Verse of the Day

As Christians, we are called to find joy in all circumstances, even when things are difficult. This can be a challenging task, but it is an important one. When we focus on rejoicing in the Lord, we are reminded of His presence in our lives and all that He has done for us. We can find joy in His love, grace, and salvation.

One way to find joy in the Lord is through prayer and meditating on His Word. When we spend time in His presence, we are reminded of His goodness and faithfulness. We can also find joy by serving others and sharing the love of Christ with those around us. As we seek to bring joy to others, we can't help but feel joy ourselves.

Another way to rejoice in the Lord is by being grateful for the blessings He has given us. When we take the time to thank God for all that He has done for us, our hearts are filled with joy. We can also find joy by praising and worshipping Him, as it helps us to focus on His greatness and all that He has done for us.

So let us strive to rejoice in the Lord always, no matter what circumstances we may face. By doing so, we will experience a joy that surpasses all understanding and bring glory to His name.

Prayer of the Day

Dear God,

As we begin a new year, we come before you with humble hearts and a desire to serve you. We thank you for the many blessings you have given us in the past and ask that you would continue to guide and protect us in the days ahead.

We pray that you would give us strength to overcome challenges and the wisdom to make good decisions. Help us to seek you first in all things and to follow your will for our lives.

We also lift up those who are struggling and in need. We pray for those who are sick, for those who are feeling lonely, and for those who are facing difficult circumstances. We ask that you would bring them comfort, hope, and your healing touch.

We trust in your goodness and your plan for our lives. Thank you for your endless love and grace.

In your holy name we pray, Amen.

Quote of the Day

Darkness comes. In the middle of it, the future looks blank. The temptation to quit is huge. Don't. You are in good company... You will argue with yourself that there is no way forward. But with God, nothing is impossible. He has more ropes and ladders and tunnels out of pits than you can conceive. Wait. Pray without ceasing. Hope.

— John Piper
