DayLight Scripture –

To love God with all of the heart, a full understanding, and all of one’s strength, and to love one’s neighbor as oneself is much more important than all kinds of entirely burned offerings and sacrifices.

Mark: 12:33

DayLight Prayer – Lord, as I make my way through this blessed day that you have given me, help me to recognize people as you do. That way I can love them better. In my weaknesses give me strength, which today, is impatience. Amen.

DayLight Scripture –

Honor everyone. Love the family of believers. Have respectful fear of God.

1 Peter: 2:17a

DayLight Prayer – What an awesome way to live…honoring everyone. Lord, I know that many days I dishonor people by the way I think of them, the way I react to them,  and by the way I dismiss them. Forgive me Lord. Help me to see and respect people as those whom you love and those whom you died for. Give me a higher vantage I pray. Amen.

DayLight Scripture –

The Lord’s eyes watch the righteous,
his ears listen to their cries for help.

Psalm 34:15

DayLight Prayer – I am blessed to know God, that your eyes are watching me. You know what is coming at me, and so you rush to my side. How else would you hear the silent cries of my heart… unless you are near.  Today I claim the promise of this verse for my own. I will go out of my house in the confidence that you have my back…my sides, top, bottom and my front. To God be the glory and the Amen.

DayLight Scripture –

Hope in the Lord!
Be strong! Let your heart take courage!
Hope in the Lord!

Psalm 27:14

DayLight Prayer – Lord, Thank you for the encouragement I find in scripture. Help me to be strong and courageous, placing my hope in you always. Even when it is Monday, even when my desk looks like a bomb hit it, even when I’ve heard many bad words in past days, even when the antibiotics are making me feel sicker than the sickness, did I say?…even when it is MONDAY…I will place my hope in you..  Amen.

DayLight Scripture –

In the same way, the Spirit comes to help our weakness. We don’t know what we should pray, but the Spirit himself pleads our case with unexpressed groans.  The one who searches hearts knows how the Spirit thinks, because he pleads for the saints, consistent with God’s will..

Romans 8: 26-27

DayLight Prayer – Lord, I am so thankful that when I cannot pray, you know me and my needs, and that you pray for me. I have times when I truly do not know how to pray. Your help sustains me and encourages my faith. Thank you Holy Spirit. Amen.
