Come Boldly in 2014 - Selected Readings from Genesis and Job

We are reading through the Bible chronologically this year, adding devotions from Come Boldly: Timeless Daily Encouragements on Prayer that with go with our week's Scripture readings. Two of the devotions that pair with our readings in Job and Genesis this week are:

Job 40:4 on Page 179 - "Inexpressible Cries to God" from John Bunyan:
"A poor prayer is just so many words.  A person who truly prays one prayer shall after that never be able to express with his mouth or pen the unutterable desires, feelings, and longing that went to God in that prayer." (excerpt from Pilgrim's Prayer Book).

Genesis 49:18 on Page 251 - "A Time to Pray" from Wesley Duewel:
"There are few instant answers in matters of spiritual importance." (excerpt from Touch the World Through Prayer).  

Join us as we seek God's Voice through the Scriptures and through prayer in 2014!
