daily prayer

Good morning! How are we faithing? This week we have discussed alot about where our heads are directed. Knowing where and how to think appropriately is a tough sell sometimes. Not what to think but how to think. Learning to recognise truth and not appearances of truth. You know what is in your head, so does God. You can be sheepishly non candid but that doesn't change the fact that God is aware of your most intimate thoughts, good and or bad. It is easy to rationalize and to lie to one's self but what or who does that benefit? Absolutely no one. Be honest with yourself and if you are struggling with erroneous or inappropriate thoughts, confess them immediately and ask for help! I know where my mind strays occasionally and reeling it in isn't always easy. Basic things we need to remember do indeed help us keep focus, control our actions and reveal true self motives and desires. Once these things are revealed or recognised we are able to take captive those thoughts, sort them and sweep out or store appropriately.

Colossians 3:1-11
If then you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory. Therefore consider the members of your earthly body as dead to immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which amounts to idolatry. For it is on account of these things that the wrath of God will come, and in them you also once walked, when you were living in them. But now you also, put them all aside: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and abusive speech from your mouth. Do not lie to one another, since you laid aside the old self with its evil practices, and have put on the new self who is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One who created him -- a renewal in which there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave and freeman, but Christ is all, and in all.

Heavenly Father,
Help us be wise and truthful with ourselves. Help us act and show only truth. Help us not harbor any malice. Lord we ask for so much wisdom and discerning grace so we can actually shine with your light. Heal these children of yours and let them know you are with them, In Jesus name, amen
