Verse of the Day
So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law– Galatians 5:1 (NLT)
Prayer
Our Heavenly Father, thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus, so that I could be free to live an abundant life in You. Fill me with the revelation of Your love and everything that You have for me. Help me, Lord, to be fruitful this day. May I use the gifts and abilities you have given me in order to add a bit of goodness to the world. May I be fruitful in my work today, honoring you in everything I do.
Abba Father we thank You for creating us in your image. Thank you for the work you have assigned to us. Thank you for giving us such opportunity, authority, and responsibility in this world. Thank you that our work does indeed matter to you. Help us, Lord, to think rightly about work. Help us to work in a way that honors you and is faithful to your intentions for us. Keep us, Lord, from devaluing our work. Keep us from making our work an idol. Help us to work well and hard, but also to rest as you have taught us. May our work be a way for us to glorify you in all we do. By your grace, may we experience the goodness of how you have made us, offering this goodness to the world.
Gracious Father, I choose to trust in You. Even when things don’t go the way I planned, I know You are at work in my life. Thank You for Your perfect love which casts out all fear. I love You and surrender every area of my life. Lord, over all, hear our prayer today. We ask this in the matchless name of Jesus Christ, Amen

Prayer Quote of the day
Praying gives sense, brings wisdom, and broadens and strengthens the mind. The prayer closet is a perfect schoolteacher and schoolhouse for the preacher. Thought is not only brightened and clarified in prayer, but thought is born in prayer.
