allow His Joy to Lead me

Uncategorized

8The greater my wisdom, the greater my grief.
To increase knowledge only increases sorrow.

God gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy to those who please him. But if a sinner becomes wealthy, God takes the wealth away and gives it to those who please him. This, too, is meaningless—like chasing the wind.

And people should eat and drink and enjoy the fruits of their labor, for these are gifts from God.

Lord God, Father
Help me to live this day lead by your Joy, May Joy lead me into all I do today May I take delight doing your will and be an example of peace to my family and the world.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Stubborn for the Lord, finally.

And it is good for people to submit at an early age
to the yoke of his discipline:

Yes, you came when I called;
you told me, “Do not fear.”

Restore us, O lord, and bring us back to you again!
Give us back the joys we once had!
22Or have you utterly rejected us?
Are you angry with us still?

Lord God,
For so long I fought to have my way, now I am weary and tired and I understand my way is full of sin. Lord God I am sorry to have used my stubborn heart for my way and not stubbornly turned to you. I submit to you Lord and surrender my will to yours.
In Jesus name,
Amen

Who’s desire to I follow?

She defiled herself with immorality
and gave no thought to her future.

Your prophets have said
so many foolish things, false to the core.

This world belongs to Satan, it is only when we take our eye off of God we fall victim to his desires.

Lord God,
Help me to always keep my eye on you and not allow any opportunity for me to fall from your awesome power and grace. May I please you and delight you every moment of this day.
In Jesus name I pray,
Amen

Oh to have the heart of Ruth

“Where did you work? May the lord bless the one who helped you!”

I will do what is necessary, for everyone in town knows you are a virtuous woman.

Oh Lord God my Father,
May I have a heart of unconditional love so I may only speak in blessing for all I come in contact with. Lord God I pray I may live to serve you and may all my actions and thoughts be guided by you. I surrender to your will, may I delight in serving you this day.

In Jesus name, Amen

“Brace yourself like a man,
because I have some questions for you,
and you must answer them.

Lord God, give me the clarity to have relentless integrity with you. Free me from my deceptions and make me discerning of your truth

In Jesus name,
Amen

God’s understanding, my strength.

“God is mighty, but he does not despise anyone!
He is mighty in both power and understanding.

Again I need to replace my foundation with God’s understanding. I must not think or reason but allow God to pass his desires thru me.

Lord God,
May I be nothing more than a path for you to use for your glory. May I release my own desire and allow you to direct every step and action.
In Jesus name,
Amen

Help me to know He knows.

14For God speaks again and again,
though people do not recognize it.

“For God watches how people live;
he sees everything they do.
22No darkness is thick enough
to hide the wicked from his eyes.

Lord God,
May I live a life transparent in my thoughts and actions. extend my discernment to the deepest places in my spirit that are not pleasing to you and make that change obvious to me so I may delight in you alone.

In Jesus name,
Amen

I need to own each thought, and surrender to his desire for me.

If I have strayed from his pathway,
or if my heart has lusted for what my eyes have seen,
or if I am guilty of any other sin,
8then let someone else eat the crops I have planted.
Let all that I have planted be uprooted.

Oh Lord God, I surrender my heart to you, Take the lust from me and and satisfy my soul in you alone. I struggle with my thoughts, I don’t want to struggle any more. May my deepest desires be in you and hold me accountable for my wandering thoughts.

In Jesus name,
Amen

True wisdom is to forsake evil.

Uncategorized

“Wicked people rebel against the light.
They refuse to acknowledge its ways
or stay in its paths.

And though they are great now,
in a moment they will be gone like all others,

3As long as I live,
while I have breath from God,
4my lips will speak no evil,
and my tongue will speak no lies.
5I will never concede that you are right;
I will defend my integrity until I die.
6I will maintain my innocence without wavering.
My conscience is clear for as long as I live.

“God alone understands the way to wisdom;
he knows where it can be found,
24for he looks throughout the whole earth
and sees everything under the heavens.

28And this is what he says to all humanity:
‘The fear of the Lord is true wisdom;
to forsake evil is real understanding.’”

Ok, so I need to work on my integrity so I can be confident that my conscience is clear.

Lord God,
May I forsake evil and it’s desires to separate me from you. May I walk with integrity and be a light that destroys darkness where it hides around me waiting to strike.

In Jesus name,
Amen

confident faith

Uncategorized

For I have stayed on God’s paths;
I have followed his ways and not turned aside.
12I have not departed from his commands,
but have treasured his words more than daily food.

Darkness is all around me;
thick, impenetrable darkness is everywhere.

To have the confidence in my faith as Job. He is secure in his walk, his friends try to cause doubt but he is firm in his faith but no one believes him.

Lord God,
Allow me to have faith with out doubt as Job did. Allow my walk to be lead by you and your truth. Put friends in my path who will support my growth and not judge me. Give me boldness and confidence, reveal the areas I am struggling with so I may grow closer to you.

In Jesus name,
Amen
