DayLight Scripture  – Conduct yourselves with all humility, gentleness, and patience. Accept each other with love.

Ephesians 4:2

DayLight Prayer – Dear Lord, I know that I am not gentle and patient much. I am never humble. So I’m sorry. Help me to feel for others as you do, and help me to see others as you do, with total and complete love and acceptance. I’m sure encountering others with your love will help me with that humility, gentleness and above all patience. Amen.

DayLight Scripture – Love never fails.

1 Corinthians 13: 8a

DayLight Prayer – Lord, It’s obvious isn’t it? When water is stagnant, there is no life. Help me today to let your living water flow through me, so I will be alive. Amen.

DayLight Scripture – If your enemies are starving, feed them some bread; if they are thirsty, give them water to drink.

Proverbs 25:21

DayLight Prayer – Dear God of grace and mercy, I admit that feeding an enemy is not something that I readily do. It seems like a backward approach to having what I want most, which is peace. But I get you. You want me to show mercy and kindness, so that on the off-chance, they may see some good in me and be open.  So help me God, and I will try to love my enemies like I know you love them. Amen.

DayLight Scripture – Jesus spoke to the people again, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me won’t walk in darkness but will have the light of life.”

John 8:12

DayLight Prayer – Lord, I wonder how many people you will speak to today. I wonder how many will listen and how many will ignore you. My prayer is today that you speak to me, help me to see your light and follow you. God forgive me when I don’t look up!  Amen.

DayLight Scripture – I will grant peace in the land so that you can lie down without anyone frightening you. I will remove dangerous animals from the land, and no sword will pass through it.

Leviticus 26:6

DayLight Prayer – Lord, It is a blessed thing to be able to lie down in peace. So many of us hardly do that anymore. We are weighted down by the our own traumas and the trauma of others. We resist the option of giving our thoughts, our minds, and our worries over to you. I am so grateful that when I do, I have peace. Bless God for God’s wonderful peace, that eliminates my fear.  Amen.

Grateful for Peace

DayLight Scripture – But I, with shouts of grateful praise, will sacrifice to you. What I have vowed I will make good. I will say, ‘Salvation comes from the Lord.’

Jonah 2:9

DayLight Prayer – Lord, I am grateful today for peacefulness. Though chaos chinks down around me at times, and the arrows of uncertainty fly by my head, and the drum beats of resistance sound in the distance. I am at peace because of you Lord. I am so grateful.  Amen.

DayLight Scripture -In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

DayLight Scripture -Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.   They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

Lamentations 3: 22-24

DayLight Prayer – Lord, How wonderful to remember your great faithfulness. When I am downcast, and the day is chewing on me, it fills my heart and lifts my spirits to know you remember me with compassion. Lord, let me be consumed by your love.  Amen.

DayLight Scripture – “As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.”

Genesis 8:20

DayLight Prayer – Father, you have made the earth to cycle in and out of seasons; seasons which change as time moves forward. Help me to watch for the next season in my life, and help me to anticipate it with joy.  Amen.
