Commit to the Lord whatever you do

All a person’s ways seem pure to them, but motives are weighed by the Lord. Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans. The Lord works out everything to its proper end. Proverbs 16:2-4 Mighty and loving God in heaven, I know I can make all the plans I want, but without your help and blessings they will not succeed. I commit everything I do to you, O Lord, I ask that you bless me as I put my trust in you. Give me a pure and clean heart, lead me the way I should go and teach me your will, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

I believe, therefore I speak

Since we have that same spirit of faith, we also believe and therefore speak, because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you to himself. 2 Corinthians 4:13-14 Gracious Lord in heaven, thank you for the hope you have given us, the grace that is reaching more and more people every day, causing thanksgiving to overflow from our hearts. May your light shine in our hearts to give us the light of your knowledge, your wisdom, your peace and your everlasting love. Fill us with your Spirit, O God, as we live for you each day and proclaim your glory, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Be imitators of God, as beloved children

Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. Ephesians 5:1-2 Thank you Lord for your compassion, forgiveness, mercy and grace, I am so thankful for your amazing and everlasting love. Help me walk in love, to imitate you, your goodness, your kindness, to be the child you meant for me to be, O God. Help me be a fragrant offering for you in this world and for your kingdom, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Take delight in the Lord

Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun. Psalm 37:4-6 Lord God, I delight in you, your Word and your promises, I thank you for being faithful and loving, and for loving me as I am. I come to you in repentance and accept your free gift of salvation through your son, Jesus, I commit my way to yours. Give me hunger for your Word and a heart for the lost, O God, I ask you to remove from my heart anything that is unrighteous in your eyes, take the desires of my heart and replace them with yours, fill me with your Spirit that my desires become yours, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen
​And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us. The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us. 1 John 3:23-24 Heavenly Father, thank you for your amazing and unfailing love, thank you for the gift of salvation through your Son, Jesus. Please change my heart and fill me with your Holy Spirit that I may be able to love as you do, and forgive as you do, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen
The faithful love of the Lord never ends His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; His mercies begin afresh each morning. Lamentations 3:22-23 Faithful Lord in heaven, great is your faithfulness, your mercies never cease, I thank you because your word is full of hope, tenderness, compassion and love. I know that I stumble and fall because I am not perfect, but I'm thankful that your loving mercy and grace begin afresh each morning. May I walk refreshed with your Spirit, O God, full of hope and joy as I keep faithfully trusting and loving you, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen
And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. Hebrews 11:6 Blessed Lord in heaven, I humbly come to your throne of grace with reverence and awe, with a thankful and believing heart. I ask you to cleanse me from all unrighteousness and help me to do what pleases you, O God. I ask that you give me the desire to earnestly seek you daily with all my soul and to always believe and trust in your faithful and loving promises, I pray in Jesus' precious name. Amen
