Inspirational piece adapted from Max Lucado’s book, “Six Hours One Friday”:

The next time doubt walks in, escort him out. Out to the hill. Out to Calvary. Out to the cross where, with holy blood, the promise was given: "God would give up His only Son before He'd give up on you."

PRAYER

Discussed by Terry Lowry
with Host of the What's UP Radio Program

Heavenly Father,

Thank you for yet another day to learn of you, to praise you, and to serve you.

I will remember to open your Good Book and search your Word for comfort, for inspiration, and for guidance.

May I avoid foolish and evil distractions. Help me to determine to walk the narrow path between your guardrails.

Father, fill me with your wisdom. Guide my decisions and my choices. I cannot do the tasks before me without your Holy Spirit’s guidance.

May I not fumble or run from you. Grant me discernment.

Father, it is time to move forward. Be with me in all I do.

Praying in and through the name of Jesus Christ,

Amen.
