Application

If someone were to describe me and the impact my life has had, what might that person say?

Prayer

Pray today’s Scripture back to God:

Dear God, Help me to live my life in such a way that others would describe me as being someone who lived for You. In Jesus’ name, 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:

• Pat & Hannah Kelley
