God Is Listening

Bible in a Year:

• Judges 1–3
• Luke 4:1–30

The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.

James 5:16

Chuck, an actor and martial artist, honored his mother on her hundredth birthday by sharing how instrumental she’d been in his spiritual transformation. “Mom has been an example of perseverance and faith,” he wrote. She raised three boys on her own during the Great Depression; suffered the death of two spouses, a son, a stepson, and grandchildren; and endured many surgeries. “[She] has prayed for me all my life, through thick and thin.” He continued, “When nearly losing my soul to Hollywood, she was back home praying for my success and salvation.” He concluded, “I thank [my mom] for helping God to make me all I can and should be.”

The prayers of Chuck’s mother helped him to find salvation—and a godly wife. She prayed fervently for her son, and God heard her prayers. We don’t always get our prayers answered the way we’d like, so we cannot use prayer as a magic wand. However, James assures us that “the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective” (5:16). Like this mom, we’re to continue to pray for the sick and those in trouble (vv. 13–15). When, like her, we commune with God through prayer, we find encouragement and peace and the assurance that the Spirit is at work.

Does someone in your life need salvation or healing or help? Lift your prayers to God in faith. He’s listening. .

Reflect & Pray

When have you seen God answer your fervent prayers? Who continues to be in your prayers?

Dear Father, help me to continually be in prayer and not to give up. Thank You for Your love that helps me persevere.

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...hope spring is slowly making its way to you and Tippy.

It’s trying here, but Saturday morning brought an inch of snow to my deck that is still not melted.

Except for the “Wintery Mix” last night, the days have benn beautiful.

My knees are inproving, and I’m up to a mile walk every morning.

Hopefully I’ll be back up to four, one day at a time.

Both Tippy and I have gotten a little tubby during this “Down Time”.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

Hope you are rested and ready to take on the new week.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...so happy to hear that the knees are improving...and the walks are coming along.

ODAAT on the way to your 4 mile mark. Good luck!!

Good evening, luvie...he did have quite the career.

I didn’t think one person could cram so much living into one life! But he did it!

[luvie]

Hey there, radu!

Did you have quieter weather there today? I sure hope so. How was the party. Did all the pimiento cheese get eaten? Bet it did!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, radu...did you make it safely through all the bad weather? Trees still standing? Pump houses ok? Internet up and running?
