SCRIPTURE: 3 John 1:3-4 SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God. Prayer is a crucial part of our spiritual journey with the Lord. As we learn more about Christian disciplines, we grow, develop, and mature. Many of us start by saying short prayers when we are young children, during mealtime, and at bedtime. For this week's lesson, we have a special guest joining us — our first grandchild and only granddaughter, Riley. We're grateful that you want to share some of your spiritual journey with us today. "… telling me about your faithfulness and that you are living according to the truth. I could have no greater joy than to hear that my children are following the truth." 3 John 1:3-4Head to Heart: Ask yourself these questions: When did you decide to trust Jesus as your personal Savior? How do you live differently today because you are a follower of Jesus? Reflect on your prayer life and ask the Lord for help in developing this spiritual discipline. What are other ways you can stay close to God each day? SONG: "Gratitude" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5xDNzuXGtA&list=RDY5xDNzuXGtA&start_radio=1

Finding Hope in Suffering: Lessons from Psalm 75 explores how to maintain faith during life's darkest moments. This powerful message unpacks how Asaph responded to national catastrophe with thanksgiving rather than despair, teaching us to focus on God's nearness and past faithfulness even when circumstances seem hopeless. Discover God's promises about justice and suffering, including His appointed time for judgment and His active role in steadying the world even as it totters. Learn why God's timing for justice differs from our expectations and how His apparent slowness may actually be divine mercy. The message contrasts God's response to pride versus humility, offering encouragement to those who humble themselves before Him. Through the powerful biblical imagery of God's cup of wrath—which Jesus willingly drank on our behalf—find assurance that suffering has meaning, justice will prevail, and believers will ultimately be exalted in Christ's righteousness. This timely teaching offers practical applications for maintaining hope during trials, practicing thanksgiving in suffering, embracing humility, evaluating worldly pursuits, and trusting God's perfect timing. Perfect for anyone experiencing hardship, questioning God's goodness, or seeking biblical perspective on suffering, pain, hope, faith, justice, mercy, humility, and the redemptive work of Christ.

SCRIPTURE: Matthew 6:9-11 / Luke 11:2-3SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God. Do you remember when you first memorized The Lord's Prayer? How old were you? "This, then, is how you should pray: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” Matthew 6:9-10 (NIV) As children of God, we have a personal connection with our Heavenly Father. Each of us can approach Him to share our requests and burdens. He is holy and deserving of our praise. "See how very much our Father loves us, for He calls us his children, and that is what we are!" - 1 John 3:1 (NLT)The Kingdom of God is a fundamental concept in Christian theology, representing God's rule and authority over His creation, especially among believers. It represents God's presence and power, both now and in the future. During His earthly ministry, Jesus taught about the Kingdom of God. People's lives are transformed and renewed as they turn away from their sin and follow God's will. "Kingdom Come" – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlQQcQc0eHU&list=RDNlQQcQc0eHU&start_radio=1

SCRIPTURE: Matthew 6:9 / Luke 11:1-2SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God. Prayer is a vital part of our Christian life. We communicate with our Heavenly Father and seek His wisdom, guidance, and direction. Jesus' disciples traveled with Him for three years. They listened to His teachings, witnessed His miracles, and heard Him pray. Many times, He would go off to pray in the evening or early morning hours. In today's lesson, the disciples ask Jesus to teach them how to pray. He responds with the prayer we often call The Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6:9-15) or The Disciples' Prayer (Luke 11:2-4). This prayer is the example or model Jesus gave to His disciples. One day, Jesus was praying in a certain place. When He finished, one of his disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”He said to them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be Your name.'” Luke 11:1-2 God's "name" reflects His nature. Jesus called God His Father. We also call Him our Heavenly Father to give Him glory and praise. "But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is holy." 1 Peter 1:15 SONG: "Song of the Saints" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmrbS8pI6HU&list=RDNmrbS8pI6HU&start_radio=1

