May God Bless My Future.
A Prayer for October 18
Read this prayer slowly, meditate on each line, and pray the phrases in your own words.Infinite Father, You are my life, light and future,
You are my hope, and You alone are my redemption.
I have tried the world and found its promise empty;
You are willing to fill my soul with truth and mercy.
When I think about You, I find a song in my heart;
For the blessing of knowing You is beyond measure.
Thank You for the fruitfulness of these present days
For opportunities for improvement and service,
I thank You for You have planned all my future days
And filled them with stores for my spiritual blessing,
Hidden delights and experiences for my growth.
May each day I do my part to advance Your kingdom.
Let not my folly stifle Your plans for good to me,
Or let any sin to darken the light of Your love,
Keep me from wandering from the way of Jesus.
Help me to seek You each morning for daily guidance.
Show me my sins so I may come to You for cleansing.
Strip away my petty shams and fortify my heart.
Let your Spirit finish the work of Christ in me,
Through the riches of grace in Christ Jesus my Savior.
For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— Ephesians 1:4-5 NIV
Adron
A little commentary:
Our future is already planned by a loving God who has our best in his heart. We do our best to seek not our plans for the future but to search His plans for us and fulfill His purposes for our best. He has prepared blessings and tests for us for our good.
(c) Adron 9/16/12
