It's day 16 of Heartdive 365. I'm your Bible study friend Kenoy. Welcome to the Hard Dive podcast.

Well, if you are studying with us in real time today, I'm doing a 24-hour fast if anybody wants to join me. So if you have any prayer requests, go ahead and let me know in the comments below. I've also left a couple of links about fasting because I'm not going to talk about it here. But if you want to read up on fasting, what that entails what it is and how to do it biblically, you can find those links in the description box. But every now and then, whenever you wake up to heavy news, sometimes all you can do is pray.

And so I just decided to do that. So again, if you want to join me, I am here praying with you,

praying for you as I devote this day to fasting. We are back in the book of Genesis. Everybody's

like, yes, hallelujah, where we are now going full steam ahead with the promise of a new nation and a new people,

namely Israel and the Hebrews.

And it couldn't come at a better time because I don't know about you, but I am ready just to move forward.

It is a new day, a new beginning, new mercies.

And if you are on that train with me saying, we ain't got time for nonsense. Let's go.

Then will you hit that like button like it's a reset button? We are resetting today. We are staying

focused on the word and on God's purposes. And everybody shout and amen. Put it in the

comments if you're in agreement with that because we know what the enemy is trying to do here.

We ain't having it. So let's pray. Let's get into the word. Dear Heavenly Father, thank you so much for who you are, for being such a good father, for being our good friend, for being our counselor, our comforter, for being our healer. You are the great I am. You are every answer. You are every need. So I just pray, Lord, as we lay everything

before you today, our worries, our anxieties, anything that is weighing heavily on our heart

today, our prayer request, things that we're asking and hoping for. We just place them at your

feet today, Lord, so that we can clear out ourselves of ourselves and give you room to come in

and do your thing. We need you to do that, Lord, today. And so I just pray that you please forgive us

where we have fallen short, where we have hurt someone, where we have done anything that grieved

your heart, Lord, will you please forgive us? I pray that you will call it to memory if we don't even

know what we may have done and help us to reconcile, to make things right. And I come against the enemy and trying to pervert that, trying to make what is a good thing, like seeking forgiveness, asking for grace, being kind, and trying to pervert it and twist it in people's minds, making it look like it's a bad thing. It isn't a bad thing.

It isn't a waste of time. It is worth it to be able to do that. So help us to make things right. Help us to move forward to not stay stuck in the past or even stuck in the middle. And I just pray, Lord, that this will indeed be a new beginning for all of us. I pray for unity in this group, God, where the enemy is trying to come in, steal, kill, and destroy.

We come again. indeed be a new beginning for all of us. I pray for unity in this group, God, where the enemy is
