Be made new in the attitude of your minds

  You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. Ephesians 4:22-24 Father God, King of kings, Lord of lords, you are faithful, merciful, righteous and holy, I ask you to help me put away anything in my life that is ungodly, anything that is unrighteous, does not please you or bring your glory.

Whoever lives in love lives in God

And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. 1 John 4:16 Great and awesome God, who keeps His covenant and mercy with those who love you, you are mighty, loving, forgiving and merciful and I'm thankful to be your child. May I abide in your amazing love, O Lord, as you abide in me, guide me, mold me and fill me with your Spirit, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness

  Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses. 1 Timothy 6:11-12 Help me fight the good fight of faith, O God, to stand strong in the midst of trouble and temptations and remain pure in your sight. Help me remember that you are always watching over me, Father ,and to focus on an eternal life at your precious side, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Cling to what is good

  Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good. Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another; not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer  Romans 12:9-12 Thank you Lord, for the amazing privilege you have given us to be able to come to you anytime with our prayers. I bring all my cares and burdens and lay them at your feet, O God, I ask that you take care of them and fill me with your Spirit. Help me love without hypocrisy, abhor what is evil, cling to what is good and rejoice in the hope I have in you, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

God is love

  Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.  1 John 4:7-8 Almighty God in heaven, I come to your throne of grace today with a grateful heart and I thank you for your merciful love. Let me be an instrument of your love, O Lord, let me be your hands and feet and see the need of others, that they may see your love in me and all I do, I pray in Jesus' name.  Amen

​Love bears all things

  ​Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 1 Corinthians 13:7 Merciful and Mighty God, thank you for not giving up on me, a sinner, thank you for being so patient and waiting while you mold me into the person you created me to be. Help me not to give up on those I love either, but to wait patiently and love unconditionally. Keep reminding me there is hope with you and that prayer is powerful and effective when we are obedient to your will, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Love never fails

  Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.1 Corinthians 13:6-7 Loving Father in heaven, thank you for your unfailing love, help me remember that life is too short to live with anger, hatred or bitterness. Help me not to delight in evil, not to keep record of wrongs, or live regretting the past, O Lord. May the desire of my heart be to seek and focus on you, to serve you and love like Jesus,  that I may witness your amazing love at work in my life and rejoice with the truth, I pray in His precious name. Amen

Nothing will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord

  For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38 Merciful Lord, thank you for the hope and love you have given us in your Son, Jesus. May I treasure and reflect on your everlasting love and remember that nothing I have ever done, or will do, will ever separate me from your love. Live in me, O God, fill me with your loving kindness and help me be a reflection of your amazing love, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him

  And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28 Father God, thank you for reminding me that you are in control of everything, that you know what is best for us and that all things will work out according to your purpose for those who love you. Help me keep that in mind when I face trials, O Lord, strengthen my faith and help me trust in you even when things seem to be impossible, I pray in the name of your loving Son, Jesus. Amen
