Commit to the Lord whatever you do

All a person’s ways seem pure to them, but motives are weighed by the Lord. Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans. The Lord works out everything to its proper end. Proverbs 16:2-4 Mighty and loving God in heaven, I know I can make all the plans I want, but without your help and blessings they will not succeed. I commit everything I do to you, O Lord, I ask that you bless me as I put my trust in you. Give me a pure and clean heart, lead me the way I should go and teach me your will, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

I believe, therefore I speak

Since we have that same spirit of faith, we also believe and therefore speak, because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you to himself. 2 Corinthians 4:13-14 Gracious Lord in heaven, thank you for the hope you have given us, the grace that is reaching more and more people every day, causing thanksgiving to overflow from our hearts. May your light shine in our hearts to give us the light of your knowledge, your wisdom, your peace and your everlasting love. Fill us with your Spirit, O God, as we live for you each day and proclaim your glory, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Be imitators of God, as beloved children

Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. Ephesians 5:1-2 Thank you Lord for your compassion, forgiveness, mercy and grace, I am so thankful for your amazing and everlasting love. Help me walk in love, to imitate you, your goodness, your kindness, to be the child you meant for me to be, O God. Help me be a fragrant offering for you in this world and for your kingdom, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Take delight in the Lord

Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun. Psalm 37:4-6 Lord God, I delight in you, your Word and your promises, I thank you for being faithful and loving, and for loving me as I am. I come to you in repentance and accept your free gift of salvation through your son, Jesus, I commit my way to yours. Give me hunger for your Word and a heart for the lost, O God, I ask you to remove from my heart anything that is unrighteous in your eyes, take the desires of my heart and replace them with yours, fill me with your Spirit that my desires become yours, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen
​And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us. The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us. 1 John 3:23-24 Heavenly Father, thank you for your amazing and unfailing love, thank you for the gift of salvation through your Son, Jesus. Please change my heart and fill me with your Holy Spirit that I may be able to love as you do, and forgive as you do, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen
The faithful love of the Lord never ends His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; His mercies begin afresh each morning. Lamentations 3:22-23 Faithful Lord in heaven, great is your faithfulness, your mercies never cease, I thank you because your word is full of hope, tenderness, compassion and love. I know that I stumble and fall because I am not perfect, but I'm thankful that your loving mercy and grace begin afresh each morning. May I walk refreshed with your Spirit, O God, full of hope and joy as I keep faithfully trusting and loving you, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen
And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. Hebrews 11:6 Blessed Lord in heaven, I humbly come to your throne of grace with reverence and awe, with a thankful and believing heart. I ask you to cleanse me from all unrighteousness and help me to do what pleases you, O God. I ask that you give me the desire to earnestly seek you daily with all my soul and to always believe and trust in your faithful and loving promises, I pray in Jesus' precious name. Amen
I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go. If only you had paid attention to my commands, your peace would have been like a river, your well-being like the waves of the sea. Isaiah 48:17-18 Lord, my God, I give you praise for your abundant mercy and grace, I thank you for your faithfulness even though we are not faithful to you. Please guide my path, O God, let your peace reign in my heart as you teach me your will, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

You forming me when I was in my mother's womb

​For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. Psalm 139:13-14 I praise you Lord for loving me and forming me when I was in my mother's womb, for putting me in her loving care to be raised, loved and nurtured by her. Even in her womb, your eyes saw my unformed body and you already had plans for my life, your hand has guided me and led me to where I am today. Help me to trust in you completely, O Lord, and to become the person you created me to be, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

We are in him who is true by being in his Son Jesus Christ

  We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. 1 John 5:20 Merciful and loving Father, giver of life, thank you for sending us your Son to bring us understanding and knowledge of your truth. Keep my eyes focused on you, O God, keep reminding me there is something greater waiting for me and though the evil one has control of this world, he doesn't have control over me because I am your child, I pray in your wonderful Son Jesus' 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 8:38-39 Merciful Lord, I will never understand your unconditional love, I will never understand how much I mean to you, but I am truly thankful for your love and blessings, thankful to know that nothing I ever do will separate me from your love. Help me walk in your ways, O God, and be obedient to your will that the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in your sight, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

I can do all this through Christ who strengthens me

  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 all this through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:12-13 Father in heaven, blessed be your Holy name, thank you for your abundant blessings, thank you for being my God and my Father. Strengthen my faith, help me overflow with thankfulness and be content in every situation, O Lord, keep reminding me that I can do all things with you at my side, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen
