Today’s Scripture:

If the Lord doesn’t build a house,    the work of the builders is useless.If the Lord doesn’t watch over a city,    it’s useless for those on guard duty to stand watch over it.2 It’s useless for you to work from early morning    until late at nightjust to get food to eat.    God provides for those he loves even while they sleep.

3 Children are a gift from the Lord.    They are a reward from him.4 Children who are born to people when they are young    are like arrows in the hands of a soldier.5 Blessed are those    who have many children.They won’t be put to shame    when they go up against their enemies in court.

Lyneta Smith
So grateful to Lyneta Smith author of Curtain Call for sponsoring the Pray Every Day Show! Lyneta Smith thought she was having a breakdown, when in fact, she was having a breakthrough. Read the inspiring story of how she stepped out of her stage-perfect Christian life and into the journey toward healing and finally seeing God as a good, loving father.

WANT MORE FROM YOUR PRAYER LIFE? If you’re dissatisfied with your prayer life, wanting to be more consistent in prayer, or looking to deepen your intimacy with God, then this Bible study was written for you.
This 8-week study teaches readers how to pray by “listening” to the powerful prayers of prophets, warriors, and kings in Scripture. Crickett looks at the heart behind the prayers of these men and women, including: Jesus, Paul, Job, Hannah, David, Asa, Jehoshaphat and Nehemiah. How did they approach God? What motivated them to pray? How did they pray? How did their relationship with God deepen as a result of their prayers?
