For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.—Hebrews 4:12 (NLT)
Heavenly Father,
Thank You that Your Word is so much more than just words on a page. Thank You that it is alive and powerful in me!
Never let me forget that Your
Word is filled with Your life and power as the Almighty God. For it tells me who You are—as my Creator,
Sustainer, Redeemer, and Sanctifier—and tells me who I am as Your child, in
Christ—so that when I go to Your Word and allow Your Word to wash over me, it
heals me and makes me whole.
Help me to hear and
understand Your Word—so that I can receive all the Truth that it contains into
my heart. And then help me willingly and
obediently apply that Truth to my life—as my loving and grateful response for
all You have done for me.
Use Your Word to plunge
deeply within me, to separate and expose the innermost thoughts and desires and
motives of my soul and spirit—and to bring to light anything within me that is
not in line with the Truth, so that I can repent and walk in the fullness of
life to which You have called me.
Thank You that Your Word is so much more than just words on a page. Thank You that it is alive and powerful in me!
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
