***ATTENTION HOTMAIL/MSN EMAIL HOLDERS! As you know, our techs have been in a battle with Microsoft for literally 23 years to simply deliver to our subscribers the Liveprayer Daily Devotional they signed up for. By God's grace and the efforts of our great tech team, over 97% of our Daily Devotionals to our Microsoft (Hotmail, MSN) subscribers have been delivered since we began in August of 1999. That battle has been popping up more frequently in the past couple of months, but know our techs are on it and will ultimately prevail with the Lord's help as they always have. Never forget, if it is not in your INBOX or SPAM/JUNK folder, you can read it on the Liveprayer.com homepage where it is posted each day at Midnight. This message is for all 2.5 million of our Daily Devotional subscribers whose email provider may try to block their Devotional (Funny how they never block porn, male enhancement products, or any number of other pure SPAM we all get daily!) Thanks for your patience and prayers. SATAN IS A LIAR AND A LOSER!
***DAILY PERSONAL PRAYER FOR YOU: Dear Lord, today we give thanks for and honor our fathers. We ask that You give Your strength to all of the dads out there to be the men of God You have called them to be in their homes. Our father is a type of You oh God. Our protector, our provider, our spiritual head. Guide each father today to rise up in these final days to take their stand for You as the head of their family. In the name of Jesus I pray...AMEN!
***THE DAILY LIVEPRAYER TV NUGGET: The last civil war that threatened to destroy our nation ended in 1865. Now, 157 years later we are embroiled in another civil war that could end the United States we have known and loved for the past 246 years! The first civil war was fought between the North and South over slavery. Our current civil war is being fought between the Red states who are defending our national identity and traditional values, and the Blue states who are being led by globalists who seek to erase our history and greatness to turn us into just another clump of land on the globe they control. Those are the stakes of what will be playing out over the coming weeks, months, and years my friend. Let me remind you of one critical fact. Despite our nation being torn apart during the first civil war that saw 600,000 lose their lives and millions injured and maimed, both the North and South had faith in God, went to church, and there is no doubt we survived the potential destruction of our nation because God still had plans for this country. Today, as we are now a post-Christian nation that has rejected God and His Truth, a church that has been greatly compromised and robbed of much of its' power and under God's judgement for the past 27 months, it will be the remnant who must lead our land to repentance and back to our Creator and Biblical Truth if we are to survive. PRAY MY FRIEND. PRAY!!!

Today is the day the world celebrates Father's Day. In our busy lives, it is good that we are forced to take a moment and recognize our dads. I had a wonderful father who unfortunately passed away when I was 16. Even though I missed sharing those young adult years with my dad, it was his love and nurturing in the early years of my life that helped build the spiritual foundation in my life. After praying about today's Devotional, the Lord has directed me to use it as a special encouragement to the dads out there.
How often do we take what dad does for granted? There are Godly men out there who are the spiritual heads of their homes. They work hard to provide the income needed to sustain day to day life. They love and honor their wife. They realize their children are gifts from God and help nurture and mold their lives. These dads realize that serving God is their divine purpose and being the head of their home is their first and most important ministry.
Today is a day to make sure dad knows just how much we love and appreciate him.
For those dads out there that are working hard to be the kind of dad I just described, know that you are in my prayers. Know that each day as you spend that special time alone with the Lord, He will encourage you, prepare you, and make you adequate for that day. You are on the path God wants you to be on as you strive each day to serve Him, making your wife and children your number one priorities. Balance is one of the biggest hurdles you face each day, and I pray the Lord will help you find that perfect balance between work, home, serving Him, and relaxing.
The other big hurdle is being able to give God control. Having so much responsibility each day, letting go and really trusting God at certain time is not easy. Just remember, in John 15:5 it says, "Without me you can do nothing." God has given you great talents, great gifts, but without the Lord's strength, and He being in charge, it won't make any difference. Make your faith real as you learn to trust Him more each day.
I recognize today that there are also many dads who aren't the kind of dad I described. Unless someone is totally committed and surrendered to the Lord, overseeing the responsibilities of marriage and children often suffer. Without the Lord leading your life, getting caught up in all of the traps of this world happen frequently, and life really never makes much sense. The importance of being a husband or a father, doesn't have the significance that it should. That is why so many men have left the home, abandoned their children, and continually are caught up in every kind of sin imaginable.
To those dads I want you to know that if you are tired of running from God, tired of the pain, tired of the heartache, tired of nothing working . . . this is the perfect day to turn it all around. Even though, this is a day we celebrate our earthly fathers, there is a Heavenly Father who loves you so much, and if you call out to Him, He will help you straighten your life out.
For those wives, ex-wives, and children of dads who haven't been the Godly dad the Bible talks of, pray for your dad. Know that deep down he is hurting, and only surrendering to Christ will change that. God loves your dad more than you do, and He is the one who can change your dad's heart. I'll pray with you for your dad.
I want you to know that I love you and do care about you. For you dads out there today, let me encourage you by telling you that if you keep Jesus first in your life, He will help you overcome the trials of this life, and allow you to see victories in every area of your life. In your marriage, in your children, in your career, in your service for Him, if you will simply trust Him and operate in His strength, you will know blessings and joy above and beyond anything you ever imagined.
Please know that I will be praying for you today, and if you need any special prayer to be the man, the husband, the father, the servant God has called you to be, please don't hesitate to email me at: bkeller@liveprayer.com. God has given us many great examples of how to be a true father. Follow Him each day and He will mold you and make you into the father He has raised you up to be.
In His love and service,
Your friend and brother in Christ,
Bill Keller
