Psalm 65:5-8 In righteousness you answer us with awesome deeds, O God who saves us. He is trusted by all the farthest ends of the earth and the sea. He establishes the mountains by his power. He has wrapped himself with strength. He stills the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the turmoil of the peoples. Those living at the ends of the earth fear your signs. From sunrise to sunset you let them shout for…

1 Timothy 2:5-6 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all, the testimony given at the proper time. Dear Lord Jesus, Thank you for mediating between the Father and us. What prompted you to save us? The Father is holy and perfect and cannot be in the presence of sin. From our perspective, we may consider ourselves fairly good, but nothing is commendable about…

Isaiah 40:31 But those who wait for the Lord will receive new strength. They will lift up their wings and soar like eagles. They will run and not become weary. They will walk and not become tired. Dear Heavenly Father, We have never been good at waiting; we become impatient and want what we desire right now.

Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you. Dear Heavenly Father, We need a place of refuge, and you are that refuge because we suffer from the effects of this sinful world and our sinful flesh. We deal with sickness and disease that attack us from within, not to mention the…

Luke 12:32 Do not be afraid, little flock, because your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom. Dear Heavenly Father, Jesus spoke these words to address worry. Our lives can be consumed by various circumstances: health issues, family problems, car breakdowns, clothing and food, or even the reports we see and hear in the news. But Jesus advised us not to worry or be afraid because life is not about material possessions.  While our concerns are genuine, you reassure…

Psalm 28:8-9 The Lord is their strength. He is a stronghold of salvation for his anointed king. Save your people, and bless the people that belong to you. Shepherd them, and carry them forever.

We often satisfy our sinful desires with things that seem appealing, but in the end, they lead…
