Light for My Path Daily Devotion

Bible Reading

Rejoice in the Lord always! I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near. Do not worry about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if anything is excellent, and if anything is praiseworthy, think about these things. (Philippians 4:4-8 EHV)

Hymn  ELH  21: 1,4  To God Be Glory

To God be glory, peace on earth,
To all mankind good will!
We bless, we praise, we worship Thee,
And glorify Thee still.

Have mercy, Thou that tak’st the sins
Of all the world away!
Have mercy, Savior of mankind,
And hear us when we pray!

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank you for allowing me to bring my requests before You in prayer and for promising to hear the prayers of Your faithful people.  Guard my heart and my mind from evil and help me, through faith in Jesus, to follow Your commands.  In Jesus’ name I pray.  Amen.
