Bible Wednesday 1/21: Secret Prayer

Studying this morning's four readings from the St. James Daily Devotional Guide (click to subscribe), I examined myself with these questions. Where is your self-examination leading today?

Psalms 55:1-23. Verse 22, what burden have I been carrying, that is getting too heavy and wearing me out—and which God invites me to cast upon him today instead?

Deuteronomy 10:1-22. Moses relates how God patiently gave him the Ten Commandment a second time, after the original stone tablets were shattered. How am I experiencing God’s patience in my life right now?

Hebrews 9:23-28. If Jesus comes back today, what do I want him to find me doing?

Matthew 6:5-15. Looking at the biggest challenges I’m facing in this new year, how can specific daily reliance on the Lord’s Prayer help me meet them?
