Daily Faith & Family Formation

Oh Lord, as each day starts anew, I know all things are made by You

You make the clouds and gentle rain. You make the sun come out again.

You make the rainbow in the sky, and the birds that fly up high.

You make the flowers and every tree. Thank You, God, for blessing me.

Amen

From "My First Prayers" by Autumn Publishing

"Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.

Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song.

For the Lord is the great God, the great King above all gods.

In his hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him."

I always learn scripture better when I can put music to it. If that sounds like you, too, you can use this music video to help you remember this verse about our praise and worship to our great God.

• Watch the short lesson from Mrs. Baron using the video below AND
• Discuss some of the difficult situations that the Lord guided you through. Does it give you hope for any hardships you are going through today?

• Open up your family Bible or children's Bible and read this story together.
• This story about the 10 lepers can be found in Luke 17:11-19.

• Isaiah 43:2-4 - "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
  and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze...Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you, I will give people in exchange for you, nations in exchange for your life."
• Philippians 4:6 - "Do not be anxious about anything but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving present your request to God."

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8), and because He is steadfast, who we are in Him remains the same regardless of circumstances. These statements remind us whose we are and who we are Because of who Jesus is.

Speak these statements together as a family.

Now, before I run to play, let me not forget to pray

To God who kept me through the night and woke me with the morning light

Help me, Lord, to love Thee more than I have ever loved before

In my work and in my play, be Thou with me through the day

Amen
