Remind me that the eternal reward in Heaven is worth so much more than the petty problems I face here -- that all of the anguish and agony we go through will all be worth it some day when we see Your face!

Full Lyrics Below
I will sing the wondrous story
Of the Christ who died for me
How He left the realms of glory
For the cross of Calvary
Yes, I'll sing the wondrous story
Of the Christ who died for me
Sing it with the saints in glory
Gathered by the crystal sea
I was lost, but Jesus found me
Found the sheep that went astray
Raised me up and gently led me
Back into the narrow way
Yes, I'll sing the wondrous story
Of the Christ who died for me
Sing it with the saints in glory
Gathered by the crystal sea
He will keep me 'til the river
Rolls its waters at my feet
Then at last He'll bring me over
Saved by grace and victory
Yes, I'll sing the wondrous story
Of the Christ who died for me
Sing it with the saints in glory
Gathered by the crystal sea
Yes, I'll sing the wondrous story
Of the Christ who died for me
Sing it with the saints in glory
Gathered by the crystal sea
Bible Verse: Romans 8:17 "And since we are His children, we are His heirs. In fact, together with Christ we are heirs of God’s glory. But if we are to share His glory, we must also share His suffering." New Living Translation (NLT)
Prayer: "Dear Heavenly Father, Please help me to remember, when trials come my way, that You suffered on this earth too -- that there's nothing I'm going through that You are not aware of or didn't go through something similar while You were down here. And Lord, please remind me You never promised that walking with God would be an easy road. No, instead, You said we would be sharing in Your suffering -- that there would be trials and temptations along the way. Guaranteed. That we shouldn't be surprised by them. So please, Lord, help me not to complain so much but maybe even consider these challenges I face a blessing from You in my life that will help me to trust You more. If these struggles are what it takes to keep me closer to You, then I guess they're okay by me. Thank You for loving me! In Jesus' name, Amen."
Bible Verse: Ephesians 6:18 "Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere." New Living Translation (NLT)
Prayer: "Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You so much for the gift of prayer. Just knowing that I can come to You with any request, knowing that I can pour my heart out to You at any time of the night or day means the world to me. I pray for healing. I pray for strength. I pray for financial wisdom -- that we might soon be free from debt. I thank You for all of Your answers to prayer that You have given us recently and I praise You for Your marvelous faithfulness in all things. There is no other name in Heaven or on earth that has the same power as the name of Jesus, and it is in His name that I ask these things, Amen."

I must tell Jesus all of my trials;
I cannot bear these burdens alone;
In my distress He kindly will help me;
He ever loves and cares for His own.
I must tell Jesus! I must tell Jesus!
I cannot bear my burdens alone;
I must tell Jesus! I must tell Jesus!
Jesus can help me, Jesus alone.
I must tell Jesus all of my troubles;
He is a kind, compassionate Friend;
If I but ask Him, He will deliver,
And in my griefs with me He will blend.
I must tell Jesus! I must tell Jesus!
I cannot bear my burdens alone;
I must tell Jesus! I must tell Jesus!
Jesus can help me, Jesus alone.
Tempted and tried I need a great Savior,
One who can help my burdens to bear;
I must tell Jesus, I must tell Jesus;
He all my cares and sorrows will share.
I must tell Jesus! I must tell Jesus!
I cannot bear my burdens alone;
I must tell Jesus! I must tell Jesus!
Jesus can help me, Jesus alone.
O how the world to evil allures me!
O how my heart is tempted to sin!
I must tell Jesus; He will enable
Over the world the vic’try to win.
I must tell Jesus! I must tell Jesus!
I cannot bear my burdens alone;
I must tell Jesus! I must tell Jesus!
Jesus can help me, Jesus alone.
Bible Verse: Psalm 90:8 "You spread out our sins before you -- our secret sins -- and you see them all." New Living Translation (NLT)
Prayer: "Dear Lord, I know that you see the innermost parts of my heart and soul. You see even the secret sins that I try to hide. The thing is, truth be told, I only show the smiles to others and keep saying 'I'm fine' to others when really, on the inside, I'm not fine. Inside, sometimes, I feel broken and useless. I'm thankful that you not only see my sins, but you see my sadness. You fill up the broken places in my heart with Your Spirit, wiht Your eternal love, and with Your grace in a way that only You can. Comfort me, Father. Calm me. Restore me. Renew me. Even in my hidden places that nobody else can see, because if the truth were told, those places really need Your help! In Jesus' name, Amen."

Thank You for giving me such peace in my soul and for granting me the grace and forgiveness that Your sacrifice on Calvary allows me. In Jesus' precious name I pray, Amen."

Days are filled with sorrow and care
Hearts are lonely and drear
Burdens are lifted at Calvary
Jesus is very near
Burdens are lifted at Calvary
Calvary, Calvary
Burdens are lifted at Calvary
Jesus is very near
Cast your care on Jesus today
Leave your worry and fear
Burdens are lifted at Calvary
Jesus is very neary
Burdens are lifted at Calvary
Calvary, Calvary
Burdens are lifted at Calvary
Jesus is very near
Troubled soul, the Savior can see
Every heartache and tear;
Burdens are lifted at Calvary
Jesus is very near.
Burdens are lifted at Calvary
Calvary, Calvary
Burdens are lifted at Calvary
Jesus is very near

Prayer: "Dear God, I bow down at Your cross today in total awe of who You are and what You have done for me. I owe everything I am to You. You made it possible for me to be right with You in a way that I NEVER could have done on my own, for I am not worthy. My sin would have kept me forever separate from You. But thanks to Your loving sacrifice on the cross, I can now approach You as Your friend and truly, Your child. Thank You, Jesus, for all that You did at the cross. Amen."