Have you ever truly grasped the immense power and sacred promises embedded within the Priesthood? This video unlocks the profound truths of Doctrine & Covenants 84! Summary: In this powerful exploration, we delve into D&C 84, a foundational revelation given to elders returning from their missions, revealing the grand scope of the Restoration. It's not just about restoring the Gospel, Priesthood, or Church, but ultimately about the restoration of God's people to a right relationship with Him. This process is intrinsically linked to the gathering of Saints to Zion and the building of Temples, where God's glory can fill His house. The video dissects the dual nature of the Priesthood: the Lesser (Aaronic) Priesthood, which prepares us through the preparatory gospel and baptism of repentance, and the Greater (Melchizedek) Priesthood, which holds the "key of the knowledge of God" and the power to manifest "the power of godliness". It's within the temple that this power of godliness is most fully made manifest, making ordinances effective for our salvation. A central theme is the Oath and Covenant of the Priesthood, emphasizing the sacred promises made by both God and man. Discover God's unbreakable oath to bless those who worthily receive the Priesthood, promising them sanctification, renewed bodies, and becoming heirs of "all that my Father hath". In return, man's covenant involves receiving the Priesthood, magnifying callings, hearkening to words of eternal life, and living by every word of God. The video also warns against treating God's word lightly, which can lead to spiritual darkness and bondage, but offers the powerful remedy of repentance and remembering the new covenant. Ultimately, living these principles makes us friends of Christ and enables signs to follow believers, confirming the transformative power of the Priesthood in preparing us for celestial glory.

SCRIPTURE: Matthew 6:1-8 SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you will find additional resources to enrich your Walk with God. We look for lessons and examples from Scripture to guide our walk with God. In the first part of this series, “The Power of Prayer,” we examined many examples from the Old Testament. Now, we turn to the pages of the New Testament. In today's lesson, we will explore Jesus' words in Matthew 6. Jesus warns the disciples about hypocrisy. Yes, we are to live righteous lives, but “Watch out!” “You are the light of the world … let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father” (Matthew 5:14-16). We are to perform good deeds openly in front of a watching world, not for our praise, but to draw attention to our Heavenly Father and give Him glory!"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others." Matthew 6:5Again, “Do not be like the hypocrites.” He references the Pharisees and Sadducees, the two main religious groups. They are obsessed with what others think of them. They seek recognition for their “good and righteous acts.”We pray for the same reasons children talk to their parents. We share concerns. We have a relationship and seek fellowship. We want help when facing tough times and confusing situations in life. Children need the wisdom of a Father and Mother. "Lord, hear my prayer! Listen to my plea! Do not turn away from me in my time of distress. Bend down to listen and answer me quickly when I call to you." Psalm 102:1-2 SONG: "When We Pray" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DJ3NjA9ZjA&list=RD4DJ3NjA9ZjA&start_radio=1

SCRIPTURE: Luke 11:5-10 SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you will find additional resources to enrich your Walk with God. Jesus often used parables to teach His disciples and followers. Today, we will examine one of His lessons about prayer from His earthly ministry. In this parable, a neighbor knocks on his friend's door at midnight and asks for three loaves of bread. Wow! This seems like a daring and bold act. However, Jesus uses this short story to teach some essential lessons about our prayer requests to the Father in heaven. "And so, I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you." Luke 11:9 (NLT) In this parable, Jesus encouraged His followers to be persistent. Keep asking. Our Heavenly Father is not bothered by our requests—no matter the time of day. No matter how many times we have asked Him. We often hesitate to be truly bold in prayer because we don't want to seem demanding or presumptuous. Surprisingly, Jesus tells us to come with bold prayer requests. "So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most." Hebrews 4:16 SONG: "Approach, My Soul" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6oMKM-G5lw

SCRIPTURE: Luke 1:39-55SHOW NOTES: We invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you will find additional resources to encourage your Walk with God. Two women, cousins, were brought together by God's sovereign plan. In Luke 1, the young betrothed Mary quickly travels to the home of Elizabeth and stays with her for three months. Elizabeth welcomes her with words of blessing. "And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby leaped in her womb.And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, and she exclaimed with a loud cry, 'Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!'” Luke 1:41-42 The word 'blessed' means to be especially favored because of God's grace. Mary was most blessed because her Son would be blessed, and He is the greatest blessing ever given to all people. Mary visited Elizabeth, an older, godly woman. Their time together was filled with praise and prayer. Elizabeth shared wise words, comfort, and encouragement. Mary gave glory to God for His power, holiness, and mercy. "And Mary said, 'My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for He has looked on the humble estate of His servant.'” Luke 1:46-48 SONG: "Let Us Exalt His Name" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAnNfN8rnlM&list=RDFAnNfN8rnlM&start_radio=1

