Scripture lesson:

I Peter 1:16-21 Prophesy

PrayerBits for Tuesday

Scripture lesson:

Isaiah 29:13-19 "The day of the Lord"

Time to reflect:

Are there times in our worship of God that we're just going through the motions, rather than worshiping with sincere devotion from our hearts? Have our devotional practices become routine and less meaningful than they could be?

PrayerBits for Monday

Scripture lesson:

Is 42:1-7 "God's Chosen Servant"

Time to reflect:

Moving through the day:

Pray that God will guidance you to lead with kindness, peacefulness and gracious instruction.
