'Ishmael's Difficult Life.'
Genesis 16:12.
a) He shall be a wild man,
b) With his hand against everyone.
c) Every man's hand against him.
d) He shall live in the presence of his brethren, but not have good relationships with them.
(This QT reveals to me Ishmael's Difficult Life)
PRAYER: For difficult relationships in families and communities to be restored in a Godly way, pray for the fathers of families and communities to be instruments of restoration and reconciliation.

'Truly Our Helper.'
Romans 8:28.
a) Likewise the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness.
b) We do not know what we ought to pray for.
c) But the Spirit Himself
d) Intercedes for us,
e) With wordless groans.
(This Second one assures me that the Holy Spirit is Truly Our Helper)
PRAYER: Thank God that the Holy Spirit is Truly Our Helper.

One of the themes of God's Word that I delight in is the fact that God is a God of Restoration. There are times when we do not know how to Pray and at those times we read that the Holy Spirit is given to help us. We truly need the Presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives. If we are going to experience Godly restoration in some way, it is the Work of the Holy Spirit to help us.
