"Good morning dear Lord, this is your day, I am your child, please show me your way."

When our children were young, we prayed this prayer every morning and continued all through the years, and now I find myself praying this when I first wake up because it helps me turn my eyes off of me and back to the Lord.

One Word: Alpha & Omega One Verse: “I am the A

One Word: Alpha & Omega

One Verse: “I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty." Revelation 1:8

One Thought: Lord, you are it. There never has been anyone or anything else nor will there ever be. You are the best — my Almighty. How reassuring, how comforting, how secure!

While I'm on a summer break, I'm sharing my favorite blogs and reads from this year! Read the blog at the link in my bio.

One Word: Immanuel

One Verse: “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel" which means, God with us. Matthew 1:23

One Thought: Jesus, you came to earth to be God with us. To identify with us, to be with us every moment. In our humanness, it's easy to feel alone. Help me to walk in the truth today that you are Immanuel - God with me. Help _________ to realize that you are Immanuel in his or her life today.

One of my favorite things to do in the summer is to hike! I love noticing many different things in His creation and thank him specifically for each one. This is one small step in His “stilling me.” To provide more time for small Sabbath moments, I’ll be taking a summer break from blogging. However, I will be back in late August with some stories of my 9th big hike with my friend Melody. To kick off summer, I've put together a list of my favorite recent blogs and books I've read! Check it out in the link in my bio.

One Word: Hope One Verse: “For you O Lord are

One Word: Hope

One Verse: “For you O Lord are my hope, my trust O Lord, from my youth." Psalm 71:5

One Thought: Lord, it's too easy for me to put my hope in circumstances, dreams, or people. And I'm usually disappointed. Forgive me, Father for counting on others (and situations) to give me hope. Only you can give me pure hope that lasts. Please help me look to you as my primary source and fill me with hope today.
