Holy Spirit, we ask that you would speak to us and provide us with words of encouragement for those around us whenever the opportunity presents itself. Amen

Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you, unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.

Jesus, this is the heart of the gospel message, that you died for our sins and you rose again on the third day. We stand on this truth and this truth is what we will proclaim. Amen

I will return again to my place, until they acknowledge their guilt and seek my face, and in their distress earnestly seek me. (ESV)

So she called the name of the Lord who spoke to her, You are a God of seeing, for she said, Truly here I have seen him who looks after me. (ESV)

For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. (ESV)

Jesus, You have set us free and may we use that freedom to serve as you served and to love as you love. Amen

And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. (ESV)

Lord, write your words on the tablet of my heart so that I will take every opportunity to speak them to my family and those around me. Amen
