Scripture is God-breathed and true. When we memorize it, we carry the good news of Jesus with us wherever we go.
This week we will memorize John 1:4–5. Here, John continues to draw on the themes of the creation narrative, pointing to Jesus as the source of both life and light. Throughout the Gospels we see Jesus not only identify Himself using these terms, but fulfill them with the actions of His ministry (Jn 11:25; 8:12). Jesus is the Light that has overcome the darkness.
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 All things were created through him, and apart from him not one thing was created that has been created. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of men. 5 That light shines in the darkness, and yet the darkness did not overcome it.
—John 1:1–5

In view of all these prayer requests, remind us, Lord, that You bring light even in our deepest darkness. No darkness can snuff You out. May we seek our comfort in You today and always.

Good morning! I’m in need of prayer today. My husband has been sick with the Rona since last Monday. We are grateful we don’t need medical assistance, he’s more nauseous than anything, but he’s tired of feeling like crap. Today is our 6 year anniversary and we can’t celebrate like we would like to. I’m sure God has a plan in there somewhere. I’m negative so I’ve kept my distance but I long to just be able to kiss him on this special day. I should be thankful he’s here and things aren’t worse…I’m just feeling let down and sad that he isn’t feeling well. Thank you for letting me air my frustration!
I’m just now getting caught up on the last few days. Wednesday my husband and I took in a 6 week old baby girl to foster. Sleep and routine has been all out of whack. Please pray that we can all get rest and feel connected to the Father during this time.
Lifting your FIL and family in prayer, Maria ❤️ As I type this, Psalm 46 (Lord of Hosts) by Shane & Shane is playing. These lyrics, I am praying them over you this morning. “Lord of Hosts, You’re with us
With us in the fire
With us as a shelter
With us in the storm
You will lead us
Through the fiercest battle
Oh where else would we go
But with the Lord of Hosts”
Maria, I will pray for you and your family. What a traumatic situation, but thankfully your husband and the manager jumped into action quickly and didn’t give up.
