Yet when we look at the big picture of life, we have…

2 Timothy 2:11-13  This saying is trustworthy: Indeed, if we have died with him, we will also live with him; If we endure, we will also reign with him; If we deny him, he will also deny us; If we are faithless, he remains faithful, because he cannot deny himself. Dear Lord Jesus, If we have died with you, you have also promised that we will live with you, going to heaven and reigning alongside you in your heavenly kingdom.…

Psalm 30:4-5 Make music to the Lord, you his favored ones, and give thanks when you remember his holiness, for we spend a moment under his anger, but we enjoy a lifetime in his favor. In the evening, weeping comes to stay through the night, but in the morning, there is rejoicing! Dear Heavenly Father, Let us sing and make music to rejoice in the peace You have brought us. When our first parents fell into sin, each person was condemned…

Proverbs 19:20-21 Listen to advice and accept discipline, so that you will be wise in the future. There are many plans in a man’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that will prevail. Dear Heavenly Father, It is often hard to listen to advice and receive discipline because we like to think we have it all together. We look in the mirror with pride and imagine ourselves as being deserving. Forgive us when our pride gets in the way; humble…

Isaiah 55:10-11 Just as the rain and the snow come down from the sky and do not return there unless they first water the earth, make it give birth, and cause it to sprout, so that it gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater, in the same way my word that goes out from my mouth will not return to me empty. Rather, it will accomplish whatever I please, and it will succeed in the purpose for…

1 Peter 1:13-16 Therefore, after preparing your minds for action by exercising self-control, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed. As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. Rather, just as the one who called you is holy, so also be holy in everything you do. For it is written, “Be holy, because I am holy.” Dear Heavenly Father, We…

Psalm 27:13-14 Unless I was confident to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living—Wait for the Lord. Be strong and, take heart, and wait for the Lord! Dear Heavenly Father, We remember David’s trials and troubles recorded throughout his life, and our challenges seem pale compared to his, but our problems are just as real as his. We struggle! If our problems are not from outside us, we have other issues that come from inside us, like sickness,…

Psalm 90:1-2 Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations. Before the mountains were born, before you gave birth to the earth and the world, from eternity to eternity you are God. Dear Heavenly Father, We have been placed into this world during a specific period and live in a particular place; every person is equal yet diverse. Sin affects us all in that we get frustrated with the places we reside. We are all equal, and we…

Psalm 103:11-13 Yes, as high as the heavens are above the earth, so powerful is his mercy toward those who fear him. As distant as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our rebellious acts from us. As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him. Dear Heavenly Father, Looking into space, the end seems limitless, and this is the example we hear of your mercy towards those who…
