You make no mistakes in how You have laid out Your word. May we seek Jesus in Your word everyday to become more and more like Him. (more…)

Holy Spirit, give us wisdom to submit to the revelation of Your truth the first time we encounter it. Keep us humble so that we don’t have to be put through the paces to learn things the hard way.

Keep us from stubbornness and gently bring us back to surrender at Your feet. (more…)
