Purest of hearts

Looking straight at him, Paul realized he had faith to be healed.

when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. 4So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.

God is never tempted to do wrong,1:13 Or God should not be put to a test by evil people. and he never tempts anyone else. 14Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away. 15These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death.

So whatever you say or whatever you do, remember that you will be judged by the law that sets you free.

If you are wise and understand God’s ways, prove it by living an honorable life, doing good works with the humility that comes from wisdom.

Resist the devil, and he will flee from you

Remember, it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it.

Lord God,
Remove doubt from my spirit, may I only live in your truth. Give me power over the struggles of this world so my faith in you will overwhelm the struggle and reveal your truth. Remove my sinful nature and deliver me to your ways only. May I identify the law you put before me I struggle with so I may be set free from it by submitting to your truth. Give me your wisdom so I may live all of my life for you. Protect me and banish Satan from my presence, may I only serve you.

In Jesus name,
Amen

To only live in the light

“You son of the devil, full of every sort of deceit and fraud, and enemy of all that is good! Will you never stop perverting the true ways of the Lord?

‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart. He will do everything I want him to do.’13:22 1 Sam 13:14.

Lord God,
Open my eyes to the true nature of Satan so I may see his deceit for what it is, Give the power to avoid the lies of this world. Allow your truth to shine so bright not darkness may live in me. May I do all things you wish me to do for your glory alone.

In Jesus name,
Amen

His confidence not my fear

3“But Lord,” exclaimed Ananias, “I’ve heard many people talk about the terrible things this man has done to the believers

Get up, go downstairs, and go with them without hesitation. Don’t worry, for I have sent them.”

Then Peter replied, “I see very clearly that God shows no favoritism. 35In every nation he accepts those who fear him and do what is right.

Lord God,
Remove completely the fear I carry, give me an obedient spirit that does your will above my own. Use me to do your will and share your love to all starting with my family and friends. May strangers and family see you thru my witness.

In Jesus name,
Amen

oh, that I may “see”

Moses assumed his fellow Israelites would realize that God had sent him to rescue them, but they didn’t.

for I can see that you are full of bitter jealousy and are held captive by sin.”

Lord God,
Open the eyes of this world to see you, remove the arrogance and selfishness from the hearts of your people. Open my heart to hold only your spirit and use me for your work.

In Jesus name,
Amen

To be stronger than this world

The members of the council were amazed when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, for they could see that they were ordinary men with no special training in the Scriptures. They also recognized them as men who had been with Jesus.

“Do you think God wants us to obey you rather than him? 20We cannot stop telling about everything we have seen and heard.”

Lord God,
Give a boldness to my faith, take from me any fear or weakness and deliver me into your spirit, may I obey you above this world.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Rest in the Truth

“O Lord, you know every heart.

‘I see that the Lord is always with me.
I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.

Lord God,
Know my heart and give it your desire, may I have faith that you are in control and release that control to your care. May I only allow your truth to rest on my heart and may that give my comfort and peace.

In Jesus name,
Amen

To live Truth

Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.

Don’t be faithless any longer. Believe!”

Then the disciple Jesus loved said to Peter, “It’s the Lord!”

Lord God,
Open my mind and protect it from compromise. Increase my faith and your ability in my life. May I see you.

In Jesus name,
Amen

His Truth, the only Truth

Anyone who doesn’t love me will not obey me.

I’m not asking you to take them out of the world, but to keep them safe from the evil one.

And I give myself as a holy sacrifice for them so they can be made holy by your truth.

And all the people yelled back, “We will take responsibility for his death—we and our children!”

Lord God,
Open my eyes to see the deepness of your Love, may I accept your truth for this world and reflect your truth in Love. May my actions be Holy by my surrender to your will and may the world be attracted to your truth thru my witness to you.

In Jesus name,
Amen
