By Pastor Joe Valenti \"Pastor Joe, who should I vote for?\" The question was posed to me in the church hallway a few weeks ago by a woman who genuinely wanted my opinion. Her concern centered on the fact that each party and politician has flaws. At the risk of sounding cheesy, Jesus isn\'t running…
O God, Ruler of all creation, I praise You for being the Master who rules and reigns over all. As the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, so my eyes look to You, Lord God (Psalm 123:2). As Your servant, it is right for me to give You my complete obedience. But my…
O God, my Father, I give You praise that You have not only revealed Yourself as our Creator, King, and Judge – titles that emphasize Your power, authority, and sovereignty over us, but You have also revealed Yourself as the eternal Father – a title that emphasizes Your loving heart.

O Lord God, the Source of wisdom, truth, and goodness, How deep are Your riches and wisdom and knowledge, God! How unsearchable are Your judgments and how inscrutable are Your ways (Romans 11:33). Your foolishness is wiser than men, and Your weakness is stronger than men (1 Corinthians 1:25). You are wonderful in counsel and…

God of light and love, You made the stars to worship You. The mountains bow in reverence to You. You caused the oceans to roar Your greatness. Since everything exists to lift You high, so will I. You are worthy. You are not only worthy to be worshipped, You are worthy to be imitated. In…
Dear Lord God almighty, my heavenly Father, You have called us to love – freely, fully, unconditionally. You gave us Your word to teach us what loves does. You have sent Your Son to show us Who love is. Yet I have chosen to live selfishly. No matter how hard I try, I cannot love…
Dear Giver of life, You alone are the Lord. You have made the heavens, the heaven of heavens with all their host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to all of them. And the heavenly host bows down before You (Nehemiah 9:6).…
