I will declare Your Glory among all the nations, Your wonders among all the peoples. [1 Chronicles 16:24, MEV] I give You praise for being out of the hospital and able to finally go back to work. I praise You for the day I was able to spend with my grandson. I praise You for a wife that helps me stay on track with my health.
Holy Spirit, Your word says: Your word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account. Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. [Psalms 119:105, Hebrews 4:12-16] Help me daily to enter Your throne room through Your Holy Spirit in prayer and submit my thoughts, requests, petitions, and interventions at Your feet so that I am faithful in doing my part by praying with a sincere heart. Lead me to live each day and to be thankful that You have given me the chance to live it.
For this reason, I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen me with power through His Spirit in my inner being, so that Christ may dwell in my heart through faith. And I pray that I, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that I may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all I ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within me, to Him be glory, Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. Ephesians 3:14-21
