1 Timothy 2:1-4 First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all those who are in authority, in order that we might live a quiet and peaceful life in all godliness and dignity. This is good and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. Dear Heavenly Father, With all that is…
1 Corinthians 1:22-25 Yes, Jews ask for signs, Greeks desire wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified—which is offensive to Jews and foolishness to Greeks, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God. We preach Christ crucified because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. Dear Heavenly Father, Not much has changed since Paul’s time. To talk about…

Revelation 1:8 “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 Heavenly Father, Your word brings us comfort today. As we see the challenges of how sin plagues the world around us, only you can give us comfort. At first glance, the world may seem as though evil is gaining the upper hand. Lord, we know this simply is not true. When we step away…

Psalm 118:24 This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it. Dear Heavenly Father, Each day is a gift from you. We have another day of grace that we spend watching the works of your hands in our lives. You are so consistent in what you do that we expect everything to happen as it has in the last moments. But every moment is a blessing for us. You have given us more time to spend…

Acts 4:11-12 “This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you builders, which has become the cornerstone. There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to people by which we must be saved.” Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for giving us your Son as the rock of perfection, which became the cornerstone of your church; he is our rock and our redeemer. All the world was dead in their sins and…

Today’s Daily Devotion is brought to you by my friend and fellow Pastor Don Patterson from Austin, Tx. Daily Prayer Tuesday, August 31, 2021 7 But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. 8 When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment: 9 about sin, because…

Luke 15:8-10 [Jesus said] “Or what woman who has ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, would not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it? And when she finds it, she calls together her friends and neighbors and says, ‘Rejoice with me, because I have found the lost coin.’ In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” Dear…

Hebrews 1:1-2 In the past, God spoke to our forefathers by the prophets at many times and in many ways. In these last days, he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for giving us your word; it is not something to be taken lightly. You chose to record your history, instructions, and prayers with your people through the written message…

Psalm 19:7-11 The law of the Lord is perfect. It revives the soul. The testimony of the Lord is trustworthy. It gives wisdom to the inexperienced. The precepts of the Lord are right. They give joy to the heart. The commandment of the Lord is bright. It gives light to the eyes. The fear of the Lord is pure. It stands forever. The just decrees of the Lord are truth. They are altogether righteous. They are more desirable than gold, even better than much pure gold. They are sweeter than honey, even honey dripping from…

Psalm 46:1-3 God is our refuge and strength, a helper who can always be found in times of trouble. That is why we will not fear when the earth dissolves and when the mountains tumble into the heart of the sea. Its waters roar and foam. The mountains quake when it rises. Dear Heavenly Father, It is no secret we live in uncertain and troubled times. The world’s tension seems like a sealed pressure cooker that at any moment could explode. In this…
