He Knows My Every Need

Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
Matthew 6:8 (ESV).

Heavenly Father thank you very much for this assurance of your omnipresence in that you are an all knowing God. There is nothing in my heart whether is my need, desire or hope that can be hidden from you. I take much comfort in this knowing that you know best on when to provide for me, and and how much is good for my spiritual growth. Once again, I commit to you all areas of needs as i abide in your love and walk in your perfect will. Let today be a day filled with trust in your providence and joy in your abiding presence. In Jesus' wonderful name I give thanks to you Father.

God Looks At My Heart

Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 6:1 (ESV).

Dear Heavenly Father you remind me that what is in my heart really matters to you when comes to doing good works in and for the community. May i truly represent Jesus in words and deeds, so that the poor and sick will experience Christ's divine love and will testify of your goodness and mercy one day. Thank you Father for the great privilege of co-labouring with you. May I do your perfect will for me daily. In Jesus' name I pray.

Christ Be Formed In Me

You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. Matthew 5:48 (ESV).

Dear Heavenly Father thank you for another blessed morning and I know this beautiful sunny day is a precious gift from you. Every conversation with you can be wonderful experience of deepening intimacy, for you are nurturing me towards greater maturity in Christ day by day. Help me not to lose sight of my Christian goal which is to have Christ fully formed in me, as i keep denying myself, taking up my cross and following you daily. May i keep my conscience blameless, mind renewed and inner man strengthened, as i seek to love all people regardless of their intentions, and touch their lives in every possible way by the power of to your Spirit today. In Jesus' name I pray.

God Ordains And Blesses Every Marital Relationship

It was also said, 'Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.' But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery. Matthew 5:31-32 (ESV).

Dear Heavenly Father every human relationship is precious to you, and it can and should be healthy characterized by the wonderful expression of agape love, especially marital relationships from which strong Christian families are firmly established reflecting the abiding and sweet presence of Christ. Father I sincerely thank you for many beautiful people from all walks of life that you bring into my life. May I cherish every one of them who, like me, is wonderfully and fearfully created by you. Also, may I always be very thankful for the richness they bring to my spiritual growth and maturity in Christ, and more so, to the strengthening of the blessed marital relationship you give me. May I be a blessing to someone needy today. In Jesus' lovely name I pray and give thanks.

Self-control Over What I See

You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery.' But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart. Matthew 5:27-28 (ESV).

Dear Heavenly Father help me to exercise self-control over what I see in the marketplace while facing all kinds of temptations and people around me. Many lustful and impure thoughts can conjure up in my mind, if leave it unguarded or fail to exercise self-discipline by not submitting to you wholeheartedly. Holy Spirit may I experience the joy of obedience to your leading, and always be mindful that I can grief you in a moment of lust and stubbornness. Every sin committed is a sin against you personally. Holy Spirit I thank you for your strength to walk with you in purity, peace power and purpose. May I truly love you with all my heart, mind, soul and strength as you you guide and bless me in this fresh new week. In Jesus' victorious name I pray.

Flesh Cruficied To Reveal Christ's Righteousness

For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.  Matthew 5:20 (ESV).

Dear Holy Spirit, lead me gently, yet unmistakely, to hear your still small voice convicting me of self-centeredness or any  egoistic behaviour resulted from fleshy manifestation of self-righteousness. Reveal to me more areas of my life that need to have my flesh cruficied, so that Christ's righteousness may be revealed in and through my life.  May others see that I am clothed wih Christ's righteousness and my thoughts and deeds are extensions of His righteousness in me. Teach me Holy Spirit that I may learn to give God the glory for every good work done by the grace of Jesus Christ. In Jesus' name I pray.

May My Good Works Be Light Pointing Others To Christ

You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:14-16 (ESV).

Heavenly Father I know that being your light wherever I go, especially in places of darkness, is a wonderful privilege. Holy Spirit I desire to partner with you to produce good works. May you open the eyes of my friends, family members and colleagues who are still spiritually blinded, and enable them to see the need to respond to this good news, and receive Jesus as Savior and Lord. May i be mindful that my life reflect, and not obstruct, the beautiful light of Jesus. In Jesus' name I pray.
