CONSIDER PRAYER

Dad is in Israel. Mom is juggling his four brothers' schedules with him (Nathan) assisting when possible.

A bad fall at practice. A break occurs. Pain ensues. Doctor visit factored into all the schedules. 

Break in collar bone is evident. VERY evident. Surgery is needed soon.

Prayer should be the first consideration. But....anxiety reigns until Philippians 4:6-7 kicks in....in everything let your request be made known unto God.

Consider prayer. Intercessory prayer that is.

When one is 1,267 miles away it's the only consideration that makes sense. (1 Timothy 2:1)

An intercessor is a mediator.  One who pleads another's case. One who cries out to the Lord on their behalf---for healing, peace, protection 

Our example is Jesus Christ who lives to make intercession for us. (Hebrews 7:25) In the same way, my Christian friends/prayer warriors continue steadfastly in prayer for Nathan. (Colossians 4:2)

It's the way intercessory prayer works. Others are there for you regardless of the distance and consider such prayers a privilege!

"SIRI"--ous Mistakes

Siri gets so many things wrong. Dictation becomes an edit nightmare.

Owen, which I type often, becomes Ah wind, Alan, Oh-and, or Oh win. Maybe it's my southern accent.

Dotsy is often Ditsy. Even prayers can be pears.

Do you ever feel like people don't hear you as well? Don't listen? Misunderstand?

But God.....listens, hears, and understands. 

• God listens. (Psalm 54:2) 
• God hears. (1 John 5:15) 
• God understands. (Job 28:23) 

He even intercedes when we don't have the words to pray and guides us in wisdom. 

God intercedes for us. (Romans 8:34, Hebrews 7:25)

God wisely guides. (James 1:5, Psalm 31:3)

Today I grateful that I can depend on God---not Siri for understanding, "Her" mistakes can get personal. Ditsy Dotsy knows!
