Fix our eyes not on what is seen

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:18 Father God, I thank you for reminding me that everything in this earth and what it has to offer is only temporary, but your promises and the things of your kingdom are eternal. Help me fix my eyes on you and your kingdom though I cannot see it, O Lord, help me focus on what really matters at the end and to always live by faith, not by sight, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Humble yourselves

“God opposes the proud but favors the humble.” So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor. 1 Peter 5:5​ Merciful and forgiving Lord, blessed be your Name in all of the earth, thank you for being my God and my King, thank you for allowing me another day of life to serve and worship you. Teach me to be humble, to turn away from arrogance, O God, help me be gentle, patient and loving as you are. May my actions help lead others to your throne of grace, I pray in Jesus' name.Amen

Wait for the Lord

I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living! Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage;Wait for the Lord! Psalm 27:13-14 Thank you, Father God, for carrying us through trials, for your promises that you will never leave or forsake us. Though we walk through dark valleys, let us remember that you are at our side and in control. Strengthen us, O Lord, fill our hearts with courage as we faithfully wait for you to take care of things in your perfect time, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

His love endures forever

Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations. Psalm 100:5-6 I praise you, my Lord and Mighty God, with all of my heart, I give you thanks for everything you have given me, for every breath I take, for every blessing you have given me and for making me your child. you are good and you are mighty, your love endures forever! May your faithfulness continue to be with us, through all generations, O Lord, may we continue receiving your mercy and grace as we praise your name and give you honor and glory in all we do, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen​

He is faithful and just

If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:8-9 Thank you heavenly Lord, for being faithful and just to forgive my sins, I am a sinner and I know I fall short of your glory daily. I ask that your mercy and grace continues to be with me, O God, that you purify me from all unrighteousness and wash away my sins. May your loving care be upon me as I walk in the path you have set before me, I pray in Jesus, my Savior's name. Amen

He will be the sure foundation for your times

​The Lord is exalted, for he dwells on high; he will fill Zion with his justice and righteousness. He will be the sure foundation for your times, a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge; the fear of the Lord is the key to this treasure. Isaiah 33:5-6 Lord, be gracious to us; we long for you. Be our strength every morning, our salvation in time of distress, give us wisdom and knowledge and lead us to the path of righteousness. Let us remember that this world is only temporary, O God, and in you, we can have the key to treasures that will last for eternity, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Faith comes by hearing

​So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
