This morning I began praying the Model Prayer and wrote out my specific praise and requests under each heading. I hope this encourages you as you grow in your prayer life. Isn’t it wonderful that God continues to reveal Himself to us?!

Convicted by the Verse of the Day

Of course I know the Model Prayer (AKA Lord’s Prayer) in Matthew 6. I’ve known it for over 50 years! But in an effort to not pray rote prayers with no comprehension of what I’m really praying, I have resisted praying it regularly.

So when verse 10, asking God’s kingdom to come and His will be done on earth as it is in heaven was today’s YouVersion verse of the day, I was convicted - prompting a sincere prayer asking for guidance on how to seek His kingdom.

Why do you worship God? While we are thankful for what God has done for us, we should worship Him for WHO He is. When I focus on Him, I am overwhelmed by His character. I captured some thoughts early one morning, so I invite you to worship with me.

Even if life is in a pretty good spot for you right now, I feel confident that concerns and burdens threaten to steal some of your peace and the joy it brings. I invite you to pray with me to the One able to give us true, abiding Peace.

Holiness is fundamental to who God is. But do we even know what being holy means? Join me for a quick look at what the Word says about His holiness and what it means for us.

Meet Beth

Beth was blessed to be raised by parents who taught their children to love the Lord. She trusted in Christ for salvation and followed in believer’s baptism when she was eight years old.

Beth thanks the Lord for leading her parents to First Baptist Church in Jefferson City, Missouri, where the youth choir practiced and sang in the 8:15 am Sunday service each week. This was great preparation for understanding the joy and the responsibility of serving Christ’s church.

Throughout her adult life, Beth has served in many roles across various church ministries – most of them while working full-time. Her favorite roles involve discipling women by studying and teaching the Bible and its power for our lives.

She has taught an adult Sunday School class on Sunday mornings since 2010. In addition, since 2021, she has enjoyed writing and teaching two Women’s Bible studies each year. She also blogs at bethipock.com about discipleship and daily Christian living. She recently had an article published at thegospelcoalition.org.

Other church roles include co-directing VBS, singing in the choir, chairing the personnel committee, and filling in at the piano when needed.

Beth and her husband, Ellis, have five grown children, three daughters-in-love, 16 grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.
