My Daily Prayers and Readings for 5/23/2011
< >< My Prayer >< >
As new week begins and a new adventure starts, help me stay in Your word and keep Your word in me; guiding, convicting and helping to stay salty and in the light brightly, an witness to all who see me.
Abba Father in the name of Christ Jesus who lives within me through the Holy Spirit I pray that You create in me a clean heart, and renew a right spirit within me, for my one walk in and with Jesus today.

< >< My Prayer >< >
‘O Sacred Heart of Jesus! Living and life-giving Fountain of eternal life, infinite treasure of the Divinity, glowing furnace of Love! You are my refuge and my sanctuary. Oh my adorable and lovely Savior, consume my heart with that burning fire with which You are inflamed. Pour down on my soul those graces which flow from Your Love, and let my heart be so united with Yours, that our wills may be one, and mine in all things conformed to Yours. May Your Will be the rule alike of my desires and all my actions.’ — St. Gertrude the Great
Abba Father in the name of Christ Jesus who lives within me through the Holy Spirit I pray that You create in me a clean heart, and renew a right spirit within me, for my one walk in and with Jesus today.

My Daily Prayers and Readings for 5/19/2011
< >< My Prayer >< >
Though the busyness under the sun pulls at me and I know what to expect next, You have taught me through showing me that I am must not spend my time trying to control that which I cannot control, and to think or worry about times or seasons, but to spend my time, to focus my mind and heart on being ready and always practicing Your presence so that my thoughts, words and acts are inspired by in and through You through the Son, Jesus Christ in the Holy Spirit.
Abba Father in the name of Christ Jesus who lives within me through the Holy Spirit I pray that You create in me a clean heart, and renew a right spirit within me, for my one walk in and with Jesus today. Asking that You bless me and mine in fulfillment of Your will and keep us from evil and pain; and if we get nothing else done this day, let us spend it loving You and others as You love us. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

< >< My Prayer >< >
As You open up a new path for me with opportunities and challenges that only You know, help me get ready in and through Your word through Jesus in the Holy Spirit and remain humbly grateful for all I have and I am in You. As new demands and priorities develop, help me to stay ready, consciously connected to You through Jesus in the Holy Spirit and Your livings Words. As I move beyond the paths that I have been walking help me not to leave anyone behind that is in need, always remembering that all I have is because of You for those in need and help me be a better steward and servant.
Abba Father in the name of Christ Jesus who lives within me through the Holy Spirit I pray that You create in me a clean heart, and renew a right spirit within me, for my one walk in and with Jesus today. Asking that You bless me and mine in fulfillment of Your will and keep us from evil and pain; and if we get nothing else done this day, let us spend it loving You and others as You love us.

My Daily Prayers and Readings for 5/17/2011
< >< My Prayer >< >
‘But you do not believe, because you are not among my sheep.
My sheep hear my voice; know them, and they follow me.
I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish.
No one can take them out of my hand.
My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all,
and no one can take them out of the Father’s hand.
The Father and I are one.”’
I have always heard You, though not always sought You; thankful am I that You are a God of chances, always calling Your sheep home through Jesus, always forgiving, always teach us to walk in that image.
Abba Father in the name of Christ Jesus who lives within me through the Holy Spirit I pray that You create in me a clean heart, and renew a right spirit within me, for my one walk in and with Jesus today. Asking that You bless me and mine in fulfillment of Your will and keep us from evil and pain; and if we get nothing else done this day, let us spend it loving You and others as You love us. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

HIS ASCENSION AND OUR UNION
And it came to pass, while He blessed them, He was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.” Luke 24:51
We have no corresponding experience to the events in Our Lord’s life after the Transfiguration. From then onwards Our Lord’s life’ was altogether vicarious. Up to the time of the Transfiguration He had exhibited the normal perfect life of a man; from the Transfiguration onwards – Gethsemane, the Cross, the Resurrection – everything is unfamiliar to us. His Cross is the door by which every member of the human race can enter into the life of God; by His Resurrection He has the right to give eternal life to any man, and by His Ascension Our Lord enters heaven and keeps the door open for humanity.
On the Mount of Ascension the Transfiguration is completed. If Jesus had gone to heaven from the Mount of Transfiguration, He would have gone alone; He would have been nothing more to us than a glorious Figure. But He turned His back on the glory, and came down from the Mount to identify Himself with fallen humanity.
The Ascension is the consummation of the Transfiguration. Our Lord does now go back into His primal glory; but He does not go back simply as Son of God; He goes back to God as Son of Man as well as Son of God. There is now freedom of access for anyone straight to the very throne of God by the Ascension of the Son of Man. As Son of Man Jesus Christ deliberately limited omnipotence, omnipresence and omniscience in Himself. Now they are His in absolute full power. As Son of Man Jesus Christ has all power at the throne of God. He is King of kings and Lord of lords from the day of His Ascension until now.
< >< Today in the Word Devotion >< >
I am your shield, your very great reward. Genesis 15:1
Pray today to remember God’s opening blessing to Abram in this passage and cherish it as your own. Do not be afraid. God is your shield, your very great reward. Like Abram, you face many uncertainties and challenges. What you await from God you might not see as clearly as the night stars or a blazing torch that Abram saw. But you can take comfort in knowing that you are his descendant of faith. Your new life in Christ shines as one of the stars in Abram’s sky.

