πŸ’₯ Connecting to God through prayer (12-11-2024)


* Thank YOU for teaching me about peace and how to follow after peace and for eliminating people and activities which cause me to be troubled and "wasted".

* Thank YOU for the snow and the variations in weather.  

* Thank YOU for the place I live and for putting me to live with another believer who has the type of faith I have.

* Thank YOU for the great company YOU provide and the inner understanding that I am never alone.

* Thank YOU for The Word of God.  I can't imagine going forward without having the Word of God before me to lead me and give me courage and to show me what to do.

Thank YOU for providing for all my needs ... food, clothing, shelter, godly human company

* Deliver me from evil ... open my eyes to understand when humans would hurt me and activities would hurt me.

* Please help me to edify the church!

* Please show me what to do that I may be in better position to edify people in godly ways.

* Please help me to live a godly life going forward.  Please help me to put away from me ungodly ways, ungodly concepts, ungodly people whether on TV or in reality.

* Please help me to love the good and hate the evil.

I don't believe much time is left.  Please fill my time with good.

Please help me think on good things as the apostle Paul said to do.

Philippians 4:8  Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

* virtue defined:  doing what is right in the sight of God; following that which is brought to your mind by the Holy Spirit for that is the heart of God on the matter at hand; strength shown by God even when it is difficult to do causing loss to you in reputation among men;  conforming to Bible by doing what Bible says by the Holy Spirit of God.

John 8:31-32   Jesus says:  Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on HIM, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;

32

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

continue means:  to go on in a specified course of action:  to do and to keep on doing.
