Our joy is not rooted in our circumstances, but in the unchangeable relationship we have with Christ.

As we pray that the Lord would "lead us not into temptation", we pray that He would give us hearts and minds to flee temptation. Do we wake up each day realizing we're in the midst of spiritual warfare?

When we pray "give us this day, our daily bread", how do we glorify God? Do we have an attitude of gratitude, contentment, and dependence when we pray this prayer?

Praying "Thy will be done" necessitates self denial. If we don't know how to deny our own will, we will never submit to God's.

The Lord's Prayer teaches us to put the needs of the Kingdom above our own. Are we willing to let the Lord have His way with us completely, or is there sin in our lives that we refuse to do away with?

The Lord's Prayer forces us to examine what it means to us that God is our Father. Do we hallow His name, or are we too busy focusing on ourselves?

We've heard the Gospel, but what will we do with it? Are there idols we need to renounce? Will we walk in the ways of the Lord?

To whom much is given, much is demanded. Are we living for Christ and His glory?

As the people of Israel head towards a time of exile, Hosea reminds them of their history in order to encourage them to wait on the Lord and His timing for restoration.

Despite the rebellion of God's people, God is committed to showing them grace and covenant love.
