Galatians 1:3-5 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. He gave himself for our sins to rescue us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father—to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for your grace and peace. We are entirely undeserving of the love that you show to us. Lord, I often take your love for granted that this morning…

Psalm 32:10-11  Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but mercy will surround those who trust in the Lord. Rejoice in the Lord and celebrate, all you righteous, and shout joyfully, all you upright in heart. Dear Heavenly Father, As you are well aware, this earth lacks no sorrows, trials, or troubles; they seem to visit me regularly. However, Lord, I have you. Through the faith your Spirit established in me, I trust in your mercy—knowing that I will not receive what my sins deserve.…

Matthew 11:28-30  “Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Dear Lord Jesus, Your words bring us sinners so much comfort. This world’s pressures, troubles, commitments, and obligations, and let’s not forget the past mistakes and guilt,…

Psalm 32:1-2  How blessed is the person whose rebellion is forgiven, whose sin is covered. How blessed is the person whose guilt the Lord does not charge against him, in whose spirit there is no deceit. Dear Heavenly Father, We are blessed! Thank you for forgiving our rebellion—our sins. On our own, there is nothing we can do with our baggage of sin, this mountain of sin each of us drags. We cannot work our way out of them, nor comparing our pile of…

Today’s Daily Devotion is from Pastor Don Patterson of Austin, TX. 18 He replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19 I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. 20 However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.” – Luke 10:18-20   Dear Jesus,   It’s my nature to find my greatest joy in the things you allow me…

Psalm 78:1-4  Give ear, O my people, to my instruction. Turn your ear to the words of my mouth. I will open my mouth to share a lesson. I will speak about puzzling problems from long ago, things we have heard and known, things our fathers have told us. We will not hide them from their descendants. We will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power, and the wonders that he has done. Dear Heavenly Father, I love…

Psalm 28:7-9 The Lord is my strength and my shield. In him, my heart trusts, and I am helped. My heart also celebrates. With my song, I will give thanks to him. 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. Dear Heavenly Father, Our strength comes from you, just as David has said in this Psalm. It is not only this world…

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…

Malachi 2:10  Don’t we all have one Father? Hasn’t one God created us? Dear Heavenly Father, You have created every person. The devil wants to confuse the world, creating divisions, highlighting each other’s differences as evil, rather than seeing the uniqueness you made in each person. He tries to push any and every narrative that stirs up anger and resentment because of differences. He wants to cause chaos, whispering, “others are judging you because you are different.” Lord, you placed…

Matthew 28:20 [Jesus said] “And surely I am with you always until the end of the age.” Dear Lord Jesus, Your words give us great comfort that no matter where we are at, you are with us also. You spoke these words just before you ascended into heaven and departed this world; you gave your disciples instructions to go out into the world and share the gospel with others. Often this seems like a daunting task; we fear what people will…
