                         God in the Details

 The LORD is good to all: he has compassion on all he has made. Psalm145:9

 Loving Lord, I praise You for the wonder of Your creation. Help me to reflect Your compassion by taking care of what You have made.

                 God attends to our every need.

                                 Anywhere

 I remember the devotion of your youth, how as a bride you loved me and followed me through the wilderness. Jeremiah 2:2

 Dear God, help me to keep the promises I've made to You. I will follow You anywhere.

 You don't need to know where you're going if you know God is leading.

                          The Art of Forgiveness

While he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him. Luke 15:20

 Father, as we receive Your love and forgiveness, may we also extend it to others in Your name.

                                Hurry Not

 You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in You. Isaiah 26:3

 Lord God, You give the peace that pass all understanding, which is a gift I don't want to take for granted. Thank You.

       God peace helps us not to hurry.

                        Judging Origins

 The Spirit of the LORD came on Jephthah. Judges 11:29

 Lord, we take great comfort knowing that You don't show favoritism based on where we're from. Our heritage is found in You. Thank You for adopting us into Your family.

                               Learning to Know God

But he said to them," It is I; don't be afraid" John 6:20

 We can experience God's powerful presence even in the storms of our lives.

                              Just a Second

 How fleeting my life is. Psalm39:4

 Lord, thank You for each moment You give us. May we strive to honor You with this gift by using our time wisely for Your honor and glory.

             Don't just spend time-invest it.

                             Reason to Sing

 Sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done marvelous thing. Psalm 98:1

 Lord, You have done great things in my life.Even if my voice isn't one that would be heard on stage, I want to join the choir in thanking You for the amazing things You've done.

                                Into Our Storms

 He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, "Quiet !Be still" Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. Mark 4:39

 Lord, the storms of our lives sometimes seem like they will swamp us. Help us trust that You are the Master of the storm, to place our faith in You when life's winds blow fiercely.

   No danger  can come so near that God is not nearer still.

                                  When One Hurts, All Hurt

 If one part suffers, every part suffers with: it if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it. 1 Corinthians 12:26

         We're in this together.

                             Faith, Love, and Hope

 We always thank God for all of you. 1 Thessalonians 1:2

 Lord, may I this day have eyes to see others' needs, direction from You on any ways I might help, and the Spirit's power to obey. May I live out the faith, love, and hope You've given to me.

 The glory of life is to love, not to be loved: to give, not to get: to serve, not to be served. 

                                    How Long?

 How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide Your face from me? Psalm13:1

 In times of pain and loss, the timeless God is our greatest comfort.

                          Only by Prayer
