n Father, I want to spend the rest of my earthly life getting to know Christ and the power of His resurrection. Help me to be willing to participate in His sufferings, becoming like Him in His death, so that I might also participate in the power of His resurrection. In so doing, I bar…

n Father, seasons come and seasons go, along with people from our past history who made lasting contributions affecting future generations.

n Father, we earnestly seek You for wisdom regarding the daily circumstances of our lives in the years we are allotted here on earth. Help us to incline our hearts toward You for understanding all that You have to teach us. During the quiet sessions when Your voice seems silent help us to trust You…
