“So submit yourselves to the one true God and fight against the devil and his schemes. If you do, he will run away in failure. Come close to the one true God, and He will draw close to you. Wash your hands; you have dirtied them in sin. Cleanse your heart, because your mind is split down the middle, your love for God on one side and selfish pursuits on the other.” -James 4:7-8 [Voice]

A Time to Think… “Prayer is simply talking to God as a friend and should be the easiest thing we do each day.”  -Joyce Meyers, Christian author and speaker 

A Time to Act… Take some time today to set aside a few quiet minutes with Jesus. Let him share what he wants for you on this day. Then you share with Jesus with the joy of the bond you have with him in your life. He is your trusted friend always! 

A Time to Pray… My Lord and Savior, help me to draw near to you each day with openness and trust. Teach me to recognize your presence beside me—always there and always willing to help me to rest in your love always. Fill my prayers with the joy of being your child. AMEN.
