Let's Start with a Picture

Monday

Starting the day

with a Picture

Thoughts for Monday

As I look at the above picture,

I notice how intensely

the detective is following the footsteps.

What if we had that kind of interest

in

following Jesus?

If we will follow Jesus' footsteps

like the detective

is following those footsteps,

we could avoid

a lot of problems in our life. 

And we could become

a better mentor 

to those we love.

Prayer for Monday

Loving Lord,

I want to follow you more closely.

Today,

I will follow you

like that detective

was following those footsteps.

In Jesus' name I pray,

Amen

Tuesday

Thoughts for Tuesday

As I look at the above picture,

I realize that today

the world is crying out for heroes.

No matter what age I am

I can be a hero today

for somebody.

I can give a kind word or a helpful hand.

Two Prayers for Tuesday

Dear Lord,

You are the

Creator of Wonders and Spectacular Joys.

Thank you

that you have given me

what it takes to bless people this day.

I will begin with

a warm smile and a kind word.

Amen

Lord of my heart,

I value you, and I value your Word.

Your Word tells me to love and bless other people.

Your will is for me to view everyone in my life as valuable. You want me to honor people and treat them with respect every day.

I receive my mission to love people this day.

I receive my mission to be:

helpful toward their needs,

compassionate toward their hurts,

encouraging toward their trials,

enthusiastic toward their victories,

warm toward their presence,

and

forgiving toward their mistakes and sins.

Change my heart, Lord. Teach me to be more like you.

I will yield to you this day.

Amen

Thoughts for Wednesday

As I look at the above picture,

I realize that today may include

some rainy weather

or rainy circumstances.

"God, remind me to choose lightheartedness

instead of

frustration or anger

if

irritating storms

of any kind

pop up in my day."

Prayer for Wednesday

Almighty God,

You are Amazing and Awesome.

You are Great and Glorious.

You are Powerful, and

You do impossible things.

I come to you today and pray that you would

transform me

so that I have a 

greater desire

for the beauty and blessing

of

calmness and patience. 

I  WILL

become

the peaceful, patient person

that you are leading me to be.

In Jesus' name I pray,

Amen
