Jan 31 - Walking With Jesus

  

Bible Verse: Colossians 2:6-7 New King James Version (NKJV) "As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving."

Prayer: "Dear Lord,  Sometimes in my life it has seemed as if You were very far away -- so far away, in fact, that it felt as if You weren't there at all.  It was during those times that Your Holy Spirit reminded me that YOU NEVER LEAVE ME, so if it was feeling like You were far away, it must have meant that I was the one that had moved.  What a revelation! If I want to feel You near me, it means that I need to walk closely in step with You.  Forgive me, Lord, for those times when I stray away from You. Hold my hand today and keep me close to Your side. In Jesus' precious and holy name I pray, AMEN."

Jan 30 - The Greatest Love of All

  

Bible Verse: John 15:13 New Living Translation (NLT) "There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends."
 
Prayer: "Dear Jesus,  I could never thank You enough for what You have done for me.  Your sacrifice on the cross wiped away my sins forever, but that was just the beginning.  Your presence in my life has made such a difference in the way I look at things -- the way I deal with problems, the way I view other people, and the way I approach life in general.  You have brought me through some dark valleys, but You have also rejoiced with me in some great victories.  I thank You and I praise You for Your unfailing love. Truly, there is no greater love than Yours. In Your precious and holy name I pray, AMEN."

Prayer: "Dear Lord, Your mercies are new every morning! WOW!  There is never a morning that comes that I am not amazed at this idea -- that every morning offers me a fresh start, a new beginning.  I don't have to wait for New Year's day to make any resolutions -- I can make them every morning.  By Your grace, I resolve today to live and walk according to Your will and rest in the knowledge that You are the Supreme God, in control of everything.  Thank You for this assurance that even in the midst of violence around the world, Your love never fails and Your mercy is new every morning! In Jesus' precious and holy name I pray, AMEN."

Lord, help me to trust You on the mountaintops of life and the valleys as well, knowing that no matter where life leads me, I am never alone, for You are always with me. In Jesus' precious and holy name I pray, AMEN."

"Leaning on the Everlasting Arms"

What a fellowship, what a joy divine
Leaning on the Everlasting Arms 
What a blessedness, what a peace is mine
Leaning on the Everlasting Arms

Leaning, leaning
Safe and secure from all alarms
Leaning, leaning
Leaning on the Everlasting Arms

O, how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way
Leaning on the Everlasting Arms 
O, how bright the path grows from day to day
Leaning on the Everlasting Arms

Leaning, leaning
Safe and secure from all alarms
Leaning, leaning
Leaning on the Everlasting Arms
 
What have I to dread what have I to fear
Leaning on the Everlasting Arms
 I have blessed peace with my Lord so near
Leaning on the Everlasting Arms 

Leaning, leaning
Safe and secure from all alarms
Leaning, leaning
Leaning on the Everlasting Arms

Prayer: "Dear Lord,  Many times when I'm in the middle of a trial, it's hard to see Your hand in what's going on. Give me more faith, I pray, and help me to believe that no matter what happens, I can make it through in Your strength and by the power of Your name.  Thank You Jesus, for giving me the assurance of Your presence here with me. In Your precious and holy name I pray, AMEN."

"Happy the Home When God is There"

Happy the home when God is there
And love fills everyone,
When with united work and prayer
The Master's will is done.

Happy the home where God's strong love
Is starting to appear,
Where all the children hear His fame
And parents hold Him dear.

Happy the home where prayer is heard
And praise is everywhere,
Where parents love the sacred Word
And its true wisdom share.

Lord let us in our homes agree
This blessed peace to gain.
Unite our hearts in love to Thee
And love to all will reign.

Jan 22 - The Heartbeat of Our Mission

  

Bible Verse: Deuteronomy 11:22 New Living Translation (NLT) "Show love to the Lord your God by walking in His ways and holding tightly to Him."

Mark 16:15 New Living Translation (NLT) "Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone." 

Prayer: "Dear Lord, help me to love you with all my heart, soul, body, and mind -- and may that love then extend outward into my neighborhood, my town, my state, my country, and even perhaps across the world. I want to serve You, Lord, but not so that I can somehow pat myself on the back and say, "look how good I am."  No, I want to serve You out of the love that You have placed in my heart -- help me to treat others with the same compassion that You have shown me. Here I am, Lord. I am willing. Use me, I pray. In Jesus' precious and holy name, AMEN."

