Isaiah 12:1-2 In that day, you will say: I will give thanks to you, Lord, for though you were angry with me, your anger has turned away, and you comfort me. Surely God is my salvation. I will trust him and will not be afraid, because Yah, the Lord, is my strength and song, and he has become my salvation. Dear Heavenly Father, We thank you for all the blessings you have provided us. You have diverted your just and righteous anger from us…

Matthew 28:20 [Jesus said] “Surely I am with you always until the end of the age.” Dear Lord Jesus, As we come to the end of another year, we thank you for this reminder. With all that happens in our lives, being separated from family members, sickness, diseases, conflicts, and then there is the national and global stuff, we can start to feel lonely and depressed. You have given us this promise to be with us until time ends. So…

Isaiah 60:1-3 Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord is dawning upon you. Look, darkness covers the earth, and deep darkness covers the peoples, but the Lord will dawn upon you, and his glory will be seen over you. Nations will walk to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn. Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for sending us the light of the world. Sin shrouds us in darkness; without you, there is no light. As Isaiah wrote, “darkness…

Galatians 4:4-7 But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son to be born of a woman, so that he would be born under the law, in order to redeem those under the law, so that we would be adopted as sons. And because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts to shout, “Abba, Father!” So you are no longer a slave, but a son. And if you are a son,…

Titus 2:11-14 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people. It trains us to reject ungodliness and worldly lusts and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope, that is, the glorious appearance of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ. He gave himself for us, to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people who are his own chosen people, eager…

Luke 2:6-14 And so it was that while they were there, the time came for her to give birth. And she gave birth to her firstborn son, wrapped him in swaddling cloths, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. There were in the same country shepherds staying out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord…

Matthew 1:18-25 This is how the birth of Jesus Christ took place. His mother, Mary, was pledged in marriage to Joseph. Before they came together, she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit. Joseph, her husband, was a righteous man and did not want to disgrace her. So he decided to divorce her privately. But as he was considering these things, an angel of the Lord suddenly appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son…

John 1:14 The Word became flesh and dwelled among us. We have seen his glory, the glory he has as the only-begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. Dear Lord Jesus, You are God and became a person to save us from all our sins. As you said during your ministry, you and the Father are one; his thoughts are your thoughts, and his ways are your ways. The idea of you being God and walking this earth with…

John 1:1-5 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him, everything was made, and without him, not one thing was made that has been made. In him was life, and the life was the light of mankind. The light is shining in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. Dear Heavenly Father, Please be with us this Christmas as we…

Titus 2: 14 He gave himself for us, to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people who are his own chosen people, eager to do good works. Dear Lord Jesus, We thank you for coming to us that first Christmas; prepare our hearts as we anticipate celebrating your birth. Without your sacrifice, we would have no peace, joy, or hope this Christmas. You gave up heaven to be with us, to live and die with…
