Thought/ Prayers for the day
I’ve learned that how people treat me is more a reflection of how they see themselves than how they see me. –Unknown
If you want to see how a person feels about themselves, watch how they interact with
the world around them. Do you see hot air trying to hide insecurity, or someone secure
enough to humble themselves and serve those they come into contact with, in an effort
to display Christ?
Proverbs 27:19 “As water reflects a face, so a man’s heart reflects the man.”

A SERVANT’S HEART
No commentsGod, help me/my spouse & children develop servants’ hearts, so that we may serve you wholeheartedly.Ephesians 6:7 “Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men.”
Thought/ Prayers for the day
Don’t worry what you could do if you lived your life over; get busy with what is left.
Rather than focusing on things behind us, or worrying about the things in front of us; we need to be concerned with what is within our ability to control right now. Pray for wisdom and grace, act accordingly and leave the results in the hands of a sovereign God.
Matthew 6:28-34 “28And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”

No commentsFAITH
Lord, help me/my spouse &am! p; children to fight the good fight of faith, taking hold of the eternal life to which they were called.
1Timothy - “Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.”
Thought/ Prayers for the day
If you never want to be lonely, build bridges instead of walls.
Loneliness is a choice. A choice made by people who would rather be alone with their habits, hurts and hang-ups; then lean upon the helping hand of a brother or sister in Christ willing to walk with you through difficult times. When bridges are built, we are not so easily discouraged, overcome and discontented.
Ecclesiastes 4:12 “Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.”

Father, teach me/my spouse & children the secret of being content in every situation, through Him who gives strength.
Philippians 4:12-13- “12I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13I can do everything through him who gives me strength.”
