Father, we thank You for our family members who work hard day in and day out to provide for the physical and material needs of their spouses and children. Help us to value and obey the pattern you established. We pray for our unemployed readers who want to provide for their families according to Scripture.…

Jesus, we thank You that salvation comes from You alone. We would fall way too short if we relied on our good works, our personality, our status in life or our worldly accumulation to purchase our salvation.
