A gift from God

Heavenly Father, thank you for sending Jesus to reconcile us to yourself. I know that—because of my sin—I could never do enough to make things right between us, but Jesus makes it possible for me to be at peace with You. I’m so grateful to have the opportunity to know You and be forgiven of my sins. Please help me to share the message of reconciliation with others. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

King over all the earth

God, this world is not my home. Help me to be present in my interactions with others, while still yearning for heaven. Show me how to balance the temporal and eternal. I trust that Your kingdom is coming soon. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Forgiven and free

God, Thank You for having mercy on us. Thank You for choosing to save us through the gift of Your Son—even though we did nothing to deserve it. Every good gift that we have is because of You. So today, remind me of Your free gift of salvation, and give me the boldness to tell others about Your amazing love. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

By faith

God, I am not ashamed of the Gospel. I am so grateful for Your love for me, and I want to share Your goodness with the world. Help me to be bold in my faith, to love others well, and to live a life that honors You. Guide me as I lead people to You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Take up your cross

God, please show me what I'm withholding from You. I want to live fully surrendered. Teach me how to prioritize following You and loving others. No matter how difficult, I want to daily deny my self-focused desires, and seek You first. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Faith over fear

God, thank You for taking fear’s power and replacing it with gifts from Your Spirit: power, love, and self-control. I know that I will be afraid at times, but—because You are with me—I don’t have to keep living in fear. Please replace my doubts and fears with thoughts about what's good and true. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
