Today's Passage: Colossians 3:15-17

And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Today's Prayer: 

Father thank you for the joyful elements of worship we have as believers. 

You’ve given us Your word to teach and encourage each other. It is alive, sufficient, authoritative, necessary,  inerrant, and clear. You’ve also given us music and song. 

Lord, allow us to yield to You and be filled with Your Holy Spirit—to partake in this joy by singing and showing gratitude outwardly or inwardly by having a song in our heart. 

Help us know that our worship, gratitude, and study of scripture is to also benefit others we are connected to in the Body of Christ. Help us work to live unified with one another and work hard for peace in a world that works hard at dissension.
