Jan. 25 - 31, 2015

Lord, You are my hope, You are my comfort and You are my most faithful helper in every need. I put my trust in You as I bear patiently all my adversities. In Your Precious Name I pray. Amen.

"…(v.14) The Lord upholds all who are falling, and raises up all who are bowed down…(v.18) The Lord is near to all who call on Him...(v.20) The Lord watches over all who love Him."
Psalm 145: 14, 18, 20 (NRSV)

Jan. 18 - 24, 2015

Lord God, Our Father, the one true source of righteousness, justice and peace, we come to You asking first for forgiveness for those we’ve treated unfairly, unjustly and in an unrighteous way. By Your grace, make us a channel of the River of Life to those in need of it most: the helpless, the hopeless, poor, downtrodden, wherever they may be in Jesus’ Name, Amen.

"But let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream."
Amos 5:24 (ESV)

Jan. 11 - 17, 2015

Heavenly Father, I worship and adore You for You alone are worthy of all honor and glory. As we begin a new year I fall on my knees and ask Your forgiveness for all those failings that I have not brought before You. Help me not to look back with regret and remorse for what has gone before. Rather, help me to look forward to my continued adventure with You in the year 2015. I pray for our country that You will keep us safe and secure in Your everlasting arms and that we will always keep our gaze fixed on You. Bless my loved ones. Protect them from all harm and danger and turn the hearts of those who have strayed from Your path back to You. I recommit my life to You and promise that throughout the year I will listen to Your voice and Your voice alone. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

"…Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."
Philippians 3:13b-14 (NIV)

Jan. 4 - 10, 2015

Lord, as I begin this new year may I be diligent in calling on You because You hear, and praying to You because You listen. How comforting it is to know that the Almighty God has invited me into His Holy presence for my benefit and His Glory. Father, You are never far from me or difficult for me to find. May I seek You for all guidance and wisdom for 2015 knowing that if I do so with all my heart, I will find You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

"Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."
Jeremiah 29:12-13 (NIV)
