CHALLENGE TAKEN from the pdf mentioned back here
Suggestion for today from there:
Day 36: Today’s prayer challenge. Read Matthew 7:1-4. Then glean the essence of those verses and pray to God about your life in application to those verses. This should truly be a powerful and revealing prayer time for you put your life up to God’s mirror and take a look.
Matthew 7:1-6
1 “Do not judge so that you will not be judged.
2 “For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you.
3 “Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
4 “Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ and behold, the log is in your own eye?
5 “You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.
6 “Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.
Joint Heirs With Christ
Father, I thank You for loving me. I have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear, but I receive the Spirit of adoption by whom I cry out, "Abba Father." The Spirit Himself bears witness with my spirit that I am a child of God, and if a child then an heir - heir of God and a joint heir with Christ, if indeed I suffer with Him, that I may also be glorified together with Him. Father, I love You because You first love me. Amen
The daily prayer is written by Germaine Copeland, author of the Prayers That Avail Much family book series.

Today's Blessing
Pray the Blessing:
Isaiah 60:1-3 Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD has risen upon you. For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but the LORD will arise upon you, and his glory will be seen upon you. And nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.
Declare your faith:
I believe and confess that all nations on earth will become the inheritance of Jesus Christ (Ps 2:8; Dan 7:14).
Day 34 | April 19, 2011
Revelation 7:9-12: After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. And they cried out in a loud voice:
"Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb."
All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying, "Amen! Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God forever and ever. Amen!"
How do the great multitude and the angels around the throne respond to the Lamb? Join in the throng and sing His praises.
Heavenly Father,
Thank You that as I do not judge others that I will not be judged. Praise to You that in the way I judge, I will be judged. Judgement belongs to You, yet Your mercies and grace abound. Thank You for the standard of measure by which I am measured. Thank You that Your measure exceeds ours and is greater as You are so merciful.
Keep me from looking at the speck or sin in others when I may have a log in mine. May I be ever so mindful of my own rather than theirs. I do not want to ever be a hypocrite. Take the log out of my own life and my own way of error and not checking out others.
I will not give what is holy to dogs, nor throw pearls before swine. Deliver me from evil and trampling "pearls" under my feet so that I will not be torn to pieces.
I so thank You for loving me and that I have the privilege to call You Abba Father. I love You because You first love me and I can never tell You enough how much I love You. Thank You for Your complete love that makes me whole! Your love heals me.
