Pray the Word:

Lord, side by side with Your gift of precious promises, blessings & privileges;  we are to do our part by being diligent in our faith to apply ourselves to developing good character. I want to develop the COURAGE of DAVID; the KNOWLEDGE of SOLOMON;  the PATIENCE of JOB; the GODLINESS of DANIEL; the BROTHERLY KINDNESS of JONATHAN; and the LOVE of JOHN. Whew . . .  that’s a lot to go for – but, that ‘s my goal!
