I haven’t checked in with you lately! How are you doing? Are you sticking with a daily routine when it comes to your Bible-reading time? Are you having to play catch up sometimes?
I would love to have answers to these questions. You see, I pray for you. I pray that you will continually be drawn to the word.
Psalm 42, verses 1 & 2 says, “As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?
The translation the New International Version because I like the way it uses the word “pants”…it’s such a great word picture, isn’t it?
It is my hope that we all chase after His word in the same way that thirst drives us to water. That drive is never interrupted by distractions. When we’re hungry or thirsty, there is only one thing on our mind and only one thing will satisfy.
Please let me know on Facebook or on the website how I can pray for you in other ways.
By the way, you may want to read all eleven verses of Psalm 42. It’s hauntingly beautiful and deeply intimate.

Good Morning Joy, I look forward every morning to your podcast. I know you remember my daughter Laura Wilcoxson, She told me about you podcast a while back and I have been tuning in each morning since. Thank you for the time you spend bringing these to us.
I think I have only gotten behind one time, I made it up the next day.
I do have a prayer request this morning, My great Grandson’s wife went into the hospital yesterday morning to be induced, seems she is having a tough time. Please pray for hr and the baby that they will be ok. Thank you Joy, and may God Bless you.
good
Joy
Oh, Barbara! How sweet of you to write such an encouraging note. And I’m so proud of your diligence. Keep up the good work…I know that God is pleased with you. Let’s pray right now for Tony and his wife and that new little baby: Father God, thank You so much for this precious family who has blessed me since I met them. But they need You in a special way right now. We pray Your hand of protection on this new mom-to-be and baby boy. We pray that You would calm all fears and cause each of them to know that You are near and in control. We love You and praise You. In Jesus Name, Amen. Please let me know how it all goes, Barbara, and let Tony know how proud I am of the man he has grown into. Say hi to Tom and Laura for me.
