There is work to do. It starts with prayer.

God is calling for repentance while there’s still opportunity. His judgment against sin is to be taken seriously. Call on His mercy today.

Help us to approach decision-making with humility and understanding, realizing people we love and care about will live with the consequences.

Help us to make known to the world that there’s room in Your house for more!

God has not changed. He’s still worthy of our solemn, considerate, reverent preparation as we meet with Him for prayer, study, and worship.

We have only to turn to Your Word to be reminded of Your character and Your goodness, Your sovereignty and Your holiness. Let us not deny what we find there.

Holy Spirit, in those moments when we can so easily capitulate our thoughts to the work of the enemy, draw our hearts and minds back to truth and hope found in Your Word.

Lord, You’re where my heart is at home. Tether me to that holy abode with golden threads of love and grace.

Our all-wise God is worthy of our first pursuit to move forward in times of challenge. His ways are the best ways.

Scripture is not just “idle words.” It is our life. (Deuteronomy 32:47) Let us never forget that, letting it inform all that we think, say, and do.

You move hearts. By the Spirit’s power, move my feet to carry the gospel to my corner of the world.

Strengthen us to persevere in fighting the good fight – pushing back the darkness, carrying Your light of salvation, and looking to Jesus – the Author and Perfector of our faith.

Remember that the God over us is the God over all. We can function in – and even lead – our culture if we first pledge our loyalty to Him.

The remaining branches, nourished by the life of the vine, then flourish and grow, producing lush, juicy, sweet grapes.

Well supplied by His Holy Spirit, we can give to others what God has given to us – a commitment to their good, grace, fairness, value, and love.

God designed us to do life together. When your world is heavy and dark, I pray that your “Aaron and Hur” arrive quickly to support and care for you.

The next time you run across another long list of names in your Bible, resist the urge to skip over it. Give each name the respect it deserves…

In the timelessness of Scripture, we see all of God’s people in every historical setting set apart to serve the Lord.

Pray on a regular basis that the Holy Spirit will temper your emotions when you’re tempted to react quickly and to say or do things you can’t unsay or undo.
