Today’s Verse:
"Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our 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. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart." - Hebrews 12:2-3
Prayer for Today :
Heavenly Father,
Sometimes, we spend so much time, focusing on our own problems, our misery or our misfortune. Yet, if we spend just a few minutes away from ourselves and look at the world created by God for us, we will easily find so much to cherish - Nature, say the sun, wind, rain, cloud, sky, eagles, birds, butterflies, worms, grass, flowers, lilies, pets, fishes.... Like the hymn we always sing at church "All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful: The Lord God made them all".
Father, when we feel demotivated of any kind, we should be fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith. When we think weary and faint in our minds, we should think what Jesus has suffered for us, to save us from eternal misery. Because through him, our sins are being forgiven, through him, we are saved and most important of all, through him, we are united with You once again, Almighty Father.
What are our little trials as compared to his agonies?
Father, we Thank You for the guidance You give us everyday, every hour, every minute and second of our lives. We cannot accomplish anything without Your strength, Your love and support. God, may we choose to spend our lives to love You, trust You, honour You, serve You and obey You, for it is written "Obey me, and I will be your God and you will be my people. Walk in all the ways I command you, that it may go well with you."
In Jesus’ Name we pray, Amen.
