Who is speaking in these verses?
David, Nathan, God
Do I have questions about the passage?
No
What seems to be the primary purpose of the prayer?
David is responding to God and praising Him for being so merciful to him and his family be exalting them.
Do any of these verses apply to a situation I am facing in my own life right now?
"For the sake of your word and according to your will, you have done this great thing and made it known to your servant." I love this because I forget sometimes what motivates God. God's glory motivates Him (and should motivate me), not money, time, energy or my willingness!
After reading these verses, do I feel like God wants me to do something?
Trust Him!!
Did I learn something?
I was reminded about God's plan for my life and that it doesn't always have to make sense to be a part of His plan!

Day 3 - Exodus 33
Who is speaking in these verses?
Moses, God, the people
Do I have questions? Are there things I don't understand?
Why did God say He wasn't going to go with them initially? Was this a "chicken 'n the egg" thing with Moses?
What seems to be the primary purpose of the prayer?
To intercede for the people
After reading these verses, do I feel like God wants me to do something?
Remember that the most awesome thing I had experience is God's glory!
Did I learn something?
Good reminder of what's important and SHOULD be my priority!

vs. 16 "by the power of Your arm, they will be as still as stone - until your people pass by... You will bring them in and plant them on the mountain of your inheritance." This verse reminds me of what God can do for His people, particularly when they don't feel like they can make things happen.

14 Days...Here we go with Genesis 18!
1. Who is speaking in these verses?
Abraham, Sarah, three visitors, the LORD.
2. Do I have questions about this passage? Are there things I don't understand?
The "three men" part seems weird. What was the purpose of them being there if God was going to talk to Abraham?
3. What seems to be the primary purpose of the prayer?
To ask God to show mercy to Sodom.
4. Do any of these verses apply to a situation I am facing in my own life right now?
YES! I am totally struggling with believing that God can do what He said He would do. I am lacking faith - and I'm not even CLOSE to how old Sarah was at this time! God can do what He says He will do...is anything too hard for Him?
5. After reading these verses, do I feel like God wants me to do something (i.e. thank Him for something, confess a sin, pray for someone else, memorize one of these verses, do something, etc.)? What is it?
Remember that nothing is too hard for God!!
6. Did I learn something? What did I learn about God, prayer, or anything else by reading this passage?
God is faithful to do what he says He will do. He is also merciful.
Abraham, Sarah, three visitors, the LORD.
