Quote: We need God's overcoming power within us to equal the pressure being applied upon us from outside forces. We can't rely upon yesterday's experience with God or we will collapse. God's plan isn't always to remove outside pressures, but rather to fill us with his overcoming power and strength. ~ Chaplain Michael Clark Isaiah 41:10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of My righteousness. Prayer: Heavenly Father, Sustain me each and every day according to my needs. I can trust that Your provision is just enough for the rigors of this day. Thank you for always caring for me. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.

Quote: Give us, O Lord, steadfast hearts that cannot be dragged down by false loves; give us courageous hearts that cannot be worn down by trouble; give us righteous hearts that cannot be sidetracked by unholy or unworthy goals. Give to us also, our Lord and God, understanding to know You, wisdom to recognize You, and a faithfulness that will bring us to see You face to face. Amen. ~ Thomas a Kempis Psalm 112:7 His heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD. Prayer: O God, I used to believe that surrendering to Your will would limit my freedom. But now I see that my own will held me in bondage. You have set me free.....free indeed! Amen.

Quote: Wealth, after all, is a relative thing; One who has little and wants less is richer than one who has much and wants more. ~ Charles Caleb Colton (adapted) {submitted by Rev. Nancy} Mark 8:36-37 NASB For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul? For what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Prayer: Heavenly Father, Thank You for providing me with just enough material wealth to get by and plentiful spiritual riches to see me through eternity. Amen.

Quote: As a sound may dislodge an avalanche, so the prayer of faith sets in motion the power of God. ~ Mrs. Charles E. Cowman James 5:15 And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Prayer: Lord Jesus, Make all of my prayers, prayers of faith that come from the heart and are grounded in Your Word. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.

Quote: There are two kinds of people: Those who say to God, "Thy will be done," And those to whom God says, "All right, then, have it your way." ~ C.S. Lewis Matthew 6:10 ESV Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Prayer: O God, Forgive me for the many times I have said, "OK, Have it Your way!" My pride stood between You and I. You are omniscient and omnipotent. You always know what is best. Help me to gladly say "They will be done." In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.

Quote: We have to be so one with God that we do not continually need to ask for guidance. Sanctification means that we are made the children of God, and the natural life of a child is obedience... ~ Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest Genesis 24:27 AMP As for me, going on the way [of obedience and faith] the Lord led me... Prayer: Lord, Help me to always be one with You. I want to be walking in unison with You; thinking Your thoughts and willingly obeying in all things. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.

Quote: You can often help others more by correcting your own faults than theirs. Remember, and you should, because of your own experience, that allowing God to correct your faults is not easy. Be patient with people, wait for God to work with them as He wills. ~ Francois Fenelon 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: Dear Father, Help me to be patient with others as they work to change their lives. Make me an eager and loving listener as I encourage them to recover. Enable me to sweep my side of the street so that I may be a shining light to others who are trying to find their way. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.

Quote: It's more important to have something to live for, than plenty to live on. 2 Corinthians 5:15 NASB And He died for all, so that they who live might no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf. Prayer: My Lord Jesus, I have been crucified with You; and it is no longer I who live, but You Who lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in You - the Son of God - who loved me and gave Yourself up for me. Amen.

Quote: Remember, that to receive the word in the ear is one thing, and to receive Jesus into your very soul is quite another; superficial feeling is often joined to inward hardness of heart, and a lively impression of the word is not always a lasting one. ~ Charles H. Spurgeon {adapted} Luke 8:13-15 "Those on the rocky soil are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no firm root; they believe for a while, and in time of temptation fall away. The seed which fell among the thorns, these are the ones who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with worries and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to maturity. But the seed in the good soil, these are the ones who have heard the word in an honest and good heart, and hold it fast, and bear fruit with perseverance." Prayer: O Lord, Make the soil of my soul fertile and willing to accept the seed of Your Word that it may not just grow and blossom but flourish. Help me to hear Your Word with an honest and good heart, holding it fast, that I bear much fruit with perseverance. Amen.

Quote: The meek man is not a human mouse afflicted with a sense of his own inferiority. Rather he may be in his moral life as bold as a lion and as strong as Samson; but he has stopped being fooled about himself. He has accepted God's estimate of his own life. He knows he is as weak and helpless as God declared him to be, but paradoxically, he knows at the same time that he is in the sight of God of more importance than angels. In himself, nothing; in God, everything. That is his motto. ~ A. W. Tozer Isaiah 29:19 ESV The meek shall obtain fresh joy in the LORD. Prayer: Father, Thank you for teaching me the true meaning of meekness. Amen.

Quote: The true Christian reaction to suffering and sorrow is not the attitude of self-pity, fatalism or resentment; it is the spirit which takes life's difficulties as a God given opportunity, and regards its troubles as a sacred trust, and wears the thorns as a crown. ~ James Stewart Psalm 69:29 But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high. Prayer: My Lord, Self-pity only acts to keep me low and builds resentment. May Your Holy Spirit lead me to see life's difficulties as God given opportunities, as a sacred trust that I may be a victor in Jesus Christ. Amen.

Quote: God is not looking for perfection; He is looking for and rewarding perseverance. Don't give up the pursuit. Hang in there. Try again and again, because the reward is great and it pleases God. ~ Chaplain Michael Clark James 1:12 NASB Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. Prayer: Father, Forgive me when I fall into self-pity because I have fallen short of perfection. Lead me to persevere. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit that I am renewed and soar as an eagle. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.

Quote: How do you respond when you experience suffering? Do you pray to be delivered from it? Are you angry with God because He doesn't appear to hear you or respond to your pain? Do you pull away, distancing yourself from Him because you feel rejected? Jesus responded with "reverent submission" and because of it, "He was heard" when He "offered up prayers and petitions...to the one who could save Him." We, too, are heard when we cry out to God. ~ Julie Roe Psalm 34:17 The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; He delivers them from all their troubles. Prayer: My Lord, Forgive me when I try to isolate myself from You, suffering in silence. Your Word reveals countless examples of believers crying out and You lovingly responding to them. May I employ the gift of prayer as You mean it to be used. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.

Quote: You can tell the size of your God By looking at the length of your worry list. The longer your list, the smaller your God. {submitted by Rev. Nancy} Psalm 40:4 Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust. Prayer: Dear God, Keep me mindful of the length of my worry list. It should never be so long that I turn to it, instead of relying on you. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.

Quote: Use what talents you possess: The woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best. ~ Henry Van Dyke {submitted by Rev. Nancy} Job 33:4 The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life. Prayer: My God, You created me in Your image. Remind me who I am in Christ. I may not do everything perfectly but I can do it to the best of my ability. Amen.