SCRIPTURE: Nehemiah 1:4-7; 2:20; 9:1-6 SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you will find additional resources to enhance your Walk with God. An inspired leader, Nehemiah, served as King Artaxerxes' cupbearer in Persia when an envoy delivered the report of Jerusalem's distress. Nehemiah's initial response to the discouraging news about Jerusalem's condition was emotional. He then turned his face to the Lord and cried out in prayer. "When I heard this, I sat down and wept. In fact, for days I mourned, fasted, and prayed to the God of heaven. Then I said, 'O Lord, God of heaven, the great and awesome God who keeps his covenant of unfailing love with those who love him and obey his commands, listen to my prayer! Look down and see me praying night and day for your people, Israel.'” Nehemiah 1:4-6 However, the enemies surrounding Jerusalem tried to discourage, mock, and deny their right to the city. Nehemiah responded with firm confidence in the God of heaven and reported that the people in Jerusalem would start rebuilding the wall. We conclude this lesson with the prayer in Chapter Nine. This is one of the great prayers of the Old Testament. It praises God for His character and His conduct. “Stand up and praise the Lord your God, for he lives from everlasting to everlasting!”"Then they prayed: 'May your glorious name be praised! May it be exalted above all blessing and praise! You alone are the Lord. You made the skies and the heavens and all the stars. You made the earth and the seas and everything in them. You preserve them all, and the angels of heaven worship you.'” Nehemiah 9:5-6 SONG: "God of This City" – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYegE7VRnLU&list=RDqYegE7VRnLU&start_radio=1

SCRIPTURE: Job 42:1-9SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you will find additional resources. You might be familiar with the story of Job in the Old Testament. This man faced profound loss and suffering, and in chapter 42, Job makes a heartfelt confession of his folly. "Then Job answered the Lord and said: 'I know that You can do all things, and that no purpose of Yours can be thwarted.'" Job 42:1-2 Job acknowledges that he spoke without knowledge and understanding. He now holds a deeper spiritual insight. He views both God and himself more realistically. Job had previously expressed remorse for his losses, but now he mourns his sins. He has changed his mind and released his rebellious pride and arrogance toward God."I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you; therefore, I despise myself, and repent in dust and ashes."

SCRIPTURE: Lamentations 5:1-22 SHOW NOTES: Our passion and purpose are to encourage you in your walk with God. We invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources. In this season, The Power of Prayer, we have explored the prayers of many different people. Today, let's take a closer look at the words of Jeremiah found in the book of Lamentations. This prayer is more than just a lament; he asks the Lord to remember the plight of His people and to restore them to their promised covenant blessings. "Remember, O Lord, what has befallen us; look, and see our disgrace!" Lamentations 5:1 Life without the comfort and encouragement of God is “desolate and barren.” God forgives and restores us in a personal relationship with Him, but there will be consequences for our disobedience and sin. He genuinely desires to bring His children to restoration – a true and authentic change of heart."Restore us to yourself, O Lord, that we may be restored! Renew our days as of old." Lamentations 5:21SONG: "Here's My Heart" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkSBmRAVXNc

SCRIPTURE: Jonah 2SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God. In the book of Jonah, we learn about God's assignment for His prophet, Jonah. He was to go to the wicked people of Nineveh and proclaim God's impending judgment upon them. Jonah decided to flee from God, so he boarded a boat in Joppa and set sail toward Tarshish. God sent a violent storm upon the sea, and the pagan sailors hurled Jonah into the turbulent waters."And the LORD appointed a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights." Jonah 1:17 The Lord rescued Jonah from drowning. A great fish swallowed him, and Jonah sat in its belly for three days and three nights. During that time, he must have engaged in a lot of soul-searching and reflection about his decision to disobey God. He began to pray and call out to the Lord. "I called out to the Lord, out of my distress, and he answered me; out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and you heard my voice." Jonah 2:2We can always pray to God – at any time and in any place. He wants to listen to us. We can cry out from the deep pit of disobedience and rebellion. "When my life was fainting away, I remembered the Lord, and my prayer came to you." Jonah 2:7SONG: "When God Ran" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgT5d1k_vVk

