PRAYER POINT

"Father God, thank You for the Scriptures that were written for our instruction. Thank You for the hope and encouragement I can gain as I read about Your Word. Lord, I know Your Word is filled with promises that I believe You will keep and make happen. Grant me the blessing to be a faithful disciple in believing the Word of God and that I may be a light shining upon all who are in darkness. In Jesus' name, Amen."

GOING DEEPER Read and study Matthew 7:11, Hebrews 11:6, and Romans 8:25. WALK IT OUT The truth is that we won’t have to wait long for new opportunities that will help stretch our patience.

If you feel inferior, insignificant, or unworthy, be reminded that Jesus came at Christmas to live the life that would be given for YOU. PRAYER POINT "Father, thank You for the gift of Jesus. Thank You for the gift of life and new life in Christ. Thank You for the grace to give myself more fully to God’s plans and purposes for my life. You are worthy of all I am and all I have. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen." GOING DEEPER Read and study Romans Chapter 6. WALK IT OUT Decide or rededicate yourself today to give your life to the Lord, not just as a one time salvation decision, but as an ongoing way to give back to God for all He has given you through Christ. SHARE WITH OTHERS Consider encouraging someone that the God of the whole universe eagerly desires a personal relationship with them.
