S - 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
O - Peter is talking about the end of the world coming and that some people do not believe that it is coming and that the Lord is slacking in bringing the end. However, He is just waiting so that people can hear the word and not perish.
A - God clearly doesn't want anyone to perish. Because of this, I need to be one that boldly proclaims His message so that these people can hear and have an opportunity to know the true Jesus Christ. He is so great and powerful and full of love and this is the message that I need to share both with words and actions on a daily basis.
P - God, you are good! I want to be a messenger for you and to boldly proclaim your name in everything I do. Give me the courage and the words to do this. Help me to constantly have a good attitude and a positive outlook in everything so that others see that goodness through me and want to know who and what I know. Thank you for all of the many, many blessings that you have given to my family and me. Help me to use this blessings to further your kingdom every single day.

Love One Another - 1 Peter 4
S - 1 Peter 4: 8 And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.”
O - Peter is commanding the people to love one another.
A - I should constantly be loving those around me. If I truly love someone, the faults and/or sins of these individuals will be easily covered up and/or forgiven by me. This holds true for those that are my family, or an acquaintance, or a stranger, or an enemy. Regardless of the relationship that I have or don't have with a person, I should have love for them as that will only bring them closer to me and, more importantly, God.
P - God, help me to show love to everyone that I meet and know. Let this love be an unconditional love that shows them that regardless of how they treat me or others that they are loved. This love can only be shown by your presence and conviction in my life. Thank you for your promise to be with me daily. Thank you also for your example of true love through your son Jesus Christ. I worship you and stand in awe before you.

Suffer for Doing Good - 1 Peter 3
S - 1 Peter 3:17 For it is better, if it is the will of God, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.
O - Peter is talking about that it is better to suffer or persecuted for doing good than it is for doing evil.
A - There will/may be times in my life that I suffer and/or are persecuted for doing good. However, it is better to suffer for doing good things than for suffering for doing bad things as once the dust settles, people will see that I'm still standing and confident in the fact that I have God with me and that the suffering was temporary. The key phrase in this verse is, "if it is the will of God". God never gives me more than I can handle and those obstacles that he does give me are those that will help refine me and make me a better person. With God on my side and protecting me from sufferings that I may not be able to handle, I know that I can get through any suffering that may come my way and I will continue to focus on just doing good all the time, no matter what.
P - Heavenly Father, thank you for your promise to watch over me and protect me. I need your protection and wisdom daily. Bless my family and me today and use me to further your kingdom and for your glory.

Honor All People - 1 Peter 2
S - 1 Peter 1:17 Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
O - Peter is talking about submitting to authority in this section. He makes the statement though to honor all people and to love the brotherhood while talking about authority.
A - I need to always honor those in authority in my life, but as Peter says here I also need to honor ALL people and to love the brotherhood or other Christians. I think that Peter says this so that it is easier for me to honor the government. If I am already honoring all people then honoring the government just falls into place as I am already honoring them. This doesn't mean that I can't disagree with them nor should blindly follow them. I believe that God will speak into my heart and mind and show me if there are any areas that I can work with the government to improve on things.
P - Heavenly Father, Thank you for the governing authorities in my life. Bless them and give them wisdom and understanding from you to do the right thing for those that they are governing. Help me to be that leader that those that follow me want and desire to follow and to make decisions that will be good and beneficial to them.

Tested Faith - 1 Peter 1
S - 1 Peter 1:7 that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ
O - Peter is talked about the faith that they have and the glory it will send up to God. He says that it will be tested by fire but that it will continue to praise, bring honor and glory to God.
A - I am no different than the receivers of this epistle. I too will have trials come against me but because of my faith I will be able to get through these, but more importantly, show praise, honor and glory to God that others can see. This will be a testament to God and His great glory. I need to lean on my faith and know that God will only allow those trials in my life that I can handle and when I get through them, I will be better off than before.
P - God, You are amazing. I am now able to see your goodness and your true love! I want to serve you regardless of the struggles and trials that I may face in order to give you glory, praise and honer. Bless my family and me today and strengthen our faith. Give us your wisdom and your discernment.

Living Honorably - Hebrews 13
S - Hebrews 13:18 Pray for us; for we are confident that we have a good conscience, in all things desiring to live honorably.
O - He is ending the letter and asking them to pray for him. He wants to remain having a good conscience and live honorably.
A - I too want to live a life with a good clean conscience and I desire to live a 100% honorable life. This can only be done through the grace of Jesus Christ. Others see this lack or fullness of honorable living regardless of how much I think they can and it is a testimony for Jesus. Additionally, I need to display this ALL of the time as an example for my children.
P - God, I desperately need your help and guidance. I desire to have a good clean conscience and to always live honorably. Help me to be very cognisant of my conscience and an ability to see the honorable path in every choice that I am confronted with. I really want to be more like you and to be that man that leads and is full of integrity every single day. I also want to be that father that holds the heart of my children and is respected and adored but more importantly gives them an example of what it really means to be a follower of Christ.

