All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness. II Timothy 3:16 (NIV)
Dearest loving Abba Father, thank You for Your plan for my life today. Help me to grow deep roots in my relationship with You. Cause my thoughts to be Your thoughts so that I will be strong and established. Thank You for Your favor and blessing in my life today. Thank You for giving me victory! Thank You for the gift of faith. I choose to believe Your Word which is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. Show me how to continue to grow in faith so I can be pleasing to You in every area of my life. Thank You for Your gracious hand of favor on my life. I choose to believe that with You, all things are possible. I know that You are making a way where there seems to be no way. So I will brag on Your goodness all the days of my life. Thank You for setting up a good life for me. Thank You for ordering good things for my future. Help me to understand Your goodness more so that I can trust You and follow Your path for me all the days of my life.
Abba Father, I come to You admitting that I have great needs. I need Your love, I need Your power, I need Your Holy Spirit, I need Your direction. Father, I am so needy, but today I ask You to meet my needs on Your terms not mine. Forgive me for my apathy. Forgive me for not responding to Your calling out to me. I come today and ask God that You would guide me, teach me, fellowship with me. I desire a deeper relationship with You. Father, thank You for Your faithfulness in my life. Help me remember all the good things you have done and how you have acted on my behalf. When trial and struggles come, help me step out in faith knowing that you are the same today that You were yesterday.
Thank you, dear Lord, for being available for me all the times of my need. Thank you for being my Savior, my healer, and my hope. You have done far more than I expected. You have healed me more deeply than I knew to ask. Thank You for restoring me. Father, help me put my faith in You. Help me trust You, really trust You. Help me have real confidence in Your resurrection power and hope in Your undying love for me. Help me dear Lord to pursue knowledge that will not only honor You but that You may use through me to further Your kingdom. Help me to learn Your Word, and as the scripture says, to hide it in my heart so I may not sin against You. All praise be to you, gracious Lord, for your amazing goodness to me. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen
My Word will brighten your steps and light your path. God promises His word is a lamp to our feet
Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path. – (Psalm 119:105)
The Bible does say, “My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations.” Preaching, music, the reading of the Word–these things are fine–but they must never override prayer as the defining mark of God’s dwelling.
