Morning Prayers
Lord, you have been so faithful to us over the last year and all of the years of our lives – and we stand ready now, by your grace, to look into yet another new year, if it be your will. So, with joy in our hearts and peace in our souls we prepare to […]
Evening Prayers
Father, through this day we have encountered many people – in ever circumstance we have not achieved the Christlike life we wish for and you call for us to live – but we thank you that you have brought us so far as to want to be like Jesus – as to make it our […]
May We – May I – May You Choose Jesus
“And calling the crowd to him with his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.” (Mark 8:34, ESV) Whether we recognize it or not – we are all making choices every day – we do not have so many […]
ARE YOU ALL IN OR ALL OUT FOR JESUS?
“Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.” (Romans 12:12, ESV) This is not a ‘Hallmark’ card saying – this is a command from the Creator who made heaven and earth and you and me. Rejoice in hope – hope in the Bible does not mean ‘wish’ it means a sure thing – […]
Morning Prayers
Lord help us to love you today with all of our heart and to love our neighbors as ourselves. You have said this is highest on your priority and so it must be on ours as well. Help us Lord – these things are not natural to us but they are a part of the […]

We Choose and We Continue In Our Choice
“Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” (Hebrews 12:2, NIV84) Life is a daily choice between the Lord Jesus Christ and the world […]
Morning Prayers
In the morning when I rise, give me Jesus – and may my heart be and remain surrendered to the Lord my Savior not just for the morning but throughout the day and all my life and yes to the end of eternity which is without end – yes amen and may it ever be […]
Marked by Jesus Christ?
“Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.” (Romans 12:10, ESV) If we are followers of the Lord Jesus Christ, our lives are marked by his presence in us (for it is no longer we who live but Christ who lives in us… Galatians 2:20). The presence of the risen Lord […]
