August 31 - Better Than Praise?


 
Bible Verse: Psalm 51:17 New Living Translation (NLT) "The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit. You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God."

Prayer: "Dear Lord, You have promised to be near to the broken-hearted.  You desire for me to be open and honest with You.  And sometimes, my heartfelt cries for help and tears of repentance are more beautiful to You than the most resplendent praises, for they come from deep within my soul.  Thank You for understanding the moanings of my heart that I often don't even have words for.  Thank You for accepting me just as I am. In Jesus name, AMEN."

August 30 - Lifted by Love



Bible Verse: Isaiah 63:9 New Living Translation (NLT) "In all their suffering He also suffered, and He personally rescued them. In His love and mercy, He redeemed them. He lifted them up and carried them through all the years."

Prayer: "Dear Lord, Sometimes, when I look back over some of the things that You have brought me through, it is with sheer amazement that I even survived.  Your love carried me, sustained me, and gave me hope when nothing else would have done the job.   You never say "I will love you if...." -- you simply say, "I love you!"  Thank You, Lord, for that unconditional love.  May I reflect Your love to the people around me in such a way that they can see that I have been in Your presence. In Jesus name, AMEN."

Bible Verse: Malachi 4:2 New Living Translation (NLT) "But for you who fear my name, the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in His wings. And you will go free, leaping with joy like calves let out to pasture."

Prayer: "Dear Lord, You have seen me at my darkest hour, but You never left me alone.  The painful, chaotic mess that was once my "normal" is now but a memory.  You have healed my broken heart, restored the joy to my soul, and made me whole. I thank You and praise You for the amazing work of healing that You have performed in my life. I pray also for those who may still be in the middle of struggles and trials that You would give them the strength that they need and provide Your healing in their lives. In Your precious and holy name, AMEN."

Be Thou my vision, oh Lord of my heart
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best thought by day or by night
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light

Be Thou my wisdom and Thou my true word
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son
Thou in me dwelling and I with Thee one

High King of Heaven my victory won
May I reach heaven's joys, oh, bright heaven's sun
Heart of my own heart whatever befall
Still be my vision, oh Ruler of all

Thou and Thou only first in my heart
High King of Heaven, my treasure Thou art

What about driving fast in a car, or zipping down a rollercoaster, or kissing the love of my life?  Can I really say that compared to knowing you, all those things are garbage?

There's a new song breaking out
From the children of freedom

Of the grace that has freed us
Make Him known and make Him famous
Sing it out, sing a new hallelujah

Arise, let the church arise
Let love reach to the other side
Alive, come alive
Let the song arise

All the world sings a new song
Reaching out with a new hallelujah

Every son and every daughter
Everyone sing a new hallelujah

Let the song arise
Let the song arise
Let the song arise

Prayer: "Dear Heavenly Father, Truly, as the words of our song for today state, 'I love you could not be said a better way.'  You sent Your only Son into this world so that we could gain access to Heaven.

Bible Verse: Psalm 13:6 New Living Translation (NLT) "I will sing to the Lord because He is good to me."

Prayer: "Lord, I don't sing because I have the answers - - I sing because You have given me a song. You have set me free from sin and given me such a joy that my heart explodes with praise for You.  I could sing because I'm in love.  I could sing because I want to express myself or impress someone else. But Lord, the most important reason that I sing is to thank You and praise You for who You are and for all that You have done for me.  You are the reason that I sing! In Jesus' name, AMEN."

"My Jesus, I Love Thee"

My Jesus, I love Thee, I know Thou art mine;
For Thee all the follies of sin I resign;
My gracious Redeemer, my Savior art Thou;
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now.


I love Thee because Thou hast first loved me,
And purchased my pardon on Calvary’s tree;
I love Thee for wearing the thorns on Thy brow;
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now.


In mansions of glory and endless delight,
I’ll ever adore Thee in heaven so bright;
I’ll sing with the glittering crown on my brow,
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now.

August 17 - Glory to His Name!

