(Meditation: Ephesians 4:31-32)
God, when my heart is filled with hate, it's because I haven't forgiven
someone. When my heart is filled with blame, it's because I haven't
forgiven someone. When my heart is filled with jealousy, it's because
I haven't forgiven someone. When my heart is filled with vengeance,
it's because I haven't forgiven someone. O God, help me to forgive
others the way You have forgiven me. In Jesus' name. Amen.

(Meditation: Deuteronomy 11:18-21)
Eternal and everlasting God, I want my children to love You, but
I've been relying on Sunday School and others to do this. Help ME
to tell my children how important You are in my life. Make ME a
good example of a life of faith. Help ME to be a strong spiritual
leader in my family. May my words and my behavior speak the same
language. Through Jesus Christ, my Lord. Amen.

(Meditation: Colossians 2:6-10)
God, my life doesn't always have meaning, and nothing I do seems
to give it meaning. Forgive me when I think that it comes automatically
with my work and my own efforts, and not from You. Help me to find
meaning in the plans that You have for me. Help me to turn over
my feverish ways to You and say, "Thy will be done." Amen.
