Luke 19:47

DayLight Prayer – Lord, Today I pray for all people who are being persecuted for teaching and proclaiming your gospel. I know that the evil one would like for your name to never be mentioned, to never be alluded to, to never come up. Instead, let your name be proclaimed, and let the proclamation be protected from evil. Your good news is to vital too be hidden. The good news is that in you there is freedom from fear and death, forgiveness of sins, and life everlasting. Amen.

Help us to intentionally study, adopt, take-on, feel out and live into all you have created us to be. Amen.

Help them, Lord, to accept you for who you are, the savior of all creation. Amen.  

DayLight Scripture –Look at how good and pleasing it is when families live together as one! It is like expensive oil poured over the head, running down onto the beard—Aaron’s beard!— which extended over the collar of his robes. It is like the dew on Mount Hermon streaming down onto the mountains of Zion, because it is there that the Lord has commanded the blessing: everlasting life.
