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 go through our days and think we got this. Things have been busy, but we have all our plates spinning. Then someone sends us an email, or we get a couple of phone calls about things that we have to do, and…

Jeremiah 6:16 This is what the Lord says. Stand at the crossroads and look. Ask about the ancient paths. Ask where the good road is. Walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. Dear Heavenly Father, What is the ancient path, and where is the good road? The ancient path is to revere and be in fellowship with you. The good road is to love you and those around us. You had Jeremiah write this when the leadership of Judah…

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, Thank you for this Psalm because it demonstrates the magnitude of your love for us. When we consider the power of…

1 Timothy 6:11-12  But you, O man of God, flee from these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness. Fight the good fight of faith. Take hold of eternal life, to which you were called and about which you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses. Dear Heavenly Father, Here in this passage to Timothy, Paul is speaking to the believers. Through fruits of our faith, you would have us do what is right…

Psalm 146:3-6  Do not trust in human helpers, in a mortal man who cannot save you.  His spirit departs. He returns to the ground he came from. On that day, his plans have perished. Blessed is everyone who has the God of Jacob as his help. His hope is in the Lord his God, the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything which is in them. He is the one who stays faithful forever. Dear Heavenly Father, Today, we pray that…

1 Corinthians 1:9 God is faithful, who called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord. Dear Heavenly Father, Even when we are unfaithful, you always remain faithful. Our sinful nature is always trying to pull us away from you, and when we give in to those desires, we are unfaithful. Still, you remain faithful to us. You knew us before we were even conceived; you knew how we would chase after the desires of our hearts more…

1 John 4:12-15 No one has ever seen God. If we love one another, God remains in us, and his love has been brought to its goal in us. This is how we know that we remain in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. We have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. If anyone confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him…

Colossians 3:12 – 15 Therefore, as God’s elect, holy and loved, clothe yourselves with heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Bear with one another and forgive each other if anyone has a complaint against anyone else. Forgive, just as Christ forgave you. And, in addition to all these things, put on love, which ties things together in perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ control your hearts, to which you were also called, in one body. And be thankful. Dear…

Hebrews 13:14 For we do not have a permanent city here, but we are looking for the city that is coming. Dear Heavenly Father, We have been placed on this earth to wander here until our time is ended, but our wandering is not pointless. We have been given three tasks, one you would have all people be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth. So, this is step one; we must come to know you. Your Spirit…

Proverbs 16:9  A person’s heart plans his way, but the Lord makes his steps secure. Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for this reminder that you have given us the freedom to make our own decision about what we would like to do. We have the freedom to make plans, to decide what we will do in our lives and where we will do from day to day. You watch over those plans we make; some you allow to be blessed while others you…
