My Morning Prayer: A Prayer of Character

My Morning Prayer: A Prayer of Character
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

Promise
I pray that your love will overflow more and more, and that you will keep on growing in knowledge and understanding. For I want you to understand what really matters, so that you may live pure and blameless lives until the day of Christ’s return. May you always be filled with the fruit of your salvation—the righteous character produced in your life by Jesus Christ—for this will bring much glory and praise to God. Philippians 1:9-11 (NLT)

Prayer
Father, bless my children and make them a blessing. May Christ be formed in them. As their Potter, shape and mold their character and use them where You place them. I know that all You make is beautiful!

Help them to know how to follow You so that they will know how to lead others; help them to know how to give freely so that they will know how to prosper in the true riches of Your kingdom; help them to know how to yield to Your will so that they will know how to stand strong in Your grace and sufficiency.

May they be wise students, good workers, supportive team members, and loyal companions. Help them live productive and fruitful lives.

Teach them to walk as You walked and to honor their Father in Heaven as You honored Him when You walked upon the earth. May their days be long, may their hearts be full, may their lives be enriched, and may their blessings be abundant.

Fret-Free Friday: A Proclamation of Hope

Fret-Free Friday: A Proclamation of Hope
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

A Proclamation of Hope

[We] rejoice in hope of the glory of God (Romans 5:2).

God, You are glorious! Because of who You are, I have hope in what You've promised to do. My future truly is as bright as the light on Your face that reflects it, as sure as the words upon Your lips that proclaim it, as powerful as the strength of Your right hand that performs to bring it about.

I am confident there are desirable things ahead because You are good. There are perfect things ahead because You are without fault. There are abundant things ahead because You are generous. There are undefiled things ahead because You are holy. There are amazing things ahead because You are wondrous. There are huge things ahead because Your heart is so big.

Part 40: Knowing His Best...Walking in Rest!

Part 40: Knowing His Best...Walking in Rest!
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

Knowing His Best...

For you shall not go out in haste, and you shall not go in flight, for the LORD will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your rear guard. Isaiah 52:12 ESV

Walking in Rest!
You can rest in knowing that God is always ahead of you and always prepares things before He has you walk in them. He made all things before He made you...He loved you before you gave your heart to Him...He came to you before you searched for Him...He possessed all things before you had a need...He knew all things before you had a question...He finished His work of redemption before He began His work in you...He promised never to leave you before He asked you to go...He declared His victory before He asked you to turn everything over to Him.

My Morning Prayer: Foundations

My Morning Prayer: Foundations

Promise
Exult in His holy name; rejoice, you who worship the LORD. Search for the LORD and for His strength; continually seek Him. Remember the wonders He has performed, His miracles, and the rulings He has given. Psalm 105:3-5 (NLT)

Prayer
Lord, as my children grow, I ask that they will never outgrow their pursuit of Your will, their desire for Your ways, their hunger for Your word, their dependency on Your strength, and their need for Your grace. May the spiritual foundations that are established in their hearts when they are young, help them as they grow, to build strong lives of faith and obedience; hope and trust; righteousness and freedom; love and compassion.

May they remember everything You do for them, everything You have provided for them, everything You have taught them, and everything You have done to bless them.

Bless them, Lord, with good memories, keen understanding, sweet remembrances, sound minds, and practical understanding.

May we all cherish, with full hearts, all Christ has done for us—for the blood that was shed, for the forgiveness that was extended, for the salvation that was provided, and for the love that was freely given.

Fret-Free Friday: God's Promises

Fret-Free Friday: God's Promises
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

God's Promises
You can trust God's promises absolutely!

• He will never forget a promise He's made. (God knows all things.)
• He will never promise more than He is able to do. (With God, nothing is impossible.)
• He will never promise something He has no intention of doing. (God can't and won't lie.)
• He will never fail to fulfill a promise because of distractions. (With God there is no shadow of turning.)

Thinking "What will happen to me?" can move you away from God's grace by opening the door for your imagination to fill in the blanks with fear and worry.

You need grace for each issue you face. God is the source of all the grace you need, and He will not skimp or hold back any portion you need for today's journey. Tomorrow's grace will be yours tomorrow, and it also will be more than sufficient.

God is able to make all grace abound toward you. -2 Corinthians 9:8
