Prayer
Pray today’s Scripture back to God:
My Father and my God, Keep me from the foolishness of Saul, who consulted a medium when he didn’t hear from You. Help me to wait on You, and to act on what I do know is Your will, trusting You to take care of the results, instead of turning to the occult and dark arts. In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen!
