For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Matthew 6:14'-15 (ESV)
Heavenly Father my spirit is refreshed by this divine truth in that you affirm me on how true forgiveness can be graciously granted to me and is available all the times. I desire to grow to be caring, loving and forgiving towards others for these qualities are made possible by your divine grace and mercy. I receive them daily for they are new every morning. Holy Spirit empower me to apply this truth this week. In Jesus' gracious name I pray.

Knowing Weaknesses Overcoming Temptations
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Matthew 6:13 (ESV)
Heavenly Father every morning my heart would get joyful and feel peaceful when i look at the bright beautiful greenery surrounding me. Walking and gazing at all the stoic trees parading along my pathway towards MRT station makes me think about you, the Giver of life and full of goodness. However your Word today reminds me of real evil and wickedness existing everywhere and lurking at every corner ever ready to snatch me from living victoriously and walking obediently to you. I ask for your discernment, wisdom and insight so that I can be aware of the subtleties of Satan's fiery darts in my weakest moments. Holy Spirit I submit to you my thoughts, desires and speech in my walk with you today. In Jesus' awesome name I pray.

Forgiven To Forgive
And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. Matthew 6:12 (ESV)
Heavenly Father I have received the inner peace deep in my soul that can only be given from above, that is from you. Father I know I am cleansed and forgiven even before I was born for Christ's death and resurrection has saved me from my sins and reconciled me with you. May my heart be tender and forgiving towards the ignorant, the angry or the hurting as they react against your truth and ignore yiur mercy letting sins continue to reign in their lives. Father help me also to exercise this virtue of forgiveness daily, so that my heart is pure and faith simple constantly. In Jesus' name I ask and pray.

True Thankfulness
Give us this day our daily bread. Matthew 6:11 (ESV)
Dear Heavenly Father I thank you for this beautiful morning that I can enjoy your wonderful creation afresh, especially every human I am meeting for we are indeed fearfully and wonderfully created in your image and likeness. Father may I learn the true meaning of giving sincere thanksgiving to you for every kind of providence and provision, be it spiritual or physical. This moment I pause and give thanks to you for my daily bread that nourishes my body and strengthens my inner man. May I also learn to reflect on your goodness and greatness throughout this brand new week. In Jesus' lovely name I give thanks.

God Is My Motivation
But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, that your fasting may not be seen by others but by your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. Matthew 6:17-18 (ESV).
Heavenly Father let every spiritual discipline like fasting, prayer, meditation, solitude, Bible Study and many more be done because of my love for Christ and is to glorify your holy name. I will always treasure what Christ has done for me at the Cross, which is so dear, personal to my heart. I am now blessed with abundant life and shall spend eternity with Him. Thank you Heavenly Father.
