Lord, thank You for being ever-present in my life. And thank You for the hard times. I might not have said that then, but I see now how faithful You were (and are) to meet my needs. Help me walk so closely with You that I never return to my independent self. I love You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Thought of the Day

"Oh Lord, Thou hast told us how to pray. Help us to shut the door, shutting out the world, and the enemy and any fear or doubt which spoils prayer. May there be no distance between our souls and Thee." - John Wanamaker, American Merchant and U.S. Postmaster General from 1889-93

Pray then like this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil." Matthew 6:9-13

Dear Father God,
Sometimes I get frustrated and angry when I believe someone has wronged me, not lived up to their promises or let me down.
Help me to remember that people are not perfect. I pray that I will be someone who is always dependable, ethical, and honest.
I pray that You will help me to always do what is right, even when wronged. When I’m tempted to react in the flesh, please move in me through Your Holy Spirit so that I will remember to stop, take a deep breath, and pray. So that I may respond in a Christ-like manner.
In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.
