Day 19: Prayer Journey for the New School Year

Hey! Good Morning! It's Friday! I'm looking forward to the weekend. Today is day 19 and we are nearing the end of our prayer journey for our new school year. Hang in there.

Today's bible verse is 1 Corinthians 13: 1-13 This is a good one. We all could probably be better at showing love.

"1. Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or tinkling cymbal.
2. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
3.And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
4. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not, charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5. Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh not evil;
6. Rejoiceth not iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7. Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
8. Charity is never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
9. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10.But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
11. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
13. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. "

Today I'm going to really think on this passage of scripture. I may print it and post it around the house as I work. Charity (love) is something that we can pass on to our children by our example.

My Prayer for today.

Dear Lord,

Not just in my school life, but in my everyday life I desire to be charitable. I want to show my kids your perfect love through example. I could talk all day about how to love, but if I don't example love in everyday life I will fall short.

In Jesus Name. Amen.
