High Sounding Nonsense!

 

 

Don’t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ.

 

—Colossians 2:8 (NLT)

 

 

Heavenly Father,

 

Let me experience all the freedom that comes when I fully understand, and live my life in complete agreement with, The Truth—The Truth that is revealed in Your Word, The Truth I find in Jesus Christ!

 

In my search to know Truth, let me not be satisfied to accept those philosophies that are merely built on human thinking, or understanding—but always look to Your Word to reveal The Truth to me.

 

Don’t let me be misled by man’s deceitful words—which, even though they may sound right, are only counterfeits of The Truth, twisted by the enemy to entrap my heart in lies, in order to lead me to destruction.

 

Keep me from blindly assuming that the traditions of man are Truth—those practiced ideas that have been widely accepted as Truth but are not confirmed by Your Word—since I know that the spiritual powers of this world are battling to keep me from the freedom that I find in Christ alone.

 

Let me experience all the freedom that comes when I fully understand, and live my life in complete agreement with, The Truth—The Truth that is revealed in Your Word, The Truth I find in Jesus Christ!

 

In the name of Jesus, Amen.

Unfailing Love Each Morning

 

 

Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning,

    for I am trusting you.

Show me where to walk,

    for I give myself to you.

 

—Psalm 143:8 (NLT)

 

O LORD of Love That Never Fails,

 

With each new morning, help me to listen and hear how You love me, and respond to Your love by offering my love in return—by giving myself to You.

 

Too often, I have rushed into a new day—self-centeredly pursuing my own plans and ideas—without first spending time to listen for what You would say to me, to hear of Your unfailingly love for me.

 

Help me not to forget how critical it is that I open the Bible—Your love story written to me—and allow You to speak to me, by Your Holy Spirit, as I read—and as You reveal—the Truth that is waiting there for me.

 

As I study Your Word each morning, help me to hear the message of Your unfailing loving-kindness for me and teach me of the goodness of Your ways—so that I will be drawn into an ever-closer relationship with You and my faith will be made increasingly stronger.

 

As I come before You in prayer, help me submit my will to Yours alone and allow You to show me the ways that I should go.

 

Help me to follow the best path for me—where I can experience Your strength, Your plan, Your provision, Your protection, Your peace, Your joy, but most of all Your unfailing love for me.

 

With each new morning, help me to listen and hear how You love me, and respond to Your love by offering my love in return—by giving myself to You.

 

In the name of Jesus, Amen.
