Heavenly Father, there is so much that we can learn from our temporary problems here on earth that better prepares us for eternity. As we work through these troubles, they enable us to have the mind of Christ so that attitudes reflecting the fruit of the Spirit become a spontaneous response to the difficulties that challenge us daily. Just as light, soil, air and moisture are requirements for growth in vegetation so must faith, prayer, self-denial and persistence in obeying God’s Holy Word be requirements for growth in our Christian walk. Help us not to become so caught up in viewing our daily challenges from an earthly perspective that we lose sight of our future home in heaven where no storm clouds ever gather. We stand in the strength of the Lord Jesus and in the power of His might, in Whose name we pray. Amen.

Heavenly Father, if it takes a fool to say there is no God, then I want to be numbered among the wise who early on believed this statement from You, "I am God in heaven above and on the earth below; there is no other." This is a declaration of my faith that’s been thoroughly tested throughout the centuries. During this universally hard time I confidently pledge my allegiance to You, an invisible God, but a visible power in my life, in the lives of others, and in the world. In the name of Jesus I ask and thank. Amen.

Though You are Creator, You have made us stewards and caretakers of that which You created. What a joy it is to plant a seed or seedling in the ground and watch as You also provide the carbon dioxide, rain, and sunshine to aid its health and growth. We affirm once again in our writings and prayer that You are the divine Creator of the universe and all things are in submission to Your creative power in accordance to Your will. In the name of Jesus we thank You for these life-sustaining blessings. Amen.

Instead I want to fix my thoughts upon the living hope I have in Jesus Christ my Lord. I anchor my soul in the bedrock of Your Holy Word so that when other viewpoints counter the truths prescribed in Your Word my anchor remains firm. When difficulties appear insurmountable remind me that I serve an extraordinary God who does not rely on natural solutions but works in the supernatural realm to meet each one of my needs. Your solutions to my problems are not subject to my scrutiny but rather I conform to Your leading and accept Your plan for my life. In doing so I am not tossed to and fro by wishful thinking but I am firmly grounded in the living hope of our resurrected Lord and Savior. It is in His name that we pray, Amen.

You know when I pass through the waters and You have promised to be with me; when I cross through the rivers they will not sweep over me. When I walk through the fire I will not be burned for You walk with me. Though trials may engulf me and tempt me to be paralyzed by fear, I can overcome the enemy of fear just as Jesus overcame the power of death. May the resurrected power of Jesus subside my fears and doubts while building my faith and trust in the Holy One of Israel. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.

When Jesus said, "If I be lifted up from the earth I will draw all men to Myself" He clearly understood His mission was to save people from every tribe and nation. People looking to be saved aren't interested in stained glassed windows, beautiful cathedrals, impressive preachers or world renown Christian artists. They wish to see Jesus, for only Jesus can save them from their sins. Only Jesus can deliver them from their dreadful state of hopelessness. Only Jesus sit at the right hand of God the Father. Only Jesus can be their personal Saviour and make it possible for them to spend eternity in heaven. Help us to show seekers the way to You, our Father, through Christ Jesus Your Son in whose name we pray. Amen.

Our steps here may lead to steep mountains or deep valleys. Crooked paths and rough terrain may be part of the journey, but ultimately we will rest where the steps of Jesus end at heaven’s throne. There we will no longer have questions about our future, for we know that we will spend eternity forever worshiping You and giving You glory, honor, praise, and thanksgiving. Grant us peace and joy for our journey here below, even through all the sickness and suffering. Help us to remain strong in you through all the violence going on world wide as we anticipate our future eternal inheritance. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen.

Just as David sought safety from King Saul by hiding in mountains and caves, I seek safety by hiding in You, the Rock that is higher than I. I have nothing to fear, nothing to panic over. When I am leaning on the everlasting arms of Jesus. What a blessing, what a peace of mind I have. No matter the chaos of the day when I lean safe and secure on the arms of Jesus. And there I will abide, for apart from You Lord, I can do nothing that calms my fears or prepares me for my eternal resting place. Thank You for loving me Jesus and taking my place on that cross. You, dying a death You did not deserve. I praise You Jesus and I pray in Your mighty name. Amen.

As He wept over Jerusalem we see His tender humanity in relation to our sin problem. How grateful we are that Jesus yielded Himself fully to be a sin sacrifice, once for all, not just for Jerusalem but for peoples of every tribe, tongue, and language; for all generations prior to His sacrificial death and for all who follow. Jesus' sacrifice was once for all adequate to satisfy Your justice and to supply forgiveness to all generations. Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! Thank You Jesus and in Your name we pray. Amen.

He gave His all that we might be saved from the eternal consequences of sin and have our names written in the Lamb's Book of Life. We have the blessed assurance that we are redeemed from sin and saved for eternity in heaven. Thank You for such wondrous love and abundant provision on our behalf. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
