Good evening night owl ((HUGS))
It was clear but chilly today.
We're in for a nasty Friday:
possible freezing rain in the morning, turning to rain for the rest of the day.
What's up out your way?

I don't remember hot coffee in Viet Nam but there was a lot of reconstituted milk and chocolate milk.

Asking God

Bible in a Year:

• Hosea 12–14
• Revelation 4

The Lord has heard my cry for mercy; the Lord accepts my prayer. Psalm 6:9

When my husband, Dan, was diagnosed with cancer, I couldn’t find the “right” way to ask God to heal him. In my limited view, other people in the world had such serious problems—war, famine, poverty, natural disasters. Then one day, during our morning prayer time, I heard my husband humbly ask, “Dear Lord, please heal my disease.” 

It was such a simple but heartfelt plea that it reminded me to stop complicating every prayer request, because God perfectly hears our righteous cries for help. As David simply asked, “Turn, Lord, and deliver me; save me because of your unfailing love” (Psalm 6:4).

That’s what David declared during a time of spiritual confusion and despair. His exact situation isn’t explained in this psalm. His honest pleas, however, show deep desire for godly help and restoration. “I am worn out from my groaning,” he wrote (v. 6).

Yet, David didn’t let his own limits, including sin, stop him from going to God with his need. Thus, even before God answered, David was able to rejoice, “the Lord has heard my weeping. The Lord has heard my cry for mercy; the Lord accepts my prayer” (vv. 8–9).

Despite our own confusion and uncertainty, God hears and accepts the honest pleas of His children. He’s ready to hear us, especially when we need Him most.

Reflect & Pray

What’s stopping you from asking God for His help? What help will you seek from Him today?

Dear God, as you cleanse our hearts, grant us courage to ask for Your divine help, believing that You hear us and will answer.

[beachn4fun]

Snow. Maybe you’ll have a white Christmas.

We’re staying home this year, so just hubby and I, so I put up a small tree and a few decorations. Have most of the gift shopping done; cards mailed; waiting for last of the orders to be delivered; a few snack boxes to make this weekend.

Got any plans for Christmas?

Thanks for sharing the GOOD WORD.

[beachn4fun]

Good evening ML ((HUGS))

How’s things up your way?
How’s the weather? Tired of winter yet?
Will you have a white Christmas?

[left that other site]

I am already tired of winter.

I was tired of winter the first week in November.

I can be very childish and stubborn at times LOL.

[beachn4fun]

LOL.

Yeah, when it comes to cold and crappy weather, I can be childish and stubborn too.

Stock up and hunker down.

[luvie]

Sorry your Friday is going to be so ugly. It was very pretty here, and the full moon is shining bright on this clear night. It won’t get truly cold here till mid-week next week.