Be Holy - Hebrews 12
S - Hebrews 12:14 Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord
O - We are to look for and strive to have peace with all people and to display holiness. These characteristics will show people the Lord.
A - In many people's lives they don't know and see the Lord. I am to be that image of the Lord by being holy. When I create peace with people and think, speak, and act with holiness this may be the only image that they have ever seen of the Lord. Additionally, my children see the Lord through me so it is vital that I be the holy father that they can then have that relationship with the Heavenly Father.
P - Father, help me to be more and more like you. Help me to be that father that my children so desperately need and want. I want to strive for excellence and holiness in everything that I do and to stand out in a crowd as one that is holy and full of integrity in everything that I do. Bless my family and me today and be with us always.

Faith - Hebrews 11
S - Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
O - This if the faith chapter where the old testament characters are talked about in dealing with faith. Faith is what is used when hoping for something and all that exists when something is not seen.
A - Faith, to me, is more than just rhetoric. Faith is so essential in life and needs to be continually built up in many areas. Since faith is the only evidence of things not seen, my faith needs to be rock solid to withstand that tests of time and the tests from the devil. The devil and this world will come against my faith in a blatant attempt to through me off course and to rattle my cage. Faith comes by hearing the word of God, therefore, I need to be continually searching and reading His word to strengthen my faith and to talk about it frequently.
P - Heavenly Father, Thank you for your Word. Thank you for your sacrifice. Help me to be well grounded in your word and to strengthen my faith daily so that none of the fiery darts from the devil can penetrate my faith. Help my family also have that strong and sincere faith and help me to encourage and build that up inside each and every one of them.

Hold Fast - Hebrews 10
S - Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.
O - Here he is talking about how Jesus paid the price for our sins and no longer need to give sacrifices to God. In addition to this, we are to hold fast to the hope that He has given to us.
A - There are times that I may want to give up hope in going through life as well as question did Jesus really die for ME. This verse is a great reminder to never, never lose that hope as what He did for us was really for us and He remains as faithful today as He was when He was on the earth in human form.
P - God, Thank you for sending you son Jesus to take away our sins and to give us grace and power to live as you did. Help me to focus on your sacrifice daily and to remember that you are always faithful. Be with me and my family today and watch over us all.

Better than the Law - Hebrews 7
S - Hebrews 7:19 for the law made nothing perfect; on the other hand, there is the bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.
O - The law can not make anyone perfect but because of Jesus there is now hope and through Him we are able to draw near to God.
A - The law was created by God to give direction and guidance to the Israelites as they were waiting for the messiah to come. These laws were there to keep their minds and bodies clean and to also show sorrow and repentance for sins that they committed. Once Jesus came and paid the ultimate sacrifice for us we no longer are under the law and as the verse says, we now have better hope and can draw near to Him. Let me focus on Him and the marvelous deeds that He did to bring me that hope instead of trying to live up to the law and/or judge others based on the law as He lived up to the law perfectly for us. This however, does not mean that we should not strive for perfection.
P - Heavenly Father, Thank you for your son and the sacrifice that He gave for us to be brought near to you. I want to live my life for you and to be perfect but I thank you for the forgiveness that you have given me. Help me to use that grace and power to overcome the sins that try to creep into my life and help me to train my children in these ways as well.

S - Hebrews 6:14 saying, “Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.” 17 Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath
O - God had promised to bless and multiple Abraham in verse 14. Then in verse 17, He is promised this to the heirs, which is us.
A - God is a God that cannot lie and He had made an oath to Abraham which also applies to us. In this oath He has promised both blessings and multiplication. Anytime that I am felling beaten down or frustrated in pursuing the goal that God has laid out before me, I need to focus on this oath. What an amazing blessing He has promised to me!
P - God, Thank you so much for promising blessings and multiplication in my life. I need your help and guidance and ask for you to speak ever so clearly to me so that I can fulfill the goals and path that you have set for me. Bless my day today and bless my entire family as you have promised.

Don't become dull of hearing - Hebrews 5
S - Hebrews 5:11 of whom we have much to say, and hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.
O - He is talking to the Hebrews in this verse about Christ being the High Priest but that they can't understand this because they have become dull of hearing. The Amplified version says since you have become dull in your [spiritual] hearing and sluggish [even [f]slothful in achieving spiritual insight].
A - I need to continually be in the Word and hunger for more truth. If I'm not going forward in my growth I am by default moving backwards and becoming dull in my spiritual hearing and slothful in achieving spiritual insight. By striving and gaining this insight I am able to hear Him more clearly and let what is inside of me out and let others see that light that only comes from Him.
P - God, I worship you today as you have paid the ultimate sacrifice for me. I know that you only did this because you love me and everyone else. Help me to show that same love to everyone that I come into contact with but especially my family. Thank you for your Word and letting us have ready access to it to continue to grow with insight. Bless our day today and be with us all.

