Let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath

So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God. James 1:19 Merciful Father, I humbly come to you today to ask for your forgiveness, to ask you to cleanse me from all unrighteousness. Teach me patience, remind me to listen and never to react in anger, Father God, give me a loving, forgiving and gentle spirit, one that is after your own heart, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

My help comes from the Lord

I lift up my eyes to the mountains where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip— he who watches over you will not slumber. Psalm 121:1-3 I lift up my eyes to my Lord, the maker of heaven and earth, where I know my help comes from. Thank you father God, for your mercy and grace, I know that you are not asleep, and nothing comes to you as a surprise. I know that everything happens in my life for a reason and you make all things beautiful in your time. Please continue to watch over me, O Lord, continue to walk at my side and lift me up, as I bring you glory and honor in all I do, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Do everything without grumbling

Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation. "Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life.  Philippians 2:14-15 Heavenly Father, I want to be blameless and pure in your sight, I want to do things without grumbling or arguing. Help me shine for you, O Lord, and hold firmly to your Word as I do everything for your glory and your honor, 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

Pray continually

Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:15-18 Father God, you are my King and my God, my stronghold and my strength in times of trouble, and I thank you for always hearing my prayers. I ask that you fill me with your Spirit, O Lord, may no circumstance steal the joy and peace that you have given me. May my heart always rejoice with thanksgiving and may your love dwell richly in me as I trust in you, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Believe and not doubt

If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. James 1:5-7 Merciful God in heaven, blessed be your name in all of the earth, thank you for your mercy and grace. I need the wisdom that can only come from you, O Lord, remove any doubts and fears from my heart. Help me believe that you will do as you have promised and trust in you with all of my heart as I walk in your ways, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

The heavens declare the glory of God

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. Yet their voice goes out into all the earth their words to the ends of the world. Psalm 19:1-4 Creator of heaven and earth, I stand in awe daily of your marvelous works, the heavens proclaim the work of your hands and the beauty of your love. Father, continue to work in me, may I also be the work of your Holy hands and may my voice always proclaim what an amazing and awesome God I serve, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen
