let’s pray…

would you pray this prayer right now?  “LORD, would you help me think of others and not just my own desires?  help me to be willing to admit when i am wrong.”

maybe you need to go to somebody this week and apologize.  say, “i’ve been selfish and i’m sorry.”  the bible says, GOD opposes the proud but he gives grace to the humble.  GOD will give you the power to change and become the person you’ve always wanted to be and HE’s always wanted you to be.  the bible says HE lifts you up.  before honor is humility. 

then would you pray, “ dear GOD, today i want to give into YOU.  i give YOU my life, my marriage, my career.  i submit it all to YOU.  i ask YOU to put the peace of CHRIST in my heart to rule.  help me to get wise about satan, to realize he plays on pride and tells me things i want to hear but really only makes matters worse.  FATHER, help me to grow closer to YOU, to make time in my schedule for time with YOU.  FATHER, i admit that many times i’ve put me first and i ask YOU to forgive me.  help me to become like JESUS, to have the attitude that HE had, to not only look after my own interest but the interest of those around me.  teach me to say, ‘THY will be done’  instead of me first.” 

if you've never invited JESUS CHRIST into your life, do it.  ask HIM to come in.

“LORD, thank YOU for YOUr word.  it’s practical and it helps us in the very area that we need it the most.  use this in our lives so we can have more peaceful relationships, less conflict, less strife, less arguing and more love, joy, and peace.  in JESUS name we pray, amen.

just a thought from the front porch…
