Watchword for the week — Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. Psalm 19:14

Sunday, January 26 — Nehemiah 8:1-3,5-6,8-10; Psalm 19

A bruised reed he will not break, and a dimly burning wick he will not quench. Isaiah 42:3

Jesus said, “Take care that you do not despise one of these little ones.” Matthew 18:10

Loving Spirit, as a mother cares for her young, so you care for us. You nurture us, especially when we feel down. A light, you will not dim; you only seek to help us shine brighter. Help us to encourage our youth, ourselves, and the world with your light. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
