Show Us Your Glory, Lord… August 22,2025…Keeping Close

NOTHING IS SMALL…

Dear Praying Friends,

It’s hard to believe that we are almost at the end of August and another summer is quickly fading behind us. In most places, kids are back to school. The kids where I live return next week but I have heard of some places that have already been back for several weeks!

I have been thinking again about my contributions to God’s Kingdom work. This week, I gave 5 rides to those without transportation. It didn’t seem important to me, but it was important to them.

I know that many of you have already heard of the passing of Dr. James Dobson. His work in the Kingdom has seemed huge. In comparison, mine seems pretty small.It is easy to compare ourselves to others, but I feel like God is reminding me again this week, that there is nothing small in His economy. He is looking for obedient hearts. He promises that if we are faithful in the little things, He will give us bigger things. Not really sure if I want anything much bigger right now, but I am willing to say YES when I know that God is leading. Please just understand that you are important to God. That kind word that you give to a stranger (maybe the checker at Walmart), that ride you give, that listening ear that you provide for a hurting friend, that hug, that smile, it all counts. And your prayers avail much when prayed from a sincere heart.

I pray on into August 2025 (nearing the end) and I invite you to join me:

SHOW US YOUR GLORY, LORD! HELP US TO THRIVE IN 2025 AND HELP US TO BE UNSHAKABLE. (based on Psalm 62:6)

Let’s keep praying for Nation and neighbor…

Prayer Fuel: Lord, free us from our insecurities that make us think that we are too small for You to use. Let each brother and sister hear Your voice today and respond with a YES to all that You ask of them. We are loved and I say “thank you!” I pray in Your Name and I stand in Your Name..(add your own prayers here) SHOW US YOUR GLORY, LORD! HELP US TO THRIVE IN 2025 AND HELP US TO BE UNSHAKABLE. (based on Psalm 62:6)

Think/Journal/Apply: Is there something that God has asked of You that remains undone? Talk to Him about it again.
