Heavenly Father, thank You for the inspired Scriptures and all the truth they contain. I pray that when there is a passage I find difficult or a concept I do not understand, that You would open up my understanding so I may grow in grace and in a knowledge of the Lord Jesus. Thank You that our salvation does not depend on our parents, position, or pedigree, nor is it based on our intellect, skill, education, or nationality. Thank You for all that Jesus endured in His humanity so that He could become the sacrifice for my sin. Thank You that in Your grace You sent Your only begotten Son to live and die so that by faith in Him, I may die to this old self-life and be raised into newness of life. Praise Your holy name, AMEN.

May I increasingly learn to regard the various trials I face as pure joy and the inevitable difficulties that come my way as glorious opportunities to rejoice in You. I pray that I may face my daily trials joyfully, knowing that the testing of my faith will produce endurance and steadfastness. May I increase my dependence upon You during good times and bad. In Jesus' name, AMEN.

Heavenly Father, help me to number my days and to set my mind on things above. Keep me from being tempted away from the worthy things of God by the accumulation of worldly wealth and fleshly passions which fade away as quickly as petals of a flower in the blazing sun.

This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, I pray that in Your sufficient grace I will stand firm in this evil day and in Your strength, I will patiently endure all the trials and tribulations that the enemy throws in my path.

Loving Father, I want to live in spirit and truth and to resist temptation. I know that there is a path I can choose that seems good but is not of You and ultimately ends in death.

Heavenly Father, thank You for this sober warning. I pray for wisdom, discernment, and honesty of heart so that I am not deceived by the enemy who seeks to distort the character of God and cause me to stray from His Word of truth. I pray that I may endure in the trials I face, in the power of the Spirit. Help me to remember that You are using all things to work together for good in order to refine my character into the person You want me to be. May I live for Your greater glory. In Jesus' name, AMEN.

Loving Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word and the wise instructions it contains.

In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the wise teachings of James.
