Thank You for Your Word

Dear Heavenly Father,

I come to You in the affirming, faithful, and life-giving name of Your Son Jesus Christ, thanking You for all that You are doing in and through my life. Thanking You for your provision and providence, thanking You for wisdom and instruction and Your continual guidance. Thank You that anytime I need to talk, You are there, anytime I need to cry You are there when I need a reason to rejoice You're still right there, and when I need peace, You're there. You are everything I need whenever I need it, You are my all-sufficiency. There's nothing, no one, nor any imagined thing that compares to You. Thank You for being God. I want to learn how to give up my life to know You better, encourage my faith? I want to live my life in a way that honors and glorifies Your magnificent works. Teach me in the ways of righteousness so that I might be an example to the generations that follow. Share with me more of Your word than I have experienced thus far so that I can do what is right. I put my flesh under subjection, I say no to unbalanced desires that please my natural man and feed the real me on the inside. You give strength and life and wisdom and direction to the real me, my spirit longs for more of You. Your Word is full of instruction and commandments and tells us to do good works. You also said in Your Word that he who knows what to do but doesn’t do it is sinning. I don't want to live a life of sin or another moment in sin, so thank You for remaining present in my life. I pray that the thoughts that I have please You, and the words that I speak please You, and the actions that I take please You; You sent Your Word into the world to instruct us, and I will study to show myself approved and to glorify You in all it is that I do. Thank You for what You are doing and thank You for all that You have done, but most importantly thank You for who You are in my Life. 

~ Amen 

Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, it is sin. - James 4:17 

Contentment and Perserverance (Prayer)

Dear Heavenly Father,

I come to you in the bondage-breaking name of our Lord Jesus Christ, You are the only worthy God, you are the Most High God, El Elyon. You are my Redeemer, Jehovah-Go'el. You are the God of Truth, El Emet, You are the Living God Elohim Chaiyim. Thank You, Father, You are my Peace, Jehovah-Shalom. You teach me in Your word that You desire unity, faith, patience, and meekness. You encourage me to do for others and to be content with what I have. Your word says in First Timothy godliness with great contentment is great gain, and You warn me of falling into the temptation of riches. Father God I thank You and seek to honor you in all my ways and all my thoughts. I will go the extra mile for others and allow Your love to be seen in me for I am Your child and Your Spirit lives in me building me up transforming me into a glorious church without spot and without blemish. Have Your way today Lord as I go about to serve You and to do those things which You have commanded me to do. I seek to glorify You and to Honor You with my life in a way that is pleasing to You. Father show me what You would have me to do and that is what I will do. Not my plans but the plans you have for me. Not for my selfish and perverse ways but Your holy and sanctified path. Lord, I thank You for every waking moment, and I give You all glory, all honor, and all the praise forever and ever.

~ Amen

And whoever compels you to go a mile, go with him two. - Matthew 5:41

But godliness with contentment is great gain. - 1st Timothy 6:6
