Daily Prayer Day 184
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.
The Lord your God is gracious and compassionate, and He will not turn His face from you if you return to Him. (2 Chronicles 30:9)
Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven,
Whose sin is covered.
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute iniquity
And in whose spirit is no deceit.
When I kept silent, my bones wasted away
Through my groaning all day long.
For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me;
My strength was sapped as in the heat of summer.
I acknowledged my sin to You
And did not hide my iniquity.
I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,"
And You forgave the guilt of my sin. (Psalm 32:1-5)
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
Jesus is my Lord and my God. (John 20:28)
Whoever is ashamed of Jesus and His words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels. (Luke 9:26)
I LISTEN TO YOUR WORDS OF TRUTH
Through the law I died to the law so that I might live for God. I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. (Galatians 2:19-20)
MY RESPONSE TO YOU, LORD
I will not enter the path of the wicked or walk in the way of evil men. (Proverbs 4:14)
Anyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an infant. But solid food is for the mature, who because of use have their senses trained to distinguish good from evil. Therefore I will leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity. (Hebrews 5:13-6:1)
Lord, I thank You that Jesus is my Lord and my God and that I am not ashamed of Him. I thank You that Christ now lives in me, and I ask that I would go on to maturity in Him.
