Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for
he who comes to God must
believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently
seek Him.
Pray with me...
Father it's the beginning of another new year. Already one week has passed us by. Even
as the holiday season quiets down
and we come back to a "routine", Lord quiet our soul. Let your
peace reign and flood us.
Forgive us when we have left you last
on the "to do"
list. We acknowledge that your Word
is True. Yes, you are a rewarder of those
who diligently seek you. Those who carefully & attentively search your word. The Bible has the
truth and instructions for our lives. We read how you care
for the fatherless and the widow. We read how you shut
the lions mouth and preserve your
people. We study and see how lives are
transformed when one encounters your
presence. We see ground becoming holy
and a
bush
ignited but not consumed. We comprehend
that you call men out of troubled
situations and deliver them even if the
"impossible waters" have to
be parted. Those that are
willing you transform, you change men's hearts. Like the potter on the wheel, you
can take a piece of clay and
make something beautiful. Glory to your
Name oh Lord! You take what's barren
and bring life. You examine the
hearts of men and cause their pride to
be exposed. You take the humble
and raise them up. You fill
the hungry soul with goodness.
Lord, we understand that you stepped
down from glory so we would know you. We understand that a great debt
had to be paid for us and that Jesus paid for that which we could not. Your
Word is filled with mysteries that we
don't always understand. We pray
that your Spirit would teach us and give us wisdom and
revelation. Help us to be
sincere in our search and study of your Word. Lord we pray for a refreshing to come to us, that our soul would be reignited by the Fire of God. We know you will return. We know that every knee will bow in your presence. We know
that no one is good except for you. You
have taken our sin stained lives, redeemed, cleansed us and have given us
purpose. We search diligently Lord and know that no reward compares to knowing you!
Please feel free to reply
with our own prayer for the new
year.....
God bless you!~Liz www.lizrod.com
