Joel 2:23
Be glad, O children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God, for he has given the early rain for your vindication; he has poured down for you abundant rain, the early and the latter rain, as before.

If rain is being promised to the children of Israel, it is a sign that God was restoring that which was lost. And not in small measure, but in abundance, just as He had done before. Which means, the blessing of God would be upon His people once again.

Isaiah 44:3
For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour my Spirit upon your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants.

God’s promise for restoration and return! Israel faced judgment from God because of their disobedience. But just like any good father, discipline doesn’t last forever. And God was going to bring Israel back to their land and overwhelm them with many good things.

Ezekiel 34:26
And I will make them and the places all around my hill a blessing, and I will send down the showers in their season; they shall be showers of blessing.

God has just been speaking to Israel about how He wanted to rescue and restore His nation with the right leader. In fact, He said that He would step in as their Shepherd. And once that happened, He promised they would become a place of blessing again, not just for themselves, but for other nations too.

Proverbs 6:20
My son, keep your father’s commandment, and forsake not your mother’s teaching.

If you’re a mom, you spend so much of your time teaching your kids. How to wash their hands, look both ways before crossing the street, how to be kind. Your hope is that as they grow, those lessons stick. So that when they become adults, they choose to carry those teachings with them for the rest of their lives wherever they go.

Isaiah 66:13
As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you; you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.

When you’re hurting, there’s nothing quite like being comforted, especially by someone you trust, someone who really knows your heart. And no one knows you better than the One who made you.

1 Thessalonians 2:7
But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother taking care of her own children.

Paul didn’t show up in new cities, throwing his weight around or demanding anything from people. Instead, he chose a different posture, one of gentleness. Not harsh or forceful. But patient, nurturing, and deeply caring.

Ephesians 5:31
Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.

At some point, a man steps out from the household he was raised in to begin a new one with the woman he loves. He leaves what was familiar in order to cleave or hold fast to his new wife. It’s about establishing a new priority, a new unity, a new commitment.

Proverbs 31:29-30
Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all. Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.

A woman who lives in the fear of the LORD, doesn’t lose heart when drought comes. She doesn’t cower when challenges come her way. And it’s because her confidence isn’t placed in her circumstances that change daily, it’s in the One who holds everything in the palm of His hands.

Matthew 5:44
But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.

This can be one of the hardest things to do in life. To pray for people who feel like your enemy. Maybe they’re your neighbor, or a co-worker, or even someone in your family. Yet when you choose to pray, something incredible begins to happen. God softens your heart and helps you see them the way He does.

1 Chronicles 16:24
Tell of His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all the peoples.

On this National Day of Prayer, what better thing to do than to lift your voice not just in prayer, but in praise? To go out into your day and tell others of the glory of God. All the amazing things He’s done, not just in your own life, but throughout the world!

Ephesians 6:18
Praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints.

Prayer is a necessary action for every believer. It’s what we’re called to do for ourselves, for the church, and especially for each other. God calls us to stay alert and keep praying, because prayer is one of the ways He works in hearts and changes lives.

Matthew 6:9-10
Pray then like this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”

Isn’t it so comforting to know you don’t have to guess how to pray? Jesus made it clear when He showed His disciples. Start by talking to your Father, honor Him, bring Him your needs, and then ask for His will to be done.
