Do everything without complaining and arguing, so that no one can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people.—Philippians 2:14-15 (NLT)
Heavenly Father,
Let every choice I make be in absolute and willing submission to Christ—so that this life I live will produce convincing evidence that I am Your child!
Help me not to complain
about anything—but choose to always be grateful! For it is You who provides for every need I
have and uses everything that I experience for Your purposes—turning all of it
to my benefit and for Your glory.
Help me not to needlessly
stir up strife between myself and others, by engaging in arrogantly prideful
and self-promoting arguments—when You want me to walk humbly before others,
full of truth and grace, as expressed in perfect love—leaving to You the work
that only You can do to change their hearts.
Let my response to Your
Word always be one of willing obedience, so others will have no room to
criticize me—and so they might see Christ at work in me and be drawn to Him.
And help me to live a
clean and innocent life—so that I stand out as a bright light of hope to those
who are hopelessly lost and unable to find their way out of the darkness that
engulfs them.
Let every choice I make be in absolute and willing submission to Christ—so that this life I live will produce convincing evidence that I am Your child!
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
