Heavenly Father, I praise You for today. I praise You for salvation, for guidance, and for creating me with intelligence to make decisions and the ability to learn. I praise You for helping me to learn as I lead to take a minute to calm down, think about the bigger picture, before trying to resolve conflicts and problems at work. Help me today to take command of my day and shake the evil from it.
Holy Spirit, John wrote down that Jesus said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life.” [John 8:12] This light affects in many ways. I have learned to see the light through inspiration and insight gained in Your word. I have seen the light from how You created the world around me and how intricately it works together. I have listened to the light guiding me through testimonies and from promptings from You within my spirit. The light helps me see both physically and spiritually. I see, when people have needs, I see when I must step in a do my share of the work around me. I see when I help, hurt, inspire, and offend people, and have
to take that into account on how I am to live. I see growth and I see stagnation. Your light opens my eyes to a world bigger than just the physical world around me. Help me to continue to see the light of life.
I pray and ask that I may be filled with the knowledge of Your will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that I may walk worthy of the You, fully pleasing, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of You; strengthened with all might, according to Your glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy; giving thanks to the Father who has qualified me to be a partaker of the inheritance of the saints in the light. You have delivered me from the power of darkness and conveyed me into the kingdom of the Son of Your love, in whom I have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. You are the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by You all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through You for You. And You are before all
things, and in You all things exist. And You are the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things You may have the preeminence. In Your blessed Son Jesus’ name, Amen. (Colossians 1:9-18)
