“Praise the LORD! Praise God in His sanctuary; Praise Him in His mighty expanse.” Psalms 150:1 There are an estimated 100-400 billion stars in our galaxy alone... there are an estimated 200 billion to 2 trillion galaxies in the universe!!! 400 billion x 2 trillion stars in the universe... my brain hurts just thinking about that expanse... yet Lord, You state that you breathed all of that into existence. You are bigger than the universe, yet You know us by name. You’ve counted each one of us as well as the stars. You’re outside of time itself, yet You decided to create us and love us. We praise You for that. But saying just the words “we praise You” doesn’t seem enough... You are beyond compare.... beyond 400 billion x 2 trillion ... Amen

Dear God,
We lift up those who are mourning
We lift up those who are in need
We lift up the broken
We lift up the sick
We lift up the hungry
We lift up the happy
We lift up the rich
We lift up the poor
We lift up the regulars
We lift up the world-famous
We lift up the peaceful
We lift up the violent
We lift up the young, middle-aged, and well-seasoned
We lift up every race, creed, color and shape... sexual preference, personal preference, and everything in between
We lift up everyone because You died for all, and You’ve given the opportunity for all to choose to receive forgiveness and healing and grace.
Thank you God,
Amen

Evil - Matthew 6:13
Matthew 6:13 NASB [13] And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Dear Lord, it says in 1 Peter 5, that... “the Devil is prowling around like a roaring lion, looking for anyone he can devour.” 1 Peter 5:8 HCSB We pray, God, that you would not lead us into temptation but deliver us from evil. May we seek Your face today in the little decisions and the big events that happen. We give this day to you. Amen
Praise Him

Our Daily Bread Matthew 6:11
“Give us today our daily bread.” Matthew 6:11 HCSB Jesus prays for God to provide the daily bread instead of thanking God for the daily bread. In my daily prayers I’m usually thanking Him for food not really asking Him for daily nourishment. Why does Jesus demonstrate for us to ask for this? Jesus emulating this prayer for us reminds me that God is the one providing us our daily sustenance. It is so easy for me especially in my US suburban daily life to take God’s provision of everyday nourishment for granted. Maybe you’re reading this and you’re struggling. I know that God sees you, and he know your struggle. Thank you God for this day of Monday January 25th. I ask you now for daily nourishment. Not just for myself but especially for those who might not have the means to be able to afford that nourishment right now. I acknowledge that You are the provider of all things. Thank you God, Amen
