Author of Peace,
We come to You in prayer asking that You forgive us for our lack of trust in You. So often, Dear God, we place our trust in possessions, wealth, power and influence, but we still experience an emptiness within. Fill us, O Lord. Help us to know Your grace and help us realize You are the source of all that is. When we seek You first and trust You, then everything is put in proper perspective. We give You thanks and praise as we offer this prayer through Jesus Christ our Lord, AMEN.

I received this email after I had sent yesterday’s prayer. It is from Charlie Heller.
If you get this in time, please offer up prayers for Judi today at your services.
Fri., her fistula for dialysis quit working, so she spent Fri and sat in St Mary's where they put a temporary port in her neck to do her dialysis. We have to go to St. Anthony's, in Tulsa, first thing Mon morning, to see if they can save the fistula.
She is in a lot of pain at the time, but she's hanging in there.
Please pray for us to have safe travel, and hope they are able to help her. Don't know how long we will be there, but will let you know when we get back and how it went.

Please pray for Judi and Charlie today.
Russell Maupin’s funeral is this morning at 10 a.m. at Brown-Cummings.
Financial Peace University meets tonight at 6:30 p.m.
Please pray for those affected by the approaching storm. The CWF has already canceled its Wednesday activities, as much for the cold weather as for the ice and snow potential. If the Enid schools are closed tomorrow we will close the office as well. Call 233-1214 to find out about other potential cancelations on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Today’s scripture reading is Exodus 3:1-12:
Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian; he led his flock beyond the wilderness, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. There the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire out of a bush; he looked, and the bush was blazing, yet it was not consumed. Then Moses said, “I must turn aside and look at this great sight, and see why the bush is not burned up.” When the LORD saw that he had turned aside to see, God called to him out of the bush, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.” Then he said, “Come no closer! Remove the sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.” He said further, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.
Then the LORD said, “I have observed the misery of my people who are in Egypt; I have heard their cry on account of their taskmasters. Indeed, I know their sufferings, and I have come down to deliver them from the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land to a good and broad land, a land flowing with milk and honey, to the country of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. The cry of the Israelites has now come to me; I have also seen how the Egyptians oppress them. So come, I will send you to Pharaoh to bring my people, the Israelites, out of Egypt.”
But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?” He said, “I will be with you; and this shall be the sign for you that it is I who sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall worship God on this mountain.”
Grace and peace,
John McLemore