Full Lyrics Below
There is a name I love to hear,
I love to sing its worth;
it sounds like music in my ear,
the sweetest name on earth.
O how I love Jesus,
O how I love Jesus,
O how I love Jesus,
because he first loved me!
It tells me of a Savior's love,
who died to set me free;
it tells me of his precious blood,
the sinner's perfect plea.
O how I love Jesus,
O how I love Jesus,
O how I love Jesus,
because he first loved me!
It tells of one whose loving heart
can feel my deepest woe;
who in each sorrow bears a part
that none can bear below.
O how I love Jesus,
O how I love Jesus,
O how I love Jesus,
because he first loved me!
Bible Verse: John 16:33 (Jesus Speaking)" 'I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.' " New Living Translation (NLT)
Prayer: "Dear Jesus, I thank You for dying on the cross for me so that I could know for sure what will happen in the end because I have put my faith in You. I know that You have already defeated death and evil. The devil has no hold on me anymore, and even though I still sin, it isn't my habit or my friend. You are my source of strength and I know that You are always victorious. In the end, I know that Good will prosper, even though it looks as if evil does well around us here on earth. Remind me, Lord, that in the light of eternity, all of this temporary success is nothing. Fix my eyes on Heaven, and keep me focused on the things of God. Help me to run the race that you've set before me, knowing that You have already won the battle for me -- I just have to keep my hand in Yours. Hold me tight, Lord, and don't let go! In Your precious and Holy name I pray, Amen."

Prayer: "Dear Lord, Thank You so much for giving me the grace that I don't deserve -- the unmerited favor and standing in Your eyes that I never could have earned on my own.

But since He died for me on the cross, I have mercy and pardon for all of my sins, and even though my sins are great, Your grace is far greater. Thank You for Your bountiful forgiveness and mercy. Help me to show the same compassion to others that You thave shown to me. You have blessed me with so much, Lord. Help me to share your grace with others. In Jesus' name, Amen."

Full Lyrics Below
Marvelous grace of our loving Lord,
Grace that exceeds our sin and our guilt!
Yonder on Calvary's mount out-poured–
There where the blood of the Lamb was spilt.
Grace, grace, God's grace,
Grace that will pardon and cleanse within;
Grace, grace, God's grace,
Grace that is greater than all our sin!
Sin and despair, like the sea-waves cold,
Threaten the soul with infinite loss;
Grace that is greater– yes, grace untold–
Points to the Refuge, the mighty Cross.
Grace, grace, God's grace,
Grace that will pardon and cleanse within;
Grace, grace, God's grace,
Grace that is greater than all our sin!
Marvelous, infinite, matchless grace,
Freely bestowed on all who believe!
All who are longing to see His face,
Will you this moment His grace receive?
Grace, grace, God's grace,
Grace that will pardon and cleanse within;
Grace, grace, God's grace,
Grace that is greater than all our sin!

Thank You for leaving these reminders for me of Your presence in creation and Your love for all creatures big and small. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen."
Song: Congregational Singing "The Wonder of It All"
Daniel 3:16-18 "Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego replied, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you. If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God whom we serve is able to save us. He will rescue us from your power, Your Majesty. But even if He doesn’t, we want to make it clear to you, Your Majesty, that we will never serve your gods or worship the gold statue you have set up.” " New Living Translation (NLT)
Prayer: "Dear Lord, Help me to be like those faithful men of old who said that even if You didn't save them, they would still remain faithful to You no matter what. There are so many times when I know that You have the power to to something and I wonder why it seems as if You don't act. Maybe You do and I just don't know about it, or maybe You choose to move in a different way. Maybe You say 'no' or 'wait awhile.' I don't know. But whatever the case, give me the faith to trust in You -- to trust that You know what is best, even if I can't see what You are doing. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen."

I'm thirsty for Your presence in my life. Fill up the emptiness in my soul in the way that only You can. In Jesus' name, Amen."

Prayer: "Dear Lord, Even when life wears me down and the darkness seems to surround me, please remind me that You are here with me and that brighter days are just around the corner. I know that You are with me wherever I go, and that even when this godless world brings me down, I can still have hope in You. Remind me that what I see around me is just a small piece of the grander picture that You have planned for humanity -- that You have unlimited resources to help me. Strengthen me, Lord. Encourage me. Give me brighter days. In Jesus' precious name, Amen."
Ephesians 1:7 "He is so rich in kindness and grace that He purchased our freedom with the blood of His Son and forgave our sins." New Living Translation (NLT)
Prayer: "Dear Lord, I am so thankful that Your sacrifice on the cross means that no matter how many times I mess up, I can continue to come to You and ask for forgiveness. That doesn't mean I should make a habit of sinning, but I know that I'm human and will keep making mistakes. These days it seems like I've been making a lot of them. I'm so sorry! Please forgive me! Wash out my heart and make me new again! Help me to feel excited about You the way that I did when I first gave my heart to You. I miss that feeling . . . I miss walking with You and trusting You like a little child would. Bring me back to that, Lord. Don't give up on me, please. I do love You! In Jesus' name, Amen."
