Daily Prayer: Day 219

From Simple Prayers, Day 219

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.

You are the righteous God, who searches the hearts and secret thoughts. (Psalm 7:9)

The spirit of a man is the lamp of the Lord,
Searching the inward depths of his being. (Proverbs 20:27)

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

The Lord shall reign for ever and ever. (Exodus 15:18)

An hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live. For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself, and He has given Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man. (John 5:25–27)

I LISTEN TO YOUR WORDS OF TRUTH

I am confident of this, that He who began a good work in me will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. (Philippians 1:6)

MY RESPONSE TO YOU, LORD

I will not strive with a man without cause, if he has done me no harm. (Proverbs 3:30)

As one who has been chosen of God, holy and beloved, I will put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, bearing with others and forgiving others even as the Lord forgave me; and above all these things, I will put on love, which is the bond of perfection. (Colossians 3:12–14)

Lord, I thank You that You will reign forever and that You have given Your Son the authority to raise all people from the dead. I thank You that You will complete the good work You have begun in me, and I ask that I would put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.
