Hey there, this is Mary Demuth and this is Pray Every Day, where I have the joy and privilege of praying you through the Bible verse by verse on this fifth day of November.

I hope you're having an amazing day. I'm going to read another piece of feedback that I received as I was kind of battling through whether I will keep doing this ministry or not.

This one comes from Becky and she writes, Mary, thank you so much. You have just made

I hope you will continue this podcast. It's so good, and I do send it to many friends. I'm praying

for you every day when you pray for me. When you

pray for me, I am praying for you, Becky. Becky, thank you so much for praying for me. That means

the world to me. And as all of you out there understand, I truly do believe in the power of prayer.

So thank you and keep them coming.

The things that I have given them will pass away from them.

Why do we sit still?

Assemble yourselves.

Let's enter into the fortified cities and let's be silent there.

For Yahweh our God has put us to silence and given us poisoned water to drink

because we have sinned against Yahweh. We looked for peace but no good came, and for a time of healing

and behold, dismay. The snorting of his horses is heard from Dan. The whole land trembles at the

sound of the neighing of his strong ones. For they have come and have

devoured the land and all that is in it, the city and all those who dwell therein. For behold,
