Renew the Truths

Dear Lord please be with us this day and may the Holy Spirit please be guiding and protecting us as we tread the paths of this day. Please give us understanding this day where mysteries have been before. Please give us confidence where doubt has been before, and help us renew the truths that Jesus taught as if children without fear moving ever closer to the Kingdom of God. Please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others, and thank You for all of the great gifts that You have given us, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen. 

KJV*
Isa 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. 

Ro 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. 
Ro 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. 

Tit 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

Balancing

Dear Lord please be with us this day and may the Holy Spirit be guiding and protecting us as we travel the paths of this day. Please help us make wise choices and pick values and priorities to follow that will take us into Your presence with understanding as we seek Your Kingdom. Please help us understand and accept that the balancing that is done in accordance to Your Will in Your Creation is beyond our comprehension, and that we must accept with faith that You are the Omnipotent Creator and it is by Your design that we exist. Please help us see that You continue to prune and shape Your Creation as we might visualise the pruning of a vine by the gardener or the shaping of a vessel by the potter. Please enter into our thinking and give us the strength we need to handle the adversity put before us, and lead us away from the lustful temptations of hate and greed all around us. In Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

KJV*
Pr 16:4 The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. 

Isa 28:16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.

Ps 118:22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.

Mt 21:42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

Mt 22:37  Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 
Mt 22:38 This is the first and great commandment.
Mt 22:39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Mt 22:40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

1Th 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

Productive Day

Dear Lord please be with us this day and may the Holy Spirit please guide and protect us in the things that we try to do.

Please give us enough energy and ambition to have an interesting and productive day, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen. 

KJV*
Php 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
Php 2:14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings: 
Php 2:15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;

Humble Reward

Dear Lord please be with us this day and please may the Holy Spirit be with us in every deed and thought with the satisfaction of having helped others being our reward at the day's end. Dear Lord please may this satisfaction not lead us into any false egotistical thinking of our own exaltation or glory, but let us be acting with humble love at all times. Thank You for all of the great gifts that You have given us and please forgive our sins as we forgive the mistakes of others, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen. 

KJV*
Eph 1:17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
Eph 1:18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
Eph 1:19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,

Mt 25:23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

KJV*
Heb 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Heb 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 

1Co 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 
1Co 2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 
1Co 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 
1Co 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 
1Co 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