Tools to Assist in Life - Hebrews 4
S - Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
O - The word of God if living and powerful and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. And by going to the throne of God, mercy and grace will be given.
A - These verses show that there are two very important things that can help provide power, grace, discernment, and mercy; the Word of God and going to Him boldly. Everyday I need wisdom and discernment in my life and it says here that the Word of God can provide that. I need to daily be in the Word to fill my inner being completely so that the Word flows out of me and that I am able to easily discern things. Also, there are times of need and trials in life and it says to boldly go to Him and I will receive mercy and find grace. This is a truth that I need to tuck deep down in my heart and call on in times of trouble as He will provide way more grace and peace in times of trouble than anyone or anything else can.
P - Heavenly Father, Thank you so very much for your word and for allowing us to boldly come to you in times of need. I praise your name and know that you reign above all else and are the only one worthy of my praise and attention. Keep me and my family ever near you and help us feel your presence daily. I pray for wisdom and discernment as we go through this journey of adoption. Let us know exactly your will for us and these children. Use me as a vessel for your kingdom.

Partaker of Christ - Hebrews 3
S - Hebrews 3:14 For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end
O - We are partakers of Christ because of what He did for us. We, however, need to remain committed and steadfast throughout our lives.
A - A partaker is someone who has a portion of or shares something. Being a partaker therefore means that we actually has a portion of Christ in us. Because of this, I can act and think as He does and need to shine my light so that other can also she Him through me. I also need to be aware that there are trials and tribulations that will come against me through my life and that I need to stand steadfast with Him. He has promised to be with me everyday and I need to lean on Him and not on my own understanding to be steadfast to Him all the days of my life.
P - God, You are truly amazing and worthy of every ounce of praise that you receive. I love you and want to live my life for you. Thank you for the promise of always being with me and my family and letting us have a portion of you inside of us. Bless our day today.

Humility - Proverbs 25
S - 6 Do not exalt yourself in the presence of the king,
And do not stand in the place of the great;
7 For it is better that he say to you,
“ Come up here,”
Than that you should be put lower in the presence of the prince,
Whom your eyes have seen.
O - Solomon is talking about being being less visible to the king and having the king request you to come to him instead of being right in front of him and having him move you out of his presence.
A - This talks about humility; the correct meaning of humility, in my mind. Humility is not when an person thinks less of himself or is unwilling to step up to the plate when there is need because it might put himself in the spotlight. Instead, it is when a person does what is needed or necessary but doesn't need to tell others about it. In having this true humility and being led by the Spirit, I will be one that kings, or leaders, will take notice of and want me in their presence.
P - Heavenly Father, help me to be filled with humility and be led by you daily. Give me the strength daily to do what is right and to fulfill your calling on my life. I know that by doing this I will be noticed without having to shout it from the rooftops. Bless my day and bless my family and keep them safe.

Do Not Fear - Proverbs 24
S - 16 For a righteous man may fall seven times
And rise again,
But the wicked shall fall by calamity.
O - The righteous man man stumble and fail multiple times but since he is righteous and has the Lord on his side, he will rise again. Without being righteous, you may not rise again.
A - There are things in life that may be very scary and I hesitate to try them since I may fail. However, because I am a righteous person and I have the Lord on my side a failure is not something to fear because I will rise again. Instead I should embrace that failure because it will be a way to learn and improve in my life. A man never willing to fail will surely never succeed.
P - Lord God, help me to remember that you are with me always and that you have promised to be there for me and help me up when I fail. I want to do great things for you and your kingdom and I ask for the strength to go out and do what you have called me to do. Help me to be that example to my children as someone who goes and does what they say they are going to do and to be a world-changer. Bless me and my family today and help us all to feel your presence.
And rise again,
But the wicked shall fall by calamity.
O - The righteous man man stumble and fail multiple times but since he is righteous and has the Lord on his side, he will rise again. Without being righteous, you may not rise again.
A - There are things in life that may be very scary and I hesitate to try them since I may fail. However, because I am a righteous person and I have the Lord on my side a failure is not something to fear because I will rise again. Instead I should embrace that failure because it will be a way to learn and improve in my life. A man never willing to fail will surely never succeed.
P - Lord God, help me to remember that you are with me always and that you have promised to be there for me and help me up when I fail. I want to do great things for you and your kingdom and I ask for the strength to go out and do what you have called me to do. Help me to be that example to my children as someone who goes and does what they say they are going to do and to be a world-changer. Bless me and my family today and help us all to feel your presence.
