The REAL Lord’s Prayer

JUNE 16, 2026
Daily Reading—1 Chron. 10-11 / John 18:19-40

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

John 17:20-21 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

   Many have called Matthew 6:9-13 “The Lord’s Prayer.” However, that passage is really the Lord’s model of prayer. The best Lord’s Prayer is found in John 17. It is there that we hear the words of the Lord as He prays to His Father over what has taken place and the future of those whom He will leave behind.

    In John 17:20, He says, “Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;” Friend, way back then, Jesus prayed for you! Are you one who believed on Christ because of God’s Word shared by the Disciples? Then Jesus prayed for you. Furthermore, He is still praying for you at the right hand of the Father.  

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Doesn’t it bring you joy today to know JESUS is praying for you?

IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:

Within this reading, do I find a CHALLENGE for my life?

What actions will I take today or this week to meet this CHALLENGE?

He Keeps His Promises

JUNE 15, 2026
Daily Reading—1 Chron. 8-9 / John 18:1-18

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

John 16:22 And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

   Jesus told the disciples, Right now, you are full of sorrow. Why were they sorrowful? It was because the world they lived in for several years following Christ was coming to an end. He is talking of going away to another place with His Father. He told them they would lament or cry over His departure. It was a sad moment.

    Then He said, I will be gone, but I am coming back again. That gave the disciples great hope. Guess what? He did come back just as He said. Well, friends, He also told us that He has gone to prepare a place for us, and He is coming back again for us. We know this is true because He always keeps His promises. That promise should give you great joy; that no man can take from you.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Are you ready for His return?

They Know Not Jesus

JUNE 13 & 14, 2026
Daily Reading—1 Chron. 6-7 / John 17

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

John 16:2-3 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    Today, it would almost appear that everyone knows the scripture. It is used in movies as part of their scripts. Politicians use it to bolster poll numbers. Even religious hate groups will quote Biblical content, trying to use it against the church. The problem is, they may know the words, but they do not know the author.

    Jesus warned the disciples in His day that these people were around. He said in John 16:3, “And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.” Well, as it says in Ecclesiastes 1:9, “…there is no new thing under the sun.” How can this be changed? Only if they have a change of heart. Only if they come to know Jesus. 

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Will you pray for all those who do not know Him?

WHAT TO DO ON SUNDAY:

     On Sundays, we encourage you to attend your local church and listen intently to what God has prepared in your pastor’s heart. Write down all the scriptures he uses in that message. Then, when you get home, reread those passages for today’s reading. God has given your pastor exactly what He desires for you to have on that day.

Comforting Knowledge

JUNE 12, 2026
Daily Reading—1 Chron. 3-5 / John 16:16-33

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    What joy to know we are never left alone. Jesus said that when He would leave this earth, His Father would send another comforter. Jesus was their comforter while on earth, but He knew they would need a full-time, round-the-clock comforter once He left.

 

    When we accept Christ as our Saviour, we receive this comforter, the Holy Spirit, to reside in us. How long does Jesus say He will be with us? He said He would abide with us forever. No matter where we are, no matter what our situation, we can know the Holy Spirit is with us. We do not need to pray and call on Him to come; He is ever-present with us.  

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Could there be any more comforting knowledge than that?

Is It ME?

JUNE 11, 2026
Daily Reading—1 Chron. 1-2 / John 16:1-15

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

John 13:21 & 25 When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me….  He then lying on Jesus’ breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it?

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    ou might think, after following Jesus for His earthly ministry, the disciples would know in their hearts they loved Him and would not betray Him. Several times, Peter piped up and said, “Not ME! I will follow you wherever you go!” Yet when Jesus said one would betray Him, all the disciples wondered, “Is it ME?”

 

    As believers, we know that we love the Lord. We know we have by faith accepted His precious gift of salvation. Yet we must ask, as did the disciples, Have I betrayed the love of Christ? Can we say we are serving Him, sharing the gospel as commanded, and living for Him, as we should? Oh, how good to know we serve a loving and forgiving God.  

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Yet on occasion, we must ask ourselves, “Is It ME?”
