Goodness In The Heart Of Heavenly Father

If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him! Matthew 7:11 (ESV)

Heavenly Father this morning, beautiful and serene, is another blessed day from you. Though life goes on, I can sense your goodness upon all your creations particularly to us, your wonderful handiwork. Oh Father to taste your goodness which flows generously from your tender heart brings true joy and peace to me daily, despite the hustle and bustle of life everywhere I turn. I ask afresh that you grant me divine wisdom to do your work daily and be a blessing to my colleagues, friends and family as I make conversation with them. Let your goodness richly flow from my heart and touch them in area of their need. I thank you Father for your goodness and generosity to grant me this request. In Jesus' name I pray.

Reflection, Evaluation, Awareness, Change, Healing (REACH)

Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye. Matthew 7:4-5 (ESV)

Heavenly Father, thank you for enlightening me in this wonderful truth of taking the right steps before seeking to correct someone. You reinforce in me the need to do self reflection first, so that I will have an awareness of my inner motivation, attitude, thoughts, words and actions before making any comments on others.  May I be your agent of change and healing, instead of bringing discouragement and sadness to others. In Jesus' name I pray.

Seek God Stumble Not

But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. "Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. Matthew 6:33-34 (ESV)

Heavenly Father increase a deeper desire to seek you for your kingdom consists of peace, righteousness and  joy of the Holy Spirit. In this way I shall be able to manage the worries and anxieties that this troubled world brings to me, and not be overcome by these. Enable me to seek you more and take steps of faith when i am faced with various challenges today. Let my relationship with you deepen as i trust you in your divine guidance and provisions for every day's needs. In Jesus' wonderful name I give thanks to you Father.

Think Heavenly Walk Faithfully

But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?  Matthew 6:30 (ESV) 

Dear Heavenly Father while living in trying time like this with huge part of the earth filled with calamities, diseases, bloodshed, hunger and starvation, and many uncertainties, help me to think heavenly and walk faithfully by the grace of Jesus, love of God and communion with the Holy Spirit. Teach me to see everything including my family, work, church, friends, hobbies and ministry from your perspective, and never lose sight of my calling and the portion alloted for me so that my roots shall be grounded on kingdom values and principles, instead of earthly delights and materialistic pursuits. Father may I be sensitive to your Spirit's leading and ready to speak words of encouragement to someone who is overly concerned about physical well-being today. In Jesus' name of pray.

All Of Christ Or Nothing

No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money. Matthew 6:24 (ESV)

Dear Father everything in the world is temporal, no matter how promising and rewarding it can be, if it only brings pleasure to the flesh and lead me to lose sight of the permanent and eternal. Thank You Father that I am reminded that these worldly goods and services nourish the body and not my soul. I desire that everything I have received from you should make me more like Christ and lead me to be your instrument of love, peace and joy to the needy, poor and sick in body, soul and spirit. Father lead me daily to touch these lives and usher them into the Kingdom of light so that they shall truly serve only Christ and despise all else. In Jesus' name I pray.

Light Shines Through A Pure Heart

The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness! Matthew 6:22-23 (ESV)

Heavenly Father i know that what i see can affect my mind and heart for this world system is deeply corrupted and greatly polluted by evil, largely unseen.. Help me to have a stronger awareness of the flesh at work in me. May the light in me constantly reflect your glory and grace. Let my body, your temple, shine brightly and dispel the darkness of greed, lies and mistrust in the heart of the wicked. May it be that what I see, hear, smell, taste and touch glorify your holy name Father. In Jesus' name I pray.

Heart Like Jesus, Treasures In Heaven

"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Matthew 6:19-21 (ESV)

Heavenly Father I pray for my heart to have all affections and desires constantly align with Christ. Let everything that is very dear to your heart and precious to you be my passion, my focus and my life goals. Create in me a genuine thirst and hunger for the salvation of souls for without which any treasure accumulated will be destroyed by moth and rust, or stolen by thieves. Holy Spirit teach me what it means to be a disciple of Christ, and reveal to me the biblical meaning of discipleship and disciple-making as i seek to obeythe Great Commission commanded in Matthew 28:18-20. I give you praise and adoration Father, and in Jesus' name I pray.
