Dear blessed Lord Jesus, good morning. I love you and thank you for this new day to live for you. Father God, thank you for your mercy and power that is new everyday. Thank you for sending your son to save me and others from sin, to realize you have always been one with us. Father God, while I’m living my day-to-day life, help me to keep my ears open and my gifts at the ready for you. I thank you for all the precious people you have sent in my path as guidance to healing this broken life and making me whole again. I thank you, praise and give you all the honor and glory Lord Jesus. Amen.

This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptations. For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. These things command and teach. Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the ‘presbytery’ a governing body of elders.
1 Timothy 4:9-14