My Daily Prayers and Readings for 5/16/2011
< >< My Prayer >< >
Let Thy will be done, guide me as You see fit and convict me when I seek that which is not in line with Thy will. Continue the work You have begun in me, and help mine to see You in me and me in you as a lighted path for them to awaken to You assume mercy and grace. Thank You for each and every blessing!
Abba Father in the name of Christ Jesus who lives within me through the Holy Spirit I pray that You create in me a clean heart, and renew a right spirit within me, for my one walk in and with Jesus today. Asking that You bless me and mine in fulfillment of Your will and keep us from evil and pain; and if we get nothing else done this day, let us spend it loving You and others as You love us. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
< >< My Utmost for His Highest >< >
THE HABIT OF WEALTH
“Partakers of the divine nature.” 2 Peter 1:4
We are made partakers of the Divine nature through the promises; then we have to “manipulate” the Divine nature in our human nature by habits, and the first habit to form is the habit of realizing the provision God has made. “Oh, I can’t afford it,” we say – one of the worst lies is tucked up in that phrase. It is ungovernably bad taste to talk about money in the natural domain, and so it is spiritually, and yet we talk as if our Heavenly Father had cut us off with a shilling! We think it a sign of real modesty to say at the end of a day – “Oh, well, I have just got through, but it has been a severe tussle.” And all the Almighty God is ours in the Lord Jesus! And He will tax the last grain of sand and the remotest star to bless us if we will obey Him. What does it matter if external circumstances are hard? Why should they not be! If we give way to self-pity and indulge in the luxury of misery, we banish God’s riches from our own lives and hinder others from entering into His provision. No sin is worse than the sin of self-pity, because it obliterates God and puts self-interest upon the throne. It opens our mouths to spit out murmurings and our lives become craving spiritual sponges, there is nothing lovely or generous about them.
When God is beginning to be satisfied with us He will impoverish everything in the nature of fictitious wealth, until we learn that all our fresh springs are in Him. If the majesty and grace and power of God are not being manifested in us (not to our consciousness), God holds us responsible. “God is able to make all grace abound,” then learn to lavish the grace of God on others. Be stamped with God’s nature, and His blessing will come through you all the time.
< >< Today in the Word Devotion >< >
But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and the livestock. Genesis 8:1
We can grow so accustomed to the grace of God that we start to think we deserve good things from His hand. We begin to believe that happy, healthy, and undisturbed lives are our birthright. But this passage is a reminder of the gravity of our sins against God and our proclivity for wickedness to inhabit the very heart of our intentions. Take this time to confess your sins to God and to praise Him and thank Jesus Christ for taking the penalty of your sins.

My Daily Prayers and Readings for 5/13/2011
< >< My Prayer >< >
That I may walk in conscious openness to Your voice, able to hear the softness of Your will and act with the strength and courage that comes with the confidence of Your presence within me; overcoming myself and whatever might to doubt or hesitate from Your will in every moment.
Abba Father in the name of Christ Jesus who lives within me through the Holy Spirit I pray that You create in me a clean heart, and renew a right spirit within me, for my one walk in and with Jesus today. Asking that You bless me and mine in fulfillment of Your will and keep us from evil and pain; and if we get nothing else done this day, let us spend it loving You and others as You love us. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
< >< My Utmost for His Highest >< >
The HABIT of a GOOD CONSCIENCE
“A conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men.” Acts 24:16
God’s commands are given to the life of His Son in us, consequently to the human nature in which His Son has been formed, His commands are difficult, but immediately we obey they become divinely easy.
Conscience is that faculty in me which attaches itself to the highest that I know, and tells me what the highest I know demands that I do. It is the eye of the soul which looks out either towards God or towards what it regards as the highest, and therefore conscience records differently in different people. If I am in the habit of steadily facing myself with God, my conscience will always introduce God’s perfect law and indicate what I should do. The point is, will I obey? I have to make an effort to keep my conscience so sensitive that I walk without offence. I should be living in such perfect sympathy with God’s Son, that in every circumstance the spirit of my mind is renewed, and I “make out” at once “what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”
God always educates us down to the scruple. Is my ear so keen to hear the tiniest whisper of the Spirit that I know what I should do? “Grieve not the Holy Spirit.” He does not come with a voice like thunder; His voice is so gentle that it is easy to ignore it. The one thing that keeps the conscience sensitive to Him is the continual habit of being open to God on the inside. When there is any debate, quit. “Why shouldn’t I do this?” You are on the wrong track. There is no debate possible when conscience speaks. At your peril, you allow one thing to obscure your inner communion with God. Drop it, whatever it is, and see that you keep your inner vision clear.
< >< Today in the Word Devotion >< >
In my distress I called to the LORD. Jonah 2:2
Sometimes God uses nature in supernatural ways. The book of Jonah is filled with such examples. God changed the sea. He redirected a fish and used it in a miraculous way. He also transformed, how ever gradually, the heart of Jonah. He can change your heart as well. If you ever find yourself dragged down by self-defeating thoughts about your weaknesses and limitations, remember that God can impart His power to accomplish things you could never do on your own.

Acts 9:1-20
Psalm 117:1-2
John 6:52-59
< >< Today’s Video Reflection >< >
Ah! What years and centuries of torment to punish us! … How dearly we shall pay for all those faults that we look upon as nothing at all, like those little lies that we tell to amuse ourselves, those little scandals, the despising of the graces which God gives us at every moment, those little murmurings in the difficulties that He sends us! No, my dear brethren, we would never have the courage to commit the least sin if we could understand how much it outrages God and how greatly it deserves to be rigorously punished, even in this world. God is just, my dear brethren, in all that He does. When He recompenses us for the smallest good action, He does so over and above all that we could desire. A good thought, a good desire, that is to say, the desire to do some good work even when we are not able to do it, He never leaves without a reward. But also, when it is a matter of punishing us, it is done with rigor, and though we should have only a light fault, we shall be sent into Purgatory. — St. John Vianney
