Abba Father, I look to You this morning and spiritually lift You up. I give You all the adoration, glory, honour, praise and give thanks for Your tender mercies. I worship You in both spirit and truth. Forgive me of my sins of thoughts, words and deeds and put within me the ability to forgive those who have sinned against me.
Today, as I meditate on Your Word, my Manual for life, I ask that You open my heart, mind, soul and my spirit. May every word, story, phrase and situation I come across, be ingested and digested, so I will be able to recall and use the appropriate salve for myself and others I may converse with. Fill me up with Your Word to an overflow, by Your Spirit, so I will have the wisdom and understanding that is needed to do Your will. Remove all fear of not being able to retain information or to recall, because Your Holy Spirit will step in whenever required. I pray for all those who are young in age but also young in spirit. May they cling to Your Word and find You revealed to them in a real and undeniable way. May they hear as You call, and may You be audible to those who need to hear Your voice. May they find You as a place of rest, rather than seek comfort from the world.
8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall read [and meditate on] it day and night, so that you may be careful to do [everything] in accordance with all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will be successful.
9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not be terrified or dismayed (intimidated), for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
Joshua 1:8-9 (AMP)
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:28 (KJV)
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
Matthew 19:14 (NIV)
20 Now may the God of peace [Who is the Author and the Giver of peace], Who brought again from among the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, by the blood [that sealed, ratified] the everlasting agreement (covenant, testament),
21 Strengthen (complete, perfect) and make you what you ought to be and equip you with everything good that you may carry out His will; [while He Himself] works in you and accomplishes that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ (the Messiah); to Whom be the glory forever and ever (to the ages of the ages).
Amen (So be it)
Hebrews 13:29-21 (AMP)
