Away From Temptation And Satisfied In You

Proverbs 30:7-9
7 "Two things I ask of you, O LORD;
do not refuse me before I die:

8 Keep falsehood and lies far from me;
give me neither poverty nor riches,
but give me only my daily bread.

9 Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you
and say, 'Who is the LORD ?'
Or I may become poor and steal,
and so dishonor the name of my God.


This is such an awesome prayer of humility. It doesn't mean that God does not bless us with so much, but it is a prayer to humble the heart and to live a life that is satisfied with what God has blessed us with. It is to know that we are human and that we are capable of facing more sin if put in certain situations.

I need to humble my heart and my life like how it is prayed here. I know that God will provide. He is the great and powerful God of the Universe, He can provide for even the birds in the air, so much more He can provide for the one He died for. Let that be my prayer, to be contempt with my daily bread; to be satisfied with You.

Father, I thank you for your Love for me and the blessings you have poured over my life. I know that you are a loving God who cares for His children. Let me be humbled before you in prayer as I read through your words and receive breath in my life through it. I pray for a satisfaction for your daily bread and that I may continue to seek you daily. I know that I am human, and pray against temptation and sin. I thank you for being with me I pray for forgiveness of my faults and repent from my sins, that I may turn away from it, and be living a life pleasing to you. I thank you Lord and pray this in Jesus name.
Amen.

Keep Away From Division

Romans 16:17
17I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them.


Again, here in the Bible it teaches us to fight against division within the Body of Christ. It warns us to watch out for things that cause division and causes the church to be divided.

We need to constantly watch out for satan's attacks. He knows that the church, when divided and not working in unity, will fall apart and not be effective for God's works. Let us pray against these attacks and watch out for division within as well as build unity within God's people.

Father, I thank you for your words that speak so much truth. I know that the devil is out to ruin the Body of Christ and I know that he is finding ways to do it, but I pray against such things. I pray that God's people be united through Christ Jesus and that we stand against any division that comes our way. Let us greet each other in love and continue to build that relationship with each other as we do in Christ. I thank you for your blessings and I pray this in Your Holy name.
Amen.

Right Blessings, Right Time

Proverbs 27:14
14 If a man loudly blesses his neighbor early in the morning,
it will be taken as a curse.


This verse spoke to me about how to go about with encouragement and blessings. It shows us that we have to do everything in a right manner and at the right time. This verse is not talking about "self" Christians who shout out praises so everyone can hear. No, this verse is talking about giving blessings to someone who is still sleeping. Even the best blessings at the wrong time could be a curse to others.

We must be wise in the way that we handle things. I know I have to think before I do things. If I say things in a wrong manner or at the wrong time, it may come off as a curse instead of a blessing. I need God's wisdom to do things correctly.

Father God, I know that you are full of wisdom and that your guidance in my life is precious to me. I pray for your ways to do things be my first thought and decision. I pray for your wisdom in how to handle things, in how to encourage and bless. I pray that your will be done in all situations. I thank you Lord, and I pray this in Jesus name.
Amen.

Restrain Yourself

Proverbs 23:19-21
19 Listen, my son, and be wise,
and keep your heart on the right path.

20 Do not join those who drink too much wine
or gorge themselves on meat,

21 for drunkards and gluttons become poor,
and drowsiness clothes them in rags.


This verse talks about don't drink and eat too much, not only to take care of the body that God has given us, but much more than that. It is stating to be disciplined in yourself and build restraint.

Sometimes I have a hard time restraining myself and being disciplined in my ways. I know that it is tough to do it and that I have to fight against my flesh. God's purpose through all this is to build me up and sharpen me in all characteristics in my life.

Lord God, I thank you for your words, your great wise words that speaks truth in my life. I know that you know what is best for me. I know that you will continue to help me grow and mold me in a way that you have wanted for me. Let me build discipline in all things, not just eating and drinking, but against all things that is unpleasing to you. I thank you Lord and continue to be with me I pray in Jesus Holy name.
Amen.

Clothed In Christ

Romans 13:14
14Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature.


I believe the flesh is something that we will always struggle with, but the Bible says to clothe ourselves with Christ. We must fill our hearts with that which is the Lord to overcome temptation.

I need to be more in Christ and more in His will, so that I may overcome my sins and my temptation to sin. I know that the Lord is with me and He is my strength. I need to only cover myself with His will and His desires for me.

Father, I thank you Lord for your Love for me. Let me love like how you love. Let me more and more like you. Cover your spirit over my life so that I may be clothed by You. I pray for your anointing and your power to come into my life. Lead me in your ways I pray. In Jesus name.
Amen.
