You alone are the Lord

Blessed be your glorious name, and may it be exalted above all blessing and praise. You alone are the Lord. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you. Nehemiah 9:5-6 Blessed Lord in heaven, you are faithful, merciful and mighty, and I am thankful to know that everything is under your control and nothing formed against me shall stand when I surrender my life to you. Remind me to hold on to your promises and trust that you will always be by my side, O God, may your loving kindness and mercy be with me and may your Spirit fill my heart, with joy and peace, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

He makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image

For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.  So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord.  And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him  as we are changed into his glorious image.  2 Corinthians 3:17-18 Glorious Father in heaven, all of creation is a reflection of your amazing glory and love.  Remind me that anything that reflects hatred, violence, greed and envy is not from you.  Change  my  heart and spirit, O Lord, make me more and more like you each day  and change me into your glorious image . May  my  desire be to be a reflection of your love in all that I am and all that I do, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

The mind governed by the flesh is death

The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God. You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. Romans 8:6-9 Lord, helps us remember that you have given us victory over the flesh and that sin shall not have dominion over us. Don't let us walk in spiritual defeat, Father God, but give us the ability to fight the spiritual warfare within our hearts. May our minds be governed by your Spirit and be filled with life and peace as we submit to your will and live to please you, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

When my spirit grows faint within me, it is you who watch over my way

I cry aloud to the Lord;I lift up my voice to the Lord for mercy. I pour out before him my complaint; before him I tell my trouble. When my spirit grows faint within me, it is you who watch over my way. Psalm 142:1-3 Loving and merciful God in heaven, you are righteous and faithful in all your ways and I thank you for hearing my prayers, I thank you for being my refuge and help. When my spirit grows faint, fill me with your strength, show me the way I should go, O God, for to you I entrust my life, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably

Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our “God is a consuming fire.” Hebrews 12:28-29 Heavenly Lord, we give you thanks for all that you do for us, for your promises, for your amazing power and your everlasting kingdom that cannot be shaken. Help me never to fall short of your loving grace and continue to walk with me and bless me, as I put all my faith in you, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

I will magnify Him with Thanksgiving

I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify Him with Thanksgiving. Psalm 69:30 I give thanks to you, O God, for all of your wonderful blessings.Thank you for my life, my family, my health and well being. Thank you for one more day of life, Lord, another opportunity to serve you. Thank you for the freedom we share in this blessed country. Thank you for your mercy and grace, for your unfailing, unconditional love. Thank you, for your encouragement and wisdom. Thank you for your promises and protection, but most of all. Thank you, Lord, for giving me the best gift of all, eternal life at your side! Amen

Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise

Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations. Psalm 100:5-6 I praise you, my Lord and Mighty God, with all of my heart, I give you thanks for everything you have given me, for every breath I take, for every blessing you have given me and for making me your child. You are good and your love endures forever, may your faithfulness continue with us, through all generations, O Lord, may we continue receiving your mercy and grace as we praise your name and give you honor and glory, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen​
