Today God says:
"I always hear you when you pray according to My will".
He promises me:
"And this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us". (1 John 5:14)
My response to the word:
God hears me when I pray according to His will (His Word). Therefore, I will study to show myself approved unto God, a workman that does not ever need to be ashamed because I know how to rightly divide God's Word. God's Word is the bridge that spans the gap between God's way and my ways, God's thoughts and my thoughts.
My prayer:
Lord, thank you for the confidence I have when I pray according to your will. I will pray your Word throughout this day.
Today's scriptures:
"The Lord's eyes are on righteous people. His ears hear their cry for help… Righteous people cry out. The Lord hears and rescues them from all their troubles". (Ps. 34:15,17 GW) "O Lord, listen to my prayer. Open your ears to hear my urgent requests. Answer me because you are faithful and righteous". (Ps. 143:1 GW) "If you live in me and what I say lives in you, then ask for anything you want, and it will be yours". (John 15:7 GW)
Quote for today:
Too often we forget to thank God for answered prayer. Praise is the proper punctuation mark for an answered prayer. (Unknown)
On this day:
"Scriptures are taken from the King James Bible or those marked (GW) are from the God's Word Translation, used with permission".

On 25th October 1400, English poet Geoffrey Chaucer died in London at the age of 56 years., having abruptly stopped writing his famous Canterbury Tales some time before. Though not a religious writer, his characters aptly illustrate the best and worst of the church in his day. Chaucer was buried in Westminster Abbey, a high honour for a commoner, and he became the first of those entombed in what is now called Poets' Corner.
