We are BLESSED and THANKFUL today and always. We pray you are blessed and thankful today.

Luke 11:9-13 are an awesome set of verses. Spend a few minutes today to meditate on them, apply them, and respond to God about these verses in your life.

Luke 11:9-13 (NLT)
9 “So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
10 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
11 Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?
12 Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
13 If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”

John 14:17-18. Meditate, apply, respond. Spend 15 minutes with God on these verses about the role of the Holy Spirit in our lives.

John 14:17–18 (NLT)
17 He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive him, because it isn’t looking for him and doesn’t recognize him. But you know him, because he lives with you now and later will be in you.
18 No, I will not abandon you as orphans—I will come to you.

We need the Holy Spirit. In John 14 Jesus promises "another Helper," one of the same kind and quality, called alongside to help. And we desperately need His help.

John 14:15-16 (NLT)
15 “If you love me, obey my commandments.
16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you.

Give God a few minutes to speak to you about being thirsty and coming to Jesus to receive rivers of living water. - MyDailyChurch.com

John 7:37–38 (NKJV)
37 On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.
38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”

Hear about the most powerful tool for your devotion time that we've been using for over 10 years; The Daily Devotion Journal.

9/11 – 20 years later. It seems like there is as much, if not more, disillusionment and discouragement in our country today as there was in the first months following the attack of 9/11.

What we have just witnessed in these past weeks in Afghanistan is so hard to see, and it's even harder to try to make sense of.

After 20 years of war and thousands of brave servicemen and women making the ultimate sacrifice – on top of the many thousands of lives both lost and forever changed by the initial attack of 9/11 . . . After all of that - to watch how it all ended in just a few days leaves me almost speechless.

This is a follow-up devotion from, “Your Prescription From God,” which was our last devotion. I hope that this devotion will help you take a second look at this same truth, more from a meditative perspective. Just allowing these same truths to wash over you, and fill you, and strengthen you.

I’d really encourage you to get into a quiet place for just a few minutes and allow the Word of God speak to you. And you can get the written version of this devotion at MyDailyChurch.com
