Quote: When I was young I was sure of everything; in a few years, having been mistaken a thousand times, I was not half so sure of most things as I was before; at present, I am hardly sure of anything but what God has revealed to me. ~ John Wesley 1 Corinthians 2:10 NIV But God has revealed it to us by His Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him? In the same way, no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. Prayer: My Lord, I laugh when I remember how sure I used to be of everything. Now I see clearly that there is only One that is sure, One Who can be trusted and One Who loves me unconditionally. You are the Author and Creator of all things. I praise You at all times and in all circumstances. Amen.

Quote: The strength that comes from confidence can be quickly lost to conceit. {submitted by Rev. Nancy} Philippians 2:3-4 ESV Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Prayer: Heavenly Father, Cleanse me of all conceit, excessive pride and vanity. Help me to dig deep into my inner being and see things clearly so I may make the needed changes. Make me a more godly person that I may be a blessing to others and bring joy to You. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.

Quote: Disaster only brings the Christian closer to God. Nasty surprises or twists and turns of plot do not deter us from the path we tread. Because of the cross, we may march through earthly jungles, deserts, gardens, cities, but we are on a heavenly trek. No matter what our journeys lead us through, we always end up in God. From where we stand now, our future may look dreadful, exciting, boring, but we may rest assured that we are in better hands than our own if we simply give our future to Christ. ~ Leslie Williams, Night Wrestling John 10:27-28 ESV "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand." Prayer: O God, The path is not easy but it is the heavenly trek. I give this day and all coming days to Christ that I may follow in His footsteps. Amen.

Quote: Some think Christ so distant and their prayers so ineffective that they describe it this way, “I feel like my prayers are reaching only the ceiling and bouncing back to me.” However, since Christ is in us, that bounce means he hears our prayer twice! Great efficiency. ~ Gayle Erwin John 16:24 Ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. Prayer: O Lord, When I think my prayers are bouncing off of the ceiling remind me that they are indeed being heard twice! Amen.

Quote: God often comforts us, not by changing the circumstances of our lives, but by changing our attitude towards them. ~ S. H.B. Masterman Psalm 51:12 ESV Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit. Prayer: Gracious Lord, You have shown me time and again that it is not my circumstances that need changing but instead my attitude toward them. I will hold this truth in my heart as I face adversity. Amen.

Quote: The temptation to disconnect from that deep place in you where God dwells and to let yourself be drowned in the praise or the blame of the world always remains. ~ Henri J. M. Nouwen Mark 8:36-38 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. Prayer: Heavenly Father, Lead me to put You, Your Word and Your Will first and foremost in my life. All things must be measured by You. The praise and blame of the world is fleeting and means little in comparison. Amen.

Quote: Whatever trial you are experiencing today, cling to God and He will restore you completely! ~ Chaplain Michael Clark Joshua 22:5 Only be very careful to observe the commandment and the law that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways and to keep his commandments and to cling to him and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul. Prayer: My Lord, I will hold on to You tenaciously just as a little child clings to its mother. And just as child follows closely behind, I shall walk in all of Your ways and keep Your commandments. Amen.

Quote: The individual is capable of both great compassion and great indifference. He has it within his means to nourish the former and outgrow the latter. ~ Norman Cousins 1Peter 3:8 ESV Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind. Prayer: O God, Indifference can lead quickly to apathy. Stoke the fires of my heart and soul that I become passionate about others and burn to help when I am able. And may I do this all in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Quote: Obstacles are those frightening things we see when we temporarily lose our faith. {submitted by Rev. Nancy} Deuteronomy 31:8 And the LORD, He it is that doth go before thee; He will be with thee, He will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed. Prayer: Heavenly Father, Something becomes an obstacle when I believe I have to remove it, I have to surmount it or I have to circumvent it. Obstacles melt when I realize that You are the One Who enables me to overcome. Amen.

Quote: A judicious friend, into whose heart we may pour out our souls, and tell our corruptions as well as our comforts, is a very great privilege. ~ George Whitefield Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. Prayer: Father, Thank you for my believing friends in whom I can confide. Their willingness to listen to me and their patience in guiding me is a true blessing. May I in turn bless others who need a helping hand. Amen.

Quote: Build a little fence of trust around today, Fill the space with loving deeds and therein stay; Look not through the sheltering bars upon tomorrow, God will help thee bear what comes of joy or sorrow. ~ Mary Frances Butts {submitted by Rev. Nancy} 2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Quote: We must make the choice to rejoice. I am saying that God is good, and even when things are not good, He works them for our good. If you believe this is true, your faith in God will relieve you from a host of dark and dangerous attitudes. God is Who He says He is. Even if we don't know all the details along the way, we trust that He is good. ~ Francis Frangipane Ezra 8:22 "The hand of our God is for good on all who seek him..." Prayer: Father, May my faith always bubble forth in rejoicing as I trust in You and never doubt. In the precious name of Jesus I pray. Amen.

Quote: The man who gazes upon and contemplates day by day the face of the Lord Jesus Christ, and who has caught the glow of the reality that the Lord is not a theory but an indwelling power and force is his life, is as a mirror reflecting the glory of the Lord....He has caught the glow and is reflecting it. We all reflect as in a mirror. Has anything been getting through to your life? - any light, any reflection, any glow? ~ Alan Redpath John 1:45 ESV In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. Prayer: Lord Above, You are the Light of life and all men. May I be a mirror that reflects Your glory to others who are in darkness. And if my glow starts to dim, lead me to ponder Your face and infill me ever more with Your Holy Spirit. Amen
