FRIENDSHIP

A friend loves you all the time,

and a brother helps in time of trouble.

PROVERBS 17:17 NCV

“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s

life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what

I command. I no longer call you servants, because a

servant does not know his master’s business. Instead,

I have called you friends, for everything that I learned

from my Father I have made known to you.”

JOHN 15:13-15 NIV

There are “friends” who destroy each other,

but a real friend sticks closer than a brother.

PROVERBS 18:24 NLT

“In everything, do to others

what you would want them to do to you.”

MATTHEW 7:12 NIRV

Dear God, I love my friends, but I don’t know if they know it. It is hard for me to show them how much they are appreciated. I pray that with you as my example, my actions will show my friends that they are a blessing.

What friend can you pray for

right now?

HONOR

“My Father will honor the one who serves me.”

JOHN 12:26 NIV

Humble yourselves under the mighty power of God,

and at the right time he will lift you up in honor.

1 PETER 5:6 NLT

Anyone who wants to be godly and loving

finds life, success and honor.

PROVERBS 21:21 NIRV

Love each other like brothers and sisters. Give each

other more honor than you want for yourselves.

ROMANS 12:10 NCV

Dear God, you honor me and ask me to honor others. I should put them before myself in honor. Help me to be humble and kind. I want to be more like you every day.

How can you honor someone today?

RESPECT

Show respect for all people: Love the brothers

and sisters of God’s family, respect God, honor the king.

1 PETER 2:17 NCV

Trust in your leaders. Put yourselves under their

authority. Do this, because they keep watch over you.

They know they are accountable to God for everything

they do. Do this, so that their work will be a joy. If you

make their work a heavy load, it won’t do you any good.

HEBREWS 13:17 NIRV

Don’t do anything only to get ahead.

Don’t do it because you are proud.

Instead, be humble.

Value others more than yourselves.

PHILIPPIANS 2:3 NIRV

Dear God, sometimes I act rude or disrespectful when I disagree or don’t get my way. You say to show respect for all people and to especially respect and obey my leaders, like parents and teachers. Help me to be more respectful to everyone in my life.

How can you show respect today?

WISDOM

Wisdom will come into your mind,

and knowledge will be pleasing to you.

Good sense will protect you;

understanding will guard you

It will keep you from the wicked,

from those whose words are bad.

PROVERBS 2:10-12 NCV

Wisdom and money can get you almost anything,

but only wisdom can save your life.

ECCLESIASTES 7:12 NLT

If any of you needs wisdom, you should ask God for it.

He will give it to you. God gives freely to everyone

and doesn’t find fault.

JAMES 1:5 NIRV

Dear God, I hear adults talk about being wise and having wisdom. It’s not something I thought I could have. But you say you will give it to me if I ask for it. I want more wisdom so I can live better for you.

How could wisdom help you

make better choices?

CARING

Do not be interested only in your own life,

but be interested in the lives of others.

PHILIPPIANS 2:4 NCV

If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or

sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love

of God be in that person? Dear children, let us not love

with words or speech but with actions and in truth.

1 JOHN 3:17-18 NIV

“I was hungry. And you gave me something to eat. I was

thirsty. And you gave me something to drink. I was a

stranger. And you invited me in. I needed clothes. And

you gave them to me. I was sick. And you took care of me.

I was in prison. And you came to visit me.”

MATTHEW 25:35-36 NIRV

Dear God, I care about my family and my friends. Help me to be loving and caring like you are, and not to think only about myself.

How can you care for a friend today?

DILIGENCE

The plans of the diligent lead to profit

as surely as haste leads to poverty.

PROVERBS 21:5 NIV

Work with enthusiasm, as though you were

working for the Lord rather than for people.

EPHESIANS 6:7 NLT

Many good things come from what people say.

And the work of their hands rewards them.

PROVERBS 12:14 NIRV

We must not become tired of doing good.

We will receive our harvest of eternal life

at the right time if we do not give up.

GALATIANS 6:9 NCV

Dear God, chores and homework are not always fun. You say to work with enthusiasm and to work as if I am working for you. Help me to be more diligent and to have a better attitude about working.

What will help you become more

enthusiastic about work?
