​No one can serve two masters

​No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.

You have been born again

Now that you have obeyed the truth and have purified your souls to love your brothers sincerely, you must love one another intensely and with a pure heart. For you have been born again, not by a seed that perishes but by one that cannot perish—by the living and everlasting word of God. 1 Peter 1:22-23 Gracious and loving Father, thank you for making me your child, for allowing me to be born again, to be born of your Spirit and love.

The one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world

You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. 1 John 4:4 Merciful Lord in heaven, I thank you for your promises, for the hope you have given us in Jesus. Remind us daily that we belong to you, that no matter what we go through, you are in control and we should not live in fear of the unknown, but trust in your power and strength. Remind us, O God, that you are greater than any problem we face and we already stand in victory because we belong to you, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

if anything is excellent or praiseworthy think about such things

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Philippians 4:8 Gracious Father in heaven, I humbly ask that you cleanse my heart and mind, remove any thoughts that are not in alignment with your truth. Help me to examine my thoughts in light of your word at all times. O God, purify my mind and my heart so that evil will not find a dwelling within. Overflow them with your love, peace, joy, gentleness, kindness, and mercy and let me focus on everything that is praiseworthy, pure and lovely, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask— we know that we have what we asked of him. 1 John 5:13-15 Merciful and faithful Lord, I know that I can be at peace because you are in control of everything in my life and that you have a great plan and purpose for my life.I thank you for hearing my prayers and answering them according to your merciful will, even when I cannot see.

Amen

Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak

My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. James 1:19-21 Father in heaven, Creator of all, I humbly come to you asking you to change my heart and help me get rid of anything that is not of you. Help me, O Lord, to be a good listener and to control my emotions and my tongue that I may not sin against you. May your word be planted deep in my heart forever and may my actions reflect my love for you, I pray in Jesus name. Amen

Teach me your ways

​Look upon me and be merciful to me, As Your custom is toward those who love Your name. Direct my steps by Your word, And let no iniquity have dominion over me. Redeem me from the oppression of man, That I may keep Your precepts. Make Your face shine upon Your servant, And teach me Your statutes. Psalm 119:32-34 Merciful Father in heaven, direct my steps by your word and let me cling to your testimonies. Teach me your ways, O Lord, and give me understanding. May your mercies come to me and your salvation according to your word, let no iniquity have dominion over me. May your face shine upon me each day as I seek your precepts and keep my heart blameless in your sight, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you,

​Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; love and faithfulness go before you,' Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, Lord. They rejoice in your name all day long; they celebrate your righteousness. Psalm 89:14-16 Father God, I acclaim you as my king and Lord and thank you for your promises, your love and faithfulness. You are my God, my Father, my Redeemer, my Healer, my Rock, my Strength and my Lord. I rejoice knowing that the very same God who created the universe is the same God I can claim as my Father and my King. May I walk in the light of your presence, O Lord, may you guide my steps and bring me closer to you as I put all my trust in you, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

For we brought nothing into the world

But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. 1 Timothy 6:6-8 Thank you Lord for reminding me that no matter what we have in this world we will not take anything with us when we are called to your presence. Give me the desire to look for your heavenly riches, O God, to be content with what you have blessed me with and not to fall into temptation with harmful desires and wander from the faith, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

My times are in your hands

But I trust in you, Lord; I say, “You are my God.” My times are in your hands; deliver me from the hands of my enemies, from those who pursue me. Let your face shine on your servant; save me in your unfailing love. Let me not be put to shame, Lord, for I have cried out to you. Psalm 31:15-17 Father in heaven, blessed be your name in all of the earth, thank you for reminding me that my life is in your hands and nothing happens in my life unless you allow it.Even if I don't understand your purpose, my God, help me trust in you, shine your light on me and strengthen me. Save me in your unfailing love, may everything in my life work out according your purpose and glory, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Rivers of living water flowing from his heart

“If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink! The one who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, will have rivers of living water flowing from his heart.” John 7:37 Thank you Father for not giving up on me, for loving me with your eternal and everlasting love. Lord Jesus, become a well of water for me, springing up to eternal life, fill me that I will never thirst again and that I may worship you in spirit and truth with all of my heart, I pray in Jesus's name. Amen

Resist the devil, and he will flee from you

Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. James 4:7-8 Praise be to you, Mighty God, creator of the universe, who have great mercy and love for your people. Help me submit my whole heart to you and keep me humble, O Lord, give me the power and strength to resist the attacks of the enemy that he may flee far away from me. Keep me close to you, give me your everlasting peace and pour your Holy Spirit on me, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen
