Heavenly Father, I praise You for today. I praise You for walking with me even when life is not what I think it should be. I praise You for continuing to teach me, mold me, and improve me. I praise You for loving me enough that You discipline me and teach me to be disciplined. Help me today to take command of my day and shake the evil from it.
Help me today to walk, talk, and live the calling that was given to me and my life. Let me be fully submissive to fulfilling the purpose I was created for and utilize the gifts given specifically to me to accomplish this. Help me to always speak the truth in love so that I am nurturing instead of destructive. Let me be honest before all men and do my part as part of the body of Christ. Continue to work in me so that I turn from my former life and nature and embrace Your way, Your wisdom, Your light, and direction in my life. Help me to control my tongue and to be extremely careful what and how I say things. Take from me all bitterness, wrath, anger, outbursts, and blasphemies, with all malice, so that I can live a life of righteousness, humility, peace, and most of all forgiveness. Help me to learn what forgiveness is, means, and how to give it like Christ, so that I can understand the grace, mercy, and wisdom of Your forgiveness towards me. [Ephesians 4:1,15,22, 29,31&32]
Let me stand before You daily, examine who I am in You and how I live so that I can be all that You desire me to be. Help me to accept my failings and give them to You. Let me stand strong in my hope and faith so that I can forgive, live, and be who I should be for You. Help me to be the faithful servant here on earth as You desire of me, so that I can rest assured when I get to heaven, I will have done all and the best I can for building Your kingdom and being a productive investment of Your love. In Jesus’ name, amen.
