Today’s Verse:
"Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain." - 1 Corinthians 15:58

Prayer for Today :

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thankyou for this word of encouragement.

For years, we have built up all sorts of habits, good or bad. From our childhood, we learnt that we should brush our teeth twice everyday, we learnt that we should flush the toilet after use, we learnt that we should be polite, we learnt that we should go to church every Sunday and confess our sins...Still, we picked up some lousy and naughty routines on our way.

Lord, free us from these terrible additions, the strongholds in our lives. Grant us the strength to admit to our limitations, grant us the wisdom to figure out "evacuation" plans, grant us the endurance to carry out such plans, grant us determination to stay away from any temptation and grant us victory to win over our strongholds in Your glory.

Lord, we are also called to love our neighbours as ourselves. Help us to stand firm to our faith, so that we may spread Your words and encourage the people around us. Help us to learn to abide in Jesus so that His life can flow through us (John 15:7 KJV), so that through us, the people around us may be inspired.

Lord, nurture us, guide us and teach us how to live our lives for You, how to be good christians.

In Jesus' precious name, we pray. Amen.
