Psalm 36:7-9  How precious is your mercy, O God! So all people find refuge in the shadow of your wings. They are satisfied by the rich food of your house. You let them drink from your river of delights. For with you is the fountain of life. In your light, we see light. Dear Heavenly Father, It is no secret that on this earth, we can suffer from all the challenges of living in this sin-filled land; sickness and diseases…

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 sending us your grace and peace, which came to us through your plan of salvation. While we did not eat the fruit Adam ate, we are still…

Galatians 2:19-21 “Indeed, through the law I died to the law that I might live for God. I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I am now living in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved and gave himself for me. I do not regard the grace of God as nothing. If righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing! Dear…

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, Thank you for being our strength and shield; please let us hold to you…

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…

Proverbs 16:9 A person’s heart plans his way, but the Lord makes his steps secure. Dear Heavenly Father, You allow us to plan and discover those things to keep us busy while on this earth. We prepare for what we might do, and as Solomon wrote, you secure our steps. We can be confident that you will guide and direct our ways in all we do. Sometimes you allow some things to come to fruition, and other times you do not let…

Malachi 2:10 Don’t we all have one Father? Hasn’t one God created us? Dear Heavenly Father, Forgive me for my sins. Malachi wrote this as a reminder that we are all equal because you created us all. Pride is the focus on myself, how much better I am than others, and how everyone must accept me no matter what I do. My sinful nature makes it personal by focusing on what is best for me; even if what I do…

Psalm 100:5 For the Lord is good. His mercy endures forever. His faithfulness continues through all generations. Dear Heavenly Father, Let us rejoice in your goodness today; You have given us another day to spend in your grace and mercy; it is also another day to be with our loved ones on this earth and share the good news of your love. Your faithfulness continues even when ours does not and continues through all generations. Because of Your love, we can come…

Matthew 5:45 For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. Dear Heavenly Father, You demonstrate Your love and mercy to all people by blessing all people, even those who hate You. Through Your love, You make Your sun to shine for everyone. When the rains come, it does not only go to those who believe in You but also those who do not. But this verse…

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, We find true comfort and peace in our dwelling place with you. We desire a place to call home with those we love around us. But those iconic family home scenes around the table are unrelatable for many people. We all live in…
