Day 8

Jesus—the Good Shepherd

January 17, 2022 • Will McCain • John 10:9–11

Scripture: John 10:9-11
“Yes, I (Jesus) am the gate. Those who come in through me will be saved. They will come and go freely and will find good pastures. The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd sacrifices his life for the sheep.”

Today's Prayer:
Jesus, You know how to take good care of Your sheep, and You take good care of me. You protect me, provide for me, care for me, love me, and You guide and rescue me when I can’t find my way. There is an enemy who wants to steal, kill and destroy my life, but he can’t get to me because of You. Jesus, You came to give me abundant life, a rich and satisfying life, found only in You. My life is not my own—it belongs to You—so use it for Your glory and Your purpose. Help me listen for Your voice and follow after You. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Day 21

January 30, 2022 • Will & Teresa McCain • John 20:30–31

Scripture: John 20:30-31 The disciples saw Jesus do many other miraculous signs in addition to the ones recorded in this book. But these are written so that you may continue to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing in him you will have life by the power of his name. Today's Prayer: Father, thank You for the Gospel of John written through the power of the Holy Spirit and Your faithful disciple, John. By sending Jesus, You demonstrated Your great love to Your disciples and to all of us who would follow, that He is the Messiah sent to take away the sins of the world and give us eternal life through Jesus Christ. The miracles of Jesus are so numerous this book could not record all of them, for the bible says that “the whole world could not contain the books that would be written” about the marvelous works of Jesus Christ. Every day, help me to continue to believe in the works of Jesus Christ in my life and in those around me, and in the power of his wonderful name. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Day 20

January 29, 2022 • John 20:26–29

Scripture: John 20:26-29 A week later the disciples were together again. This time, Thomas was with them. Jesus came in while the doors were still locked and stood in the middle of the group. He greeted his disciples and said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and look at my hands! Put your hand into my side. Stop doubting and have faith!” Thomas replied, “You are my Lord and my God!” Jesus said, “Thomas, do you have faith because you have seen? The people who have faith in me without seeing me are the ones who are really blessed!” Today's Prayer: Jesus said, “Blessed are those who have faith without seeing me!” So, thank You, Father, for giving me the faith to believe in Jesus without seeing Him. Thank You for blessing my life so abundantly through Jesus and for giving me the Holy Spirit to help me keep believing even when things are difficult, and I don’t see all the answers to my prayers. I know You love me, Father, and You are for me, and by faith I trust that You are working all things out for my good. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Day 19

January 28, 2022 • Kristin Tabak • John 17:3

Scripture: John 17:3 And this is the way to have eternal life—to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the one you sent to earth. Today's Prayer: Father, eternal life is found in knowing and experiencing You, the only true God, and receiving Jesus Christ, the One You sent. I pray for all of my unsaved family and loved ones, friends and co-workers right now to experience Your love and receive Jesus Christ into their hearts as their Lord and Savior this year. I bind the enemy who blinds the minds from believing in You and receiving Jesus in their hearts right now in the mighty name of Jesus. Send ministers and Christ-followers to them to share the Good News and the amazing grace of Jesus with them. Send me, Father, to those who need to hear how You have intervened in my life through the saving power of Jesus Christ. Holy Spirit, help me to be on alert and be ready to share my story of faith with those you bring across my path. Father, I am Your vessel, and I am ready and willing to be used by You. In Jesus Name, Amen.
