Do not answer a fool according to his folly, lest you also be like him" (Proverbs 26:4). Holy Father, what a friend we have found in You.

Then Your people will be blessed, and You will be glorified! In the name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen! So let us hear the conclusion of the matter, "I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, and...

"Do not answer a fool according to his folly, lest you also be like him" (Proverbs 26:4). Dear God, nothing in my hand I bring, because I have nothing WORTHY of my King. But please use me to deliver a message for Your glory and the blessing of Your people! In the name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.

"Do not answer a fool according to his folly, lest you also be like him" (Proverbs 26:4). Heavenly Father, we need Your wisdom and Your power if we are to represent You the way we ought. So please touch our lips with a coal from Your altar, and sanctify our words and fortify our characters. We pray this in the name of Jesus the Christ. Amen. One of the most certain ways of giving away our power, I believe, is by allowing ourselves to be drawn into battles that we did not choose. Not every comment need to be responded...

"Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.

Please open the eyes of our understanding, that we might be filled with gratitude for such a privilege, and never take it for granted. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen. As we begin a new week, and take a fresh look at the...

But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:31, NKJV. Dear God, I thank You for Your loving kindness. Please help me not to become weary in doing Your will. I pray in the Holy Name of Jesus! Amen.
