Touching God

Just a brief explanation of how these inspirational thoughts were organized. Each daily scripture was, based on the date. For example, March is the third month. Then on March 16th (3/16), the scripture for that day is John 3:16. You get the idea. Other than the above, the daily thoughts are not in order, such as with a story or building a theme. Therefore, you can begin using this book at any time of the year. May you feel as inspired in the reading as I was in the writing.

Touching God, provides a daily short saying from the ancient sheik, Job, from King David's psalms, and from his son King Solomon's Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Songs. Job lived some thousand years before David and Solomon; yet we see the same wisdom of God shines forth in every millennium of mankind.

This third book in the trilogy, Touching God, is suggested prayers to end your time of devotion. Each prayer encourages praise, confession of sins, and thanksgiving. The sins included in this book are from the many lists of sins scattered through the Bible, especially the New Testament. I left out requests so you can add your own personal needs and observations. I highly encourage you to pray a little bit for yourself and a whole lot for other people. Pray through your congregation's membership directory, a nearby school's lists of teachers, administrators, and maintenance staff, stories from your local newspaper, lists of state and federal officials, lists of missionaries, names of your neighbors, etc. I dare you to pray for 50 people, 100 people, and 500 people. You do not need to explain each person's needs. God knows them. If all you can do is bring their name before the throne of God, then do that. Set aside time every day for prayer. It may be all in the morning, all in the evening, or scattered throughout the day. May these prayers help you along the way to connect with your Maker, your God, and the Lover of your Soul.
