Daily Devotions

Daily Devotions:
Read scripture to start out your day!  Picking a devotion book can be fun.  There is a lot of devotional books to choose from at your local Christian book store,  I use one from my church.  On line you can hear daily scriptures if you want.  Scripture on CD can be real inspiring!   


Journal:
Writing down your thoughts and prayers can help you focus as you read Gods word.

Lords Prayer:  Mathew 6:9-13  Jesus said in this manner we should pray:  Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.  Your kingdom come.  Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.  Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors, and do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.  For Yours is the kingdom and the power forever. Amen.


Armor of God:  Ephesians 6:12-17   Put on the whole armor of God so you may withstand  in the evil day, and having done all, to stand!

1. Gird waist with truth- Truth sets free.  Satan is a liar.
2. Breastplate of righteousness-  We are the righteousness of God through Christ.
3. Shod feet with the gospel of peace- Jesus is the Prince of peace.
4. Shield of faith- Fear not!  Trust in the Lord and the power of His might!  read Psalm 27
5. Helmet of salvation-  Through Christ I am saved!
6. Sword of the Spirit- The word of God.


Faith: Without faith it is impossible to please God. Heb.11:6 
Faith comes by hearing and hearing the word. 


Gods Word: Be a doer of the word and not a hearer only.  Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight my rock and my redeemer.

Thankfulness: For what we have and what He has done for us!


Repent: Of our shortcomings and sins. Jesus died for our sins.  Mathew 26:28
