Heavenly Father I praise You for being able to go back to work. I praise You for caring for me and protecting me from much worse things that could have happened to me. I praise You that I am under Your wing and that You have a purpose for me in life and value a relationship with me.
Holy Spirit guide my words today so that my testimony is not tarnished making You look bad before men. I ask that You help me to meditate on what is righteous and helpful in helping me grow in wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. Help me to hone my discernment so I can perceive what I need to know in the physical and spiritual world. Help me to show proper deference when entering Your throne room. Help me to stand in the gap for people who need salvation, for those who need healing whether physical or emotional, and to lift up the church so that we can all unitedly be a beacon to building and leading people to Your kingdom.
I pray and ask that I may be filled with the knowledge of Your will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that I may walk worthy of You, fully pleasing, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of You; strengthened with all might, according to Your glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy; giving thanks to the Father who has qualified me to be a partaker of the inheritance of the saints in the light. You have delivered me from the power of darkness and conveyed me into the kingdom of the Son of Your love, in whom I have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. You are the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by You, all things were created in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through You for You. And You are before all things, and in You, all things exist. And You are the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things You may have the preeminence. In Your blessed Son Jesus’ name, Amen. (Colossians 1:9-18)
