Your Love Is Greater Than Our Unbelief – 08.09.2026
Lord, we know You do all things well. Help us, though, in our present state to believe and say this with confidence.

Thy Will Be Done – 08.08.2026
“....Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven....” (Matthew 6:10). We recognize this as part of the Lord’s Prayer.

Consumed With Restless Longings – 08.07.2026
The sea speaks of restlessness. The sea is never still. It is always in motion. It rises and falls. It goes out and comes in. Aren’t our lives like that? We are restless creatures.

HEAVEN, where there will be no more sea! You may wonder why there is no more sea. John is thinking what the sea represents.

Heaven, there will be no temptation and no sin there!
