And just attacks me and oh, I just, see’s things only through their own lens. It’s just futile, I can’t express myself. I can’t make myself heard or understood. I’m just weary, please pray for God to intervene and for me to not let this turn into depression. Thank you. It’s just another thing on top of so many others. God Bless you. Thank you. I listen daily and I pray. Bye Bye.
Hey DAB family I’m a first-time caller, I’ve been listening for quite a while at the suggestion of my mom, which is pretty cool. And, I love getting to pray with you and I love getting to be filled by the word of God. I used to listen in the morning as I’m getting ready to go off into my day. I am calling to ask you all to pray with me, I have recently started seeing a Godly man, which has been pretty great. But, I didn’t realize when we first started speaking how very much he is still hurting over his last relationship and how recent that was and that has been a huge challenge. So, I am just asking for prayer for his healing and my insecurities from past relationships that God would just help us both to grow through this no matter what the outcome is and that if God is blessing this relationship that we’ll be able to talk about these things and sort through them. And if not that we’ll figure that out pretty quick too. I thank you so much you guys and I love again to pray with and for you. God Bless.
