DayLight Scripture -The thief enters only to steal, kill, and destroy. I came so that they could have life—indeed, so that they could live life to the fullest.

John 10:10

DayLight Prayer – Lord, forgive me when I do not recognize the thief…that old evil one…Lucifer…Satan…the devil! I know that often I don’t see it when he steals my time with frivolous talk, and useless activities. I don’t hear it when he sneaks in to kill my witness, and when he destroys my confidence with whispers of discouragement. Help me to be wise and cunning enough to catch the thief’s wily ways. Help to stay in the center of your love and keep living life to the fullest!  Amen.

DayLight Scripture – So then, receiving mercy does not depend on a person’s desire or effort. It depends entirely on God, who shows mercy.

DayLight Scripture – Don’t be overly impressed when someone becomes rich, their house swelling to fantastic proportions, because when they die, they won’t take any of it with them.

Psalm 49: 16-17

DayLight Prayer – Lord, I know that we believe that money keeps us completely secure. It does in the physical world, at least to a degree. Of course it doesn’t have much effect on our human nature. Money doesn’t cure hate, avarice, lust or cruelty. It wont’ help us at all at our last breath. Father, teach us to be concerned more with our relationship with you and others in our lives. Help us to know that money can make us comfortable, but only Jesus can save us. Only Jesus will be with us when we breathe our last. Thank you for your great mercy. Amen.

DayLight Scripture – Because you aren’t a God  who enjoys wickedness; evil doesn’t live with you. Arrogant people won’t last long in your sight; you hate all evildoers; you destroy liars’ lies.   

Psalm 5: 4-6

DayLight Prayer – Forgive me Lord for the times when I arrogantly think I have the need to judge others. Help me to keep my judgments where they should be, contained by your spirit. Help me to love instead. Love casts out evil, and ignores lies which are evil. Help me too, I pray, to seek truth. Amen.

DayLight Scripture – Jesus called them to him and said, “Allow the children to come to me. Don’t forbid them, because God’s kingdom belongs to people like these children.

Luke 18: 16

DayLight Prayer – Lord, The news today is slightly overwhelming, and it makes me concerned for the children of the world. I know that if we adults could be more like children, who love unconditionally (unless they are taught differently), then many of my concerns about the news would dissipate in a quick manner. Help us adults to remember what it means to have the humility and love of a child. Help us to stop judging one another because we are different. Help us to understand that you made us different for your divine reasons and purposes…purposes to which our aim should be to live into.  Lord, have mercy. Amen.

DayLight Scripture – This is the message that we have heard from him and announce to you: “God is light and there is no darkness in him at all.”

1 John 1:5

Daylight Prayer – Holy Lord. In the deep dark of a rainy night it is hard for me to imagine your great light, and how where you are there is never darkness. Now I understand that is darkness of spirit and soul that John may have been talking about. So Lord, let me pray for any person today that may be feeling consumed by darkness of any kind. Let the light of your great presence shine on and into them. Amen.
