Message: Starting with Jesus brings a sense of hope and direction to our lives. It emphasizes the importance of anchoring our hearts and minds in His presence. Living daily with Jesus means allowing His teachings to guide us, nurturing our faith through prayer and worship. Ending our day with Jesus reminds us that His love and grace accompany us always, providing comfort and strength no matter the circumstances we face. This cycle of beginning, remaining, and concluding our endeavors with Jesus fosters a deeper relationship with Him and cultivates a sense of peace that transcends our understanding. Prayer: Heavenly Father, I come before you with a heart full of gratitude and reverence. Thank you for the gift of Your Son, Jesus, who is the source of my strength and hope. I acknowledge that starting each day with Him centers my thoughts and intentions, providing a clear path through the chaos of life. Help me to remember that every sunrise is an opportunity to invite Jesus into my heart and decisions. As I rise each morning, may I seek His guidance, allowing His light to illuminate the way ahead. Lord, I pray for the strength to stay steadfast in my faith. In a world filled with distractions and challenges, it is easy to lose sight of Your promises. But by staying with Jesus through prayer, scripture, and fellowship, I find the courage to persevere in the face of adversity. Fill me with Your Spirit, that I may remain anchored in His love and truth, cultivating the fruits of the Spirit in my life. May my actions reflect His love to those around me, drawing others to the hope that only He can provide. As my day draws to a close, I seek to end with Jesus, reflecting on His teachings and the ways I have seen His presence in my life. In those quiet moments before sleep, I want to offer my heart in thanksgiving for the blessings of the day and to seek forgiveness for the times I may have strayed. Help me to lay down my worries and burdens at Jesus’ feet, trusting that He carries them for me. As I rest, remind me of Your everlasting love and grace, assuring me that tomorrow brings a fresh start with Him. In all of this, I ask for Your guidance, to start, stay, and end each day with Jesus, knowing that He is my rock and my salvation. May His peace reign in my heart, today and always. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
