So before we get started, we need to pray for John Pedro. I talked with him. Actually, he and

Sandy were here earlier, but he is asking us to pray for him for sleep. He hasn't slept in three

days, I think two hours in three days so uh he went in uh to another doctor today

and we're hoping and uh certainly needing to pray that he's able uh to sleep very important and so he's not here tonight. He usually serves there in the

audio video booth. For those of you online, we wanted you also to be included in this. As the

Lord puts it on your heart, if you would please pray for Brother John.

And so if you would join with me, let's go to the throne and pray for him now.

Loving Heavenly Father, we're so thankful to you that we can pray, that we can petition your throne,

that we can come to you at any time about anything and ask you for help.

And so tonight, Lord, we're coming to you on behalf of our brother John who

just really needs to sleep. He really needs your help Lord and he needs that deep restorative

sleep. And or would you grant him that grace? Would you give him that sleep tonight that he'll sleep through the night and be refreshed

in the morning and get his circadian rhythms and his body clock back on track and be able to sleep.

And Lord, I pray that you'll give the doctors as well.

Just wisdom from above, supernaturally so.

Especially as it relates to any potential for a sleep study

so they can diagnose what it is, whether it be sleep apnea or whatever the case may be,

Lord, would you just grant our brother this grace, we pray. Lord, tonight as we're in the book of

Proverbs, so looking forward to what you have for us tonight and we want to have ears to hear.

And we want the hearing of your word, the teaching of your word to be mixed, combined with faith

so that it produces something in our lives.

So we're not just hearers of your word that we walk away from this Bible study tonight.
