O Holy Spirit, please guide me as I read these passages for today. 
May these passages give me hope, strength, wisdom, courage and peace for my daily life 

In one place where there was no water
the people grumbled against Moses:
"Give us water to drink or else we will die."

Moses asked God for help
and God told Moses to strike a large rock with his staff.

When Moses did this, water flowed from the rock.

In another place the Israelites were attacked by the Amalekites.

Moses prayed while Joshua led the people in battle.

As long as Moses kept his arms raised up in prayer,
the Israelites were winning.

But when Moses let his arms down,
the Amalekites started winning.

So Aaron and Hur got Moses to sit on a rock
and they supported his hands until sunset.

Joshua and the people then won the battle.

Dear God, please help us understand the power of prayer

O Lord you have been our refuge 
from one generation to the next.

Before the earth or the world existed,
you are God, without beginning or end.

For you, a thousand years are like yesterday, 
come and gone so quickly.

We humans have a short life,
our life is over like a sigh.

Our span is 70 years,
or 80 for those who are strong.

Make us know the shortness of our life,
that we may gain wisdom of heart.

In the morning, fill us with your love.
Give success to the work of our hands.

Lord, help us realize the shortness of our life,  that we may live our lives more wisely

So remarkable were the miracles worked by God through Paul,
that even handkerchiefs which had touched him, were taken to the sick, 
and they were healed and evil spirits came out of them

Some believers admitted how they had practised magic.
They collected their expensive books on magic and burnt them in public

Things like these helped the word of the Lord to continue spreading

Jesus, what can I do to help your message spread?

On behalf of all the disciples, Peter asked Jesus
"What about us?  We have left everything to follow you."

Jesus replied "You will be leaders in the church on earth.

Also, anyone who has left home, family or country for the sake of my name,
will receive a 100-fold blessing in this life,
and will also receive eternal life in Heaven."

Jesus, please bless all Gospel workers
