Awe-Inspired Reverence and Obedience

 



 

The LORD favors those who fear and worship Him

[with awe-inspired reverence and obedience],
Those who wait for His mercy and lovingkindness.

 

—Psalm 147:11 (AMP)

 

 

 




LORD of Mercy and Lovingkindness,

 

May I fear and worship only You—as I wait for Your mercy and lovingkindness!

 

Help me to find the favor You show to those who truly fear and worship You—to those who tremble before You because You are the God who does what He says He will do, the One who sovereignly reigns with perfect justice.

 

Let the power that You display in me, through me, and in all Your creation around me, inspire me to reverently worship You with all my life—to obey every command and instruction of Your Word, and every prompting of Your Holy Spirit—trusting You will guide me into Your very best plan for me.

 

And help me to expectantly wait for and joyfully anticipate the mercy and lovingkindness that You promise to show me—both today and forevermore—as I put all my hope in You.

 

May I fear and worship only You—as I wait for Your mercy and lovingkindness!

 

In the name of Jesus, Amen.

Living To Bring Glory To You



And we are instructed to turn from godless living and sinful pleasures. We should live in this evil world with wisdom, righteousness, and devotion to God, while we look forward with hope to that wonderful day when the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, will be revealed.

—Titus 2:12-13 (NLT)


Heavenly Father,


Help me to live in this evil world in a way that brings glory to You—as I look forward with hope to that wonderful day when all of Christ’s glory will be revealed.


You have told me to turn from godless living and sinful pleasures, and yet I must still live in this world that is full of godlessness and sin.

So, help me to stand against the temptations of the world—by granting me the wisdom I need to correctly discern good from evil, the strength I need to make righteous and pure choices, and the assurance of Your love and goodness that I need to live my life devoted to You.

Help me to live purposefully while I am here—as I take a stand against the temptations of this world and use the gifts and talents that You have given me to be a part of building Your Kingdom here on earth.

And let me look forward with great hope and anticipation to the day my battles with temptation will end—on that day when I will see Jesus face to face.


Help me to live in this evil world in a way that brings glory to You—as I look forward with hope to that wonderful day when all of Christ’s glory will be revealed.


In the name of Jesus, Amen.
