Father, help us to labor wholeheartedly as for you primarily, and for others secondarily. We want to bless You with a grateful attitude and bless our workplace in regard to our productivity and loyalty, especially when there is sacrifice involved. Thank You for our daily provision and blessing that […]

Father, thank You for sending Jesus to be an atoning sacrifice for our sins.  At just the right time, while we were still powerless and dead in our trespasses, Christ died for us.  Through His sacrificial death we are reconciled to You, our loving Father.  Just as many in the human race died by […]

Father, grant us strength and courage as we face the many decisions to divert from Your plan of truth and righteousness.
