This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. I Timothy 1:15 (KJV)
Dearest loving Father in heaven, I choose to honor You in all that I do. I choose to set the standard and do my very best. Thank You for the privilege of being Your representative. Help me to show Your love and excellence in everything I do. Lord, thank You for Your goodness and faithfulness in my life. I trust that You are leading and guiding me. I trust that You are preparing me for all the wonderful blessings You have in store for me
Abba Father, as I look back on life, I’m thankful for times you have tested me. And I’m very thankful for how your grace helped me in those times. And I’m extremely thankful that your love for me is not dependent on my “passing the test.” Thank you for your grace in Christ, who passed the ultimate test on my behalf. O Lord, given your faithfulness in the past, may I trust you more in the future. Lord, thank you for your gracious work in our lives. Thank you for working with us but not being limited by our fears. Thank you for calling us to yourself, and through you to a life of adventurous discipleship. Help us, Lord, to seek you, to attend to you, to follow you, to obey you. May you be glorified in every part of our lives.
Help me to be gentle in all that I say to people and in all that I do. May my life radiate to others the love of the Lord through my actions! Help me to be gentle and considerate to my family, to my friends and to my associates. Help me to remember that gentle words will turn away anger. Let the feelings of my heart be made real through my actions, Lord. Help me to live out the things that I believe. We ask this in the matchless name of Jesus Christ, Amen
I forgive sins and I love to show mercy. God Promises He Shows Mercy, Love and Forgive Our Sins
Who is a God like You, Pardoning iniquity And passing over the transgression of the remnant of His heritage? He does not retain His anger forever, Because He delights in mercy. (Micah 7:18)
The reason “other churches” don’t grow: “Jim, the truth is, I couldn’t have a real prayer meeting in my church. I’d be embarrassed at the smallness of the crowd…”
