to post in its whole, today's devotion:

PRAY

Todays devotion:

When we know not WHAT HOW to pray....

todays bookmarks Roman's 8:1-33 & John 5:44-6:43

From the Book Of John, "The Bread Of Life"

6:27 "Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. On Him God the Father has place His seal of approval."

28 Then they asked Him "What must we do to do the works God Requires?"

29 Jesus answered, "the work of God is this: to believe in The One He has sent:

...35 The Jesus declared, "I AM the Bread of Life. He who comes to Me will never go hungry, and He who believes in Me will never be thirsty.

He doesn't teach us here in His Red letter way - to hold on to 'self' as the answer, and then ask His approval of 'our' choices or to receive blessings from 'our' choices.

How to do the works God requires? BELIEVE on Him, Christ Jesus.
Bread of Life is that which sustains our daily needs; not to mention is a daily need.

Hold onto His eternal GOOD. NOT the to the circumstances of the day. Don't let satan deceive you into holding on to a bad, or the thought that God doesn't love you or care about your todays. Satan is the father of deception - his daily plan is to convince any he can that God does not have time for you, or have your best interest at heart. He will attack your believing wherever and whenever possible. SO fill yourself up with TRUTH instead of deception. Take in the Bread of Life - NOT lies. God is Good all the time He loves you.

Live in the blessing given: don't give the enemy a foothold. Hold onto the GOOD.

NEXT bookmark Romans 7:13-8:33

...8:24 For in this hope we are saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has? 25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.

26 In the same way, The Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the SPIRIT Himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. 27 And He who searches our hearts knows the mind of The Spirit, because The Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with GOD's will.

28 AND we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him (love God) who have been called according to His purpose.

...31 What then, shall we say in response to this? If GOD is for us, WHO can be against us?

SO, There you go! In this hope we are saved. Often, when I do not know what or how to pray - simply pray God's word led to.

His Word here, todays' prayer:

"Father God, in this hope we are saved: Jesus our Bread of Life. May I believe on Him and wait patiently on His timing. Where weak please help. I know not what to pray. YOU who knows my heart hears it cries, its groans, that no word can express. Search please my heart. Counsel it with the Spirits intercession rising up all of my hopes to be in accordance with God's will. THANK YOU, You God Are GOOD. You will work ALL together for YOUR GOOD purpose, and because I love you and trust in Your call and hold on my heart as it seeks Your purpose, it will be. If you God have planned it, designed it, purposed it - NONE can come against it. In the Truth and the Victory here, I place my faith - and hold to hope in You. Yes, for in this hope we are saved. Be my victory and strength to live out loud your plan today. In Jesus' Name - Amen"

In A friends crisis of belief today, surely inspired the interpretation of God's Word read today. In that inspiration is the prayer for any and all that may have a crisis of belief today... that God will guide and counsel our way to hold onto HIS GOOD today.