SCRIPTURE: Daniel 9 – Lesson #2SHOW NOTES: We invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth. There, you will find additional resources to enrich your Walk with God. Daniel was a man of prayer and set a godly example for us. He studied the historical scriptures and prayed to the Lord faithfully every day. He approaches the Lord based on God's loyal, covenant-keeping hesed love, which promised a covenant relationship with Israel. In chapter nine, Daniel confesses both his sin and the sins of Israel to the Lord. Israel had transgressed against the law of the Lord and refused to obey His commands. "While I was speaking and praying, confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my plea before the Lord my God for the holy hill of my God, while I was speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the first, came to me in swift flight at the time of the evening sacrifice." Daniel 9:20-21 “The man Gabriel” suggests that this mighty archangel appeared in a human-like form and spoke to Daniel clearly, as one man speaks to another. Gabriel serves as a messenger from God, delivering messages and explanations to Daniel. "He made me understand, speaking with me and saying, “O Daniel, I have now come out to give you insight and understanding. At the beginning of your pleas for mercy, a word went out, and I have come to tell it to you, for you are greatly loved. Therefore, consider the word and understand the vision." Daniel 9:22-23Gabriel conveys a message filled with hope and promise. He assures Daniel of God's great love and pledges to provide him with insight and understanding.SONG: "His Mercy Is More" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1GiZL60c80

Walk with God | May 21, 2025 Season 19: The Power of Prayer SCRIPTURE: Daniel 9:1-19 SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God. Daniel was a man dedicated to prayer. In previous lessons, we have examined two other instances when Daniel turned to the Lord and sought His wisdom and counsel. He was not afraid of the king; rather, he chose to continue his regular daily practice: “I will pray to the Lord three times each day.”"I, Daniel, understood from the Scriptures, according to the word of the Lord given to Jeremiah the prophet, that the desolation of Jerusalem would last seventy years. So, I turned to the Lord God and pleaded with him in prayer and petition, in fasting, and in sackcloth and ashes." Daniel 9:2-3In the following sixteen verses, Daniel associates himself with the people of Israel and confesses their sin and disobedience. He acknowledges the greatness, lovingkindness, and mercy of the Lord. "Now, our God, hear the prayers and petitions of Your servant. For Your sake, Lord, look with favor on Your desolate sanctuary. Give ear, our God, and hear; open Your eyes and see the desolation of the city that bears Your Name. We do not make requests of You because we are righteous, but because of Your great mercy. Lord, listen! Lord, forgive! Lord, hear and act!" Daniel 9:17-19Daniel cried out with fervent prayer to the Lord on behalf of his people. He has provided a powerful example of prayer for each of us.

SCRIPTURE: Daniel 6 SHOW NOTES: We invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you will discover additional resources to support your spiritual journey. Daniel was an amazing man who believed in the power of fervent prayer. The more we study his life, the more we are challenged by his commitment to the Lord and his faithful prayer life. He was taken captive to Babylon as a young teenager and served there for over 60 years. In this historical episode, he learns that the king has signed a decree stating that no one should pray to any god or man for thirty days, except to King Darius. "Daniel became distinguished above all the other high officials and satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him. And the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom. Then the high officials and the satraps sought to find a ground for complaint against Daniel with regard to the kingdom, but they could find no ground for complaint or any fault, because he was faithful, and no error or fault was found in him to criticize or condemn. He was faithful, always responsible, and completely trustworthy." Daniel 6:3-4The text does not explain why the other officials wanted to remove Daniel. Perhaps his integrity made it difficult for them to engage in bribery, fraud, and political corruption. They knew Daniel was a God-fearing man who did not worship pagan idols, so they devised a plan to trap him."When Daniel knew that the document had been signed, he went to his house, where he had windows in his upper chamber open toward Jerusalem. He got down on his knees three times a day and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he had done previously." Daniel 6:10 Daniel's choice: obey his God or the government. It was very clear to Daniel that he would obey God. The new decree did not deter him! He would continue to pray three times each day for the city's welfare and give thanks before his God! Then the king commanded, and Daniel was brought and cast into the den of lions. The king declared to Daniel, “May your God, whom you serve continually, deliver you!” Daniel 6:16SONG: "Before the Throne of God Above" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MUNywhsZPU

