Daily Prayer: Day 272

From Simple Prayers, Day 272

I DRAW NEAR TO YOU, GOD

God, I want Your Word to be deeply implanted in me so that I not only know the truth, but also express it in the way I live.

The Lord is seated on His throne with all the host of heaven standing by Him on His right and on His left. (1 Kings 22:19)

O Lord, God of Israel, enthroned between the cherubim, You alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth. (2 Kings 19:15)

Take a moment to affirm the truth of these words from Scripture and ask God to make them a growing reality in your life.

THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE

God is light; in Him there is no darkness at all. (1 John 1:5)

Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, for “The righteous will live by faith.” (Galatians 3:11)

I LISTEN TO YOUR WORDS OF TRUTH

This is the confidence I have in the Son of God, that if I ask anything according to His will, He hears me. And if I know that He hears me, whatever I ask, I know that I have the requests that I have asked from Him. (1 John 5:14–15)

MY RESPONSE TO YOU, LORD

Lying lips are hateful to the Lord, but He delights in those who deal faithfully. (Proverbs 12:22)

A rod of pride is in the mouth of a fool, but the lips of the wise will preserve them. (Proverbs 14:3)

Lord, I thank You that there is no darkness in You and that You have justified me by faith in the Lord Jesus. I thank You for the confidence that You hear my requests, and I ask that I would deal faithfully and avoid egotistical speech.
