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.

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

Sirach 34:19

DayLight Prayer – Lord, Today I think about all those who will venture out into the world, and before they know it, they will slip and fall. Falling is something we all seem to do from time to time. It hurts us and it creates in us a fear that falling is common. Lord, help us with our fear. Seal us from the abuse that it anchors us to, and Lord, set us free. Amen.
