He said “The most important thing are the concepts, what am I saying to people? I’ve got to be going through some life myself and that’s why it takes so long. I have to experience some things, struggle with some things, overcome some things and get in the trenches before I have enough to write about.”

Today, we continue sharing devotionals from the book Let’s Pray: Talking to God with the Words of the Bible, by Dr. James Banks, who serves as a pastor at Peace Church in Durham, North Carolina and is a regular writer for Our Daily Bread. We finished up our chapter from Let’s Pray on Prayers for Guidance and Direction today.

The temptation we often face is to run our own lives and then ask God to bless us. What God wants from us is very different. Oswald Chambers observes, “If we could see the floor of God’s immediate presence, we would find it strewn with the ‘toys’ of God’s children who have said, “This is broken. I can’t play with it anymore, please give me another present.” Only one in a thousand sits down in the midst of it all and says “I will watch my Father mend this”.

David prayed “O Lord, I give my life to you… show me the right path, O Lord; point out the road for me to follow. Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you”. The Bible’s prayers for guidance and direction all have dependence as their starting point. In every instance, God matters more than what is asked, even though the request may be urgent.

Our Shepherd wants us near Him, especially when we don’t know which road to take. These are prayers to help us draw close…

1. Show me the right path

“O Lord, I give my life to you. No one who trusts in you will ever be disgraced, but disgrace comes to those who try to deceive others Show me the right path, O Lord; point out the road for me to follow. Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you.”

2. Send your light to guide me
“Send out your light and your truth; let them guide me. Let them lead me to your holy mountain, to the place where you live. There I will go to the altar of God, to God – the source of all my joy. I will praise you with my harp, O God, my God.” (Psalm 43:3-4)

3. Guide my steps by your word
“Your laws are wonderful. No wonder I obey them! The teaching of Your word gives light, so even the simple can understand. I pant with expectation, longing for your commands. Come and show me your mercy, as you do for all who love your name. Guide my steps by your word, so I will not be overcome by evil. Ransom me from the oppression of evil people; then I can obey your commandments. Look upon me with love, teach me your decrees. Rivers of tears gush from my eyes because people disobey your instructions.” (Psalm 119:129-136)

Prayer starters…
Show me your presence, Lord – From Exodus 33:18
Show me to how to have more faith – From Luke 17:5
What should I do? – From Acts 22:10

Thanks for listening!

Today on the show, we gave you three things…
1. Artist News
2. Uplifting News and
3. Chances to win!

Let’s break it down, shall we?

Firstly, the artist news!
Our friend Austin French dropped his ‘Wide Open‘ album last week!
Stars Go Dim also dropped an album last week, it’s called their ‘Better’ EP. It includes 7 songs, featuring ‘Heaven on Earth”.

Speaking of our friends from Stars Go Dim, they’re going on tour with the ever-amazing Francesca Battistelli!

Danny Gokey, Tauren Wells and Riley Clemmons are also on the road for their “A Hope Encounter” tour. Read more about their tour stops here!

Secondly, Uplifting News…
We had the opportunity to hear from the Chaplain of the Cincinnati Bengals, LaMorris Crawford, in Chapel on Monday. It was an incredible service that really slapped us across the face with a 2×4. It was a CONVICTING service, but also an uplifting one.
If you would like to be encouraged, I reccomend you watch the service! It’s now on-demand, so you can do so! Click here and it will take you right to the service!

A couple short take-aways from LaMorris that we wanted to share with you…
– You were created on purpose, for a purpose.
– Jesus bought you with a price.

Third and finally, we gave you chances to win with Game Time Tuesday!
Our games today? Song Poetry and Name That Tune!
The Song Poetry lyrics we picked today were from an artist on tour…
and the song is also the name of the tour this artist is on right now…

“Sick and tired of being sick and tired
Had as much of you as I can take
I’m so done, so over being afraid.”

None other than Francesca Battistelli! That’s her latest called “The Breakup Song”!
A great message from that one!
Congrats to our winner, Sandy from Mt. Vernon!

For Name That Tune, we played from another artist that’s on tour as well!
Our song clip was from Riley Clemmons, and it was her song, “Broken Prayers”.
Congratulations to

Today, Malisa, Joe and I gave you a chance to win with our mystery box contest! The way that these contests work are simple. One of us, today it was me, hide an item in the mystery box. We then use as many senses as possible, besides sight, and in this case, we didn’t use the sense of taste either.

We started with the hearing test.

Malisa shook the box and then asked these two questions:

Is this a common household item? Yes!

Where would this item be kept?  The kitchen.

Then we did touch test. Joe asked:

“Does this item have multiple sents? “Yes.’

“Is it used for cleaning?”  ‘Yep!’

After the touch test, we had Dan from Howard guess our Mystery Monday item! It was dish soap! He won the $5 Gift Card from Troyers of Apple Valley.

Thank you for listening to the Afternoon Drive!
