![]() Gracious Father, every good thing I have in my life has come because of you. In my joy and success, I need to learn to acknowledge him! When things are tough, I find it easy to call on God and lean on his mercy and grace. He's my ripcord Savior. But I must confess, when I'm reveling in his blessings and things are going well, I am so much like the Israelites and forget to acknowledge that all the blessings I have and all the opportunities I have received come because of his grace. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. You alone are my refuge and strength. I trust these confessions with you and ask that you strengthen me by the power of your Holy Spirit not to fall into these same traps again and again. In Jesus name I pray. Holy God, I have sinned and ask your forgiveness for. Father, I am afraid for others to know that I have. Loving Father and Holy God, today I want to confess to you several things on my heart. Hidden sin festers in our hearts and drives a wedge between us and the God who would forgive us and empower us to triumph over it if only we would pour out our hearts to him, because he is our refuge. But hidden sin is only hidden from us, not from our Father. We want to keep our secret failings, embarrassments, and sins hidden, fearing others would reject us and we would shame ourselves. It is so hard to share the secrets of our hearts with anyone. Trust in him at all times, O people pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge. ![]() Lead me to your wisdom and I pledge to you that I will not only seek to know it, but also seek to live it. I have so many plans and schemes, but I know if they are not from you, they will not stand. Keep his commands and obey him serve him and hold fast to him.Īlmighty God, teach me your ways and help me discern your paths for my life. It is the Lord your God you must follow, and him you must revere. I believe you are leading me to glory, so help me show and share that glory with those who do not know you as God, Savior, and King. Give me eyes to see and a voice to tell of your glorious deeds, your mighty works, and your answered promises. O Mighty God, I confess that I slip so easily into my day-to-day rut that I grow immune to the joy and excitement of your salvation. How can we remain silent? How can we remain bitter, pessimistic, or discouraged? The God who made the tomb empty and made the corpse our living Lord is our God and he is mighty to save. We are the people who anticipate his mighty deliverance yet to come. You are my witnesses," declares the Lord, "that I am God."ġ Peter 2 reminds us that we are here as witnesses to "declare the praises of him who has called us out of darkness into his marvelous light." We have seen and experienced God's saving work. I have revealed and saved and proclaimed – I, and not some foreign God among you. ![]() "I, even I, am the Lord, and apart from me there is no savior. ![]()
