daily prayer

Great morning! How are we faithing thus far? I've come to realize that I cannot be holy or righteous enough to stand alone. I have not the power or the might to resist the schemes of the powers of this world. Things fly in our face constantly and the devil knows how to entice us. The wonderful thing that God gave us through his son is a way for us to stand, a way to resist. I've reflected at my mistakes and outright sins in the past for the purpose of discovering how I'm still alive. It sure wasn't my doings that kept me upright and not dead. The might of God is the only reason we all are able to stand. Look at the news and we can see people who do not stand for righteousness. We also see the results of that rebellion. Unfortunately in this society today that rebellion is accepted in many forms. I don't need to point them out, we see them every day and yet we remain silent when it is tossed in our face. It has become acceptable and tolerated because of the worlds definition of freedom. True freedom from all of this is only possible by the grace of God who gave his son for you and me. Come on, be honest, we engage in things that are walking that thin line of right and wrong and we enjoy the thrill. I pray it is not at the expense of our souls. I pray we don't get enticed right off that line. Unfortunately I do see people who have choose the wrong way and it grieves me as I'm sure God is grieved even more so. It is time we stand and leave the consequences to God. We must plant our boots firmly with the Word of God and stop looking for just comfort. Abiding in the love of God is not by word only but by deed too. The proof we believe is shown to others by our actions. Sure we all faulter but how do we get back on that line? That is where the grace and strength comes in. Were it not for God and HIS power, we would all just turn into kaos and ruin would abound. So seek our savior and the power of his might, put on all his armour and fight the good fight. In all of our weakness he becomes so strong. He gives us the power and the strength to carry on. Think about this today...

Eph 1:18-23
I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.
NIV

Ps 119:18-24
Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law. I am a stranger on earth;do not hide your commands from me. My soul is consumed with longing for your laws at all times. You rebuke the arrogant, who are cursed and who stray from your commands. Remove from me scorn and contempt,for I keep your statutes. Though rulers sit together and slander me,your servant will meditate on your decrees. Your statutes are my delight;they are my counselors. NIV

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for friends that stand by us when we are weak. Lord bless those who seek you. Lord we ask you for forgiveness and for wisdom in all we do. Help us see truth in things and not get pushed and pulled from the thin line of righteousness. Lord we thank you for your wonderful creations. Help us see pain and help and not inflict it, in Jesus name, amen
