Justice and mercy

‭Micah 6:8 NLT‬

No, O people, the Lord has told you what is good, and this is what he requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.

God, please show me how to love You and Your people. Align my heart with Your will, and help me to make decisions that bring You glory and honor. Help me to see myself accurately so that way I can love others fully. Show me how to show justice and mercy to those who need it. You are just and You are merciful. Thank You! In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Imitate God

‭3 John 1:11 NIV‬

Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God.

God, I truly desire to imitate and know You! When people see me, I also want them to see You. Guide me as I seek to follow You with my whole heart. Bring godly people into my life. Surround me with positive relationships, so I can better imitate You. In Jesus' name, Amen.

A Changed Mind

‭Romans 8:6 NLT‬

So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace.

God, thank You for the gift of Your Spirit. Your Spirit is always with me, shaping my character. Today, I want to make an intentional decision to trust You by allowing Your Spirit to guide me. Please change the way I think and act so that my whole life revolves around You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Praise for Forgiveness

‭Ephesians 1:7 NLT‬

He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins.

God, I lift my hands in praise for Your gift of forgiveness! You have erased the mistakes of my past, present, and future, and made me new. I am in constant awe of Your amazing love and boundless grace. Thank You that nothing can separate me from Your presence. I love You Jesus, Amen.

Understanding rest

‭Genesis 2:2-3 NLT‬

On the seventh day God had finished his work of creation, so he rested from all his work. And God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy, because it was the day when he rested from all his work of creation.

God, it is difficult to rest when there is so much I feel like I need to do. I want to experience Your kind of rest. Please show me how to work and rest in a way that honors and helps me trust You more. Amen.

God's power

‭Psalms 46:10 NLT‬

“Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world.”

God, You alone are all-knowing, present, and powerful. You are the God who created the heavens and the earth, the sun and the moon, and all of creation. All people will come to know Your glory and goodness. Please help me linger with You, still and aware of Your presence. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