 
 
Bible Verse: Hebrews 2:9 New Living Translation (NLT) "What we do see is Jesus, who was given a position “a little lower than the angels”; and because He suffered death for us, He is now “crowned with glory and honor.” Yes, by God’s grace, Jesus tasted death for everyone."

Prayer: "Dear Lord, may I never take for granted the immense sacrifice that You made on the cross for me. You gave up Your royal position in heaven -- You gave up Your very life! And, You would have been willing to do it even if I were the only person on earth. That leaves me speechless with wonder.  I praise You and thank You for being willing to shed Your blood so that I could be saved from my sins.  Come live in my heart, Lord Jesus, and be truly glorified as the King of my life. Glory to Your name! AMEN."

Down at the cross where my Savior died,
Down where for cleansing from sin I cried,
There to my sin was the blood applied;
 Glory to His name!

 Glory to His name,
Glory to His name;
There to my sin was the blood applied;
  Glory to His name!
 
(instrumental)

I am so wondrously saved from sin,
Jesus so sweetly abides within;
There at the cross where He took me in;
    Glory to His name.
 
(Oh sing) Glory to His name,
Glory to His name;
There to my sin was the blood applied;
  Glory to His name!

Come to this fountain so rich and sweet;
Cast thy poor soul at the Savior’s feet;
Plunge in today, and be made complete;
    Glory to His name.
 
(Oh sing) Glory to His name,
Glory to His name;
There to my sin was the blood applied;
  Glory to His name!
 
Glory to His name,
Glory to His name;
There to my sin was the blood applied;
  Glory to His name!
 
Yes, there to my heart was the blood applied;
Glory to His name!

Prayer: "Lord, I don't even know where to begin when it comes to praising and thanking You for what You have done for me. Even before I was aware that I needed You, even though I didn't WANT Your forgiveness yet, even though I was still in the middle of a sinful life, You died for me! Now THAT is amazing love! You gave up Your throne in Heaven just so that I could experience rebirth -- a new life in You. Nothing is the same now since You've changed my heart. I still mess up, but Your forgiveness is there for me every time to clean out the garbage from my heart. Truly, You are not only my Savior, but You are my King!

I can't wait for the day when you return to gather Your children and take us to Heaven to live with You forever.  Thank You for dying on the cross and rising again, because that is what makes this all possible.  When I accepted You into my heart as my Lord and Savior, I received eternal life -- which means I get to go to heaven with You! Lord, help me live in such a way that others can see the joy and hope in my life.  May I be aware of the things going on in the world around me that show me when Your return is imminent.  I can hardly wait to see You.   I have so many questions I want to ask You.  Oh, Lord, what a day that will be!  In Your precious and Holy name, AMEN."

August 10 - A Meeting in the Air

 
Bible Verses: 1 Thessalonians 4:13-16 New Living Translation (NLT) "And now, dear brothers and sisters, we want you to know what will happen to the believers who have died so you will not grieve like people who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and was raised to life again, we also believe that when Jesus returns, God will bring back with him the believers who have died. We tell you this directly from the Lord: We who are still living when the Lord returns will not meet him ahead of those who have died. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God."

Prayer: "Dear Lord, What a blessed assurance that we will once again see our loved ones who accepted You as their Savior before they died.  I can hardly wait to meet some for the first time, and get reacquainted with others.  Oh Lord, what a wonderful day that will be when You come again in the clouds, bringing our loved ones with You! Then we who are born again and remain alive on earth will be gathered up together with them in the clouds, and we will be "whisked away" to Heaven to live with You forever!  What a wonderful promise! Thank You, Jesus, for making this all possible by dying on the cross for my sins! In Your precious and holy name I pray, AMEN."

(Today is my Grandpa Alfred's birthday. He died the year that I was born, so I never got to meet him.  I'm told that I inherited some of my musical talent from him via my father.  I can't wait to meet Grandpa in heaven and sing and play together with him. This song is one he enjoyed playing and singing! Happy Birthday Uncle Alfred!)

In your precious and holy name, AMEN."

How can I keep silent about Your marvelous love for humanity? Lord, help my life to shine out as a bright light in a dark world, showing others Your love and Your grace each and every day. In Jesus' name, AMEN."
