God teaches you what is good for you and leads you along the paths you should follow

“I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is good for you and leads you along the paths you should follow. Isaiah 48:17 Sovereign Lord, my Redeemer, help me to know your ways, teach me your paths, lead me in your truth, be my refuge and my fortress. May I have peace flowing like a gentle river as I follow you and walk in you ways, O Lord. Help me surrender my will to you, be fully obedient, gentle and righteous in your eyes, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen 

No one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end

He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. Ecclesiastes 3:11 Mighty Lord, thank you for reminding us of your great power, mercy, grace and love. Thank you for always watching over us and for setting eternity in our hearts. Your ways are so far above ours, and we cannot see the plans you have for us, Lord, but please give us faith to trust beyond our sight, and to know that you will make everything beautiful in its perfect time, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Blessed is the man who fears the Lord

Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,  who delights greatly in His commandments.  His descendants will be mighty on earth;  The generation of the upright will be blessed.  Wealth and riches will be in his house,  and his righteousness endures forever.  Psalm 112:1-2 Lord, you are gracious, full of compassion, and righteous and I thank you for your promises and your everlasting love.  May I delight in your ways and your laws, O God, may my wealth and riches be in blessings upon my family and my generations,  and may I bring honor and glory to you each day I am alive, I pray in Jesus' name.  Amen   

the tongue is a small part of the body Consider what a great forest is set on fire

Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. James 3:5 Lord and Father in heaven, thank you for being my God, my hope and my fortress. Help me be mindful of what comes out of my mouth, help me be peace-loving and considerate, may no corrupt words come out of my lips, guard them that they may give you honor and build up others, not tear down, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

You must live as God’s obedient children

Amen

Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour

Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. 1 Peter 5:8-9 Mighty Lord in heaven, God of grace and mercy, you are Holy, just and full of compassion. I ask that you help me resist the schemes of the enemy, help me stand firm, restore me, strengthen me and save me, O Lord. Fill me with your godliness, peace and joy regardless of what goes on around me, remind me that my strength and joy come from you and not the world, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen
