Our source of strength

Father God, thank You for being my source of strength. You are here for me no matter what I face, and I’m so grateful I can take refuge in You. Today, help me to come before You humbly and honestly. Give me the courage to surrender my concerns to You, and the faith to trust You with the results. I invite You to be my source of strength—today and forever. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Love like Jesus

Confession

God, I confess that I have not always been the person You’ve created me to be. I sometimes fail to love You with my whole heart, mind, and soul. I do not always love my neighbors as You love them.

A New Nature

The Spirit of God

God, You created this world. You're the source of every good thing. You even bring dead things back to life! Thank You for defeating death on the cross and making a way for me to live forever. Help me to spend my days honoring You and telling others about Your love. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Rest

Sacrificial love

Jesus, thank You for Your love. You gave everything. You showed me how to love sacrificially. I can’t love others in this way without Your help. Help me know how much You love me and, from that place, love others in a way that points them to You. Amen.
