Daily Prayer: Day 353

From Simple Prayers, Day 353

I DRAW NEAR TO YOU, GOD

I praise You, Lord, that You are intimately acquainted with my ways and that You always love me and have my best interests at heart.

Just as I presented the members of my body as slaves to impurity and to ever-increasing lawlessness, so I now present my members as slaves to righteousness, leading to holiness. (Romans 6:19)

Those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh; but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. The mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace. (Romans 8:5–6)

Take a moment to offer this day to the Lord and ask Him for the grace to grow in your knowledge and love for Him.

THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE

Your eyes are too pure to look at evil; You cannot look on wickedness. (Habakkuk 1:13)

God is jealous and the Lord avenges; the Lord takes vengeance and is filled with wrath. The Lord takes vengeance on His adversaries, and He reserves wrath against His enemies. The Lord is slow to anger and great in power and will not leave the guilty unpunished. His way is in the whirlwind and the storm, and clouds are the dust of His feet. (Nahum 1:2–3)

I LISTEN TO YOUR WORDS OF TRUTH

I have been called by God my Savior, and Christ Jesus is my hope. (1 Timothy 1:1)

MY RESPONSE TO YOU, LORD

If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. (Galatians 6:3)

I want to walk in a way that is worthy of the calling with which I was called, with all humility and meekness and patience. (Ephesians 4:1–2)

Lord, I thank You for the perfection of Your character and for Your promise to bring all things under Your perfect judgment. I thank You for calling me into the hope of Christ Jesus, and I ask that I would walk in humility and patience.
