Today’s Prayer (08/21/2020)

Oh Lord, I pray that people will learn the difference between doing things that are holy and unholy in Your sight. I love the Bible for it is our best source of truth when it comes to doing Your will or the world. I love to look to You for understanding, for You continually pour out more and more wisdom when I search the scriptures. I once thought I knew a lot about Your Word, but I was so wrong. Every day that I read the Bible, more and more verses come to life and I am that much stronger in the faith. Lord, I love it how Your teachings convict me of my sins, for I would never want to continually live a life that goes against You but only live my life for You. I am sorry if I have sinned and ask for Your forgiveness and mercy. Your ways are true and faithful and all I can say to them is, “Your will be done”. I may not be capable of living up to all Your commands, but You are able to help me. So Lord, help me stay vigilant and strong in the faith and be not drawn in any direction where Your light is not there. I would never want to be apart from You, so keep me on Your righteous path which leads to heaven. Lord, I wish for not only myself but others to also come to faith and no longer live in their sinful ways. There are many people out there who have done some crazy bad things as I have, but there is still hope for them. They may be of the world now, but still, they can be redeemed and cleansed by Your blood. Lord, cast out all the darkness in their lives and lead them into Your light. Help them become a peculiar people, as You have done for me, a person who is holy in Your sight. I love You, God. Amen.

Deuteronomy 14:1,2

Deuteronomy 14:1,2 (KJV)
1 Ye are the children of the Lord your God: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.
2 For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God, and the Lord hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.
