1 Corinthians 13 is often called the “Love Chapter.” The word “love” is a repeated key word as the apostle Paul describes true love and shows us what it looks like in practice.

During His earthly ministry, Jesus embodied true love. He walked among people as the God of love in the flesh. A comparison of Paul’s description of love in 1 Corinthians 13 and Jesus’ life and ministry show us true love in action!

Ever feel unsure of what to say to God in prayer? Praying Scripture back to God is a transformative way to commune with the Lord. When we pray Scripture, we allow God to open and guide our conversation with Him—and we are transformed as our relationship with Him deepens (Romans 12:1-2).

Here’s a prayer inspired by the Lord’s Prayer, a prayer provided by Jesus to His disciples—and us—as a model for conversation with God. We hope it encourages you to know God more deeply and live differently today!

As a parent, one of the most important things you can do for your kids is model prayer. Deuteronomy 6:7-9 encourages parents to cultivate a family environment where life is lived in awareness of God’s presence at all times—with His Word front and center.

As you pray with and for your children, here are a few scriptures to pray over them!

Both you and your child are God’s workmanship, created with a purpose.
As you seek the Lord’s face, remember He is the source of blessing, security, favor, grace, and peace. He is longing to be gracious to you and your child!
Our God is also the source of truth and wisdom. Go to Him with you and your child’s hopes, fears, and needs—He will fill you both with the knowledge of His will so you can walk in His ways.

Want to keep leading your children in prayer? Try our study “Lord, Teach Me to Pray for Kids”—available in the Precept shop!

In Psalm 40:1-2, David declares the Lord’s faithfulness. Observing references to God (including pronouns), we see that David can’t stop singing God’s praises! David proclaims God to be a God who acts on our behalf as we wait for Him (Isaiah 64:4).

The only problem? For most of us, waiting doesn’t come easily.

But in this psalm, we learn from David how to faithfully wait for the Lord. The Hebrew for “I waited patiently” can be literally translated, “In waiting I waited.” David’s waiting was active and earnest, not passive. Rather than wring his hands in fear or throw up his arms in defeat, David prayed fervently—and God answered in a mighty way.

Is there an area of your life where you’ve been waiting on God? Be encouraged—God hears your prayers. He turns toward you when you seek Him, and He will draw close to you.

Genesis 1:1 : "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."
Revelation 21:6 (NASB): "Then He said to me, 'It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end.'"

As we gear up for Bible Study Season, we’re curious—where would you start? Would you rather delve into the foundational truths of Genesis, witnessing the creation of the world, the beginning of evil, and God's enduring love as He establishes His covenant? Or, would you prefer to explore Revelation, where you can uncover the ultimate victory of God, His justice, and the promise of a new heaven and new earth?

Genesis sets the stage for our faith, giving us insights into God's plan from the very beginning. Revelation, on the other hand, offers hope and assurance of God’s ultimate victory and eternal kingdom. Both studies are part of our best-selling series and perfect for deepening your understanding of God's Word.

Trust in His timing and continue to sow seeds of kindness and righteousness.

Creating—it’s a concept we often associate with human innovation, but the Bible presents a deeper, more awe-inspiring perspective. What does it mean that everything was created through and for Christ?

The word “created” here speaks to the power and authority of Christ in bringing everything into existence. It reminds us that every part of creation, seen and unseen, is intentionally crafted by Him and ultimately exists to glorify Him. So what does recognizing Christ as Creator look like, practically?

Acknowledging His Sovereignty in Every Aspect of Life: This is recognizing Christ as Creator.

Finding Purpose in His Design: This is recognizing Christ as Creator.
Worshipping Him through Our Daily Actions: This is recognizing Christ as Creator.
Trusting His Plan, Even When We Don’t Understand It: This is recognizing Christ as Creator.

As we meditate on His creative power and authority, we will be filled with wonder and gratitude, seeing our lives and the world around us in a new light. This is living in the truth of His creation!
