Today's Prayer 1/13/13

Our Heavenly Father, thank you for another day here on earth to glorify you. You are the creator of the universe and I am so honored to have a relationship with you.

Lord, I will be faithful to you today. Even though I do not know how the outcome will come to pass, I trust in your path more than I do on my own understanding. I want to give back to you my first fruits, not just what is left over. I claim the promise you provided in Malachi 3:10-11

10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it. 11 I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not drop their fruit before it is ripe,” says the Lord Almighty.

Lord, give me patience and integrity with others today. Remind me that I am not above any of my friends, neighbors or even my adversaries. You ask me to be as moral and righteous as I can. When I judge others and act like I am more knowledgeable, I am really acting arrogant in your site.

Thank you for the gift of salvation and mercy. Without these, I would be unacceptable in your site. Without the blood of Jesus, I would be unacceptable in your site. Thank you for loving me enough that you gave me a way to be close to you.

Give me strength this week as I work hard on the opportunities and challenges that face me. Let me glorify you in the small things that I do as well as the big things. Please forgive me of my sins and my sinful nature. In your precious name of Jesus I pray, Amen.
