Today’s Verse:
"Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things." - Colossians 3:1-2
Prayer for Today :
Heavenly Father,
Thankyou for teaching us once again to turn away from our "fleshly mind" or "satiating to the full the flesh". This is in sync with Romans 6:4, which we said at our baptism ceremony "We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life."
Father, after baptism, our old lives are dead, which means that we are away from all sins such as inproper behaviours, bad temper, irritability, meanness, impurity, lust and "doing whatever we feel like whenever we feel like it", etc. We shoulld take up the life shaped by You, Lord.
"Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity." Col 3:12-14
Father, help us to put Your commands in practice.
In Christ's glorious Name we pray, Amen.
