Time to Confess?

Time to Confess?

Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know they should confess a sin, but for some reason have not. In Jesus’ name, amen.

The words, “I am guilty,” do not come easily. Yet, when we approach a holy God, we are told to admit our wrongdoing. 

First John 1:9 (NLT) says, “But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.”

It may take a leap of faith to trust God with the outcome of our admission of guilt.

But why wait? Let God forgive!

Let me know below your reaction.

Getting Lazy?

Getting Lazy?

Lord, I pray you give wisdom to people who have become lazy. In Jesus’ name, amen.

I had to look it up, but the study of ants is “myrmecology.”

Proverbs 6:6 (NLT) says, “Take a lesson from the ants, you lazybones. Learn from their ways and become wise!”

What makes ants an example? They are consistent, work together, and can carry many times their weight. Go and do likewise. Study the ants.

Never Satisfied?

Never Satisfied?

Lord, I pray you give people wisdom about their level of satisfaction. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Hebrews 13:5 (NLT) says, “Don’t love money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said, ‘I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.’”

We pray for people who have allowed finances to become a source of conflict in their relationships.

Help people not to succumb to the temptation to be dissatisfied. Rather, help people to count their blessings one by one.

When the Lord says he will never fail us or abandon us, let us rejoice and be glad in it!

Need Wisdom?

Need Wisdom?

Lord, I pray for wisdom for anyone needing wisdom.

Some say, “Trust your gut.” Others will flip a coin. Some cannot decide.

James 1:5 (NIV) says, “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.”

Many take decision-making casually, while others do extensive research.

Some make snap decisions while others take forever to make up their minds.

Lack wisdom? Your research should start by checking the Scriptures. Ask God! That means in every area of your life!

Motorcycles and Bibles

“Give them each a Bible.”

Ever been low on gas in an unfamiliar area?

That is what happened to me a few years ago…

It was after 10:00 p.m. as I drove home after teaching a night class. I pulled into the gas station.

There were two bikers having a conversation.I needed to go inside, and I was going to have to walk by them.

They looked tough…

 

I had a few small New Testaments in my car.
When I heard the Lord say, “Give those men Bibles.”

I said, “Lord, those are bikers, it is dark, and I am alone.”

 

“Give them each a Bible.”

 

So, I mustered up my courage and walked over, “Would you men like to each have a Bible?”

As I reached out, they accepted them and said, “Thank you.”

I told them in the front they could find a list of verses to address most issues in life, and there was information in the back for them to read later.

Whenever I think of that night at the gas station, I pray for those men.

Are you ready for adventure? Be open to the leading of the Holy Spirit.

Under the Grip of Fear?

Under the Grip of Fear?

Lord, I pray for wisdom for anyone who is fearful. In Jesus’ name, amen.

2 Timothy 1:7 (ESV) says, “God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” Moreover, the Scripture says in James 4:8 (ESV), “Draw near to God and he will draw near to you”. When faced with fear, it is time to run to God.
