Quote: To search for wisdom apart from Christ means not simply foolhardiness but utter insanity. ~ John Calvin John 12:46 ESV I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness. Prayer: O Lord, The wisdom of this world is foolishness in Your sight. Proud men loudly proclaim their "insights" and "knowledge" while at the same time denigrating Your followers. My search for wisdom starts and ends with You and I am filled. Amen.

Quote: Never deliberate what is clearly wrong, and try to persuade yourself that it is not. ~ Frederick Temple 1 Corinthians 16:13 ESV Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Prayer: Gracious Savior, If I am "on the fence" debating with myself as to whether something is right or wrong, chances are it is very wrong. Keep me watchful that I stand firm in my convictions. In Your precious name I pray. Amen.

Quote: Prayer, for Jesus Christ, formed the brackets in which He accomplished His earthly work. It fortified Him with wisdom and power before action occurred, and it renewed, refreshed, and revived Him when His human strength was exhausted. On the front end He prayed for fruit, in the middle He bore fruit, and afterwards, He thanked God for fruit. ~ Dan Hayes Psalm 62:5-8 ESV For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him. He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken. On God rests my salvation and my glory; my mighty rock, my refuge is God. Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us. Selah Prayer: Heavenly Father, Keep me ever mindful that prayer is designed to fortify me with wisdom and power *before* I take action. Prayer renews, refreshes and revives me when exhausted. Remind me to always pray first. Amen.

Quote: Upon you I call, O God, who made me And did not forget me when I forgot you. ~ Augustine of Hippo (adapted) {submitted by Rev. Nancy} Psa 103:2-5 ESV Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

Quote: Our Lord has written the promise of the resurrection not in books alone, but in every leaf in springtime. ~ Martin Luther Romans 6:4 ESV We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. Prayer: My Creator, Thank you for the promises of renewal and rebirth. There is no end to Your love and grace. No matter how low I fall or how far I way I believe I am, You are always there to lift me up and draw me near. You are the resurrection and the life. Amen.

Quote: I think that if God forgives us we must forgive ourselves. Otherwise it is almost like setting up ourselves as a higher tribunal than Him. ~ Letters of C.S. Lewis, 19 April 1951 {submitted by Fran} Luke 6:36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. Prayer: O God, Help me to forgive my own self of my failures and short fallings. May I put aside all thoughts of self-condemnation. Help me to be at peace. Amen.

Quote: In Christ the enslaved find redemption, the guilty pardon, the unholy renovation; In Him is everlasting strength for the weak, unsearchable riches for the needy, treasures of wisdom and knowledge for the ignorant, fullness for the empty. ~ The Valley of the Vision {adapted} Romans 8:1-2 ESV There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. Prayer: O God, Thank you for redeeming me, pardoning me and renovating me. You provide strength when I am weak, riches when I am needy, wisdom when I am at a loss, fullness when I am empty. I praise Your holy name Amen.

Quote: Every time we experience a trial, the world watches to see the substance of our faith - watches to see if we maintain our love and devotion; watches to see if God will see us through this difficult time. There may often be no better way to minister to others than to simply praise God in the middle of our own trials - no better way to show that God is real than by making Him real in our own life. ~ Steve Troxel Hosea 6:1 Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for He hath torn, and He will heal us; He hath smitten, and He will bind us up. Prayer: O God, Make me a good witness to others. Be my provision in times of trial and my strength in times of weakness. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.

Quote: Our hope is not hung upon such an untwisted thread as, "I imagine so," or "It is likely," but the cable, the strong tow of our fastened anchor, is the oath and promise of Him who is eternal verity. Our salvation is fastened with God's own hand, and with Christ's own strength, to the strong stake of God's unchangeable nature. ~ Samuel Rutherford 1Corinthians 1:18 For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. Prayer: Thank you Jesus, For Your strong cable attached to the anchor of faith Thank you for Your promises and for my salvation. Amen.

Quote: The "dead hand of your past" cannot have any abiding over the present or the future unless we ourselves play puppet master to a dead hand. By itself, your past is impotent and powerless unless you breathe false life back into it. ~ Martin Selbrede, Chalcedon Foundation Heb 12:1-2 ...let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, Prayer: Dear Father, I will no longer drag the past into today. It is a dead hand. It is impotent. It is powerless. This day and every day from now on belongs to You. Amen!

Quote: Here they are, Lord Jesus, my hidden sins. I bring them out of the secret chamber of my heart. I take them out of the darkness and expose them to Your light. Lord, You have promised You will execute Your word upon the earth, thoroughly and quickly. Oh God, thoroughly cleanse my heart; purify me quickly! ~ Francis Frangipane Psalm 25:11 For your name's sake, O LORD, pardon my guilt, for it is great. Prayer: Father, I come before You this day to confess my sins. This burden has become too heavy to carry. I lay it at Your feet once and for all time. It is done. Finished! I shall now walk forward in freedom and peace. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.

Quote: Jesus does not require anything more, than a child-like trust in Him as Savior, Master and Friend -- and the devotion of the life to Him. ~ J.R. Miller Mark 10:15 Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it. Prayer: My Savior, All You request is that I trust in You. It is that simple. Make me child-like in my faith. In Your name I pray. Amen.

Quote: God wants you to be entirely His, and this means that you have to watch to keep yourself fit. It takes a tremendous amount of time. Some of us expect to "clear the numberless ascensions" in about two minutes. ~ Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest Psalm 119:2 Blessed are they that keep His testimonies, and that seek Him with the whole heart. Prayer: Father God, Give me the heart of an athlete to work each day to become and remain spiritually fit. Help me to dedicate the time and discipline required one day at a time. Amen.
