Heavenly Father, thank You for Your words of wisdom, warning, encouragement, and exhortation in the Scriptures. I pray that I may take to heart all that You would teach me. Keep me from prideful ways and I pray that in Christ, I may grow in grace and humility of heart - and that my life becomes a reflection of the character of Christ to Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Thank You, Father, for Your many beautiful promises of ‘contrast’. I begin to understand, more and more, that there is nothing in life that should cause me to fear, for You have promised to be with me in every circumstance of life and Your grace is sufficient to counter every fear in my heart. Keep me looking to Jesus and trusting in His precious promises. I pray that on those occasions when doubts and fear arise within, that Your Spirit will prompt me to turn my thoughts away from fear and onto You. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
