The Eyes of Faith....

Set aside the cares and concerns of your day and rest in the presence of God, who is with you at this moment.

Colossians 3:17:
And whatever you do, in word or
deed, do everything in the name of
the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to
God the Father through him.

Loving God, I am so very grateful for the gift and grace of faith in my life. May that gift continue to bear fruit, so that I might be a light for those in darkness....

....also Loving God, I know that you want to help me live in right relationship with you and others. Help me to know your will and have the courage to change my ways. Amen.

God's living Care...

Genesis 2:9
Out of the ground the LORD God made various trees grow that were delightful to look at and good for food, with the tree of life in the middle of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and bad.

God saw to it that creation meets our every need. In this passage from Genesis, we find the tree of life at the center of Eden. God's care and love for us are manifested not only in the life he gives us today but also in his desire for us to share eternal life with him. Each day we are called to praise God for his love in the way we love each other.

How can I better learn to trust in God to fill my needs?

How can I praise God in the way I treat others?

Bountiful God, give me the peace to share generously, trusting in your abundant blessings to meet all of my needs. Amen.

Hope...

I place no hope in my strength,
nor in my works:
but all my confidence is in God my protector,
who never abandons those who have
put all their hope and thought in Him.
