The LORD of Strength and Peace

 

 

The LORD gives his people strength.
    The LORD blesses them with peace. 

—Psalm 29:11 (NLT)

 

 

 

 

LORD of Strength and Peace,

 

From Your glorious riches You pour out strength and peace upon me—that sustaining strength and abiding peace which can only be found in You!

 

You are the One who strengthens me so I can shine forth Your glory! You cause me to stand in Your strength, fortified against the forces of evil, fully equipped and perfectly suited to accomplish the good works that You have called me to do.

 

Thank You that though I am very weak, I am made very strong in You—as your strength is made perfect in my weakness and I come to understand and acknowledge my total dependence upon You.

 

You are the One who blesses me with peace—not as the world might measure peace, but according to the unfathomable depths of Your peace, which cannot be measured with human understanding.

 

Thank You that this strength and peace can be mine today and always—even while I remain in this evil world—and will remain unbroken, as I demonstrate my faith in Your Word, through my obedience to Your instructions and commands.

From Your glorious riches You pour out strength and peace upon me—that sustaining strength and abiding peace which can only be found in You!

 

In the name of Jesus, Amen.

 

 

In Deed and in Truth

 

 

Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.

 

—1 John 3:18 (ESV)

 

 

 

 

Heavenly Father,

 

Let my actions be proof of my love for You and for others.

 

Let my actions show genuine love, not just my words. Fill me with Your love so that everything I say and do reflects true lovingkindness.

Help me to share Your love freely with anyone who needs it, offering it openly with compassionate kindness in every thought, word, and deed.

Guide me to remain humble before You and others, and encourage me to generously use the gifts I have been given to help meet the needs of those searching for real love.

 

Let my actions be proof of my love for You and for others.

 

In the Name of Jesus, Amen. 

Living in This Evil World

 

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—which 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 right and pure choices, and the assurance of Your love and goodness that I need to live a life that is devoted to You.

 

Help me to live purposefully while I am here—as I 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 when my battles with temptation will end—when our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, comes again.

 

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.

The Giver of All Things Good

 

Ears to hear and eyes to see—
    both are gifts from the LORD.       —Proverbs 20:12 (NLT)

The LORD will withhold no good thing
    from those who do what is right.      —Psalm 84:11b (NLT)

 

Loving LORD, Giver of All Things Good,

Grant me ears that really hear, and eyes that really see—by the wondrous power of Your Holy Spirit at work within me.

Your Word tells me, “You will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right.”  So, help me to tap into the power of Your Spirit to do what is right—that I might walk in the very best that You have for me.

Give me that truly perceptive discernment that comes only from You—so that I can hear with an understanding that goes beyond my limited mental capacity, and so I can see, through Your eyes, the Truth of every situation.

Make me ready to hear and careful to see—so that my understanding would be correct and complete, and so the clear insight of Godly wisdom would become my friend—that I might better live my life for Your glory, honor and praise.

Grant me ears that really hear, and eyes that really see—by the wondrous power of Your Holy Spirit at work within me.

In the name of Jesus, Amen.
