My favorite scriptural verse for use in prayer early in the morning after giving thanks for a new day is Lamentations 3:22-23: It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.

1The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid? 2When the wicked advance against me to devour me, it is my enemies and my foes who will stumble and fall. 3Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then IContinueContinue reading “Three Pearls, Three Minutes, Thirty Days.

Psalm 26: Vindicate me, Lord, for I have led a blameless life; I have trusted in the Lord and have not faltered. 2Test me, Lord, and try me, examine my heart and my mind; 3for I have always been mindful of your unfailing love and have lived in reliance on your faithfulness. 4I do not sit with the deceitful, nor do I associateContinueContinue reading “Three Pearls, Three Minutes, Thirty Days.
