Psalms 148:1-14. Looking around me right now, what are some examples I can see of how God’s creation wordlessly praises and exalts him? How does my day get better as I take note of this?

Acts 9:32-43. Peter heals a crippled man and a lifeless woman, as he had seen Jesus do. For whom shall I pray healing today?
Mark 2:13-17. Who is Jesus putting in my path today and challenging me to show them a glimpse of His love, outside my comfort zone?
