The Lamb, Our Shepherd

"‘Never again will they hunger;
    never again will they thirst.
The sun will not beat down on them,’[a]
    nor any scorching heat.
17 For the Lamb at the center of the throne
    will be their shepherd;
‘he will lead them to springs of living water.’[b]
    ‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’[c]” Revelation 7:16-17

 Dear Jesus,

 You are our only Lord and Savior. Your wipe our tears and your quench our thirst. Praise be to you as you reign in heaven over the entire universe for all eternity!

 Lord, we deserve nothing in our sinful condition. Through your love, though, you bring us back to life and give us new meaning through you. Please cleanse us of our sins through your sacrificial blood.

 Thank you Jesus for giving us everything. You gave us your life and you give us your love. We look forward to the day that we will not suffer and can be at your throne through the springs of living water. Thank you for the insurmountable blessings you give us each and every day!

 Please be with all those who mourn. Help them remember that in you, there is rejoicing, even in the sorrow. Please be with all those who are sick and return them to health. Please be with all of our teacher, aides, and office staff. Bless them in their daily work to bring your kingdom to those in need. Bless our pastors and other church workers. Help them faithfully preach the Gospel and administer your grace to those all around them.

 In your holy name, Jesus. 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!

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.

Perfect Love!

“There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment.

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.
