Abide in My love

  As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love.  If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. John 15:9-10 Father, thank you for your promises that you will love us unconditionally and won’t ever leave or forsake us. Help me grow in my understanding of your eternal and unconditional love for me, a sinner. Live in my heart and make it pure, gentle and loving, O Lord, help me abide in your love and delight in your commandments, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen 

The Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you

  But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one  We have confidence in the Lord that you are doing and will continue to do the things we command. May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance. 2 Thessalonians 3:3-5 Faithful and blessed Lord in heaven, you are good and merciful, and I thank you for your promises, your protection and your amazing love. Strengthen me and protect me, direct my heart and keep reminding me that everything is in your control and nothing happens in our lives without your knowledge. Teach me to trust in you, to bring everything to you in prayer with confidence that you will take care of it all, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen 

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come

  Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: the old has gone, the new is here!  All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation 2 Corinthians 5:17-18 Father God, I am so thankful for your promises and reconciliation through your Son, Jesus. Give me guidance, wisdom and strength to be a new creation. May the desire of my heart be to please you in everything I do, Oh Lord, bless me as I put my faith and hope in you, I pray in the name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus. Amen

Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow

  Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.  Isaiah 1:18 Heavenly Father, thank you so much for your assurance of forgiveness, for reminding me that no matter how bad my sins have been you are always ready to forgive me because your love is unconditional and I am your child. Wash away my sins, O Lord, make me pure and help me to walk in your righteousness as a new creation, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials

  We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. Romans 5:3-5 Father God, it is not easy to think of rejoicing when we run into problems and trials, but I thank you for reminding us that they will help us develop endurance and strength of character, that trials make us stronger. I thank you for the hope you have given us, O Lord and for always being at our side through the darkest moments of our lives. Help us look for the positive in everything that happens in our lives, and use them to bring us closer to you, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

He will keep me safe in his dwelling

  For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent and set me high upon a rock. Psalm 27:5 Blessed Father in heaven, thank you for your protection and your amazing love, thank you for being the stronghold of my life. I ask that you continue to guard me, O God, to keep me safe in your loving arms and let me feel your presence in my life as I keep trusting in you regardless of what happens around me, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

The mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace

  The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. Romans 8:6 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
