A Prayer for Every Day

2007-03-27T23:03:00.002-04:00

Dear Heavenly Father,

I thank You for the beautiful world

With all the great works You do.

They all sing praises to You.

I, too, want to give praise

For the morning light,

the rose so white,

The sun and stars up in the sky.

I named only a few.

Most of all I want to please You

In everything I do!

Please accept my happy song

Of praise to You.

In the name of Jesus I pray.

Amen.

Help Me

but Thou art mighty.

Psalm 23

2007-03-17T20:57:00.000-04:00

The Lord is my Shepherd,
He gives me everything I need.
He lets me rest in green pastures,
And guides me to quiet streams.

He gives me strength when I am sick,
He leads me in His ways.
I follow His laws,
Because I am happy to obey.

Even if death is near,
I won't be afraid.
For God is beside me,
And guides me along the way.

His rod and staff gently leads me,
He gives me good things to enjoy.
He pours soothing oil upon my head,
So that blessings overflow.

God's goodness and kindness,
Will be with me all my life.
I will then live with God in His home,
Forever.

Good Shepherd

2007-03-12T21:25:00.000-04:00

Faithful Shepherd, feed me

In the pastures green;

Faithful Shepherd, lead me

Where Thy steps are seen.

Hold me fast and guide me

In the narrow way;

So, with Thee beside me,

I shall never stray.

Daily bring me nearer

To the heavenly shore;

May my faith grow clearer.

May I love Thee more!

Hallow every pleasure,

Every gift and pain;

Be Thyself my Treasure.

Though none else I gain.

Amen.

What Can I Give To Jesus

What do I give to Jesus?

Who gave so much to me.
I want to give the best for Him,
Now what shall it be?

That is full of love.

A sunny, happy, sprit.
In my work and in my play.

The Guiding Light

2007-01-02T21:11:00.000-05:00

"...The star they (the wise men) had seen
when they were in the east went ahead of them.
It finally stopped over the place where the child was.
When they saw the star, they were filled with joy."

Matthew 2:9,10

A light shows us what is in the darkness. We can use a light to point others in the right direction. A guiding light shines before us to light our way.

God used a star to guide the wise men to the baby Jesus. When they found Him, their hearts were filled with joy. God uses His Word and the Holy Spirit as the guiding light to show us the way to Jesus.

Heavenly Father,
Just like the wise men needed a light to find the baby Jesus, I need Your light to guide me. Reading Your Word and listening to Your Holy Spirit speak to my heart will light my way. Thank You for sending Jesus to give me joy!

Amen

Star Light - Star Bright!

2006-12-28T21:20:00.000-05:00

"...the Angel said to them ...
I bring you good news of great joy.
It is for all the people.
Today in the town of David
a Savior has been born to you.
He is Christ the Lord."
Luke 2:10,11

John 1:1, says, "In the beginning, the Word was already there. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning."

This verse of the Bible is talking about Jesus! Jesus was God, who was in heaven and who loved us so much that He came to show us His Love. He came to save us from the sin that had been brought into the world by Satan, because Adam and Eve did not obey God in the Garden of Eden.

God came to us as a baby lying in a manger. The Angel of the Lord told the wise men and the shepherds that the Bright Star would lead them to the baby. If they followed the Star they would find The Light of the world. Baby Jesus was born to bring God's people out of darkness into His wonderful Light.

We hope you have a Merry Christmas.
May God's Love, Peace and Joy be with you now and always!

Dearest Jesus

2006-12-28T21:19:00.000-05:00

Ah! dearest Jesus, holy Child,
Make Thee a bed, soft, undefiled,
Within my heart, that it may be
A quiet chamber kept for Thee.

Amen.

Child of Bethlehem

2006-12-27T07:55:00.000-05:00

O holy Child of Bethlehem,
Descend to us, we pray;
Cast out our sin and enter in.
Be born in us to-day.

Amen

Babe of Bethlehem

2006-12-24T05:24:00.000-05:00

Precious Babe of Bethlehem,
Gift of love to sinful men,
Thou, our Savior, Lord, and King
May we all Thy praises sing!

Amen.

Joy to the World

2006-12-23T12:02:00.000-05:00

"...the Angel said to them ...I bring you good news of great joy.
It is for all the people. Today in the town of David
a Savior has been born to you. He is Christ the Lord."

Luke 2:10,11

God sent the angel to announce the coming of the Christ Child. God's love for us is the greatest gift ever given. His only Son, Jesus took the punishment for all our sins. God's gift is free, but it must be received. This is the "good news of great joy," the angel told about.

Father God, I thank you for sending Your Son to the earth to be our Savior. I love You, Jesus.

Amen.

Teach Me

2006-11-06T12:35:00.000-05:00

Be willing in each task I do.
Help me to be good each day,
and lead me in thy holy way.

Amen

Prayer on All Saints

2006-10-31T20:53:00.000-05:00

Heavenly Father,

You have given the Saints in Heaven eternal happiness and they now live in the fullness of Your glory. Because of their holy love for You, they also care about me and my family, my friends, my church, and my neighbors. Thank You for the gift of their friendship and the witness of their holy lives. I ask our Patron Saints and every saint to intercede for us. I ask them to help us journey safely on the narrow path that leads to Heaven. O Lord, give us their protection. Grant us their help in overcoming temptation and gaining the fullness of life with You.

Amen.

Learning to use your Bible

2006-10-18T02:36:00.000-04:00

A bible verse citation tells us how to find a particular reading in the bible. There are three steps to finding the passage we want to read.

1John 4: 8

Step one

We must first find the book of the Bible that the scripture verse is in. The book is highlighted in red. Using this example, 1John4:8, we want to find the First book of John. This is one of the books of the New Testament.

Step two

We then turn to the chapter in the book. This is the first number after the book, it is highlighted in green. So in our example, 1John4:8, we are looking for chapter 4.

Step three

Let’s find the verse. The verse is the second number after the book and is separated by a colon (:). In our example 1John4:8, we are looking for the eighth verse.

So what does it say? God is love!

So now we know how to find passages in the bible. Remember to read your bible everyday, these are the words of God!

Here are a few passages that have very important messages for us:

Acts 16: 31
Ephesians 6: 1
Exodus 20: 8
Exodus 20: 12
Isaiah 43: 5
John 15: 5
Matthew 5: 14
Matthew 6: 33
Psalm 3: 5
Psalm 27: 14
Psalm 34: 9
Psalm 34: 14
Psalm 118 :1
Psalm 127: 3

Make Me More Like You

2006-10-11T04:12:00.000-04:00

Help us, God, each day,
To follow You along the way.
Teach us to be kind like you,
In everything we say and do.

Amen.

Who is your pilot?

2006-09-25T08:39:00.000-04:00

Who is charge of everything? Who is the pilot of our lives? The boss? Jesus !! He is our Lord. He is God!

God’s will must be more important than our will. God tells us in His Word we should make others more important than ourselves. Giving others first place and putting ourselves in the 'back seat' will show that we love others with God's great love!

Lord Jesus,

Sometimes I put myself first. I think only of myself. Please forgive me. Help me to remember what you say about making others more important. I know when I do, You will take care of me.

Amen

Teach me O God

2006-09-20T13:29:00.000-04:00

Dear God,
Teach me to share my toys
With other little girls and boys
And not to ever fuss and fight
When I am wrong and begin to stray
Please help me find my way

Amen
