Most Wise God, life is filled with questions. Asking how and why and when, I probe You to find answers to things I want to know. But I have come to realize that not all questions have easy answers. And these unanswered questions usually create more questions that cause me to become frustrated. When my … Read more
Most Understanding Lord, I am the most ignorant of men. I lack wisdom and know little about You. I have neither ascended into Heaven nor returned to Earth. I cannot catch the wind in my hands nor make rain fall from the sky. Only You are magnificent enough to do such things … they are … Read more
Most Persevering Lord, I understand that a Christian life is not a paved road to wealth and ease. It often involves hard work, self-denial and suffering. In response to these things, I must focus on the good that You bring to my life and not the Devil’s inducements of a better and pleasure-filled life. Where … Read more

Most Understanding Lord, sometimes the truth hurts. It’s hard to be told I’ve done something wrong or my decision was not well thought out. I often become upset when my opinions or decisions are opposed or challenged. I really do not like to be told that my attitude needs adjusting. It makes me feel uneasy … Read more
Most Wondrous Lord, I find it amazing that You have chosen me to do Your will despite my being a finite and imperfect person. Being made in accordance with Your will, You gave me life and invited me to become a servant. When You call upon me, I do not always understand why, but I … Read more
Most Tenderhearted Lord, the Bible contains different pictures explaining Your relationship with Believers. You are an Apostle (one sent of God) to whom I should listen. My High Priest through whom I am able to come to Your Father. The Ruler of God’s Kingdom who I should obey. Each picture reveals more about Your nature … Read more
