Memory Verse; In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1 NASB

Job 28 Psalms 118

“The Christians are distinguished from other men neither by country, nor by language, nor by the customs that they observe; for they neither inhabit cities of their own, nor employ a peculiar form of speech. They dwell in their own countries, but simply as sojourners. They marry, as do all others; they beget children; but they do not destroy their offspring. They have a common table, but not a common bed. They are in the flesh, but they do not live after the flesh. They pass their days on earth, but they are citizens of heaven. They obey the prescribed laws, and at the same time surpass the laws by their lives. They love all men, and are persecuted by all. They are unknown and condemned; they are put to death, and restored to life. They are poor, yet they make many rich; they are lacking all things, and yet abound in all; they are dishonored, and yet in their very dishonor are glorified. They are spoken of as evil, and yet are justified; they are reviled, and bless; they are insulted and repay the insult with honor; they do good, yet are punished as evildoers.” Letter to Diogenetus

With each new morning, Lord, we praise you and delight that our lives are in your hand. Your goodness sustains us. Your calling gives us purpose. Your victory ensures that our times are in your hands. Amen. (commonprayer.net)

Memory Verse; In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1 NASB

Job 25-26 Psalms 116

“Let our whole body, then, be preserved in Christ -Jesus; and let every one be subject to his neighbor. Let the strong not despise the weak, and let the weak show respect to the strong. Let the rich man provide for the wants of the poor, and let the poor man bless God because he has given him a community that can provide for his needs. Let us consider then, brothers, the matter out of which we were made, how we came into the world, from utter darkness, as if emerging from a grave. He who made us and fashioned us, prepared His bountiful gifts for us before we were born, and introduced us into his world. Since, therefore, we receive all these things from him, we ought to give him thanks for everything; to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.” Clement of Rome

Lord, when we weary of the journey, strengthen us by your Spirit to imagine new heavens and a new earth. Amen. (commonprayer.net)

Job 23-24 Psalms 115

"The brain is the realm of data, information, and knowledge.  The spirit, however, is the realm of understanding, wisdom, and truth.  The brain ought not to assume that it rules over the spirit, for such a course leans to enormous existential strife."  Dante

"Jesus, this day we are truly blessed with the Truth of our reason on this earth, You give us such a strong desire to spread Your Love and Truth to countless people. Not because of our human foundation but only because of YOUR Foundation that secures our standing, secures our living!  To You we give all our beings and only You! Amen" (Prayerscross)

Job 22 Psalms 114

"Love is the medicine for the sickness of the world." Karl Menninger

"Lord, grant that from hence I may learn to withdraw thoughts, affections, desires, and expectations entirely from the world, and may fix them upon the heavenly state, where there is fullness of joy; where reigns heavenly, sweet, calm, and delightful love without alloy; where there are continually the dearest expressions of this love; where there is the enjoyment of this love without ever parting; and where those persons, who appear so lovely in this world, will be inexpressibly more lovely, and full of love to us. How sweetly will those, who thus mutually love, join together in singing the praises of God and the Lamb. How full will it fill us with joy, to think that this enjoyment, these sweet exercises, will never cease or come to an end, but will last to all eternity." (Johnathan Edwards)

We learned that faith is putting ourselves in His hands, whatever happens, good or bad. He will help us somehow.”  Twentieth-century martyrs Felipe and Mary Barreda

Lord, our lives are in your hands. Do not let our enemies triumph over us. Teach us how to love even those who intend us harm. Amen.  (Commonprayre.net)
