Dear Father God,

Thank You for this beautiful new day...

This is the day the LORD has made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalms 118:24

I come to You and humbly ask that You will create in me a clean heart, and please forgive me for my sins...

Create in me a clean heart, O God,
And renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Do not cast me away from Your presence,
And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of Your salvation,
And uphold me by Your generous Spirit.
Psalm 51:10-12

I need a clean heart and a steadfast spirit.

Father God, please breathe new life into my weary soul and replenish me...

For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.
Jeremiah 31:25

I want to experience the fullness of joy that Your salvation brings...

You will show me the path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
Psalms 16:11

May You be glorified in my life

throughout this day.

Let my life be a testimony to others, that they may see Your mercy and be drawn to You.

Thank You, O wonderful Father God.

In the strong name of Jesus,

my Lord and Savior, I pray,

Amen.

Jesus: The Word

In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
John 1:1

Jesus is called the Word because He expressed the true idea of the Father, just as a written word represents the ideas of an author. Jesus is also called the Word because He is the One who communicated the Father’s desires to the people, just as a written word communicates an author’s intent. Jesus is also the Word because He interprets the Father to the world, just as a human author interprets a theme to readers. Words are symbols of meaning, and Jesus is the symbol that showed the world what God was like in the flesh.

Jesus, I look to You to show me what God is like. I will study the Word of God to better understand God and know what He expects of me.

Jesus was the powerful Word who lived in the flesh. Jesus’ spoken words were also powerful, for His words raised the dead, calmed the storms and comforted the hurting. And the written Word of Christ is just as powerful as His spoken words. The written Word can save, heal, cast out demons and become the basis for answered prayer (Colossians 3:16; Hebrews 4:12). Jesus elevated His words to a supernatural level when He said, “The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life” (John 6:63). Peter agreed with Him: “You have the words of eternal life” (John 6:68).
