Sept. 29 - Oct. 5, 2013

Lord, I am so thankful for Your great unchanging love for me. Because of Your love, You have forgiven all my sins, and welcomed me into Your family with open arms. Thank You for loving me, even when I am unlovable; and being faithful to me even when I am unfaithful. Help me to share Your love with others so that they may see what an awesome God You are! In Jesus’ Name I pray this.
Amen.

"But I trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation. I will sing to the Lord, because he has dealt bountifully with me."

Heavenly Father, You are my Maker, and in Christ Jesus You have remade me in Your image by Your grace. Forgive me for the times I have oppressed the poor or remained silent when I witnessed such oppression. Give me grace to act in generosity with the resources You have extended to me to manage. May my compassion give honor to Your holy name. Through Jesus Christ my Lord, Amen.

"Whoever oppresses a poor man insults his Maker, but he who is generous to the needy honors him."

Sept. 15 - 21, 2013

Heavenly Father, thank You for helping me to see the error of my ways, to know that the new day brings new mercy so I can forgive myself of my past indiscretions. My God, You are so amazing. Thank You for helping me out of the depths of depression one more time. I cling to You, and You are so faithful to give Your mighty right hand for me to hold onto. In desperation I cry “Abba, Father” and know that I am worthy and that You are faithful and help me on my daily path. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

"It is because of the Lord’s mercy and loving kindness that we are not consumed, because His [tender] compassion fails not. They are new every morning; great and abundant is Your stability and faithfulness."
