Day 11: Joy
May 22 • Bible reading from Philippians 4:10-13 Joy
Character: "I have inner contentment and purpose in spite of my circumstances."
________
Text:
I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you have been concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it.
I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty.
I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

Day 10: Prayer
May 21 • Bible reading from Philippians 4:4-9 Prayer
Behaviour: "Prayer is offering up our desires to God for things agreeable to His will
in the name of Christ, with confession and thankfulness."
_________
Text:
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer & petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts & your minds in Christ Jesus.
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me--put it into practice.
And the God of peace will be with you.
