daily prayer

Great morning! How are we faithing? With everything we have talked about the last few days, here is some scripture to tie it all together;

Romans 12:9-21
Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor; not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer, contributing to the needs of the saints, practicing hospitality. Bless those who persecute you; bless and curse not. Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation. Never pay back evil for evil to anyone. Respect what is right in the sight of all men. If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men. Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord. "But if your enemy is hungry, feed him, and if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in so doing you will heap burning coals upon his head." Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
NAS

Hmmm, pretty much sums up our attitude and the thinking mode that we should focus on. If God sees our heart and forgives our deeds, why or what would ever make us think we can't or shouldn't do the same? We all know where and how we have failed therefore what we see in others isn't any different. Lets try to see the heart of others and adjust our mindset when correction is needed. If you are one of those who needs to belittle others or must have others approval, it's time to get to the root of that attitude and ask the Lord to create a clean new heart in you. He accepts you as you are so why don't you? Think about that...

Remember our troops...remember our leaders...

Heavenly Father,
We ask for healing in our hearts from wrongs done to us. We pray you bestow the grace and courage to forgive and to see truth even when our feelings are hurt. Help us not lash out and point fingers in a perfectionist attitude. Help us curb our tongue so we can not cause pain. Lord we ask for revelation for our leaders. Help them make the choices that are your choices. Protect our military, help them show mercy, in Jesus name, amen
