Heavenly Father I praise You for today and I praise You for this world and all that is in it that You created. I praise You that in my lifetime I have been able to see and experience a lot of nature in multiple states. I have been fortunate enough to witness many aspects of animals, mountains, lakes, trees, fields, and many other things. I am often overwhelmed by the beauty, organization, and uniqueness of it all. Help me to take command of my morning today and to shake all evil from it.
Holy Spirit help me to continue to watch my words and the attitude behind them. Help me to be the living sacrifice and the living temple You desire me to be. Help me to learn how to constantly renew, rejuvenate, and excite my mind in ways that will help me focus on Your will and the path I am to travel. Let me have the boldness, confidence, and trust of Caleb while learning to be meek, humble, and steady like Moses and Daniel. Help me as I face the lessons and trials that will make me into the person You desire and have created me to be. Let me most of all honor You in all that I am and all that I do.
Praise be to You, God, and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed me in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For You chose me before the world's creation to be holy and blameless in Your sight. In love, You predestined me to be adopted as Your son through Jesus, in accordance with His pleasure and will—to the praise of His glorious grace, which he has freely given me in the One He loves. In You, I have redemption through the blood of Christ, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of Your grace that You lavished on me with all wisdom and understanding. And You are making known to me the mystery of Your will according to Your good pleasure, which You purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment—to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ. In You I was also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of God who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of His will, so that I, who has the first to hope in Christ, might be for the praise of His glory. And I also was included in Christ when I heard the word of truth, the gospel of my salvation. Having believed, I am marked in Him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, a deposit guaranteeing my inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory. Amen. Ephesians 1:3-14