SCRIPTURE: Daniel 2 SHOW NOTES: We invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, to find more resources to support your spiritual journey.Daniel was a man of fervent prayer. He was taken captive to Babylon and served there for over 60 years. In this first historical episode, he learns that the king had a dream and wants to know both the dream and its interpretation. The wise men of the court cannot reveal this information to the king. The Chaldeans answered the king and said, “There is not a man on earth who can meet the king's demand, for no great and powerful king has asked such a thing of any magician or enchanter or Chaldean. The thing that the king asks is difficult, and no one can show it to the king except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.” Daniel 2:10-11Daniel learns of the king's harsh order—kill all the wise men—and requests time to find a solution to the king's dilemma. He returns to his house, calls his friends—Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah—and asks them to join him in prayer. "He urged them to plead for mercy from the God of heaven concerning this mystery, so that he and his friends might not be executed with the rest of the wise men of Babylon." Daniel 2:18 They asked for God's compassion to manifest through a revelation of the king's dream and its interpretation to Daniel. God revealed the secret mystery to Daniel. He believed this vision was an answer to their fervent prayers. “Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, to whom belong wisdom and might. He changes times and seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding; he reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him. To you, O God of my fathers, I give thanks and praise, for you have given me wisdom and might, and have now made known to me what we asked of you, for you have made known to us the king's matter.” Daniel 2:20-23SONG: Perfect Wisdom of Our God - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSnzYnOe6kI

Episode Summary: In this episode of Your Hope-Filled Perspective, we are continuing the Sacred Scar Story Series during which I’ve had the blessing to interview many people who have experienced some very painful wounds, but then saw God heal and do a redemptive work and bring about beautiful sacred scars. Maureen Miller shares about her devastatingly painful wound when she had dreamed of becoming a mother since early childhood only to have doctors report that short of the miraculous, she would be unable to conceive. She shares how she coped with her pain and her grief, and how God ultimately fulfilled her dream of motherhood through adoption. Quotables from the episode: Everyone has a story about something that has wounded them and caused pain. My scars have been more emotional scars having to do with the loss of a dream since I was a little girl, of being mom and so looking forward to having children and being able to do all the things that moms love to do with their kids. I married my high school sweetheart and not long after that we realized we were going to have difficulty conceiving. It was painful to hear a doctor say that short of the miraculous, you will never have children biologically. Those words felt like the death of a dream and cut very deeply. Having been raised in a Christian home, and having a good grounding in biblical truth and God’s promises, it wasn’t long before I really began seeking the Lord and asking him how he might use this pain for something good and bring something beautiful out of my broken body. I mourned and I grieved the death of that childhood dream that I had held onto so tightly. There was a season when I shook my fist at God, but it wasn’t a long season. As I began to delight myself in the Lord, and be real with him, and at times even shake my fist, he can not only handle all my doubts and fears and anger, but he can even pry open my hands that were clenching that dream. He began to show me that as I prayed with my hands up and open, he could either take that dream away and replace it with something better, or he could grant me that dream in some miraculous way. As I meditated on the scripture and began to delight in the Lord, it didn’t mean that God would always answer our prayers in the way we wanted them answered, but he would actually fill our hearts with the dreams he had for us first and those would become our dream. As I mourned then sought the Lord and delighted in Him first, He began to show me that it was his dream for me to be a mom—it just didn’t look like I thought it would. We have the choice when we are wounded to either turn toward God and seek him or turn away and walk in the other direction. There was shame because I had to really remind myself that my identity as a woman was not wrapped up in me being a life-giver. My identity came in Christ and who he created me to be. The Lord confirmed for me that I was “blessed in my barrenness.” Our pain became a catalyst for me to offer sympathy, comfort, and help for those he places in our paths. I realized I had the ability to minister to birth mothers who chose life for their children, carry them for 9 months, and then give others the greatest gift of life they could ever give. When God impressed upon me that I was “blessed in my barrenness,” I realized my condition wasn’t a mistake and that God had given me a heart to sympathize and empathize with those who are hurting. Over time we were able to adopt three children, but we also experienced the pain of two failed adoptions that have their own sacred scars and round out our story. It’s a beautiful thing when we’re able to hold up our dream and offer it to God and say “Take this dream if it’s not yours, and you have something better, or if it is your dream, confirm it so I can walk it out in faith and joy knowing it’s according to your will.” Delight yourself in the Lord. Spend time with Him in His Word. Spend time with God in prayer. Surround yourself with Christian brothers and sisters who can really speak into your life and confirm the truth. Know your identity in Christ and surround yourself with people who will remind you of that. Trust that according to Romans 8:28, God will work all things together for good for those who love Him and have been called according to His purpose. Journal so you can go back and look at the “stones of remembrance” and you can remember how God answered prayers. Once I surrender my will and my way, God has the freedom to work His perfect will, in His perfect way, and in His perfect timing. Scripture References: Psalm 37:4-6 NIV “Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun.” Romans 8:28 NIV “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Recommended Resources: Sacred Scars: Resting in God’s Promise That Your Past Is Not Wasted by Dr. Michelle Bengtson The Hem of His Garment: Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner AWSA 2024 Golden Scroll Christian Living Book of the Year and the 2024 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in the Christian Living and Non-Fiction categories YouVersion 5-Day Devotional Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms Today is Going to be a Good Day: 90 Promises from God to Start Your Day Off Right by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, AWSA Member of the Year, winner of the AWSA 2023 Inspirational Gift Book of the Year Award, the 2024 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in the Devotional category, the 2023 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in four categories, and the Christian Literary Awards Henri Award for Devotionals YouVersion Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day version 1 YouVersion Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day version 2 Revive & Thrive Women’s Online Conference Revive & Thrive Summit 2 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 1 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 2 Breaking Anxiety’s Grip: How to Reclaim the Peace God Promises by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the AWSA 2020 Best Christian Living Book First Place, the first place winner for the Best Christian Living Book, the 2020 Carolina Christian Writer’s Conference Contest winner for nonfiction, and winner of the 2021 Christian Literary Award’s Reader’s Choice Award in all four categories for which it was nominated (Non-Fiction Victorious Living, Christian Living Day By Day, Inspirational Breaking Free and Testimonial Justified by Grace categories.)