Prayer: "Dear Lord, I want You be in complete control of my life. Mold me and shape me however You please.  Help me not to complain when circumstances don't go the way that I think they should. Perhaps those "surprises" are Your hands at work forming me into what You want me to be.  I am all Yours, Lord. Do whatever You want with me. I surrender all that I am to You.  In Jesus' precious and holy name I pray, AMEN."

Jan 20 - Love Beyond All Measure

  

Bible Verse: Romans 5:8 New Living Translation (NLT) "God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners."
 
Prayer: "Dear Heavenly Father, I cannot begin to fathom the depth of Your love for humanity, but as a parent I know that I could never give up one of my children to be killed -- and I have three of them -- You only had ONE! And yet, You loved me so much that You gave up Your ONLY SON to die in my place so that my sins could be forgiven.  I could spend all of eternity thanking You and it would never be enough.  I can only hope that Your love will soak into my heart, spill out into my life, and somehow be a blessing to others. In Jesus' precious and holy name I pray, AMEN."

"How Deep the Father's Love for Us"

How deep the Father's love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
And make a wretch His treasure
How great the pain of searing loss
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
Bring many sons to glory

Behold the man upon His cross
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers
It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished!

I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection
Why should I gain from His reward
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom

Why should I gain from His reward
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom!

Jan 19 - Paid in Full

  

Bible Verse: Isaiah 53:5 New Living Translation (NLT) "He was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed."

Prayer: "Dear Jesus, There is nothing I could ever do to save myself.  My sins are many and I am not able to do the right thing on my own. No matter how hard I try, I still make mistakes and disappoint You.  Thank You for shedding Your blood on the cross to pay the debt for my sins. Thanks to You, my "bill" before the Heavenly Father reads "Paid in Full!" I worship You, Jesus, for being my Savior and for Your sacrifice that completely washes away ALL of my sins. In Your precious and holy name I pray, AMEN."

Jan 18 - I Dare You to Move!

  

Bible Verse: Hebrews 10:24 New Living Translation (NLT) "Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works."

Prayer: "Dear Jesus,  It is wonderful that You have saved me, but it would be really sad if I just kept the joy of Your salvation to myself.  Sometimes I think that because I mess up I am not worthy to tell others about You, but really, that's just a lame excuse.  I need to get up off of my behind and MOVE to tell others about You, but even more than telling, I need to show Your love by the way that I live and the way that I serve. Work in my life, Lord, and help me to motivate other believers to actively and lovingly serve You, whether in their own backyards or across the globe. In Your precious and holy name I pray, AMEN."

Bible Verse: 1 Corinthians 1:18 New Living Translation (NLT) "The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God."
 
Prayer: "Dear Lord,  I know that some may call me "foolish" for believing that the death and resurrection of one individual could secure salvation for all of humanity.  There are others like me, however, who believe that clinging to the cross not only brings us life, but it also brings us unspeakable joy because we know that our lives on this earth are only the beginning -- that because of the cross of Christ, we will share eternal life in Heaven with Him.  Thank You, Jesus, for giving us this gift of life, of hope, of joy, and of eternal life! In Your precious and holy name I pray, AMEN."

Your love and compassion are beyond measure. I have no words to describe the way that You love me.  All I can say is that Your love is like the most beautiful song ever composed playing softly throughout time and space, filling my soul with joy and peace.

Moment by moment I’m kept in His love;
Moment by moment I’ve life from above;
Looking to Jesus till glory doth shine;
Moment by moment, O Lord, I am Thine.

Never a trial that He is not there,
Never a burden that He doth not bear,
Never a sorrow that He doth not share,
Moment by moment, I’m under His care.

Moment by moment I’m kept in His love;
Moment by moment I’ve life from above;
Looking to Jesus till glory doth shine;
Moment by moment, O Lord, I am Thine.

Never a weakness that He doth not feel,
Never a sickness that He cannot heal;

Jesus my Savior abides with me still.

Moment by moment I’m kept in His love;
Moment by moment I’ve life from above;
Looking to Jesus till glory doth shine;
Moment by moment, O Lord, I am Thine.
