You will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind (both its inclination and its character) is stayed on you, because he commits himself to you, leans on you, and hopes confidently in you. [Isaiah 26:3 Amplified]

Prayer changes things and we are assured that as we pray God will help us and guide us.  In the book of James He said that Elijah was a man like us. That means that Elijah was subjected to all human frailties like us.  One minute he is on the mountain the next minute he was hiding from a woman.  How many times we have allowed fear and circumstances to get us down even to the point of paralyzing us.  Elijah prayed and God responded to his prayer by stopping and sending rain. Even so God will respond to us as we pray. We don't have to be afraid.  Prayer is talking to God with love. It is not how long you pray, how loud you pray but how earnest you pray. It is all a 'heart thing'. God sees our hearts. Jesus said "go into the closet and pray" and He will answer you openly. Pray for and about everything.

Send love in the midst of despair, in the midst of confusion, in the midst of hurt and regrets, in the midst of sickness and disease. Send love to conquer doubt and fear where fear rules like a master of one's destiny, where hope is daunted by doubt where destiny is barraged by a hopeless past and where darkness seemed to have eradicated light, send love. For love will light the darkened heart, heal the wounded soul, right the greatest wrong. Love will conquer all barriers, go beyond all boundaries. Love will quench every thirst, heal every wound. Love will conquer in war and will reign in peace. It will climb every mountain, sail every sea. It is temporal and yet eternal. God is love! Today I send His love to you. 1 John 4:19, We love because He first loved us!!

The psalmist asked God to teach him to number his days so that he can apply his heart to wisdom.  Clearly, he had something of great significance to make such a request.  That is, he had a teachable spirit. He was willing to learn (the way of truth and wisdom) that would enable him to have a better understanding of knowledge to better walk and live a life of truth. What Moses Knew : 1.  He understood that his days are limited. 2.  He knew that he needed God's wisdom to live. 3.  He had a teachable spirit. 4.  He wanted to live in a culture of correction. 5.  He knew that success in life depended on the knowledge he gained that gave him the understanding he needed to apply his heart to wisdom. Our Prayer today should be Lord teach me this day to so that I may apply my heart to wisdom.
