Today’s Prayer (04/07/2020)

Oh Lord, I love You and give You honor and praise. Thank You for Your presence, and for leading me in the ways that are right. I may not have a way to distinguish what is good in this world, but with You as my light, I can fully distinguish the good and the bad. You have given me knowledge, so that I may not fall victim to the same temptation over and over again, but be faithful to Your cause. Because You have given me wisdom, my decisions and actions are much different than in the past. Instead of saying things that I wish I could take back, now I am able to say what is honoring and uplifting to the lives of other people. Thank You, Lord. Even my actions are not to oppress or hurt anyone, but to love and care for all people around me. Surely, the two greatest commandments have resonated upon my life, and now I am able to live these things out. I love Your ways, oh Lord. Keep me apart from the wickedness of this world, and always looking to You in faith. I don’t need to fear death or people being upset with me, for I know that death is a part of life, and after it is done, I will be with You in heaven. My place on earth is temporary, and what people do to me here does not matter. What matters is how many people I will be able to reach for Your kingdom, before my last breath. Lord, the gospel has changed my life, and all I want to do is share the good news of the cross and resurrection with others. You have put a burning in my soul to serve You and do so faithful, even for Your kingdom alone., which brings me great joy. Everything I do, oh Lord, is to give You glory and not have any in return. Surely, there are great teachers and evangelists in this world, and it is awesome to see these people lifting You up, instead of themselves. Our light is shining forth because You are in our midst. Thank You for speaking through us. I love You, Jesus. Amen.

2 Chronicles 17:3-5

2 Chronicles 17:3-5 (KJV)
3 And the Lord was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto Baalim;
4 But sought to the Lord God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.
5 Therefore the Lord stablished the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents; and he had riches and honour in abundance.
