For Today…December 3, 2008

Dear Lord,

I bring you my shortcomings…I bring my sins to You Lord, because I cannot make myself perfect, nor can I ‘make up’ for anything evil that I have done. You alone, my dear Heavenly Father, are able to cleanse me and make me a vessel fit for Your use, through your Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.


I bring you my worship and praise…that with You there is forgiveness of sins that you may be reverenced. Psalm 130:3-8

I bring you my prayer… Please enable me to look to Christ, in hope, receiving Your abundant grace. Today, may I live thankfully and joyfully, victorious over the sin that yet remains in me.

You spoke to me…‘Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.’-I Peter 5:6,7.

I thank You so much, Lord, for Your Word, for through it you cause me to grow spiritually (I Peter 2:2).

For Today…November 26, 2008

Dear Lord,

I bring you my shortcomings…Lord, You know I hate it when I let my feelings get ‘hurt.’ You say in Your Word that it is an honor to overlook an offense, to be slow to anger, and to be patient. I especially desire to honor you in my closest life relationships, with those who know me the best.

I bring you my worship and praise…that with You there is forgiveness of sins (Ephesians 1:7). When I look to You, for forgiveness, for your grace, and for sanctification, my heart is light!

I bring you my prayer… Please forgive me, Lord, when I act as if I sanctify myself by my own works, when it is Your grace I need, not only for salvation, but for sanctification as well.

You spoke to me…in the book of Esther recently. When Esther is faced with danger if she does the right thing, her cousin Mordecai encourages her, saying, ‘Who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?’ (Esther 4:14b). We each have our own challenges and calls to duty, custom made for us by the Lord. In whatever situation I find myself, I will be brave and faithful, by God’s grace, to do the right thing.
