***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!!!

***August Financial Update***
Blessings! I really need your help today! We ended July still carrying the final $35,000 from our June shortfall and of course the $55,000 we required for our July ministry operations. That is a total of $90,000 to clear up our shortfalls almost half way through our anniversary month of August. God is able!
Thanks to the faithfulness of our friends praying and those able to help me at this time, our June shortfall is now down from $35,000 to the final $20,000. Amen! If God has put you in a place to help me with a special gift to cover all of that or some portion, please do what you can today so we can have this balance cleared up ASAP. GOD IS ABLE!
26TH Anniversary month! As we head into August, our 26th anniversary month, please pray about helping me with a special one-time gift of $26, $1 for every year, or $260, $10 for every year, or $2,600, $100 for every year, or $26,000, $1,000 for every year.
The Bible teaches us to “give according to our ability to give.” For some that may be $10 or $20. For others it may be $50 or $100. Still others it may be $200, $500, $1,000, $10,000 or more. God will bless your gift no matter the amount.
Also, don’t forget a gift of $1,800 covers one day of ministry at Liveprayer. I received this email recently, “Pastor Bill, My wife and I have just sold our last rental and God told us to tithe $1,800.00 to pay for a day of your ministry. Not looking for accolades, just that you know when you receive the check. Rest assured that we will still be making our regular weekly tithes."

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 getting 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 means 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 night 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. Never 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 best, 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 this wonderful season of your life!!!
In His love and service,
Your friend and co-laborer in His work,
Bill Keller
