BASIC SCRIPTURES: GENESIS 15: 1-18; JEREMIAH 32: 27
Genesis 15:1-18 (KJV):
- After these things the word of the Lord came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.
- And Abram said, Lord God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?
- And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.
- And, behold, the word of the Lord came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.
- And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.
- And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
- And he said unto him, I am the Lord that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.
- And he said, Lord God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?
- And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.
- And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not.
- And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away.
- And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.
- And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
- And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
- And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
- But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.
- And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.
Jeremiah 32:27 (KJV): 27. Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?

Prayer for Daily Manna – October 13, 2023
Heavenly Father, we come before Your presence with gratitude and thanksgiving, acknowledging that You are the Almighty God, the Creator of heaven and earth, and there is nothing too hard for You. We stand on the promises of Your Word found in Genesis 15:1-18 and Jeremiah 32:27:
In Genesis 15, You assured Abraham that You are his shield and exceedingly great reward. Lord, we thank You for being our shield and our reward. We trust in Your promises of protection, provision, and blessings in our lives and the lives of our loved ones.
Jeremiah 32:27 declares that “Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for me?” Heavenly Father, we declare that there is nothing too hard for You. You are the God of the impossible, and we bring our needs and concerns before You with confidence, knowing that You can do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think.
As we approach this day, October 13, 2023, we surrender our plans, hopes, and desires into Your capable hands. We ask for Your guidance, wisdom, and direction in all that we do. May Your will be done in our lives today and always.
We pray for the provision of our daily needs, both physical and spiritual. Provide for our families, our health, our finances, and our relationships. Grant us the strength and grace to overcome challenges and walk in the path You have set before us.
Lord, we also intercede for those in need, for our communities, and for the world at large. May Your mercy and grace be poured out on all who are hurting and in despair.
Thank You, Father, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your faithfulness and Your unfailing love. In the name of Jesus, our Savior, we pray. Amen.
