Reading God’s Word: Isaiah 60-61; Proverbs 29

Memorizing God’s Word: Isaiah 53:5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.

Meditating on God’s Word: Proverbs 29:11“Fools vent their anger, but the wise quietly hold it back.”

Praying God’s Word: “Lord God, in this new year, renew my heart to be more like Jesus in every way, but especially in the area of my actions and reactions.  Lead me away from anger and shape my heart to respond with compassion and move in love, just like you did Jesus.  In your name I pray, Amen.”
