ence. Pick one of the field personnel, church planters, chaplains or pastoral counselors listed below to pray for each day. They need to hear the “musical message of God,” too. As you hear a message of musical truth, then pray, “Lord, please give (add the name) this similar encouragement today.” Pray listening, pray singing. Pray in melody and harmony, in rhythm and rhyme. This musical prayer will stick with you; you’ll find yourself humming through the day. And, each day you’ll discover a new bit of musical truth to guide you. As the hymn writer penned, “Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, sweetest name I know. Fills my every longing, keeps me singing as I go.”
