Heavenly Father, I praise You for Your principles and guides to act as guardrails as we walk our paths in life. I praise You for creating all of us uniquely made for a purpose so that the world has variety and can function fully. I praise You for Your word to lead us and to witness to us. Today, help me take command of my day and shake all the evil from it.
Holy Spirit, Paul wrote: For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, so we should walk in them. The Psalmist wrote: You brought my inner parts into being; You wove me in my mother’s womb. I will praise you, for You made me with fear and wonder; marvelous are Your works, and You know me completely. [Ephesians 2:10; Psalm 139:13&14, MEV] You created me and all my fellow humans with a purpose, a plan, and a desire for us to fulfill Your will and to have a relationship with You that would spill over into eternity. Help me to continue to work through my salvation with fear and trembling so that I can be the temple
and living sacrifice that fulfills your will and keeps me from sin and temptation. Let me constantly renew my mind with Your words, testimonies, worship, and proper music so that I leave no room for Satan to stab me with temptations that will distract me from staying and walking on my path.
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
