![]() Quote: If we endeavor, like people of courage, to stand in the battle, surely we should feel the favourable assistance of God from heaven. For He who gives us occasion to fight to the end that we may get the victory, is ready to help those that fight mightily, and trust in His grace. ~ Thomas a Kempis {adapted} Isaiah 41:10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of My righteousness. Prayer: Blessed Lord, When I stand and fight in battles of life, I can rely on You to provide the victory. Alone, I can do nothing but when I rely on You, I am given the superhuman strength and courage that enables me to overcome. Thank you Jesus. Amen.

Quote: We do God's work for our brothers and sisters when we learn to listen to them. So often Christians...think that their only service is always to have to "offer" something when they are together with other people. They forget that listening can be a greater service than speaking. ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer 2 Corinthians 13:14 May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Prayer: Father, Make me more compassionate toward others. May I always be more willing to listen and not so quick to offer advice. Healing comes more quickly for those who are allowed to pour out their hearts and troubles. Amen.

Quote: Hem your blessings with gratitude Lest they unravel. {submitted by Rev. Nancy} Psalm 69:30 I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify Him with thanksgiving. Prayer: Father God, Thank You for the many blessings that You go generously bestow upon me. Yes, I may have difficulties and trials but they are always more than balanced by my blessings. I will hem my blessings with gratitude each day. Amen.

Quote: They lose nothing who gain Christ. ~ Samuel Rutherford Philippians 4:19 ESV And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Prayer: My Lord, I used to think that if I followed You I would have to leave behind so much. The exact opposite has happened. I have gained ALL! I praise You for the rich blessings that have far exceeded my wildest dreams. Amen.

Quote: When you're in a pit, there is no gimmick, slogan, or saying that will get you out --sometimes there's not even another person who can help. Sometimes the only thing you can do is go right back to God. ~ Chaplain Michael Clark Psalm 103:2-5 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's. Prayer: My Lord, Thank You for always being there for me. Other people, places and things ultimately do fail. But You are steadfast and full of grace. Thank You for blessing me so. Amen.

Quote: Giving God control of our lives is not a sign of weakness, but it is the greatest show of strength we will ever make. Under the guidance of God, we become conquerors in a world that tries hard to break us down. ~ Chaplain Michael Clark Romans 8:37-39 ESV No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Prayer: Lord Jesus, It is in surrendering that I become an overcomer. It is in giving all control over to You that I become free, free indeed. Nothing can separate me from the Love of God. Amen!

Quote: God is not one who is far away, nor is he eager to punish us for our failures. No, He is a Father who loves us more than we could ask to be loved. God, the creator of the universe, the one who made all things out of nothing, loves us. He wants to care for us, share His divine life with us, and bring us to a perfect union with Him for all eternity. We know with our mind that God loves us, but we must also be convinced in our hearts so that we can respond to His great love. ~ D. Rosage I Peter 4:10 As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. Prayer: O God, Convince me in the depths of my heart so that I can respond to Your great love. Amen.

Quote: You are who you are and what you are because of what has gone into your mind. You can change who you are and what you are by changing what goes into your mind. ~ Zig Ziglar 2 Cor 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. Prayer: Dear God, Help me to read, see and comprehend things that are godly and will nurture my spirit. May I reject all that is ungodly. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.

Quote: No one got anywhere without taking the first step. Luke 9:23 And he said to all, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. Prayer: My Savior, Changes need to be made in my life. You show me the path to righteousness. Help me today as I take the first steps onto that new road. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.

Quote: If we lose God, It is not God who is lost. {submitted by Rev. Nancy} Psalm 119:176 I have gone astray like a lost sheep; Prayer: My Lord, If I loose You, help me to find my way back to You. Make my path before me clear. Be my guiding light. Amen.

Quote: The person without self-control is easy prey to the invader. He yields himself to the first assault of his ungoverned passions, offering no resistance... Having no discipline over himself, temptation becomes the occasion of sin, and hurries him on to fearful lengths that he had not contemplated. ~ Charles Bridges Psalm 119:9-11 How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to your word. With my whole heart I seek you; let me not wander from your commandments! I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you. Prayer: Dear Father, I look to You to provide me with the strength for proper self-control. Help me to recognize temptation for what it is and edify me that I stand strong. I am a new creation in Jesus Christ, behold the old has passed away. Amen.

Quote: Like the butterfly transforming into a caterpillar, it’s the struggle that gives you the strength to live a life of character that God wants. And that character is what produces the hope that you have. ~ Chaplain Michael Clark 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. Prayer: O God, When I am struggling, remind me of the caterpillar being transformed into a butterfly. Yes, there is unbearable pain but the end result is regeneration into someone who is beautiful and more Christ-like. Amen.

Quote: Repentance is the biblical, correct response to guilt. The moment we committed our life to Christ, our sins-past, present, and future-were forgiven. God's righteousness was satisfied. But now we must maintain fellowship with, dependence on, and obedience to God. This necessitates confessing our sins to our Lord as we become aware of them.~ Luis Palau Deuteronomy 4:30-31 When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto His voice; For the LORD thy God is a merciful God; He will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which He sware unto them. Prayer: Heavenly Father, Lead me to repentance that comes from deep within my heart. I will trust, obey and depend upon You for cleansing of my sins, total removal of them and full restoration. Thank you Lord. Amen.
