Quote: Become a possibilitarian. No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see possibilities - - always see them for they're always there.~ Norman Vincent Peale {submitted by Rev. Nancy} Lamentations 3:22-25 NASB The LORD'S lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, For His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. "The LORD is my portion," says my soul, "Therefore I have hope in Him." The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, To the person who seeks Him. Prayer: O God, Terrible things may happen but Your mercies are new each day. Though my troubles may multiply, Your portion multiplies even more. Your lovingkindness is without end. Praise be Your name. Amen.

Quote: C. S. Lewis said true guilt is an inner alarm system that reveals sin in our lives and shows our loss of fellowship with God. The Holy Spirit uses guilt to prompt us to turn from our sin and back to the Lord. ~ Luis Palau Romans 8:1-2 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. Prayer: O God, Thank you for the inner alarm system of guilt which reveals the sin in my life. May I take note and take action. I will walk after the Spirit and no longer my flesh. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.

Quote: Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. ~ Leo Buscaglia {submitted by Rev. Nancy} Ephesians 4:32 NASB Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you. Prayer: My Savior, You gave me an example to follow. You clearly demonstrated the power of touch, a smile, kind words, a listening ear and how they dramatically change lives. May I imitate you in all of my relationships with others that they may be blessed and find healing. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.

Quote: It is a peculiar quality of a fool to perceive the faults of others, and to forget his own. ~Cicero {submitted by Chaplain Michael Clark} Matthew 7:3-5 ESV "Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye." Prayer: O God, If I start to pull others down because of their faults, turn my thoughts to my own self. Guide me with Your Holy Spirit as I ponder: What areas of my life need improvement? What faults can be changed into attributes? In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.

Quote: There is more healing joy in five minutes of worship than there is in five nights of revelry. ~ A. W.

Prayer: My Father, I worship and adore You. May each day I live and every action I take be an act of worship. Amen.

Quote: God has included you in his plans; Have you included God in yours? Revelation 22:14 Blessed are they who do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life. Prayer: Almighty God, I admit that I have so many plans in which I have excluded You. Instead I must seek Your counsel before laying any plans. And during the implementation I must prayerfully continue to ask guidance so that I do not go astray. Thank you for always being with me to guide and protect. Amen.

Quote: No single piece of our mental world is to be hermetically sealed off from the rest, and there is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry: "Mine!" ~ Abraham Kuyper Psalm 136:3 NASB Give thanks to the Lord of lords, For His lovingkindness is everlasting. Prayer: My Savior, You are Lord of every atom of my entire being. You rule my thoughts, my emotions and my body. You are Sovereign or me. I am entirely Yours. Amen.

Quote: Until we taste the bitterness of our own misery, we will never relish the sweetness of God's mercy. ~ William Secker Job 23:10 NASB "But He knows the way I take; When He has tried me, I shall come forth as gold." Prayer: O God, Sometimes I have to suffer great pain so that I can fully experience the sweetness of Your mercy. Without knowing the depths of suffering, it is impossible to appreciate the heights of grace. Amen.

Quote: To be grateful is to recognize the Love of God in everything. He has given us -- and He has given us everything. Every breath we draw is a gift of His love, every moment of existence is a grace, for it brings with it immense graces from Him. Gratitude therefore takes nothing for granted, is never unresponsive, is constantly awakening to new wonder and to praise of the goodness of God. For the grateful man knows that God is good, not by hearsay but by experience. And that is what makes all the difference. ~ Thomas Merton, Thoughts in Solitude {submitted by Rev. Nancy} Psalm 23:5 My cup runneth over. Prayer: My Maker, You are the Source of all things. I experience Your grace and mercy new each day. My heart overflows with gratitude even in the midst of challenges. For I know that my Savior lives! Amen.

Quote: God did not choose us because we were worthy, but by choosing us He makes us worthy. ~ Thomas Watson Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Prayer: Father God, I am unworthy. I fall short of the glory of God every day. But that is precisely why Christ died for me; so that I would be redeemed, sanctified and restored. I cannot do it on my own, but I can do all things through Christ Who Strengthens me and gave Himself for me. Amen.

Quote: God does not employ the word, "Impossible." {submitted by Rev. Nancy} Matthew 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. Prayer: O Lord, When I become fearful or at a loss for what to do, remind me that all things are possible with You. Help me to let go of my concerns as I learn to rest in Your loving arms. Amen.

Quote: The truly humble man will seek to be filled with all the fullness of God, knowing that when so led there is not the slightest place for pride or for self. ~ George Bowen James 4:6 ESV But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, "God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble." Prayer: Father God, Help me to put off all false pride and self-absorption so that I can make room for fullness of You. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.

Quote: If God is at work, you cannot help rejecting your independence and coming to Him. You will place your trust in Him because there is nothing else left to trust. ~ Jim Elliff Isaiah 26:4 Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength. Prayer: My Lord and my God, I have come to the end of myself. Hard headed independence has only lead me into the darkness. The more I place my trust in You, the more I am brought out into the light. May I trust in You always for all things. Amen.

Quote: Let us look attentively into our hearts, look into the written word, and look up to God for the light of the Spirit to shine upon the heart and the word. Whatever we discover in us contrary to the word, let us bring it before the Lord, (for we cannot take it away ourselves,) and plead with him until we feel power to venture on Jesus for its destruction. ~ John Smith Leviticus. 11:44 "Be holy, for I am holy..." Prayer: Heavenly Father, Help me to discover everything within me that is contrary to Your Word. And when I find these things, lead me to bring them before You in repentance knowing that You will restore me to wholeness. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.

Quote: When Satan tempts you to doubt whether you will be kept from falling, you should tell Satan that you cannot despair when you look at the cross. ~ J. C. Ryle 1 Corinthians 1:18 ESV For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. Prayer: Heavenly Father, Keep my eyes focused on the cross and all that it stands for so that I never despair. As Your power infills me I am strengthened and edified. Amen
