JUNE 8TH

FROM THE HEART
A DAILY INSPIRATIONAL
CALENDAR
by HELEN STEINER RICE



TO LIVE A LITTLE BETTER,
ALWAYS BE FORGIVING.
ADD A LITTLE SUNSHINE
TO THE WORLD IN WHICH WE'RE LIVING.



IF YOUR ENEMY IS HUNGRY, GIVE HIM FOOD TO EAT;
AND IF HE IS THIRSTY, GIVE HIM WATER
TO DRINK.



PROVERBS 25:21



TODAY ADD SOME PERSONAL SUNSHINE TO
THE WORLD AROUND YOU-THE KIND OF
SUNSHINE THAT COMES FROM FORGIVENESS.





COMFORTING WORDS FOR A WEARY HEART,
A BALM THAT SOOTHES THE SOUL,
HOPE IS A HEALING MEDICINE
THAT MAKES US STRONG AND WHOLE.



PEOPLE OF HOPE
ASCEND HILLS
AND MOUNTAINS
OTHERS HAVE DECLARED,
"IMPOSSIBLE."





FOR SURELY I KNOW THE PLANS I HAVE FOR YOU,
SAYS THE LORD,
PLANS FOR YOUR WELFARE AND NOT FOR HARM,
TO GIVE YOU A FUTURE WITH HOPE.



-JEREMIAH 29:11



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



"NOT BY MIGHT NOR
BY POWER, BUT BY MY
SPIRIT," SAYS THE
LORD ALMIGHTY.



ZECHARIAH 4:6



I HAVE ONLY TO... MAINTAIN
COMMUNICATION WITH HIM,
THOUGH IT MAY BE ONLY ONE
LITTLE FINGER OF FAITH, AND THAT
WILL BE ENOUGH TO MAKE HIS
POWER MINE FOR THE DOING OF
THIS BIT OF SERVICE THAT JUST
NOW SEEMS TOO MUCH FOR ME.



PREPARING YOUR HEART
FOR PRAYER



LORD, I KNOW NOT WHAT I OUGHT TO ASK OF YOU.
YOU ONLY KNOW WHAT I NEED. YOU KNOW ME
BETTER THAN I KNOW MYSELF. O FATHER, GIVE TO
YOUR CHILD WHAT HE HIMSELF KNOWS NOT HOW TO
ASK. TEACH ME TO PRAY. PRAY YOURSELF IN ME.

-ARCHBISHOP FRANCOIS FENELON-



ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD.



MATTHEW 19:26, MARK 10:27



LIKE THE ROAR OF RUSHING WATERS AND LIKE LOUD
PEALS OF THUNDER, A GREAT MULTITUDE WILL SHOUT,
"HALLELUJAH! FOR THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY REIGNS.
LET US REJOICE AND BE GLAD AND GIVE HIM GLORY!
FOR THE MARRIAGE OF THE LAMB HAS COME, AND HIS
BRIDE HAS MADE HERSELF READY." BLESSED ARE THOSE
WHO ARE INVITED TO THE MARRIAGE SUPPER OF THE LAMB.



REVELATION 19:6-7,9



BETTER IS ONE DAY IN YOUR COURTS THAN A THOUSAND
ELSEWHERE; I WOULD RATHER BE A DOORKEEPER IN THE
HOUSE OF MY GOD THAN DWELL IN THE TENTS OF THE
WICKED. FOR THE LORD GOD IS A SUN AND SHIELD; THE
LORD WILL GIVE GRACE AND GLORY; NO GOOD THING
DOES HE WITHHOLD FROM THOSE WHO WALK IN INTEGRITY.
O LORD OF HOSTS, BLESSED IS THE MAN WHO TRUSTS IN YOU!



PSALM 84: 10-12



THE HARVEST IS PLENTIFUL, BUT THE WORKERS ARE FEW.
THEREFORE, I WILL PRAY THAT THE LORD OF THE HARVEST
WILL SEND OUT WORKERS INTO HIS HARVEST.



MATTHEW 9:37-38, LUKE 10:2



LORD, I THANK YOU THAT YOU REIGN OVER
ALL THINGS AND THAT CHRIST IS PREPARING
US FOR UNION WITH HIM. I THANK YOU THAT
YOU GIVE GRACE AND GLORY, AND I ASK THAT
I WOULD BE PRIVILEGED TO
PARTICPATE IN YOUR HARVEST.

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