DAILY DEVOTIONAL SATURDAY AUGUST 1, 2026
(Proverbs 12:15)
***Personal Message For You From Bill Keller***
Thank God today for the gifts and talents He has blessed you with.
I need your help today! Thank you to those who were able to help me with a gift during July! Over July we finally covered the balance of our May operations and received the first $5,000 of our June ministry operations. We ended July requiring the final $50,000 from June and the $55,000 for July’s operations. I am praying in the first weeks of August we can cover that $105,000 shortfall so we can begin working on the $55,000 we will require during our anniversary month of August. Traditionally each year we struggle during the summer months of June, July, and August, so I can really use your help especially in this first week of August with that $105,000 getting seriously past due! OUR GOD IS ABLE!!!
*27TH ANNIVERSARY MONTH! As we head into August, our 27h anniversary month, please pray about helping me with a special one-time gift of $27, $1 for every year, or $270, $10 for every year, or $2,700, $100 for every year, or $27,000, $1,000 for every year.

***Prayer***
Dear Lord, please help me to be the person You want me to be for You today. Help me focus each day on doing my best to follow Your Word and to live my life in a way that is pleasing and acceptable to You. Each day I have many opportunities to obey You or rebel against You. Even in the smallest of things, give me the strength to faithfully follow You and honor You with my life. In the name of Jesus I pray...AMEN!!!

***August Financial Update***
Thank you to those who were able to help me with a gift during July! Over July we finally covered the balance of our May operations and received the first $5,000 of our June ministry operations. We ended July requiring the final $50,000 from June and the $55,000 for July’s operations. I am praying in the first weeks of August we can cover that $105,000 shortfall so we can begin working on the $55,000 we will require during our anniversary month of August. Traditionally each year we struggle during the summer months of June, July, and August, so I can really use your help especially in this first week of August with that $105,000 getting seriously past due! OUR GOD IS ABLE!!!
*27TH ANNIVERSARY MONTH! As we head into August, our 27th anniversary month, please pray about helping me with a special one-time gift of $27, $1 for every year, or $270, $10 for every year, or $2,700, $100 for every year, or $27,000, $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."

*By the way I have been seeking the Lord since the start of this year for God to lead someone He has blessed richly to make a legacy gift of $15,000,000 to Liveprayer. That would insure that when God decides to call me home Liveprayer will continue to impact lives and lead lost souls to faith in Jesus for a minimum of 20 years. Please stand in agreement with me for the Lord to raise up that person!
*Live on after you are in Heaven!!! By remembering God's work here at Liveprayer in your will/estate planning, you can still help me share His Truth with the masses, be here for people in their time of greatest need, and help lead the lost to faith in Jesus even after God has called you home!!! God has led many of our friends in the Liveprayer family to remember His work here in their will. Please pray about this opportunity to continue and partner with me in the Lord's work at Liveprayer, even after you are enjoying your rewards and the eternal peace of Heaven!

Wise counsel! I am totally convinced that some of the problems I have had in my life, have been a result of not seeking any other counsel than my own. Let me promise you my friend, that is a disaster waiting to happen. I have not only become a believer, but advocate of God's principle of getting counsel as we make various moves in our life.
Beyond that type of Godly counsel in helping us make decisions, there is the more intimate clinical type of counseling, and that is what I want to focus on today. So many have been born into incredibly challenging circumstances and experienced many difficulties in their early life that have had a lasting affect into their adult life.
Many in their adult life have been through circumstances that have pushed them to the limits of their ability to cope with day-to-day life. Many are born with chemical imbalances that affect their decision-making ability and just coping with life in general.
I believe in my heart that God has placed specially-gifted people in the Body of Christ to help and work intimately with those who have very real problems in their life!!!
As in any situation we face in our life, the first step is admitting that there are things in our life out of our control and ability to deal with on our own. At these times, we should not be ashamed but aggressively seek out Godly men and women who are professionals and use Biblically-based principles in their counseling work.
I AM NOT in favor of secular counseling for the simple fact that God made us, and our only way of resolving our problems are through His Word and strength. I am in no way condemning secular counselors, because they have a difficult job that helps many people get through life. But as in anything in life, the ultimate answers have to be rooted and grounded in our faith and in God's Word. Anything else is at best a temporary solution.
Over my 34 years in full-time ministry, I have counseled people for about every problem you can imagine, although my counsel was always of a spiritual nature. Once I became aware that there were much deeper issues involved, I never hesitated to refer the person to a professional counselor that could not only offer the deeper professional help the person needed, but it also had to be from a Godly and Biblical perspective!
I realize that I am hitting very close to home for many of you today. For those who are not in a situation where you need this type of help, praise God. Do me a favor, and pray for those who are. Many of our brothers and sisters in Christ face many difficult issues each day of their life. They need our prayers and support to help them get beyond the issues they face in their life, so that they can be the best servants during this lifetime they possibly can.
For those of you that are dealing with some deep issues in your life, let me encourage you today...it is all right. Many things were totally out of your control and not your fault. God loves you, He cares about you, and He has placed Godly men and women in the Body of Christ to help you overcome whatever the issues may be.
Take this opportunity right now to ask God to give you the strength to admit there are unresolved issues that you just can't overcome on your own, and that He will open up the doors for you to get the professional counseling you need to help you get beyond those issues and live that victorious life He intends His children to live!!!
I love you, I care about you deeply, and this is God talking to you today to lay aside your pride and seek out the help you need to overcome the stumbling blocks in your life that keep you from having the peace and joy that He intends for you to have. As I mentioned, God has placed many gifted and wonderful men and women in the body of Christ to help people looking for Godly, Biblically- based counseling.
Ask your pastor to recommend someone for you, or check with one of the larger churches in your area and tell them that you are looking for a Christian counselor. Make sure you set up an introductory meeting which is almost always free of charge. In that meeting, find out if that person is a member of a local church, is saved, and uses Biblically-based counseling methods. Don't beat around the bush, ask these questions straight out. You need to insure you are in fact dealing with a Christian counselor that is going to be truly helping you overcome the issues in your life!
I will be in much prayer today for those of you who needed to hear these words of encouragement today. I realize that these can be deeply personal and difficult issues to deal with. My only desire is to see you become all that God has raised you up to be and know the incredible abundance this life can offer. There are many who have major issues in their life that are keeping that from happening, and I want you to know that there are answers.
You don't have to go through the rest of your life with that dark cloud hanging over you. You don't have to go through another day without the joy God intends for you to have. God loves you and has placed help in your path today to overcome those issues and know the fullness of His blessings. My prayer is that you pray, open your heart, and let God walk with you, putting those issues to bed once and for all that are robbing you of knowing the peace, joy, and fullness of His love!!!
In His love and service,
Your friend and brother in Christ,
Bill Keller
