(1 Chronicles 16:11)

***DAILY PERSONAL PRAYER FOR YOU: Lord, protect me from the wiles of satan that seeks to entrap me. Help me to stay in Your Word so I am able to discern what is of YOU, and what is of the enemy. Grant me wisdom this day to follow Your Word alone. In the name of Jesus I pray…AMEN!

***THE DAILY LIVEPRAYER TV NUGGET: The coming school year! I am praying for you parents and grandparents as your children head back to school, some as early as next week! I started warning people early this year that there is going to be a nuclear bomb go off in this country when school starts. That was simply based on the hyper-sexualized and radical racial curriculum that will be taught in a large percentage of the school this year, INCLUDING IN MANY PRIVATE SCHOOLS! Additionally, most kids returning to school will be faced with “vax mandates.” That will be not just at the college level, but K-12! Now you can add a second nuclear bomb with the recent mask ! mandates that
will be enforced in most schools around the nation, from colleges to K-12! Oh, and if that wasn’t enough drama, the head of the teachers union which is the last remaining union in the country that still wields incredible political power, announced that their teachers may take another year off! Unknown long term damage was done to millions of school kids last year with the school shut down due to the Chinese Flu, as saw a spike in suicides by kids as young as 8, and abuse of alcohol and drugs with a 30% increase in deaths by drug overdoses. Now millions of children may be facing a second year without school in many parts of the nation!!! Like the destruction of our economy, the obliteration of our border and immigration policies, unbridled crime in cities across the nation, the raw disdain for our nation and its’ symbols like the flag and anthem, and the mismanagement of the Chinese Flu health crisis…ALL ARE BEING DONE ON PURPOSE!!! NEVER FORGET THAT ALL OF THE DESTRUCT! ION TO OUR
NATION YOU ARE WITNESSING IN REAL TIME EACH DAY IS NOT THE RESULT OF BAD POLICIES, IT IS BEING DONE ON PURPOSE!!! Know I will be praying for you parents and grandparents as you navigate these treacherous waters with your children and school in the coming weeks and months. I will also be praying for the Lord to protect these innocent lives as they face uncertainty and chaos at a time in their lives when they should have structure and stability. Sadly, these events will affect them in varying degrees for the rest of their lives!!!

It is that time when another school year is ready to begin. Most who read this Devotional are ready to start another year of High School or College or have children get! ting ready for
another academic year. Some of you are teachers or critical support personnel. As we pray for our teachers, please pray for those who are in the administration of our school, THOSE GREAT BUS DRIVERS, he cafeteria workers, teachers aids, and everyone else that it takes to make our schools operate!

It is a busy time. Students are juggling school work, outside activities, hopefully church, and in some cases work as well. Parents are busy with work, taking care of the home, as well as being involved in their children’s lives. It is hectic, it is stressful, and just getting from one day to the next can be a challenge.

Today, I have a very special word for all of the young adults heading back to school, for the teachers and support personnel, as well as for the parents. This is a special word everyone with a student or is the parent of a student needs to read!!!

THE KEY TO EACH DAY IS YOUR DAILY TIME WITH THE LORD. I suggest that you start the day, even if it mea! ns
getting up 30 minutes early, and spending time in prayer and the Bible. It strengthens your personal relationship with Christ. It is the best way possible to start a new day. It gives you strength and focus throughout the day. It is also a spiritual insurance policy.

During your busy day, you will face many challenges. You will be making many decisions. Having that daily time with the Lord first thing will help you meet the challenges of life in His strength, not yours, and help you make wise, Godly decisions.

*There is nothing more important that you can do each day than start it in prayer and the Word!

One of the big problems in day-to-day life is we often live it in our own strength, apart from the Lord. The Bible tells us to “pray without ceasing.” There are many ways to interpret this verse of Scripture. One very real and practical meaning is literally, to pray without ceasing.

Once I talk to the Lord in the morning, I never sign off until that n! ight
before I go to sleep. I am “online” ALL DAY. I talk to the Lord throughout the day about all of the issues I face. I realize without Him, I can do nothing. When I am weak, He is strong.

This not only keeps me focused on Him, what He wants, how He wants me to act, the choices He wants me to make, but it keeps me from letting the problems of normal day-to-day life get me down.

I love you and care about you so much. I know this is a busy time for most of you. A time of challenges for those still in school at any level. A time of challenges for you moms and dads out there. A challenging time for the teachers. In spite of the hustle and bustle of your daily lives, never, never lose sight of two things.

First and most important is our purpose in this life. To serve and glorify Him. It is no accident that you are going to school where you are, involved in the activities you are. God has opened these doors so that you can be a light to those still in darkness. Neve! r forget,
your loudest witness to nonbelievers is not what you say, but how you live your life.

Second, is your daily focus on Christ. This is the key to staying balanced and on track in the midst of all the many things you do each day. It is what keeps you on track, so that God can use you to be a blessing to others.

I will be praying for you. Some of you are in new schools. Some of you are facing big challenges this year. Many of you parents are challenged by the finances and other aspects of your children’s educational experience. Many of you teachers are dealing with complicated issues. For most it can be a very difficult time. However, it can also be a very rewarding time. Never forget that each day God gives us is a gift from Him, and is to be used wisely. Make the most of it.

It is no accident that you are where you are right now. God ordained it. So work hard and accomplish all that you can. Don’t settle for anything less than your best. God gave His very bes! t, and
expects us to do the same. We only get one life, one opportunity so make the most of it.

While we enjoy the abundance this life can offer, we must also never forget that we are here to serve Him. Make the Lord proud of you as you live each day for Him and let your light shine bright for all around you to see. Now more than ever, the Lord needs those who follow Him to be bold and courageous in standing up to the lies of this world. Remember, you have God and His Truth on your side!

Enjoy what I pray for many, despite the challenges of this day, will be a wonderful season of your life!!!

In His love and service,

Your friend and brother in Christ,

Bill Keller
