      January 1

      The Father - Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; 2 Corinthians 1:3 KJV

      Abba Father!!

      January 2

      Peace - Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all. 2 Thessalonians 3:16 KJV

      The Lord of Peace will always be available to you, at all times. Peace does not come easy; you have to seek after it. Seek peace, you will find it.

      January 3

      Peace - They must turn from evil and do good; they must seek peace and pursue it. 1 Peter 3:11 NIV

      Avoid disharmony - I will seek peace and receive my blessings.

      January 4

      Fast And Pray - And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away. Acts 13:3 KJV

      Fasting and praying is a way to fellowship with God without food. Going without food is emptying yourself to focus yourself to rely on God to fill you with His strength and wisdom to move forward. You can fast and pray as an individual or as a group.

      January 5

      Great Are His Mercies - For as the heavens are high above the earth, So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him; Psalm 103:11 NKJV

      We cannot imagine the meaning of “So great” any more than we can measure the distance from earth to heaven. But God’s mercies are “So great”, toward those with Godly fear.

      January 6

      Walk - When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless. And I will make My covenant between Me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.” Genesis 17:1-2 NKJV

      The covenant with Abram was extended to me. Help me LORD to be blameless as I walk before You.

      January 7

      Praise The Lord - Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD! Psalm 150:6 NKJV

      All of God’s living creatures should give admiration unto the LORD.

      January 8

      Help Me - But you, LORD, do not be far from me. You are my strength; come quickly to help me. Psalm 22:19 NIV

      Lord, my prayer is I never feel Your presence is far from me. You are my strength. If I ever feel your presence is not dwelling in me, come quickly to me.

      January 9

      Salvation - The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.

      Psalm 118:14 KJV

      I will sing praises unto the LORD, the LORD is the giver of my strength, the LORD has saved my soul from sin. When I turned to Him, He began to be my salvation.

      January 10

      Hope - For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. Romans 8:24-25 KJV

      I am confident that my expected end will be living forevermore with my Lord and Savior.
