Silent Stones

Be joyful always, pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Thoughts on Today’s Verse…

Do you want to know some things you can do to please God?

  • Rejoice in his grace.
  • Pray for others.
  • Give thanks for your blessings.

These are simple things God wants us to do, and doing them to honor him changes everything. Doing these things is not only spiritual, but also life-giving!

My Prayer…

Heavenly Father and Almighty God, I am thrilled at the very thought of being your child. Abba Father, please hear my prayer of concern for several people who are on my heart today…
Loving God, thank you so much for the blessings you pour into my life each day. In Jesus’ holy name, I rejoice in your grace, pray for these others I have mentioned, and give thanks for your many blessings. Amen.
