Revelation 3:11 [Jesus said] I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have so that no one takes your crown. Dear Lord Jesus, What a beautiful promise you have given us! We have been blessed with your grace and mercy. This gift is given to us through faith in you by your Spirit. Through the forgiveness of sins, you delivered our crowns and made us heirs to heaven. A gift you won for us by your perfect life and innocent…

2 Peter 1:19-21 We also have the completely reliable prophetic word. You do well to pay attention to it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the Morning Star rises in your hearts, since we know this above all else: No prophecy of Scripture comes about from someone’s own interpretation. In fact, no prophecy ever came by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were being carried along by…

Colossians 3:16-17 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, with gratitude in your hearts to God. And everything you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Dear Heavenly Father, You know on my own, I can do nothing, except through the words of Christ, who…

Ephesians 6:13-18 For this reason, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to take a stand on the evil day and, after you have done everything, to stand. Stand, then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness fastened in place, and with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace tied to your feet like sandals. At all times, hold up the shield of faith, with…

2 Corinthians 5:14-15  For the love of Christ compels us, because we came to this conclusion: One died for all; therefore, all died. And he died for all, so that those who live would no longer live for themselves but for him, who died in their place and was raised again. Dear Lord Jesus, It is all because of your love that believers do what they do. If we were left on our own without Christ’s death, nothing in us…

Galatians 5:1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not allow anyone to put the yoke of slavery on you again. Dear Lord Jesus, You freed us from the sins that had enslaved us; our lot was hell and eternal death. We were enslaved to sin; there was nothing we could do to remove those shackles that had us bound to our suffering. But you came to this earth to be like…

Matthew 16:13-18  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 blood…

Colossians 1:11-14 You are being strengthened with all power because of his glorious might working in you. Then you will have complete endurance and patience, joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light. The Father rescued us from the domain of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you…

1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, the people who are God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Dear Lord Jesus, You have called us as your people; we are your chosen people through faith created in us by the Holy Spirit. Set apart from the rest of the world that does not believe in you. Peter…

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, You encourage us, who are your favored ones, to sing and make a joyful noise to you today. Even in loss, we can still give you thanks.…
