Daily Prayer: Day 336

From Simple Prayers, Day 336

I DRAW NEAR TO YOU, GOD

O Lord, I am deeply grateful for Your wonderful acts, for Your abundant promises, and for the gift of my relationship with You through the merits of Christ. 

He who makes me stand firm in Christ and anointed me is God, who also sealed me and gave me the Spirit in my heart as a deposit. (2 Corinthians 1:21–22)

Thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of Him. (2 Corinthians 2:14)

Take a moment to express your gratitude for the many blessings that you have received from the Lord.

THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE

The Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. (2 Corinthians 3:17)

When He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation, nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ for behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” (Luke 17:20–21)

I LISTEN TO YOUR WORDS OF TRUTH

Many who are first will be last, and the last first. (Matthew 19:30; Mark 10:31)

MY RESPONSE TO YOU, LORD

Trouble and anguish have come upon me, but Your commands are my delight. (Psalm 119:143)

You know the way that I take; when You have tested me, I shall come forth as gold. My feet have held fast to Your steps; I have kept to Your way without turning aside. (Job 23:10–11)

Lord, I thank You for the freedom that comes from Your Spirit and for the reality of Your kingdom. I thank You that Your word challenges our false assumptions, and I ask that I would hold fast to Your steps and delight in Your commands.
