Revelation 1:7-8 Look, he is coming with clouds, and every eye will see him, including those who pierced him. And all the nations of the earth will mourn because of him. Yes.

While many in the world want to…

Psalm 145:15-16 The eyes of all look eagerly to you, and you give them their food at the proper time. He opens his hand, and he satisfies the desire of every living thing. Dear Heavenly Father, This Thanksgiving, we say thank you, you provide the needs of all people, believers and unbelievers alike. You make the crops grow and cause the animals to fatten, providing us with our food. Lord, you open up your hand, providing all that we need. Especially…

1 Chronicles 16:23-27 Sing to the Lord, all the earth. Proclaim the good news of his salvation from day to day. Declare his glory among the nations, his wonderful acts among all the peoples, for great is the Lord and greatly to be praised. He is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the peoples are not gods at all. But the Lord made the heavens. Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and joy are in his place. Dear Heavenly Father, You are…

Luke 21:25-28 “There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars. And on the earth nations will be in anguish, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the surging waves, people fainting from fear and expectation of the things coming on the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. But when these things begin to happen,…

Jeremiah 23:5-6 Listen, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, who will reign wisely as king and establish justice and righteousness on earth. In his days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell securely. This is his name by which he will be called: The Lord Our Righteousness. Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for keeping your word and raising your Son for us, who is the KING of Kings. Jesus came to this…

2 Timothy 2:11-13 This saying is trustworthy: Indeed, if we have died with Him, we will also live with Him; If we endure, we will also reign with Him; If we deny Him, He will also deny us; If we are faithless, He remains faithful, because He cannot deny Himself. Dear Lord Jesus, Thank you for these words. Let me never cheapen the grace that you have given to me. In your love and mercy, you came to this earth before I came…

Psalm 103:11-12 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.

You made us, and you breathed your Spirit into us. Even though we…

Ephesians 5:1-2 Therefore, be imitators of God as his dearly loved children. And walk in love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself for us, as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. Dear Heavenly Father, You want us to demonstrate your love to others. One of the most incredible acts of love you did for us was to forgive your enemies and give them life. Lord, I was one of those who hated you, and my sinful nature…

Romans 8:26  In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we should pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that are not expressed in words. Dear Heavenly Father, Is it an understatement to say there are times when I don’t know what I am doing? You know my heart, and those times I do not know what I should pray, you also know when I ask for the…

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, Thank you for always being here and providing for us. While the universe seems to us to be so vast, you are greater than all of it. Yet you are close enough to us to be our home. Incredibly, you are the creator…
