Today’s Verse:
"Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you—unless, of course, you fail the test? " 2 Corinthians 13:5
Prayer for Today :
Heavenly Father,
Examine yourselves is Ἑαυτους πειραζετε.
Prove your own selves - Ἑαυτους δοκιμαζετε.
Awefully similar, isn't it?!
As Christians, we'll constantly need to put ourselves into the test, like the song "Search me, know me, Try me and see. Every worthless affection hidden in me. All I'm asking for is that You'd cleanse me, Lord". We should aim to be a righteous and loving Christian, at all times. If we cannot, we should ask God to cleanse us.
Father, You are the vine and we are the branches, if we remain obstinate and impenitent, we will eventually fall off and be separated from Christ. In Phil. 4:4-7 we’re promised that if we rejoice in all our circumstances and present our requests through prayer and petition to our Heavenly Father, He’ll provide a peace that transcends all understanding. So Father, if we cannot do that "rejoicing", please help us, encourage us, assist us, support us and rescue us from the troubles and unhappiness. Father, remind us to repent and renounce on our sins.
As it is repeatedly written in Lamentations 3:40 also "Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the LORD.", it showed the importance.
In Christ's glorious Name we pray, Amen.
