Biblical Prayer Focus:
Psalm 23:4-5 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

Rejoice that we don't have to be afraid of death. Because of Jesus' resurrection, the final enemy called death has lost its sting and its victory. Praise God for His faithful presence with you, comforting you in all circumstances. If you feel abandoned, ask the Lord to make His presence evident to you or show you how unconfessed sin is hindering your fellowship with Him. Pray for those you know who are walking through the valley of the shadow of death.
