Why do you accuse God
of never answering our complaints?
Although God speaks again and again,
no one pays attention to what he says.
REVELATION 2:7 (CEB)
If you can hear, listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches.
THE ESSENCE
God is speaking to those who are listening.
DAILY FODDER
How do you normally hear God speak?
PRAYER
Almighty God, there is no greater voice in all of creation. Yet, we have trouble hearing you. If we could only get closer to you, we might understand, but how do we get closer when we can't hear you? Break into our little personal realms. Bridge the sound gap that we can't bridge, not just because we are lesser beings, but because we are sinful beings. Gently nudge us into union with Christ Jesus, so that we can live in full communication with you. I want to hear what you're saying. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.

Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
