He Hears Me

If you are a regular follower of this blog, then you will notice a bit of a change for the next 8 weeks. I am serving as a table leader for an 8 week Freedom Workshop. If you'd like to follow along, you can find the resources at the link directly above. Also, I will post here, the daily Bible reading assignment (heartwork) so you can read along. This workshop has been a life changer for me so I'm eager to share it with others. May you be blessed!

BIBLE READING HEARTWORK
Week 4 - Day 5

1 Peter 5; Psalm 116

Psalm 116:1-2

I love the Lord because he hears my voice

and my prayer for mercy.

Because he bends down to listen,

I will pray as long as I have breath!

Oh, thank you, Lord, for hearing my voice and my prayer for mercy. Thank you for bending down to listen to someone as insignificant as me. But in your eyes I am not insignificant. I am your dearly beloved.

Lord, help me to not doubt or waver in knowing that you hear me when I talk to you.

James 1:5-8

If you need wisdom - if you want to know what God wants you to do - ask him, and he will gladly tell you. He will not resent your asking. But whey you ask him, be sure that you really expect him to answer, for a doubtful mind is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. People like that should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. They can't make up their minds. They waver back and forth in everything they do.

Thank you, Lord, for reassuring me that you do hear me!

Psalm 116:5-6

How kind the Lord is! How good he is! So merciful, this God of ours! The Lord protects those of childlike faith.

Praise your holy name! In Jesus' name, amen.

FREEDOM WORKSHOP VERSES

Romans 8:5-7 & 11

Those who are dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful things, but those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit think about things that please the Spirit. If your sinful nature controls your mind, there is death. But if the Holy Spirit controls your mind, there is life and peace. For the sinful nature is always hostile to God. It never did obey God's laws, and it never will. The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you!

Romans 8:5-7 & 11

Psalm 81:13-14

But OH that my people would listen to me. Oh that they would follow me, walking in my paths! How quickly I would then subdue their enemies! How soon my hands would be upon their foes.

Psalm 81:13-14

MEMORY VERSES

James 1:5-8

If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waiver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind. Such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do.

James 1:5-8
