One day a newbie manager told his boss that automating their tax calculation wasn’t a good idea because eventually the workers would forget how to calculate it manually. His boss replied “Well son, I don’t know how to crank start my car, either. Sometimes it’s just time to simplify a process.”

We have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will.

Colossians 1:9

Today’s world is complex—and as American culture moves away from traditional Christian values, there seems to be even more confusion and a spiritual battle on every front. At times it’s hard to discern how you should stand for your religious liberty…and it gets even more frustrating when your most sincere words or actions get twisted into something hateful or even illegal!

When you are unsure how to occupy your place in the world, apply today’s verse and pray passionately for Christ’s followers across the nation to be strengthened and filled with God’s knowledge and spirit. Culture war is complicated but God’s plan is simple – believers are to pray!
