MYB Daily Prayer

  • Testimony

    I accepted Jesus into my life when I was a young child. I was in bed one night and trying to go to sleep when I was struck with this overwhelming, emotional feeling that I wanted to “be good”. It is hard to articulate at a young age what you mean, but I remember it…

  • Love Yourself

    I want to say…How grateful I am for the struggle. I could be living a stagnant life, but in reflection I realize, my life has NEVER been stagnant.

  • God’s Providence

    A while ago, I came into my room to do my reading/praying and I first looked up the definition of providence (because of the sermon today):In religious context refers to divine care or guidance, often seen as a manifestation of God’s benevolent (well meaning and kindly) influence in the world. So many things happened to…

  • My Testimony (short version)

    I was saved and baptized as a child, but subsequently did not receive the continued education in the Word, the pouring into my heart of God’s word. Thus started my life of knowing God, but not truly knowing God. My perception of God was skewed and there were a lot of things I didn’t understand.…
