Endure

"Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart." Hebrews 12:3

 Dear Father in Heaven,

 Through you we endure the pain and suffering of this world and through you we receive our eternal reward in heaven. We praise you for watching over us, for loving us, and for always providing for our needs as you see fit. As the only God of the universe, we laud your name to all the ends of the world so that all may know that we are yours: a child of God!

 Although we sin much and deserve nothing, you are good and continue to give us good things. We confess our sins to you and thank you for the forgiveness you freely offer through your son Jesus! Without his love and power we would have nothing.

 We thank you for the confirmation of faith that so many 8th graders made on Sunday. May their faith continue to grow strong, while rooted in you alone! We thank you for a successful SJLS Gala and for the many, many people who gave freely of themselves. We also thank you for your continued blessings over SJLS!

 Please be with and bless all those who lost loved ones in the Texas shooting. Provide them with comfort and peace in these tragic circumstances. Please be with all of our students who are going on end of the year field trips. Grant them safety in every way!

 We pray all these things in Christ's powerful name!
Amen!

Love with Action

  "Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth." I John 3:18 Dear Lord Jesus, You have loved us with the ultimate love. We praise and thank you for showing your love through your death and resurrection. You loved with the ultimate action and truth. We adore you for always putting us first. We belong to you O Lord! Although you have always loved us, we have strayed. We confess our sins of wrong-doing, neglect, and outright betrayal of your truth. Help us O Lord to seek you. Forgive us. Renew us. Lead us through our confession into repentance and then forgiveness through your great love. Thank you Lord Jesus for the blessings we see and those that you provide and we know nothing about. Thank you for always loving and caring for us. We especially thank you for our Korean friends that were here. Great God, we ask you for your help and blessings for our school, students, teachers, and families. Bless our learning and worship here at school. Be

Perfect Love!

“There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.” - 1 John 4:18 Dear Father, Thank you for your loving care over us. In these uncertain times, grant us your peace and comfort that will pass all of our understanding. Amidst the coronavirus, may Your name be exhausted and hailed above all others. While some turn to fear, may we turn to You, Father. Above all else, may our minds and hearts be turned to you. Father, we implore you to turn this virus around and eradicate it. As the creator of the universe, you hold everything the palm of your hand and we ask that you bring this virus to it's end as soon as possible. Please be with those who are sick, from any illness, and heal them. Especially, be with those worldwide who are sick with COVID-19. Help to heal them quickly! Father, you know what is best for us and we pray that you would bring about calm and peace to each of our hom

Goodness from God

"For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ." 2 Peter 1:5-8 Dear Jesus Christ, We magnify your name in all the earth! The far reaches of your creation proclaim your name. We see your goodness in your creation and praise and thank you for all that you have given us, your dearly loved children. We are thankful for Lord Jesus for the love and forgiveness that you give us daily. Your law reminds us that we are but sinful humans, but through your death and resurrection, we are cleansed. Thank you for your forgiveness and love. Thank you for always giving us what we need at the right moment. Although we may
