1 John 4:7-11 Dear friends, let us love one another, because love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. The one who does not love has not known God, because God is love. This is how God’s love for us was revealed: God has sent his only-begotten Son into the world so that we may live through him. This is love: not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and…

Luke 12: 27-31 [Jesus said] “Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. But I tell you, not even Solomon, in all his glory, was dressed like one of these. If this is how God clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today and tomorrow, is thrown into the furnace, how much more will he clothe you, you of little faith? Do not constantly chase after what you will eat or what you will…

Psalm 4:8 In complete peace, I will lie down, and I will sleep, for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety. Dear Heavenly Father, When we lie down to sleep, we become vulnerable, so we lock our doors and set alarms to alert us in case of trouble. What happens around us while we slumber can make us restless, so as we fall asleep, we want everything to stay quiet. When we trust in you, we can rest assured…

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, We should be terrified of you, given who we are and our sins. Perhaps this is why those who do not…

1 John 1:5-9  This is the message we heard from him and proclaim to you: God is light. In him there is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with him but still walk in darkness, we are lying and do not put the truth into practice. But if we walk in the light, just as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us…

Romans 5:18-19  So then, just as one trespass led to a verdict of condemnation for all people, so also one righteous verdict led to life-giving justification for all people. For just as through the disobedience of one man the many became sinners, so also through the obedience of one man the many will become righteous. Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for the love you have given us. According to this passage from Paul, Adam’s sin has led everyone to be…

Hebrews 4:14-16 Therefore, since we have a great high priest, who has gone through the heavens, namely, Jesus the Son of God, let us continue to hold on to our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are, yet was without sin. So let us approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy…

Psalm 103:1-5 Bless the Lord, O my soul. All that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and do not forget all his benefits—who pardons all your guilt, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with mercy and compassion, who satisfies your life with goodness, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle. Dear Heavenly Father, When we reflect on our sinful selves, we realize how unworthy…

Psalm 34:18-19 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted. He saves those whose spirits have been crushed. Many are the troubles of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him from them all. Dear Heavenly Father, Jesus once said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor but the sick.” When we recognize the depth of our sins and understand what is at stake, we realize that we are accountable for everything we have done, and each sin separates us from you. Every sin warrants…

1 Corinthians 1:26-31 For example, consider your call, brothers. Not many of you were wise from a human point of view, not many were powerful, and not many were born with high status. But God chose the foolish things of the world to put to shame those who are wise. God chose the weak things of the world to put to shame the things that are strong, and God chose the lowly things of the world and the despised things,…
