Daily Prayer Day 4

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 follow Abraham’s example of willingness to offer all that I have to You, holding nothing back and trusting in Your character and in Your promises.  (Genesis 22:2-12, 16)

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

God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should change his mind.  Has He spoken and not done it?  Has He promised and not fulfilled it?  (Numbers 23:19)

The foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.  But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong; and the lowly things of this world and the despised things God has chosen, and the things that are not, to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before Him.  (1 Corinthians 1:25, 27-29)

I LISTEN TO YOUR WORDS OF TRUTH

God will keep me strong to the end, so that I will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.  God is faithful, through whom I was called into fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.  (1 Corinthians 1:8-9)

MY RESPONSE TO YOU, LORD

I should let my gentleness be evident to all men; the Lord is near.  (Philippians 4:5)

My love must be sincere.  I will hate what is evil and cling to what is good.  (Romans 12:9)

Lord, I thank You for the certainty of Your promises and for the wisdom of Your ways.  I thank You for keeping me strong to the end, and I ask that I would be a gentle and loving person.
