Daily Prayer Day 172

I DRAW NEAR TO YOU, GOD

As I approach Your throne of grace today, I am grateful that You care about the things that concern me and that You want me to offer them up to You.

May I learn to be content in whatever circumstances I am.  Whether I am abased or in abundance, whether I am filled or hungry, let me learn the secret of being content in any and every situation.  I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.  (Philippians 4:11-13)

Take a moment to share your personal needs with God, including your physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual concerns.

THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE

The Lord is not slow concerning His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient with us, not wanting anyone to perish, but for all to come to repentance.  (2 Peter 3:9)

The Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.  Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him and he in God.  (1 John 4:14-15)

I LISTEN TO YOUR WORDS OF TRUTH

I trust in Your loyal love; my heart rejoices in Your salvation.  I will sing to the Lord, for He has dealt bountifully with me.  (Psalm 13:5-6)

MY RESPONSE TO YOU, LORD

He who pursues righteousness and love finds life, righteousness, and honor.  (Proverbs 21:21)

I will not imitate what is evil but what is good.  The one who does good is of God; the one who does evil has not seen God.  (3 John 11)

Lord, I thank You for Your desire that all would come to repentance and confess that Jesus is Your Son.  I thank You for Your loyal love, and I ask that I would pursue righteousness and imitate that which is good.
