Verse of the Day
You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous-how well I know it.– Psalm 139:13-14 (NLT)
Prayer
Gracious God, I dedicate this day to You. Show me how to prepare for You to move in my life. Help me guard my words and thoughts as I put my trust in You. Lord, be with me this day. Search my life, and help me to correct the wrong things that I do. Keep me walking in the light, and prevent me from straying into darkness. Abba Father, today I stand believing that You are working quietly on my behalf. Give me Your strength to continue believing until I see Your promises fulfilled
Father in heaven, we are acknowledging that you are the ultimate definer of reality, the first tiller of all things. We live and lead within the reality you have created and the values you have revealed. Help me this day to get rid of any selfish ambition in my life so that through my words and deeds others may see Christ through me. Give me a humble spirit and a servant’s heart. Give me open eyes to look at those around me so that I can show them kindness, love and appreciation. Guide my family today and may each of us do all we do today to honor Your name. Help us to always give You the glory for what You enable us to achieve in life. Lord, help me to live a pure life today, honoring You with my thoughts and my actions.
Eternal God, teach me the way of a complete and unbroken trust. In my disappointments, and in my devotions, may my faith and hope be as immortal as my soul. May I listen for Your voice and answer Your call. Jesus, I present my prayer in Your precious name before my God, Father in heaven. Amen
