One Year Bible: April 12th, 24:Embracing Weakness: The Unexpected Pathway to Divine Grace

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you.

TODAY'S EPISODE:

Welcome back to another contemplative episode of the Daily Radio Bible. Today, our host Hunter delves deep into the essence of our desires versus our needs, reflecting on the Apostle Paul's own struggle with what he termed the "thorn in the flesh." Hunter encourages us to examine our own desires—whether they pertain to comfort, recognition, or healing within our families—and juxtaposes them with Paul’s incessant pleading to God for relief from his own affliction. Hunter invites us to consider the possibility that there might be something we need that is far more critical than what we want, something epitomized by the divine response Paul received: the need for grace. From this, we're inspired to embrace our weaknesses as they lay the foundation for experiencing grace and God's love. Join us as we seek the wisdom, courage, and grace to accept what we truly need over what we might think we want, and as we extend that hopeful prayer to our loved ones and to each listener tuning in today. Stay with us for an enlightening journey through faith, desire, and divine grace on today’s episode of Daily Radio Bible.

TODAY'S PRAYERS:

Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.

Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. Amen

And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray...

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, they kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ. Amen.
