daily prayer

Good morning! How are we faithing? I hope your weekend was restful and I hope your Pastor's sermon spoke to you. It has been really cool lately to talk to old friends and new. I got in a discussion with a young man of God this past weekend and even though we disagreed we were still brothers in Christ and the love of Jesus was still amidst us. We disagree but are saved. We disagreed but are not swayed in our love for each other. We disagreed but we considered both views. We disagreed but worshiped Jesus for who he is and what he has done. Getting mad or attacking each other would have served no one but the enemy. Divide and conquer is his M O. The only time it is appropriate to attack a belief system is when it is contrary to the Word of God. Our talk was over something that isn't worth splitting a friendship or even a church body over. It's significance is akin to wearing a tie to church or not. Important personally but nor scripturaly. We do need to be careful when we discuss these things and not let it become a point of contention or a point of division. I like Chevy trucks, others like Dodge. I like Epiphone guitars, others like Fenders. I like red and black, others like green and yellow. Do those things matter really? Only to that person. Start your day with prayer and asking for wisdom for the day. Be concerned with Jesus and don't let things that really don't matter cloud your view of our savior!

Ps 143:8
Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul.
NIV

Ps 25:4-5
Show me your ways, O LORD, teach me your paths; guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.
NIV

Hos 6:3
Let us acknowledge the LORD; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth."
NIV

Heavenly Father,
Thank you Lord for always loving us. We seek your ways and your wisdom all the time. Forgive us when we drop the proverbial ball and help us recognise and humbly pick it back up. Lord we lift those mentioned up to you today, heal the needs and comfort each of them. Lord our leaders from our bosses to the president need guidance and peace. We ask for an out pouring of your Holy Spirit on all of these today. Let them know who is in charge and calm their minds so they hear your voice. Thank you for your grace in Jesus name amen
