LORD, I seek you with my whole heart, and desire to walk in your ways. I praise you today with uprightness of heart. With my whole heart I seek you; do not let me wander from your commandments! Your word I have hidden in my heart that I might not sin against you. Blessed are you, O LORD! Teach me your statues, in the name of Jesus, I pray.

You are my confidence and hope. I know that in the morning you hear my voice, O Lord; in the morning I prepare [a prayer, a sacrifice] for you and watch and wait [for you to speak to my heart].

I fix my eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of my faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

PRAYER:
O my Lord...Daily Prayer for June 15, 2012<br /><br />PRAYER:<br /><br />O my Lord, you are my Shepherd, and I have everything I need. You are ever true to Your Word, you let me catch my breath and send me in the right direction. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. Your goodness and unfailing kindness shall be with me all of my life, and afterwards I will live with You forever in your home. Amen<br /><br />Scripture Reading<br />Psalm 23<br /><br />Daily Prayer for June 14<br /><br />PRAYER:<br /><br />Heavenly Father, may my prayer be set before you like incense; may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening sacrifice. Thank you for the Holy Spirit who helps me maintain an attitude of prayer, and even helps me when I don’t know how or what to pray. Thank you for hearing me whether I’m praying aloud or reaching out to you in silence. Jesus, you are my example in prayer, and whatever I ask for in prayer, I believe that it is granted me, and I will receive it. In the name of Jesus and with the help of the Holy Spirit, I will pray without ceasing. Amen<br /><br />Scripture Reading<br />Psalm 141:2 (NIV)<br />Mark 11:24 (AMP)<br />1 Thessalonians 5:17<br /><br />Daily Prayer for June 13, 2012<br /><br />Salvation<br /><br />PRAYER:<br /><br />Heavenly Father, understanding the present time, I have awakened from my slumber, because my salvation is nearer now than when I first believed. So I put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let me behave decently, as in the daytime. I clothe myself with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature. I bind compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience to myself–writing them on the tablets of my heart in the name of Jesus. Amen.<br /><br />Scripture Reading:<br />Romans 13:11-14 (NIV)<br />Col. 3:12 (NIV)<br /><br />Daily Prayer for June 12<br /><br />Godly Wisdom<br /><br />PRAYER:<br /><br />Father, there isn’t a challenge I will ever face that will be too hard for You to solve. Nothing can outsmart You. The world’s wisdom is foolishness in Your sight. Your wisdom is increasing in me as I meditate on Your Word. It leads, guides and protects me. It gives me greater insight and credentials than the world has to offer. You have said in Your Word that the person who gets wisdom loves his own soul. I cherish understanding and I will prosper for your glory. Hallelujah! Amen.<br /><br />Scripture Reading<br />Jeremiah 32:27<br />1 Corinthians 3:19Germaine Copelandnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017173788066773066.post-68703860401282350992012-06-02T11:28:15.683-05:002012-06-02T11:28:15.683-05:00Affirmation of My Desire
It was a beautiful Sunday...Affirmation of My Desire<br />It was a beautiful Sunday in Christiansburg, Virginia when I had the opportunity to visit a morning church service. Pastor Rob Sowell gave an illustration of being controlled by the Holy Spirit. He talked about how you can carry a cup half filled with coffee rather carelessly, but if the cup is filled to the brim you are mindful of how you walk. Filling your mind with the Word will change the way you think, talk and walk. The more I have studied and meditated on the Word of God, the more alert I have become to my desires; some intensified while others were replaced. As you work out your salvation, God effectually works in you [energizing and creating in you the power and desire], both to will and to work for His good pleasure and satisfaction and delight. Choose to affirm God�s Word every day�be filled with the Holy Spirit.<br /><br />PRAYER:<br />My desire is to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings. Indeed, I have been crucified with Christ. My ego is no longer central. It is no longer important that I appear righteous before others or have their good opinion, and I am no longer driven to impress God. Christ lives in me. The life you see me living is not "mine," but it is lived by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Amen<br />Scripture Reading: Philip. 3:10 (NIV) Galatians 2:20 (Message)Germaine Copeland's Daily Prayernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017173788066773066.post-45397203903973082882012-06-01T13:08:18.220-05:002012-06-01T13:08:18.220-05:00Promotion
Edward had devoted 35 years of his life...Promotion <br />Edward had devoted 35 years of his life to a southern utility company, and intended to stay there until his retirement. His good reputation became known throughout the organization after he was promoted to management; his diligence and hard work had been rewarded many times. In spite of his excellent work record the promotions stopped, while others with less experience were advancing. He rejoiced with them when they received promotions for which he was better qualified. Rather than becoming bitter, he remained loyal, even helping those who had once worked for him. Another promotion did come but not in the manner he expected. He was offered a position with a another company that far exceeded his expectations. The promotion had come from the north. Promotion may not come when you want it to, but it will come if you remain faithful.<br /><br />PRAYER:<br />Heavenly Father, according to your Word promotion comes neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. God, you are the judge: you put down one person, and set up another. I�m content to be myself so that I will become more than myself. I choose being humble and reverent toward you, Lord, and you will make me both wise and honored in the name of Jesus. I write mercy and truth upon the tablets of my heart, and you cause me to find favor with God and with man. Thank you for my promotion that comes from the north at your bidding that I might fulfill my destiny. Amen.<br />Scripture Reading: Psalm 75:6-7Luke 14:11 (Message) Proverbs 15:33 (Living)<br /><br />The daily prayer is written by GermaGermaine Copeland's Daily Prayernoreply@blogger.com
