Today’s Verse:
I said to the LORD, "You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing." - Psalm 16:2
Prayer for Today :
Heavenly Father,
There is an idiom which says "There's no rose without a thorn." meaning "to enjoy any beautiful or pleasant thing, you must endure something difficult or painful." Father, is this really true? If we want to enjoy Your goodness, do we all need to enough perseverance and endurance within us?
Father, if we hold on to earthly values, we will be like someone who has a pain or condition that doesn't go away. Father, our hope is in You, we should never say "OK. I accept fate." or "I'll give in to what life is giving me." Father, the cure is probably to hold on to You, just like David, who always flee to Your protection, with cheerful and believing confidence. Father, You are the Lord of Lords and King of Kings, we trust that You have our needs in mind and You will only provide us with the best. Father, let us take comfort in Your promises and live our everyday lives with courage and assurance.
Father, as it is written in Isaiah 40:31 "but those who hope in the LORD, will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Although, we have no good thing other than in You, we will be strong and take heart, and have faith in You, O Lord.
In Christ's glorious Name we pray, Amen.
