From Simple Prayers, Day 242
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.
This is the will of God, my sanctification, that I abstain from immorality and learn to possess my own vessel in sanctification and honor. For God did not call me to be impure, but to live a holy life. (1 Thessalonians 4:3–4, 7)
May I put away all of these things: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and abusive language from my mouth. (Colossians 3:8)
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
Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God, because His judgments are true and righteous. (Revelation 19:1–2)
The mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations is now disclosed to the saints. To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. (Colossians 1:26–27)
I LISTEN TO YOUR WORDS OF TRUTH
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits; who forgives all your iniquities and heals all your diseases; who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion; who satisfies your desires with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. (Psalm 103:2–5)
MY RESPONSE TO YOU, LORD
I have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God. Therefore, I will put away all malice and all guile and hypocrisy and envy and all slander. (1 Peter 1:23; 2:1)
From Christ the whole body is being joined and held together by every supporting ligament, according to the effective working of each individual part, causing the growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love. (Ephesians 4:16)
Lord, I thank You that salvation, glory, and power belong to You, and that You have revealed the mystery of Christ to Your people. I thank You for Your many benefits, and I ask that I would put away the things that displease You and walk in Your love.
