Today's Verse - Acts 13:3 (KJV)

And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.

—Acts 13:3 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...​

While fasting is not widely practiced in many churches today, it was clearly something that was a part of the early church experience. Whether sponsored by our congregations or not, let's make sure that we prepare for major events with a time of prayer and fasting, asking for God's leading, power, and guidance as we embark on his work in the world.

My Prayer...​

O Lord, I know you love all people. Please bless those who are in cultures other than their own, seeking to lovingly share your Gospel with those who are lost. Bless their efforts with success, protect them from the evil one, and lead them in the direction they need to go. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

We need to fast and pray before the Lord so Jesus will be so happy to help us because He sees our heart and our desire to do His will and to serve Him. I love Him with all of my heart. He has been so good to me.

Jesus is sending us to the ends of the world to tell others the wonders of God's kingdom. Salvation cometh from the Lord. Let us all listen and obey the heavenly voice that comes from glory.
