Matthew 3:1-6 In those days, John the Baptist appeared, preaching in the wilderness of Judea and saying, “Repent, because the kingdom of heaven is near!” Yes, this is he of whom this was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: A voice of one crying out in the wilderness, “Prepare the way of the Lord. Make his paths straight.” John wore clothing made of camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey. Then Jerusalem, all…

Romans 13:11-12 And do this since you understand the present time. It is already the hour for you to wake up from sleep, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is almost over, and the day is drawing near. So let us put away the deeds of darkness and put on the weapons of light. Dear Heavenly Father, Looking around the world, many of the end times signs have been fulfilled, and each day…

Isaiah 61:1-3 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to preach good news to the afflicted. He sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release for those who are bound, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of vengeance for our God, to comfort all who mourn, to provide for those who mourn in Zion, to give them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy…

2 Timothy 3:14-17 As for you, continue in the things you have learned and about which you have become convinced. You know from whom you learned them and that from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God breathed and is useful for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, and for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be complete, well…

Mark 13:33-37 [Jesus said]  Watch! Be alert and pray, because you do not know when the time will come. It is like a man going away on a journey. When he left his home, he put his servants in charge and assigned what each one was to do. He also commanded the doorkeeper to keep watch. Therefore, keep watch, because you do not know when the owner of the house is coming: whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when…

Jeremiah 33:14-16 Listen, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will fulfill the good promises that I have spoken to the house of Israel and concerning the house of Judah. In those days and at that time, I will cause a righteous Branch to grow up from David’s line. He will establish justice and righteousness on earth. In those days, Judah will be saved, and Jerusalem will dwell securely. This is what she will be called: The Lord Our Righteousness. Dear Heavenly…

Hebrews 10:23-25 Let us hold on firmly to the confession of our hope without wavering, since he who promised is faithful. Let us also consider carefully how to spur each other on to love and good works. Let us not neglect meeting together, as some have the habit of doing. Rather, let us encourage each other, and all the more as you see the Day approaching. Dear Heavenly Father, Our hope is in Jesus; because he died and rose for all…

Revelation 1:7-8 Look, he is coming with clouds, and every eye will see him, including those who pierced him. And all the nations of the earth will mourn because of him. Yes. Amen. “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, the one who is, and who was, and who is coming, the Almighty.   Dear Lord Jesus,   You will come once again; you are the truth and the life. While many in the world want to…

Psalm 145:15-16 The eyes of all look eagerly to you, and you give them their food at the proper time. He opens his hand, and he satisfies the desire of every living thing. Dear Heavenly Father, This Thanksgiving, we say thank you, you provide the needs of all people, believers and unbelievers alike. You make the crops grow and cause the animals to fatten, providing us with our food. Lord, you open up your hand, providing all that we need. Especially…

1 Chronicles 16:23-27 Sing to the Lord, all the earth. Proclaim the good news of his salvation from day to day. Declare his glory among the nations, his wonderful acts among all the peoples, for great is the Lord and greatly to be praised. He is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the peoples are not gods at all. But the Lord made the heavens. Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and joy are in his place. Dear Heavenly Father, You are…
