The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right

If you want to enjoy life and see many happy days, keep your tongue from speaking evil and your lips from telling lies. Turn away from evil and do good. Search for peace, and work to maintain it. The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right, and his ears are open to their prayers. 1 Peter 3:10-12 Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer, help me search for peace and do what is right in your eyes. Set a guard over my mouth, keep watch over the door of my lips, do not let my mouth lead me into sin. Help me be swift to hear, slow to answer, O God, may my words be kind and gracious and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Send me your light and your faithful care

Send me your light and your faithful care, let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy mountain, to the place where you dwell. Psalms 43:3 Merciful Father in heaven, light my path, teach me your way, lead me in the straight path that leads to your throne of grace. Help me be your sunbeam that others may know you and see you through in me, O God. Walk with me and keep me in your faithful care as I put my trust in you, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13 Lord of heaven and earth, you are the God of hope, who gives peace to those who trust in you and love you. I ask that your hope and joy overflow in my heart each and every day, O Lord, that you will bless me, fill me with your Holy Spirit. Give me endurance and encouragement as I focus on you and your eternal kingdom, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them? Psalm 8:3-4 Creator of heaven and earth, how majestic is your name in all the earth, the heavens declare your majesty, your greatness and your power. When I consider this I wonder why would you care about each one of us on this earth, and you were willing to send your precious Son to die for us. I thank you for being our loving, merciful and forgiving Father, who loves us and embrace us when we come to you in full repentance. Keep me close to you and never let go, O Lord, continue to bless and love me with your everlasting love, I pray in Jesus' precious name. Amen

Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart

​ Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun. Psalm 37:4-6 Lord God, I delight in you, your Word and your promises, I thank you for being faithful and loving, and for loving me as I am. I come to you in repentance and accept your free gift of salvation through your son, Jesus, I commit my way to yours. Give me hunger for your Word and a heart for the lost, O God, I ask you to remove from my heart anything that is unrighteous in your eyes, take the desires of my heart and replace them with yours, fill me with your Spirit that my desires become yours, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety

​ Many, Lord, are asking, “Who will bring us prosperity?” Let the light of your face shine on us. Fill my heart with joy when their grain and new wine abound. In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety. Psalm 4:8 Lord God, lift up the light of your countenance upon me and fill my heart with joy and peace. Keep reminding me that you are bigger than anything I may face each day, O Lord, let me feel your presence near and your loving hand upholding me. May I lie down and sleep and wake up with peace, knowing that the Creator of the universe is watching over me and I should not fear, but trust, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

​Fear the Lord your God and serve him

​Fear the Lord your God and serve him. Hold fast to him and take your oaths in his name. He is the one you praise; he is your God. Deuteronomy 10:20-21 Faithful and loving Lord in heaven, you are Lord of all Lords and you have called us to worship you and serve you, you equip us for the work you have planned for us. Please give us discerning and obedient hearts as we faithfully seek you. Help us surrender our lives to you, O God, that we may enjoy the fullness of your amazing love and abundant blessings, use us to be a blessing to others, use us for your kingdom, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen
