Daily Devotion

Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out;
      you formed me in my mother's womb.
   I thank you, High God—you're breathtaking!
      Body and soul, I am marvelously made!
      I worship in adoration—what a creation!
   You know me inside and out,
      you know every bone in my body;
   You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit,
      how I was sculpted from nothing into something.
   Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth;
      all the stages of my life were spread out before you,
   The days of my life all prepared
      before I'd even lived one day.

Psalm 139: 13-16 TM

 

I do wish, brother, that I may have some benefit from you in the Lord; refresh my heart in Christ.  Confident of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I ask.

Philemon 1:20-21 TNIV

When You test my heart LORD, do You find complete faith in Your ways?

I believe, help my unbelief.

When You test my mind LORD, do You find complete trust in Your will?

I believe, help my unbelief.

When You test my spirit LORD, do You find complete obedience?

I believe, help my unbelief.

Sculpt my heart, mind and spirit to confidently pray Thy will be done.

I believe, help my unbelief.

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, I pray.  Amen

Each day the Daily Devotion scriptures, using various biblical versions, have been taken from the lectionary readings for the week followed with a brief prayer.  The bible tells us there is power in prayer.  Lets pray together.
