daily prayer

     Good morning! How are we faithing? The lyrics to the song "My Will" by D.C.Talk  are really hitting me today and rather than my words today I'll let you see theirs;


I'm setting the stage for the things I love

And I'm now the man I once couldn't be
Nothing on earth could now ever move me
I now have the will and the strength a man needs

It's my will, and I'm not moving
Cause if it's Your will, then nothing can shake me
It's my will, to bow and praise You
I now have the will to praise my God

Complexity haunts me for I am two men
Entrenched in a battle that I'll never win
My discipline fails me, my knowledge it fools me
But You are my shelter, all the strength that I need

I'm learning to give up the rights to myself
The bits and the pieces I've gathered as wealth
Could never compare to the joy that You bring me
The peace that You show me is the strength that I need

We've got to be children of peace


Some scripture to read with the song;


Isaiah 1:18
"Come now, and let us reason together,"
Says the LORD,
"Though your sins are as scarlet,
They will be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
they will be like wool.
NAS



John 7:15-18
The Jews therefore were marveling, saying, "How has this man become learned, having never been educated?" Jesus therefore answered them, and said, "My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me. "If any man is willing to do His will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it is of God, or whether I speak from Myself. "He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who is seeking the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
NAS




Remember Nicole and her family...remember Bobby and Jasmine...
 
Heavenly Father,
  Forgive us when we do our will over yours. Lord our flesh whoops us and we're sorry when the spirit is willing but our flesh is weak. Lord we lift those up who are hurting today, heal the wounds that bind them. Lord we ask for healing in your church from tongues wagging and from sins committed. Help us be your lights in a dark world. Grant the peace on the job that your servants need...in Jesus name, amen
