Psalm 25:15-16

My eyes are continually toward the LORD,
For He will pluck my feet out of the net.

Turn to me and be gracious to me,
For I am lonely and afflicted.

Psalm 25:15-16


This one spoke to me today because I've been feeling particularly lonely lately. I found myself praying to God for help in my life and crying out to Him "I can't do this alone, I need help" and His response was "No, you can't do it alone." I need to focus my eyes continually towards Him.

Bible Verses 3

They shall eagerly utter the memory of Your abundant goodness
And will shout joyfully of Your righteousness.

Being faithful to your spouse or significant other:

Keep watching and praying that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.

Matthew 26:41 (NASB)

And a little Christmas:

Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel.

Colossians 4:12

As usual, here is today's daily devotional verse because it spoke to me.

Epaphras, who is one of your number, a bondslave of Jesus Christ,
sends you his greetings, always laboring earnestly for you in his
prayers, that you may stand perfect and fully assured in all the will of God.

Colossians 4:12

It's even more powerful if you read the devotion at http://devotions.proverbs31.org/. It is the December 8 devotion, entitled 365 Days of Blessing. She talks about how her present at a gift exchange was an ornament with a note that the giver would pray for whoever received the gift everyday for the next year.
