Hymns for the Soul – Billy Graham Crusades 18757_Hymns_for_the_Soul_8c68899dee.pdf
Listen/sing along to the old hymn Blessed Assurance by Fanny Crosby.
“I want you to know that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel.” (Philippians 1:12)
REFLECT – Although blinded by an illness when Fanny was a baby, she was never bitter but instead believed that her blindness was a blessing. She wrote, “I might not have sung hymns to the praise of God if I had been distracted by the beautiful and interesting things about me.” Reflect upon some of the challenges in your life. Ask the Lord to help you praise Him – with confident assurance – that He is in control. Pray He will use all circumstances for His glory.
PRAY – Savior, I praise You for saving me by shedding Your blood on the cross. And thank You, Father God, for Your Spirit that gives me the assurance that the promise of salvation in Your Word is true. I offer my praises and prayers as an offering to You.

Please pray for these requests with/for L and M in a sensitive field, code-named Perea:
–for their Mauritanian “son,” Labib, whose job shut down completely during Ramadan, leaving him with no source of income and adding to the stress of not having a vehicle and no funds to purchase one.
