"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God." In Philippians 4:6, God calls us to pray to Him about anything and everything in all situations. A new prayer group is starting up to do just that. The group will meet twice a week on Mondays and Fridays in room 112 at 7am, and the sole purpose of the group will be to pray for this school and those in it, this city, this country, and this world. If you are in need of prayer, whether you are a faculty member or a student, you are welcome to come on Monday mornings starting on September 12 and the members of the group will pray for you in person. If you want to request prayer, but not in person, you can send emails to request@flhsemail.org. If you are interested in joining the group and praying for everything under the sun, please contact Hannah Hines by email (hh8604@flhsemail.org) for more information or to confirm your intent to join.

Daily Devotional
Happy at You
READ:
See, I have written your name on the palms of my hands (v.16).
My 3-year-old daughter caught me staring at her. “Mommy, why are you looking at me like that?” “Because I love you and delight in you,” I said. “God looks at you that way too.” “You mean, God looks happy at me?” she earnestly inquired. “Yes!” I said. “God always looks happy at you,” I emphasized. “Then I look happy at Jesus, at you, at daddy, and [my] sisters,” she concluded. When she finished, I think she could see me beaming with happiness. I want my three daughters to know deep down that God delights in them and loves them “with an everlasting love” (Psalm 37:23, 149:4; Jeremiah 31:3).
When we’re going through extreme difficulties—things that threaten to overwhelm us—it can be natural to wonder if God cares. If God loves me, why is He letting this happen? we wonder. Or if we have unanswered prayers and are yearning to hear a good word from God, but do not, we may question His goodness toward us. I know I have. And while I have no satisfying answer to the problem of evil in the world or to unanswered prayer, I’m convinced God loves us and delights in us.
In Isaiah 49:15-16 God reveals His loving heart toward His children: “Can a mother forget her nursing child? Can she feel no love for the child she has borne? But even if that were possible, I would not forget you! See, I have written your name on the palms of my hands.” The people may have felt “deserted” due to oppression (v.14), but He promised, “Those who trust in me will never be put to shame” (v.23).
When God’s love for us moves from head knowledge into the depths of our very being, it transforms us. Knowing God’s character and that we’re His beloved sons and daughters elicits trust from us even during the darkest of nights. —Marlena Graves

Reflect on Psalm 23:6. What does it tell you about God’s love and goodness?

Do you know deep down that God loves you dearly? How will you revel in happiness as you consider this truth today?
