“You light a lamp for me. The LORD, my God, lights up my darkness. In your strength I can crush an army; with my God I can scale any wall.” Psalms 18:28-29 (NLT)
Dearest Abba Father, today I choose to lift my eyes off my circumstances and look to You. Show me Your ways that I may walk with You on the path to victory all the days of my life. Lord, I choose to believe Your Word above all else. I know that You are working behind the scenes on my behalf, and You will cause me to triumph. Help me to tune out the negative voices of the world so that I can focus on Your goodness all the days of my life.
Father, help me and my family to be obedient to Your commandments so that others will see that we are morally and spiritually unique. Keep us committed to living by godly standards so that our lives are a testimony that we have been changed by Your saving grace that we have received through the shed blood of our Savior, Jesus Christ. I don’t have any idea what the outcome of my story will be, Lord, but I thank You for giving my life an interesting and unique plot. Go with me through the chapters of my life, Lord. Help me to let go of my disappointments and to always trust in You. Thank You for the assurance that You hold my future in Your hands and that Your plans for me are for good and not for evil.
Lord, may I see my life as a reflection of your blessing. Thank You for the many blessings You have in store for me. Thank you for blessing me, again and again, through your superabundant grace. O Lord, in my life in this world, may I imitate your graciousness. May I be faithful, putting my trust in you even, and especially, when it’s difficult to do so. Great is your faithfulness, Lord! Through the grace of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.
If you share with the needy, My glory will guard your back.God Promises He Will Protect With His Glory Those Who Help the Needy – (Isaiah 58:7-8)
Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, And that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out; When you see the naked, that you cover him, and not hide yourself from your own flesh? Then your light shall break forth like the morning, Your healing shall spring forth speedily, and your righteousness shall go before you; The glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.
It makes a great difference in our feeling towards others if their needs and their joys are on our lips in prayer; as also it makes a vast difference in their feelings towards us if they know that we are in the habit of praying for them.
