For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

I know that no one took your life from you, but you laid it down of your own accord. I know that it was not the nails that held you on that cross, but but my sins and your love for our Father and for us all. Help me not to stray like sheep, but live in righteousness, O Lord, be my Shepherd and Overseer of my soul and guide me to your side, I pray in your precious name. Amen

For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that your needs

So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.  Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matthew 6:31-34 Lord, forgive me for worrying and spending time thinking about things I have no control of instead of focusing on you and your kingdom, Father. Thank you for reminding me that I must put you first in my life and bring you honor and glory in all I do.

What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?

What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?

Matthew 16:26-27 Father God, thank you for reminding me that this world is only temporary and nothing in this earth is worth losing my soul and an eternity with you. Help me, O God, to walk according to your will, to be obedient and true to your word that I may share the wonderful reward in your kingdom, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen  

The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world

The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 2 Corinthians 10:4 Merciful Lord, I know there is nothing bigger or more powerful than you, I know that you have full power and authority over everything. Your Word is living and active, sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Help me demolish any strongholds in my life, O God, equip me for battle against any spiritual forces, feed my spirit with your Word and strengthen my faith daily, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen
