Amazing how I have become so dependent to something I\u2019d never heard of a few years ago. Eight years ago I began writing a Monday morning, one paragraph, spiritual jump-start for the week. It was first called, Dr. Dan\u2019s Monday Morning Memo, then we changed the word \u201cMemo\u201d to \u201cManna\u201d but writing it became a part of my routine, as reading it became a part of the routine of hundreds, maybe thousands, of people (Since many of my readers forward the Manna to their friends, and others post it on various websites, I have no idea how many actually read each Monday). A few weeks ago, my internet provider malfunctioned and the Manna was not mailed out, nor could it be accessed on the Internet. It disrupted my life. I began to receive dozens of e-mails, calls, and text messages saying friends did not get their Manna, or could not access the web site to read their Monday Manna. I had to re-access how dependent I had become on one simple task that I both loved performing, and through which I loved ministering. Then God reminded me to, \u201cBe anxious for nothing\u201d (Philippians 4:6). I thought, \u201cLord, does this verse, learned so many years ago, and applied to so many things over the span of my years, even apply to my little internet paragraph?\u201d \u201cYes!\u201d He affirmed. So, I\u2019m happy the Manna is back on schedule, and even happier that I learned once again a lesson of being anxious, \u201cfor nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Join me this week in praying for the following global concerns:
\n\u2022 Pray for University students who have devoted their summer weeks to serving God around the globe.
\n\u2022 Pray for Martha, as she returns from Europe for her stateside assignment, which will include many speaking engagements in the U.S.
\n\u2022 Pray for Tommy and Beth as they prepare to lead the School of Cross-cultural Missions on June 22-26 in Lima, Peru.
\n\u2022 Continue to pray for Mary as she seeks to see Russian speaking Jews in covenant relationship with the Messiah.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
