Jesus, You call us to come unto You and find rest. We are to take Your yoke upon ourselves so that we are not walking in our limited strength, our imperfect wisdom, or our inadequate abilities. Instead we are yoked together with You, learning to walk in Your ways, following Your commandments which […]

Father, we thank You for Jesus who conquered death and is alive forevermore. And because He lives we live also. What hope and assurance this brings to all who repent and believe, to all who receive Your Son, Jesus, as their personal Savior. We worship “the faithful witness, the firstborn of the […]

Father, we fix our thoughts upon the living hope we have in Jesus Christ our Lord. We anchor our soul in the bedrock of Your Holy Word so that when other viewpoints or life’s circumstances seek to counter the truths You teach our anchor remains firm. When difficulties appear insurmountable remind […]

Father, the permanence and sting of death was done away with when You raised Christ Jesus from the dead. Had You sent ten thousand angels to rescue Him from the hands of His enemies and thwarted His execution on the cross we would not know of Your awesome power according to the Spirit of holiness

Though Jesus was dead He lives […]

Father, I glory in the Cross of Calvary from which Your Son, my Lord and Savior, died for my sins when the hour was come. I choose to boast only in Jesus who lifted the heavy chains from my enslaved soul which freed me to newness of life. Thank You, God, for demonstrating Your love

Father, reading all through the Bible, we see that good and evil co-exist. We also read of those who are half-heart-ed and those who are whole-heart-ed in their devotion to You. If we, as Your followers, choose to be half-heart-ed we give too much space in our hearts to Satan and his minions to have

Jesus, You are the Chief Cornerstone that provides for us the foundation on which we choose to build our spiritual lives. It’s in Your blood and righteousness that we place our hope and trust because the world all around us is like sinking sand. Thank You for being our firm foundation and for […]
