Daily Prayer

Good morning! How are we faithing? We are distracted, tempted, whatever nomenclature you use, from the things of God by the things of the world. Our flesh betrays us. Our eyes deceive us. Our emotions mislead us. Our hope rests on our savior because without him, failure is assured. Without him ruin is inevitable. We as believers need to exercise our faith without the fear that is taught by the world. As we seek the Lord Jesus we must stand on truth. Our weakness is addressable with the help of the Holy Spirit.

Romans 8:26-27
In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will.
NIV

The stuff that happens always has a lesson in it. Our attitude about the things that happen to us determines if we find that lesson. We are secure in our place with God through Jesus so why let the stuff that happens to us crush us? We can rise above it.

Romans 8:28-30
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
NIV

Since we are saved and are children of God, we need only seek his will and what we are to glean from the circumstance we are in. We also gain wisdom so we try not to repeat mistakes we have learned from. Seeing the root causes and seeking wisdom from the Word will teach us to recognise when we are approaching the same thing again. Resting on the things the Word tells us helps us react justly and triumph.

Romans 8:31-33
What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all-how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies.
NIV

If we are in sin and we know we are in sin, get out! Lets not continue in the sin. Rectify it! Denounce, repent and move on while knowing you have learned a lesson for the better!

Heavenly Father,

Help us overcome our weaknesses and seek your face in all we do. Lord we ask you protect the innocent and help those in situations that are bad climb out with the courage it takes to trust you and look beyond the fleshly trappings. Lord thank you for all you do and teach in your Word. Lord protect the emergency workers and our troops from harm, in Jesus name, Amen
