Stories From the Road: Part 2
By Pastor Ben

In Psalm 18, David presents a poetic prayer to God. Read and study his prayer and note the checklist of things for which he asks:

* Confidence in the ways of the Lord.

    * Praise for the ever-present help of the Lord.

    * Thanksgiving for God’s rescue.

    * Praise for the almighty strength of God.

    * Worship of the Lord’s holiness.

    * Joy in the living Lord.

Do your prayers mirror David’s psalm? If you struggle to find the words to pray, grab a note card and write down 10 things to pray about: family members, friends who don’t know Jesus, thanksgiving to God for your blessings, and so on. Carry that note card with you and get it out and look at it anytime you want to talk to your Heavenly Father. Then, next week, get a new note card and writ a fresh checklist.

Navigating Through Your Days

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.”
                                (Proverbs 3:5-6)

“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.        (Psalm 23:1-3)
