Heavenly Father, thank you for all things. Thank you for your Spirit that now lives in our hearts. Thank you, Lord, that I am your child and now am an heir.

Morning Scripture
“But then, indeed, when you did not know God, you served those which by nature are not gods. But now after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage?” Galatians 4:8-9 NKJV https://www.bible.com/114/gal.4.8-9.nkjv “Before you Gentiles knew God, you were slaves to so-called gods that do not even exist. So now that you know God (or should I say, now that God knows you), why do you want to go back again and become slaves once more to the weak and useless spiritual principles of this world?” Galatians 4:8-9 NLT https://www.bible.com/116/gal.4.8-9.nlt |
Morning Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for all things. Thank you, God, for the opportunity to know you. Thank you for reminding me that you know who I am. Guide me, Father, to you; help me to let go of behaviors and activity that separate me from your spirit. Give me strength to rely solely on you. In Jesus’ name we pray and praise you in advance. Amen. Just a little clarity - The Real Struggle

Morning Scripture
“Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.” Galatians 5:1 NKJV https://www.bible.com/114/gal.5.1.nkjv |
Morning Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for all things. Thank you, Lord, for every reminder that we are free in Christ. Remind us, Lord, that life will be full of opportunities that test our resolve, that challenges our patience, and erodes our trust. Thank you for reminding us this day, that we do not have to become entangled in the bondage of despair, hopelessness, hurt feelings, feelings of betrayal, or misunderstandings. Father, you are our source, always. As we stand fast, in faith, and in the liberty that is your Love, we ask that you heal our hearts, bind our wounds, grant us patience, clear our minds and hearts, then lead us to our next place in life and in You. In Jesus’ name we pray, release, and celebrate the next steps to come. Amen and thank God. |

Morning Scripture
I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.”Galatians 5:16-17 NKJV https://www.bible.com/114/gal.5.16-17.nkjv “So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves. The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions.” Galatians 5:16-17 NLT https://www.bible.com/116/gal.5.16-17.nlt |
Morning Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for all things. Thank you for your Spirit that guides our lives. Sharpen our spiritual hearing so that we may hear and feel your Holy Spirit as it guides us daily. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for warring against our fleshly desires, for holding our tongue and for unclenching our fists. Thank you for guiding us so that we can carry out good intentions and your plans for our lives. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen. |

Morning Scripture
“Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.” Galatians 5:19-21 NKJV https://www.bible.com/114/gal.5.19-21.nkjv “When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.” Galatians 5:19-21 NLT https://www.bible.com/116/gal.5.19-21.nlt |
Morning Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for all things - for identifying behaviors that we should be mindful of. Father, thank you for your Spirit that fills us, that alerts us when we are out of order, and that comforts us. Forgive us, Lord, when we have been and are out of order. We strive each day to move further away from these behaviors and embrace new life and attitudes that are pleasing to you. Help us, Lord. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen. One more... Father, search our hearts and show us our true selves. Help us to see these behaviors in ourselves, so that we may begin the process of healing, changing, and further connecting to you. Amen. |
