I give thanks to You Oh Lord, for You are Good! Your faithful love endures forever. I will and do give thanks to the God of gods. Your faithful love endures forever. I give thanks to the Lord of lords. Your faithful love endures forever. I give thanks to You, who alone does mighty miracles. Your faithful love endures forever. I give thanks to You, who made the heavens so skillfully. Your faithful love endures forever. I give thanks to You who placed the earth among the waters. Your faithful love endures forever. I give thanks to You who made the heavenly lights—the sun to rule the day, and the moon and stars to rule the night, Your faithful love endures forever. [Psalm 136:1-9]
Holy Spirit, You inspired it to be written in the word for me to learn that I should incorporate this into my life: 19 And so, dear brothers and sisters,[f] we can boldly enter heaven’s Most Holy Place because of the blood of Jesus. 20 By his death,[g] Jesus opened a new and life-giving way through the curtain into the Most Holy Place. 21 And since we have a great High Priest who rules over God’s house, 22 let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting him. For our guilty consciences have been sprinkled with Christ’s blood to make us clean, and our bodies have been washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. 24 Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. 25 And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near. [Hebrews 10:19-25, NLT]
So today, as I enter the throne room through prayer with Your Spirit indwelling within me, Your living temple, let me give You praise, honor and glory for all that You are and have done. I humbly kneel within my heart and give all that I am to You and seek for wisdom, knowledge, understanding and discernment on how to go through my day and honor and do Your will through my life. I ask for my needs to continue to be met and that I can grow in understanding of how to pray for and know that I am blessed through all the promises of Your word. I seek to be reminded of the wonder, signs, miracles and Your finger print in my life and life around me. I seek healing for my dear friend Kayla, I seek healing for my Aunt who is going through radiation. I seek peace for my friend and co-worker who still grieves the loss of his father. I seek for you to work in Quinten’s life and help him work through his current trouble and if it be within Your will, he will be able to get into the Coast Guard. I desire to be helped in losing weight so that I bring my A1C under control. But of all things, I desire most is to grow in my faith and relationship with You so that I know and feel Your presence in guiding my life so that I fulfill the purpose You made me specifically for. Help me to do fulfill my daily responsibilities to my wife, my family, my job, my friends and my church family. Help me to see the path clearly before me as I take each step in my journey that will eventually lead me home to You. Help me to grow in all the fruits of the Spirit and to be a blessing to others. Help me to continue to be faithful to pray, to lift others up in prayer and to teach people how to pray [breath in and then breath out] Your word so that I claim the promises You have made, remind You of those promises while I watch out for the enemy of Your people just as the watchman of old use to do.
Grace and peace will be multiplied to me through the knowledge of God and Jesus our Lord. His divine power has given to me all things that pertain to life and godliness through the knowledge of God who has called me to His own glory and excellence, by which He has given to me exceedingly great and precious promises, so that through these things I might become a partaker of the divine nature and escape the corruption that is in the world through lust. For this reason, help me to make every effort to add virtue to my faith; and to my virtue, knowledge, and to my knowledge, self-control; and to my self-control, patient endurance; and to my patient endurance, godliness; and to my godliness, brotherly kindness; and to my brotherly kindness love. For if all of these reside in me and abound, they will ensure that I will neither be useless nor unfruitful in the knowledge of Jesus Christ my Lord. Help me to diligently make my calling and election sure so that when I add all these areas into my life I will not stumble and will be able to enter into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ which will be abundantly provided for me. In Jesus’ name, Amen. 2 Peter 1:3-11 MEV version
