Daily Devotional:  

    “For we are God’s fellow workers;”  1 Corinthians 3:9

    Each believer has a specific assignment in God's Kingdom--work that can only be accomplished with the guidance and power of the Holy Spirit. Trying to achieve God's purposes on our own results in futility. The Good News is we don't have to go it alone. Paul tells us in Phillipians 2:13 that it is God who works in us both to will and to do His good pleasure. So, yes, work for God. . . but pray first. Then listen for God's instructions and allow Him to lead the way.

Prayer Requests:

Pray for her homecoming to be smooth and for her to have comfort and peace of mind.

Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.  And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him. – I John 5:14-15
