Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the many You have saved by faith in Jesus Christ. Please help us to seek the things above. We need Your help to put what is most important first. This earth has many distractions and we are prone to fall into what is not worth Your purpose for us. Thank You for the reminder that our lives are permanently a part of Christ’s. We praise You for Your wonderful gift of salvation.
I pray this in Jesus’ name.
God is so good.
Dear Heavenly Father, this commandment seems difficult. You love perfectly. You send us the blessings of sunsets and special times with friends. You also allow challenges like health issues and human conflict. All of those are a part of Your love. We often think of love as the positives of a hug, a special gift, or a positive interaction. Sometimes we need to have a tough conversation or show someone how they are wrong. We often don’t know what love really looks like in this situation. Please guide our study of Your Word to learn more about how You love so we can imitate that.
I pray this in Jesus’ name.
God is so good.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the hope You give. We rejoice in the comfort hope provides. Please help us to persevere though the difficulties we face. We come to You in prayer. Please help us to remain dedicated to prayer as You have commanded. We know Your commands are always right.
I pray this in Jesus’ name.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the many blessings You give. We have many ways to rejoice. Your creation is beautiful. The flowers are in full bloom right now and we can enjoy the beauty. The sunsets are beautiful artwork. Thank You for providing daily bread as well as extra joys along the way. I continue to pray for the needs You have allowed me to know. Please provide and help us to praise and thank You for the provision.
I pray this in Jesus’ name.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the description Nahum gives of Your power. I praise Your Holy character. You only use Your power to hold the wicked accountable and protect the righteous. Please guide us to seek You first for the help and protection we need. Our lives seem so unsafe to us. Please remind us of Your strength and how You use it.
I pray this in Jesus’ name.
God is so good.
