MARCH 16TH

FROM THE HEART
A DAILY INSPIRATIONAL
CALENDAR
by HELEN STEINER RICE



JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES
AND OPEN YOUR HEART
AND FEEL YOUR WORRIES
AND CARES DEPART.




BUT MY EYES ARE TOWARD THEE,
O LORD GOD; IN THEE I SEEK REFUGE;
LEAVE ME NOT DEFENSELESS!



PSALM 141:8



TODAY, AS THOUGHTS OF GOD
ENTER YOUR HEART, YOUR
WORRIES WILL LEAVE.








REJOICE IN HOPE,
BE PATIENT IN SUFFERING,
PRESEVERE IN PRAYER.




ROMANS 12:12



WHEN YOUR DREAMS SEEM UNSEARCHABLE,
TRUST THAT THE FUTURE WILL
LIGHTEN YOUR BURDENS,
SMOOTH YOUR PATH,
AND URGE YOU ON TO A BRIGHTER TOMORROW.




HOPE IS THE MOST PLEASING
PASSION OF THE SOUL.

-ELIZA HAYWOOD-



HOPE OPENS OUR HEARTS
AND LESSENS OUR WOES.

IT FIGHTS AGAINST STRIFE
AND VANQUISHES FOES.

IT CAN BE AS SMALL AS A SMILE
OR AS LONG AS THE DAY.

IT'S A GIFT THAT GROWS LARGER
WHEN YOU GIVE IT AWAY.




STREAMS IN THE DESERT
DAILY THOUGHTS FROM
THE DEVOTIONAL CLASSIC
by MRS. CHARLES E.
COWMAN



THEN THEY CRIED OUT TO
THE LORD IN THEIR
TROUBLE, AND HE BROUGHT
THEM OUT OF THEIR DISTRESS.




PSALM 107:28



DO NOT GET DISCOURAGED;
IT MAY BE THE LAST KEY IN THE
BUNCH THAT OPENS THE DOOR.




PREPARING YOUR HEART
FOR PRAYER



TEACHERS, TO BE PREPARED
YOU MUST BE PRE-PRAYERED.

-UNKNOWN-



THE WORD OF GOD IS LIVING AND ACTIVE
AND SHARPER THAN A DOUBLE -EDGED
SWORD, PIERCING EVEN TO THE DIVIDING
OF SOUL AND SPIRIT AND OF JOINTS AND
MARROW, AND IT JUDGES THE THOUGHTS
AND ATTITUDES OF THE HEART.
AND THERE
IS NO CREATURE HIDDEN FROM HIS SIGHT,
BUT EVERYTHING IS UNCOVERED AND LAID
BARE BEFORE THE EYES OF HIM TO WHOM
WE MUST GIVE ACCOUNT.




HEBREWS 4:12-13



THE LAW WAS ADDED THAT THE TRANSGRESSION
MIGHT INCREASE.
BUT WHERE SIN INCREASED,
GRACE ABOUNDED ALL THE MORE, SO THAT JUST
AS SIN REIGNED IN DEATH, SO ALSO GRACE MIGHT
REIGN THROUGH RIGHTEOUSNESS TO BRING
ETERNAL LIFE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST
OUR LORD.




ROMANS 5:20-21



O LORD, YOU ARE OUR FATHER.
WE ARE
THE CLAY; YOU ARE THE POTTER; WE ARE
ALL THE WORK OF YOUR HAND.




ISAIAH 64:8



THERE IS ONLY ONE LAWGIVER AND JUDGE,
THE ONE WHO IS ABLE TO SAVE AND TO DESTROY.
WHO AM I TO JUDGE MY NEIGHBOR?



JAMES 4:12



THE ONE WHO LOVES HIS BROTHER ABIDES
IN THE LIGHT, AND THERE IS NO CAUSE FOR
STUMBLING IN HIM.




1 JOHN 2:10



LORD, I THANK YOU FOR THE LIVING POWER
OF YOUR WORD AND FOR THE ABUNDANCE
OF YOUR GRACE.
I THANK YOU FOR CREATING
AND LOVING ME.
I WILL LOVE OTHERS AS YOU
HAVE COMMANDED.


MAY THE LOVE OF CHRIST BE
WITH US TODAY AND ALWAYS!
IN JESUS NAME WE PRAY,
AMEN.
