Father God, You do not grow tired or weary. You are not surprised when we try to fix things without You. You even let us have our own way, so that we can eventually come around to seeing how foolish we really are. Without You, we inevitably wear ourselves out spinning our wheels and getting nowhere. Keep us from stubbornness and gently bring us back to surrender at Your feet. (more…)
Father God, remind us that You are not mocked; what we sow, we will reap. Help us to see that even though our sin is under Jesus’ blood, You want us to be spiritually whole and healthy through confession and reconciliation. Give us a heart of repentance before we are harshly corrected by the inevitable consequences of our sin. (more…)
Father God, help us to truly believe that You bring the best outcome for our life in the fullness of time. You can do more in a single moment than we can accomplish in years of striving in our own strength. Help us to wait on You as You renew our strength. (more…)
Lord Jesus, we see the story of Your suffering being foretold in the story of Joseph’s life. You suffered false accusation for the sins of the world, yet You will return to judge the whole world. Help us to also clearly see two aspects of judgment hidden in this story. We will either be restored or there will be a recompense to pay. May we choose restoration graciously offered through faith in Your work alone. (more…)
Father God, help us to remember that true prosperity is having You and Your presence with us no matter where we find ourselves. When You call us overcomers, help us to see that there will be circumstances that will need to be overcome. May we rest in knowing that ultimately we have victory in Jesus because of our faith in You. (more…)
Holy Spirit, we come before You today asking for Your help to make ourselves at home in Your Word and Your promises. Bless us as we do Your will even when our life looks strange to those who don’t know You. Use our lives in the purposes of God. Give us the wisdom to know when, where, and with whom we should or shouldn’t share the revelation that You give us. (more…)
