Week 1- Day 1

    I am so excited that you have chosen to embark on this 6 week challenge to change the world.  My prayer is that each one of you is consistent in your study and hearing from God.  Day 1’s theme draws us to the reality that our prayers really can change the world.  We sometimes lose sight of that because we don’t see prayer.  I am a very tangible measureable person.  If I spend an hour working in my garage then I want to see an hour’s worth of difference.  Prayer is different.  Sometimes I can sit down and pray in my living room, get-up and… the room is still a mess.  No one has called me to thank me for that difference I just made.  Prayer really is living by faith. 

   I like how Isaiah 65:24 is brought to our attention.  I read that and am reminded of times when my wife and I were dating.  She worked as a bank teller and then would go home.  I remember watching the clock so that I could call her.  This verse implies that God is excited and anticipating hearing from us.  It is humbling to think that the God of the Universe not only will hear from me, but He wants to hear from me.

  1. Hi! My name is Kim Davis, and I wrote the book you are reading! I will be praying for you as you go through the lessons these next six weeks! WOW! I pray that God will just thrill you with all He's going to reveal to you as you get in the Word and discuss what you're learning. Have an awesome time on your upcoming trip. I can't wait to hear about it!
