Romans 12:17-21  Do not pay anyone back evil for evil. Focus on those things that everyone considers noble. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, maintain peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath. For it is written, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay,” says the Lord. But: If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink. For by doing this, you will…

Romans 5:9-11  Therefore, since we have now been justified by his blood, it is even more certain that we will be saved from God’s wrath through him. For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, it is even more certain that, since we have been reconciled, we will be saved by his life. And not only is this so, but we also go on rejoicing confidently in God through our Lord…

John 4:13-14 Jesus answered her, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I will give him will never be thirsty ever again. Rather, the water I will give him will become in him a spring of water, bubbling up to eternal life.” Dear Lord Jesus, Water is necessary for our bodies, so we need to rehydrate regularly. As you told the woman at the well, everyone who drinks that water will be thirsty…

1 Timothy 6:20-21 O Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you, turning away from godless, empty talk and the contradictions of what is falsely called “knowledge.” By professing it, some have veered away from the faith. Grace be with you. Amen. Dear Heavenly Father, Paul’s warning to Timothy is still appropriate today. People, using their logic and knowledge, attempt to outwit Your word. “Did God really say?” They turn to their and others’ opinions to justify their sins rather…

Isaiah 44:24-25 This is what the Lord, your Redeemer, the Lord who formed you from the womb, says. I am the Lord, the one who does all things, who stretched out the heavens by myself, who hammered out the earth. (Who was with me then?) I frustrate the signs of the deceivers and make fools of the fortune tellers. I overturn the wisdom of the wise and turn their knowledge into foolishness. Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for always staying true to Your word.…

Romans 8:28 We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose. Dear Heavenly Father, Forgive us when problems come our way here on earth, and we quickly forget these words from Paul. Often, we fail to remember You did not promise to keep every trouble from coming towards those who love You. We live in a world affected by people’s fall into sin, troubles come…

1 Corinthians 1: 7-9 As a result, you do not lack any gift as you eagerly wait for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ. He will also keep you strong until the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful, who called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord. Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for providing all we need to survive this life, waiting for Jesus’…

Ephesians 2:17-19 He also came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. For through him, we both have access to the Father by one Spirit. So then, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of God’s household. Dear Lord Jesus, You came to bring peace, but it is not as the world likes to envision it. They imagine peace will happen…

Romans 10:14-17 So then, how can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one about whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without a preacher? And how can they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news of peace, who preach the gospel of good things!” But not all obeyed the gospel. For…

Matthew 16:13-17 When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” They said, “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But you, who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for flesh and…
