14 Day Daniel Fast – Friday, January 9

An encouraging verse for today:

Philippians 1:3-6

3-6 Every time you cross my mind, I break out in exclamations of thanks to God. Each exclamation is a trigger to prayer. I find myself praying for you with a glad heart. I am so pleased that you have continued on in this with us, believing and proclaiming God’s Message, from the day you heard it right up to the present. There has never been the slightest doubt in my mind that the God who started this great work in you would keep at it and bring it to a flourishing finish on the very day Christ Jesus appears.

Our Encouragement of the Day is brought to you by one of our Life Group Leader Coaches at Awaken. We hope that you are encouraged this morning as you continue this journey of fourteen days of fasting and praying.

“I wasn’t raised in church. Mark and I dated in high school and we broke up because I thought he was going to get religion. I knew my parents would not accept that, so I ran. I ran for 28 years and by God’s grace he brought me back to him. Obviously God had a plan for my life. On June 28, 2007 the day Mark and I got married I also gave my heart to God. Since that day the old was gone and the new was born. We have allowed God to guide and direct our life since. Praise Him for what he has done in our lives. We are committed to serving Him for his kingdom. Glory to God!!!” (Shelly Mousty)

Are you praying and believing for a loved one today, that God would change their heart and rescue them from the pit they find themselves in? Be encouraged today, God hears your prayers and is doing work behind the scenes! Perhaps you feel that you have taken a back-seat to where you know God desires for you to be, God is not finished with you! His work has only begun. Believing the best is yet to come in 2015! (JZ)
