Hey there, this is Mary Demuth, and this is Pray Every Day, where I pray you through the Bible verse by verse.

Hope you're having an amazing day.

Happy day after Thanksgiving.

Hopefully your tummy is full, and you have had good time to be grateful and express gratitude among your friends and family.

Today I'm reading from a letter written by Doug, and it says this, I listen to pray every day well every day.

This week you asked listeners, for our opinion, if you should continue the podcast, and it's been seven years.

The question prompted me to think about it and why you'd asked this, and I then looked at your story from your website.

I read the hurt and your personal story,

and it made me hurt. I'm sorry you experienced those childhood traumas. I am so sorry. You have sought God your entire life more consciously than most. You are doing what he called you to do,

but you are tired, but he hasn't called you to stop doing this reading. If he had, you wouldn't

have to ask your listeners what to do, you would know. I have personally dep't called you to stop doing this reading. If he had, you wouldn't have to ask your

listeners what to do, you would know. I have personally depended on your read to help me through the last

year and a half. I feel very alone and don't have the energy to read and frankly don't know where to

start and I'm a bit lazy. I've asked people to start a prayer group in my area, but crickets.

I've been in and out of church involvement. Your prayers are one of the consistent things I have.

You're one of the first voices I hear every single day. I agree with your prayers in Jesus' name.

I enjoy some books more than others, but get some lessons from each. Your podcast personally

benefits me. The word as you read it feeds me. I know you're

tired. You're upset with something. Mary, I am too. In many ways, I flail. You seem to be doing that too.

Keep focused. A preacher I listened to said when God is quiet, you don't know what to do the next step,

just keep doing the next last thing he told you to do.

That's the direction. Keep doing what God told you to do, Mary. It's important to many of us.
