Prayer

Pray today’s Scripture back to God:
Dear Father in Heaven, Thank You for fulfilling Your promises to Israel. Thank You, Father, for the special blessing You gave to Caleb in honor of his loyalty to You, and thank You for the example of Caleb to Your people throughout history. May I ever remain loyal to You, my King and my God, in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ! Amen!

Pray to BLESS!
One good way to pray for people is to use the acronym BLESS to pray for God’s blessing on every area of their lives:

• B – BODY (physical health)
• L – Labor (their job or school)
• E – Emotions (emotional health as well as guarding against letting emotions rule)
• S – Social (relationships with family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, church, etc)
• S – Spiritual (remaining true to God and growing in Him)

Spend some time praying for the following people and ministries:

• Mike & Jamie Haberkorn (Hannah, Sean)
• David & MaryBeth Hollander (Cole, Marcus)
• Bob & Peggy Hoover

Ministry:

• Chrysalis Women’s Transitional Housing
