Those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit

But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit. So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up Galatians 6:8-9 Father God, help me do everything I do for your glory and never tired of doing what is good in your sight.Take everything that is not good out of my heart and replace it with your goodness and love, O Lord, may I live to please your Spirit and harvest everlasting life, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

For the word of God is alive and powerful

For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. Hebrews 4:12 Lord, your word is truly living and powerful, it penetrates our hearts and minds and it applies to us today as much as it did to your children thousands of years ago. Give me hunger for your Word, O God, give me wisdom and understanding that I may use it to bring hope to others and not as a weapon against them. May your wonderful, powerful and living word be a guiding light in my daily walk with you, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God

So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most. Hebrews 4:16 Gracious and loving Father in heaven, you are faithful, just and loving and I thank you for loving us unconditionally and being patient with us. I come boldly to your throne of grace today, O Lord, to ask for your blessings, for your forgiveness, mercy and grace. I ask that you will fill me with your peace, strengthen my spirit and walk with me through the difficult times in my life, may I feel your loving arms around me as I lay all my burdens at your feet, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is good for you and leads you along the paths you should follow

“I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is good for you and leads you along the paths you should follow. Oh, that you had listened to my commands! Then you would have had peace flowing like a gentle river and righteousness rolling over you like waves in the sea.  Isaiah 48:17-18 Sovereign Lord, my Redeemer, help me to know your ways, teach me your paths, lead me in your truth, be my refuge and my fortress. May I have peace flowing like a gentle river as I follow you and walk in you ways, O Lord, and surrender my will to you, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

These trials will show that your faith is genuine

So be truly glad There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while. These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.1 Peter 1:6-7 Merciful and loving Father in heaven, thank you for showing me your great love and grace even through the trials in life. May I bring you praise, glory and honor as you give me the strength to endure and overcome whatever comes my way, O Lord. Remove all impurities in my life and make me pure as gold, help me remain strong and genuine in faith as I put my trust in you and allow you to lead me though the path you have set before me, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Your unfailing love, O Lord, is as vast as the heavens

Your unfailing love, O Lord, is as vast as the heavens; your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds. Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your justice like the ocean depths. You care for people and animals alike, O Lord. How precious is your unfailing love, O God!  Psalm 36:5-7 Father God, I will never be able to comprehend how merciful your love for us is, it never fails and it never runs out, you loved us before we even knew you and you care for everything and everyone you created.  How precious indeed is your unfailing, unconditional love, O God, draw me close to you with loving kindness and pour out your unfailing love on me each morning you have blessed me with a new day of life that I may bring you honor and glory, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

But as for me and my family, we will serve the Lord

Serve the Lord alone. But if you refuse to serve the Lord, then choose today whom you will serve. Would you prefer the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates? Or will it be the gods of the Amorites in whose land you now live? But as for me and my family, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua 24:14-15 I choose to serve you wholeheartedly Lord, because you alone are my God, you have blessed me and kept me in your loving hands. Search my heart and purify it O God, help me put away anything that may interfere with my walk with you or may lead to spiritual destruction. Don't let me become distracted by the passing concerns and pleasures of this world, but keep my eyes fixed on you and an eternal life at your side, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen
