Daily Prayer Day 177

I DRAW NEAR TO YOU, GOD

I am grateful to You, O God, for the blessing of your forgiveness.  I thank You that in Christ, You set me free from the guilt of the past and give me hope for the future.

God’s eyes are on the ways of a man,
And He sees all his steps. 
There is no darkness or deep shadow
Where the workers of iniquity can hide. 
He does not need to examine a man further,
That he should go before God in judgment.  (Job 34:21-23)

Take a moment to ask the Spirit to search your heart and reveal any areas of unconfessed sin.  Acknowledge these to the Lord and thank Him for His forgiveness.

THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE

Great is the Lord, and most worthy of praise in the city of our God, His holy mountain.  As is Your name, O God, so is Your praise to the ends of the earth; Your right hand is filled with righteousness.  (Psalm 48:1, 10)

You will create new heavens and a new earth.  The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind.  (Isaiah 65:17)

I LISTEN TO YOUR WORDS OF TRUTH

If I have been united with Christ in the likeness of His death, I will certainly also be united with Him in the likeness of His resurrection.  (Romans 6:5)

MY RESPONSE TO YOU, LORD

We should ask for one another’s prayers.  (1 Thessalonians 5:25)

I will obey those who lead me and submit to them, for they keep watch over my soul as those who must give an account.  I will obey them, so that they may do this with joy and not with grief, for this would be unprofitable for me.  (Hebrews 13:17)

Lord, I thank You that You are most worthy of praise and that You will create new heavens and a new earth.  I thank You for my identification with Christ in His death and resurrection, and I ask that I would submit to my spiritual leaders.
