daily prayer

    Good morning! How are we faithing this snowy cold day? Are you aware of sin? Lately I have noticed sin all around. I see things and contemplate reasons why and where those peoples head is at. I wonder why they don't see the folly of their ways and if they realize that what they are doing has consequences on this earth. Then I see my sin and am keenly aware that sin is sin and mine is theirs and theirs is mine. Man o man, what others infractions are isn't important to me but what they are fixin to go through because of it just saddens my heart. That got me to realizing that if it saddens my heart, how must God feel. He loves us so and knows we are going to go through things as a result of our sin but you know what? He is always right there. He is there for us to lean on and to lay our burdens and sin at his feet. When we realize we have sinned, we must confess immediately to the Father and Jesus is our mediator. We must repent truly and not just with lip service. Man, this is a tough life and alot of times we do get caught up in stuff. We also put ourselves in that stuff. You can't "earn" God's love or "be good enough" so for your new years resolution this year, don't try to do or think you'll be better, seek God every day. Pray immediately when you screw up. Seek God in everything you do. Do everything like you are doing it for God. Seek God's ways and let the fallout be his concern.

Ephesians 2:1-10

 And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places, in Christ Jesus, in order that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

Heavenly Father,
   Thank you for your love and wisdom that is higher than anyone on earth. Guide us and help us recognise when we goof up. Lord we ask forgiveness for our failings and ask blessings on our lives. Protect our minds from attacks from the enemy. Open our eyes to your ways. Lord we lift those mentioned today. Touch them physically and comfort their minds and hearts, in Jesus name, amen
