“Whoever wishes to be my follower must deny his very self, take up his cross each day, and follow in my steps.”

February 14, 2013

My Daily Prayers and Readings for 02/14/2013

“Whoever wishes to be my follower must deny his very self, take up his cross each day, and follow in my steps.”

< >< My Prayer >< >

Abba Father I come to You through the Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus Christ who lives within me so that You will create in me a pure heart, and renew a steadfast spirit within me, for my one walk in and with You. Direct my actions, Lord, by your holy inspiration and carry them forward by your gracious help, that all my works may begin in you and by you be happily ended.1 Show and teach me how to be a channel of Your peace and love in all situations with all people. Help me be strong in You and Your almighty power, putting on Your full armor by standing firm with the belt of Your truth buckled around my waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with my feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace, taking up the shield of faith, with which I can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Taking the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is Your word. And praying in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests for me and mine in fulfillment of Your will. With this in mind, being alert and always praying for those You place in my path. Asking that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel.(r or l) Remembering that if I get nothing else done this day, let me spend it loving You and others first, as You love me. I ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God for ever and ever. Amen.

February 11, 2013

My Daily Prayers and Readings for 02/11/2013

Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged.

If I give all…, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

February 10, 2013

My Daily Prayers and Readings for 02/10/2013

If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

< >< My Prayer >< >

Abba Father the greatest challenge we have is being love, to love as You love – unconditionally, is more than giving or receiving. It is being love. This why I come to You through the Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus Christ who lives within me each day so that You will create in me a pure heart, and renew a steadfast spirit within me, where love springs forth for my one walk in and with You. So that You will show and teach me how to be a channel of Your peace and love in all situations with all people. So that You will help me be strong in You, Your love and Your almighty power, putting on Your full armor by standing firm with the belt of Your truth buckled around my waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with my feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace and love, taking up the shield of faith, with which I can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one who lurks in each moment trying to stop me from loving. So taking the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is Your word. And praying in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers for me and mine in fulfillment of Your will. Being alert and always praying for those You place in my path. Asking that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel.(r or l) Remembering that if I get nothing else done this day, let me spend it loving You and others first, as You love me. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

February 8, 2013

[ Love for Enemies ] “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

but we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel.

February 7, 2013

My Daily Prayers and Readings for 02/07/2013

but we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. And what is more, it is the third day since all this took place.

< >< My Prayer >< >

Abba Father once again You give me what I need to be reminded of and practice. For ‘if I am depressed or burdened, I am to blame, not You or anyone else. Dejection stems from one of two sources— I have either satisfied a lust or I have not had it satisfied. In either case, dejection is the result. Lust means “I must have it at once.” Spiritual lust causes me to demand an answer from You, instead of seeking You for Yourself who gives the answer. What have I been hoping or trusting You would do? Is today “the third day” and He has still not done what I expected? Am I therefore justified in being dejected and in blaming You? Whenever I insist that You should give me an answer to prayer I am off track. The purpose of prayer is that we get ahold of You, not of the answer.1 So I come to You through the Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus Christ who lives within me so that You will create in me a pure heart, and renew a steadfast spirit within me, for my one walk in and with You. Staying firm and  strong in You and Your almighty power, putting on Your full armor by standing firm with the belt of Your truth buckled around my waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with my feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace, taking up the shield of faith, with which I can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Taking the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is Your word. And praying in the Spirit on all occasions for me and mine in fulfillment of Your will. Staying alert and always praying for those You place in my path. Asking that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel.(r or l) And remembering that if I get nothing else done this day, let me spend it loving You and others first, as You love me. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
