"Simply Living in Faith"

Heavenly Father, I praise You and give You glory, although I don’t always fully appreciate all of who You are. I praise You for creation, for creating me, and for how complex life is in its making. As we learn more in science, we begin to see the complexity of life and intelligence. I praise You for making us in Your image and giving us emotions, intelligence, and a soul. Help me today to keep my temple clean as I take command of my morning and shake the evil from it with the assistance of Your Holy Spirit.

Holy Spirit, I come seeking wisdom for the day, discernment to navigate all that I have to attend to, knowledge to grow and fulfill my responsibilities, and understanding so that I can live life the way You created me to live it. Help me to acknowledge my purpose and to use my hope to fuel me each day as I use my gifts and talents to face a world that is dark, sinful, full of hate and chaos. Help me be a small but bright light that will illuminate to others Your love, mercy, grace, and most of all Your offer of the gift of salvation. I understand that through salvation, I am an adopted child of God, but I also know that I am to abide and serve Your kingdom above all else. I long for the day when I can rest and see eternity, my savior, and those saints who have gone before me. Until then, help me to live, truly live as full a life as I can for You, built on the foundation of Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit.

Grace and peace will be multiplied to me through the knowledge of God and Jesus our Lord. His divine power has given to me all things that pertain to life and godliness through the knowledge of God who has called me to His glory and excellence, by which He has given to me exceedingly great and precious promises, so that through these things I might become a partaker of the divine nature and escape the corruption that is in the world through lust. For this reason, help me to make every effort to add virtue to my faith; and to my virtue, knowledge, and to my knowledge, self-control; and to my self-control, patient endurance; and to my patient endurance, godliness; and to my godliness, brotherly kindness; and to my brotherly kindness, love. For if all of these reside in me and abound, they will ensure that I will neither be useless nor unfruitful in the knowledge of Jesus Christ, my Lord. Help me to diligently make my calling and election sure so that when I add all these areas into my life, I will not stumble and will be able to enter into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, which will be abundantly provided for me. In Jesus’ name, Amen. 2 Peter 1:3-11 MEV version
