Heart for the Lord Day 4 by SGLY Ministry

CLEAN HEART
“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.” Psalm 51:10 (NKJV)

Today’s Thought:
David prayed that prayer after he had sinned against God. Why did he pray for a Clean Heart?
Because he knew that his sin had separated him from God and that God was the only One that could restore him back into a right relationship.
Because in God’s word it says:
…your sins have hidden His face from you.” Isaiah 59:2 (NKJV)

A Clean Heart allows God to see us because there is no sin blocking His view. When we are cleansed by the blood of Jesus, we are forgiven, made pure and given a Clean Heart that God can see and bless. He can then show us His way to live an abundant life, one that is pleasing to Him and joyful for us.

Prayer of the Heart to the Lord:
Dear Lord, today I ask that You create in me a Clean Heart so You can see me. I do not want any sin blocking Your view of me.
I want to have a heart that is clean and ready for You to fill with Your love and blessings.
I give thanks that Jesus came to wash my heart clean with His blood.(1 John 1:7)
I believe and receive that cleansing in my life today so I will have a Clean Heart that will shine for You for all eternity!

Don't Get Distracted

Thought for the Day

"Roadblocks will be thrown in your way to divert your attention from realizing your full life potential. Debts, health issues, relationship and job problems can all pile up to knock us off the path God has set for us to walk. Keep your eye on God and everything good He has placed in your life. Even if you can only find a sliver of light at the moment, grab onto it and don't get distracted from working towards everything that He has in store for you."

God remains the Rock on which we can stand

Matthew 24:35 'Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.'

- Have confidence in the Lord your God.
- Constant change is here to stay, but He remains the constant in our lives.
- While things come and go around us, He remains the Rock on which we can stand.
- Don't build your life on the sand, but build your life on the Rock - the constant One!

PRAYER: Lord, You are the constant in my life. Even when the storm try to throw me off course, I will keep my eyes on You for You are the constant in my life. Amen.

Kind Regards

But we are looking forward to the new heavens and new earth he has promised, a world filled with God's righteousness. (NLT) 2 Peter 3:13

Are you struggling through a difficult time right now? Your trials are not without a reason. God has promised a time to come where there will be no more pain. All of our baggage, sorrow and burdens will be gone. We can hold onto this knowledge while we work to increase our patience and endurance. While this may do little to ease your heart right now, it does give us joy to look forward to a time of peace.

I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.
— Psalm 34:4 (NIV)

Finding Hope in Brokenness - by Joyce Meyer

Is anything broken in your life—perhaps your marriage, a relationship with a child, your finances, your health, or your self-image? God is a God of restoration, which means He can take anything broken and make it like new.

It is never too late for God to work in your life. All you need to do is ask Him to do it and be willing to follow His guidance and direction. God said through Jeremiah, But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds…because you are called an outcast, Zion for whom no one cares (Jeremiah 30:17 NIV).

God can take the broken pieces of our lives and make something amazing out of them if we will give Him a chance to do so. I encourage you to turn over to God anything that is broken and be filled with hope, for He surely is a God of restoration.

Prayer of the Day: Father, thank You that You restore things in my life that are broken. I’m glad it is not too late for You to work in my life and make things like new, amen.

For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. – James 1:3 (NLT)

You’ve probably already noticed, how it’s easy to have a good attitude when everything is going well. The real challenge is having a good attitude when things are tough.

Today’s Bible verse shows us something really interesting about trials. It says that when your faith is tested, you are provided with an opportunity to grow.
Today’s Truth: You grow the most in the test.

So when you’re faced with a difficult situation, you can know that it is a time when you can grow in your faith. You can use the difficulty to learn and grow closer to God. As you do, you’ll find that it’s easier to keep a good attitude.

So if you’re facing something really tough right now, lean into God. Let this time be a time to strengthen your faith. And come through the trial having grown stronger in your relationship with God.

Prayers

Prayer for the Morning

Good morning, dear Father; thank you for this day,
Help me to follow you in every way.
Let me speak as you speak, and do as you do;
Let me help others, as you help them, too.

Help me to be honest, don't let me play games,
Help me to grow, yet still stay the same.
Help me not to be selfish, to give of my heart, my mind and my labor;
Give all - not just part.

Help me to love others, my family, my friends,
Bless all of my foes, help me make amends.
Help me be kind, Father, where I am needed, let
Me give warm attention, and see all needs are met.

Help keep me busy, to strive for the best,
Help me not to be lazy, but find needed rest.
Let me come to you, Father, throughout the day,
Often to thank you, often to pray.
Amen.
Meditation

[Help me keep busy, to strive for the best.]

Prayer to Witness Boldly

O Holy One, I call to you and name you as eternal, ever-present, almighty, and boundless in love. Yet there are times, O God, when I fail to recognize you in the everyday routine of my life. There are times timidity clenches my heart and I hide my faith from the world and even from myself. Sometimes fear makes me so small that I miss a chance to express my belief. Doubts and insecurity suppress the wonderful wisdom I have learned, from your holy word, from listening to your teachers, and from the quiet voice of the Holy Spirit.

Heavenly Father, in the daily round from sunrise to sunset and to sunrise again, remind me again and again of your holy presence hovering near me and in me. Free me from shame and self-doubt in expressing my faith. Help me to see you in the fleeting moments of possibility and be filled with your courage and your word. In Christ's name I pray, Amen.

Blessing

May God the Father bless us; may Christ take care of us; the Holy Ghost enlighten us all the days of our life. The Lord be our defender and keeper of body and soul, both now and for ever, to the ages of ages. Amen.

by Æthelwold, Bishop of Winchester, 958 A.D.

*****

Holy Spirit, I ask you to perfect the fruit of my lips giving praise. Thank you for this mighty weapon of praise, which stops and stills the enemy. I am joyful in the Salvation of my Lord. I greatly rejoice in your strength, O LORD; and in your salvation! You have given me my heart’s desire, and have not withheld the request of my lips. You meet me with the blessings of goodness…you give me life and length of days. You have made me exceedingly glad with your presence. Be exalted, O LORD, in your own strength! Amen

*****

Dear Lord, so much of my suffering is brought about by my being out of harmony with Your will, but there is a quantity of suffering which is necessary for my spiritual growth. ... Oh Lord, remind me that even then, You are in the midst of it, sufficient for my strength, and that the beauty of the morning can be appreciated because of the darkness of the night. ... Sorrow is ever making channels for joy! Let me learn to praise You always.

In Jesus name I pray.

Amen.

Dear heavenly Father, thank you for loving us. Lord, You loved us even when we were unlovely. I am ever grateful for Your love. Fill me today with Your love so that I can be like You and love the unlovely and be kind to everyone, including the wicked. Lord, You love everyone, as You send Your rain on the unjust, as well as the just. Help me to love those who touch my life that are not always kind to me. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit so that my character does not change when people come against me. I truly want to be able to bless my enemies and do good to them. I know I can only do this through allowing Your love to come through me. I ask this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
