*A WORD FOR TODAY*

*PRAY AND MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION*

_"In these days he went out into the hills to pray; and all night he continued in prayer to God. And when it was day, he called his disciples, and chose from them twelve, whom he named apostles"(Luke 6:12-13)_

_*Human beings are creatures of God made in His image and likeness. From time to time they are bound to make a decision about life and their situations*_

_Jesus in the gospel reading gives us an example as to what to do when we have decisions to make. We must seek the face of God in prayer._

_*Despite the fact that He is God, Jesus prayed to the Father and taught His disciples to pray. This is because there is power in prayer and we commune with God through it.*_

_When we pray and pray well, God shows Himself to us and guides us in our decision making. He answers our prayers and shows us the way to follow to succeed in our endeavours._

_*Jesus prayed before He chose His apostles, He prayed when He started His public ministry and He will pray before it comes to an end. If Jesus who is God the Son could pray, what will be your reason not to value prayer and pray in season and out of season. When you pray and pray well, you will have the power to do exploit in God's name, healing, salvation, deliverance, protection and upliftment comes to those who pray with faith.*_

_Seek the face of God in prayer, He will enlighten your mind and help you make the right choice in vocation, marriage, career, studies, business and so on. Let your faith be active as you pray and learn to pray according to God's will and you will find answers from Him when you pray._

_*Good morning dearest one. Smile😊as you do your work and do have a great day. May Jesus give you the grace to pray well at all times. Amen. And may the Almighty God bless you: the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.*_

*Meditation:* Colossians 2:6-15/Psalm 145:1-2,8-11/Luke 6:12-19

*Watch-Word:* How good is the Lord to all

_*The power of prayer can change situations. Therefore, pray with faith and you will receive.*_

(Tuesday of the Twenty third week in ordinary time)