SCRIPTURE: 2 Kings 20:1-11SHOW NOTES: We invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, to find more resources to support your spiritual journey.In this current season, we have considered the prayers of people in the Bible—leaders, women, and kings. There are moments in life when we lose hope, feel overwhelmed, confront terminal illness, find ourselves surrounded by destruction, and face inevitable defeat. Where do we turn, and how do we navigate these challenging times?King Hezekiah was the king of Judah who reigned in Jerusalem and walked with God. The mighty Assyrian army threatened to destroy the city, while their king, Sennacherib, mocked the Lord God. "And he (Hezekiah) did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, according to all that David his father had done." 2 Kings 18:3During this time, King Hezekiah suffered from a terminal illness. The prophet Isaiah visited his bedchamber and declared that he would die. Upon hearing these words, Hezekiah prayed to the Lord."Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord, saying, “Now, O Lord, please remember how I have walked before you in faithfulness and with a whole heart, and have done what is good in your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly." 2 Kings 20:2-3King Hezekiah exemplifies his reliance on Yahweh. He approaches the Lord when the king of Assyria threatens Jerusalem. He cries out to the Lord when the prophet Isaiah informs him that he will die from his illness. God demonstrates His power to answer the prayers of a defeated, discouraged, and ill king who is facing certain death.This is true in our lives. This is our God! He may not choose to heal us physically, but He is more than capable, and indeed, all who trust in Him will spend eternity with Him, healed and whole.

He sat before the Lord and prayed, demonstrating humility in his posture while acknowledging the many good gifts and blessings bestowed upon him. David also pours out praise for his Sovereign Lord, who is holy, merciful, and gracious.“How great you are, O Sovereign Lord! There is no one like you. We have never even heard of another God like you!” 2 Samuel 7:22God's greatness overwhelms David. He has performed great wonders! His name is exalted! God chose to bless David despite his sins because, ultimately, David sought to glorify God and serve Him with his life. God extends life and His unfailing love to each of us. “Come to me with your ears wide open. Listen, and you will find life. I will make an everlasting covenant with you. I will give you all the unfailing love I promised to David.” Isaiah 55:3SONG: "How Great Is Our God" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWSKtoURGAg
