To shine with His light

Don’t sin by letting anger control you.
Think about it overnight and remain silent.

Turn and answer me, O Lord my God!
Restore the sparkle to my eyes, or I will die.

Lord God,
You are my strength and power, Don’t allow me to get in your way in my life. Keep me from my desires and sin’s. May I have your patience, I have none of my own. May your grace shine thru me.
In Jesus name,
Amen

No compromise

Lord God,
Place on my spirit your discernment, fill me with your wisdom and desires. Take from me my sinful nature and give me strength to do your will. Be close and relentless in leading me, keep me on your path. May I surrender all I am to your purpose, may I do what brings you glory this day.
In Jesus name,
Amen

To live for the Lord, in all things.

11Uriah replied, “The Ark and the armies of Israel and Judah are living in tents,11:11 Or at Succoth. and Joab and my master’s men are camping in the open fields. How could I go home to wine and dine and sleep with my wife? I swear that I would never do such a thing.”

But the Lord was displeased with what David had done.

you have despised me by taking Uriah’s wife to be your own.

Lord God,
May I have the faith of Uriah, and put your task above my will and not have compromise in my actions. May I devote my life and will to your purpose and not displease you with my actions this day. May I be content with what you have given me and care for your gifts you have trusted me with all for your glory.
In Jesus name,
Amen
