Deuteronomy 21:1-22:30, Luke 9:51-10:12, Psalm 74:1-23, Proverbs 12:11
Today is the second day of April, welcome to the Daily Audio Bible. I am Brian. It is wonderful to be here with you today, as we get ourselves moved into this brand-new month. And excited to see the seasons continue to change. I love it when the trees bud and it’s time for the leaves to come back and start showing its face in this month here in the South in the rolling hills of Tennessee. So, it is wonderful to be here with you at this point in time, and it is wonderful to be here around the Global Campfire with you today. And today is known as Palm Sunday. So, we are approaching the end of the Lenten season, one week from today is Easter Sunday. And so, this week that we are moving into now, is known as Holy Week and there are many traditions throughout the earth, throughout the different Christian traditions in different ways of observing Holy Week. We’re probably most familiar with Good Friday, which will be this Friday and there are often observations of Good Friday. But each of these days mean something and they lead us forward toward next week from today, Easter Sunday the great rejoicing, the great observation of the resurrection of Jesus, and our hope for salvation. And so, may we, may we drink deeply as we navigate through this week. But for now, let’s take the next step forward, we will read from the God’s Word translation this week. And moving back out into the Book of Deuteronomy we will pick up where we left off yesterday, and we’ll read Deuteronomy chapters 21 and 22 today.
Prayer:
Father, we thank You for Your word, we thank You for this brand-new month, we thank You for this sparkly, shiny, new week. We thank You, that we get to fully move into this month and spend the first full week of it, this week, right now and out in front of us are all of the choices and emotions that we will experience. All of the decisions, all of the contemplation, some things to think through and we submit them to You, and we lift our hands in surrender and open our hearts and ask that You would lead us in these choices, in these decisions and these actions, in all of our thoughts, words and deeds. Lead us into all truth, lead us through this week that we might reveal Your kingdom and fall more deeply in love with You. Come, Holy Spirit, we pray into all of this, we ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.

This is Deb, All Alone in Texas. I come to you to ask for prayers for my daughter. I pray for healing. She suffers from a debilitating migraine that’s been ongoing since her father had died 3 years ago. She’s been on all different types of medications. She’s even had a surgery. She’s seems to just nothing is responding for her. They did try Botox, it did give her a little relief, but she continues to have the migraines. And now is missing work again. This is so debilitating. I pray and I ask for your prayers. To please be with her, please help them find something for her that will take care of this so that she no longer suffers and that she can live a normal life. I pray that you also pray for this family. We have had so much death in my family, over the last few years and ongoing struggles with her migraine and now additional cancer diagnosis in this family. I am so stressed that it’s affecting my health. And I pray that my biggest prayer, my prayer is for my daughter. Please pray for healing for her and for my sister, who suffering with metastatic cancer right now. I pray and I ask you to pray with me that they can be healed. In Jesus …
Morning DABers, this is Jerry from Wyoming. Any tears that you hear from me will be tears of gratitude. Anyone out there that does not know my situation is that I was involved in a pretty poor choice of drinking and then a DUI. Still awaiting the outcome legally. My I know the outcome spiritually. All of your prayers of encouragement has made me to grab the Lord’s hand. I started counseling on Monday and today will be first celebrate recovery meeting. It’s all because of the amazing leading of Brian. He listened and obeyed and we’re all here. All of you listened and obeyed in the calling of your prayers for me. There were so many prayers. I recorded all of your prayers on a recording app on my phone so when I can’t sleep at night, when the darkness starts to move in during the day, I listen to all of you again. I hear the love, the kisses, and the encouragement and it just blesses me. It’s Jesus through all of you. Please keep praying for the legal stuff. To me, that’s secondary. What’s important is that I’ve been restored in the hope of Jesus in my life. I’ve been praying this prayer that was given to me by one of the DABers it’s Jesus Son of God have mercy on me. Well I feel that mercy, every day coming through and I thank you again and again for those loving prayers. I live by myself so I hear you all the time and it’s such a blessing.
Hello, my DAB family. This is Yvonne from Ohio, Alberta. I had asked to be called His Beloved. But I seem to recall, now that there already is another Beloved. So, I’d ask that you call me His Little Songbird. I’m calling to give you an update. After, the surgery on my ear. Everything went well. And the tinnitus is still there cause everything of course is still swollen inside. And I have noticed that my hearing is a lot better than it was but it’s really sensitive which they say is to be expected. But I was wondering if, if you could pray that this tinnitus will calm down as the swelling dissipates. Cause, it’s getting rather difficult for me to deal with. And I’ve been finding that my temper has been flaring up again, after oh, having a fairly good handle on it over 10 years. I had pretty nasty melt down the other day. It goes well into the field of being embarrassing. And I’m ashamed. So, would you also be willing to pray that the Lord would bring up this draws and draw it out of me. I, I don’t want to be angry anymore. That’s not who He made me to be. Just praying for you all and loving you every day. Thank you.
Hello Daily Audio Bible Family. My name is Ari, I called a couple of days ago. Asked for prayers with regards to what’s happening at my work. And that I be placed with a new job. Yesterday, I got a call from my mother, things have not be so good at home. And now they are at risk of losing the home, their home. This home has not just been a shelter for them, my parents, but as well as a source of income because they’ve been renting out some rooms. And she risks at this ripe age to lose her home and her source of income cause she doesn’t have any other source of income. But there’s also other issues with regards to my parents and their relationship, their marriage, which has nothing to do by fidelity and lack of trust. And they’re at the point of giving up. But I’ve been listening to the 30th of March Daily Audio Bible. And it hit me how yesterday, instantly, as I was listening to what was happening at home and the anger started to brew in me. And the anxiety started to increase where I laid my hope in. And I just want to ask for forgiveness for that, my prayer is for that. Because instead of laying my hope and instantly just asking God to step in I started thinking about how to solve it myself. Or to ask for support in this family as she. So I would ask my Daily Audio Bible to please pray for me. Pray for me that I, I focus my hope on God. That I put my trust in Him. That He is putting me through these difficult times and that He is with me each and every step of the way.
