Our Daily Bread
Cover Photo was taken by Alex Smith, Yoshino, Japan
I started to incorporate these devotionals into my prayer time. This has been a blessing in my life. If you have a prayer time and are looking for a guide, this little book has done wonders to my prayer time and allowed me to think about being a Christian and what Jesus has called me to do.
I feel that God has called me to write these devotionals down and share them with those who need a word of encouragement or a sense of direction for someone to go through during the course of the day. I would like to gather a following of people who will read "Our Daily Bread" everyday with me. I would also like feedback from others when they read this book. I feel that one lesson a day is best and to try to reflect upon this lesson throughout the day. Remember the Lord stated clearly to give us "Our daily bread" not weekly, monthly or yearly bread when he gave his disciples "The Lord's Prayer." Jesus wants us to focus on one day at time and to do his will for that day.

Lord God, Blessed Trinity, empower us to remember that you loved us so well, that you died on a cross to save us from our own sin. Empower us to share your love with others. In this, others may know you and turn to you for healing and salvation. During this holiday season let us stop and be grateful to what a loving God has given us. Empower to share these truths with others. All power, glory and honor is yours Lord Jesus, Amen. (Ephesians 3:14-21)

Lord God, Blessed Trinity, empower us to remove gossip from our lives and out of our conversations. Help us to ignore such things and to stay away from the conversation if gossip is introduced. Empower us to only speak about someone in a godly manner. Help us to speak with encouragement, joy and hope when we engage others in conversation. Empower us to teach these to others. All glory, honor and praise is yours, Lord Jesus, Amen.(Proverbs 26: 20-28)
