Matthew 12:40 [Jesus said] For just as Jonah was in the belly of the huge fish for three days and three nights, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. Dear Lord Jesus, Then Your body rested. As with the creation of the world, Your salvational work was done. Your body born of Mary was placed in a tomb, and scripture was fulfilled—Your Words were accomplished, and Your work complete.…

John 19:30 When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, “It is finished!” Then, bowing his head, he gave up his spirit. Dear Lord Jesus, These words You spoke from the cross must be some of the most significant words we sinners can hear. As You were placed upon the cross, Your first words were, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing!” Our sins put You on the cross; You asked for our forgiveness.…

1 Corinthians 11:23-26 For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night when he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, after the meal, he also took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new testament in my blood. Do this, as often as you…

Mark 14:3-9 While Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he was reclining at the table, a woman came with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, made from pure nard. She broke the alabaster jar and poured it over his head. But there were some who were indignant and said to one another, “Why has this perfume been wasted? Certainly this perfume could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given…

Matthew 21:18-22 As he returned to the city early in the morning, he was hungry. Seeing a fig tree by the road, he went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. He said to it, “May there never be fruit from you again!” Immediately the fig tree withered away. When the disciples saw it, they were amazed and asked, “How did the fig tree wither so quickly?” Jesus answered them, “Amen I tell you: If you have…

Matthew 21:12-17  Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all those who were selling and buying in the temple. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling doves. He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’ but you are making it a den of robbers!” The blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them. But when the…

Jeremiah 6:16 This is what the Lord says. Stand at the crossroads and look. Ask about the ancient paths. Ask where the good road is. Walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. Dear Heavenly Father, Please tell us about the ancient paths today. Where is the good road? Does it begin with Adam and Eve when you had placed them in the garden? Perhaps the path led through Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Were the ancient paths the ones…

Psalm 118:24 This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it. Dear Heavenly Father, Each day is a gift from you, and today is another day of grace that we get to spend watching the works of your hands in our lives. Thank You for keeping and sustaining our planet, watching over all people, and providing all that we need in this life and, more importantly, in eternal life. You are consistent in everything you do,…

2 Corinthians 12:9  And he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, because my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, I will be glad to boast all the more in my weaknesses so that the power of Christ may shelter me. Dear Heavenly Father, When things don’t go as planned, we become frustrated and cranky because we feel weak. When things come at us that are out of our control, and it seems we have nowhere to…

Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I am now living in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Dear Heavenly Father, As believers, we now live by faith in Jesus, Your Son, and our Savior. Every day is a battle between our sinful selves, wanting to chase after the world’s desires or satisfying our…
