Today's Verse:
"As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit—just as it has taught you, remain in him. " - 1 John 2:27
Heavenly Father,
This is a new day of the Chinese New Year, a new start, a new beginning for us all.
Father, everyday there will be things that happen in our lives, not in our liking. Father, everyday, we will be worried, stressed and impacted by these "things". Father, help us, help us and help us, to focus our hearts and minds in You!
It is written in the gospel of John, Jesus said "You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me." John 15:3-4, which means "The truth of Christ, abiding in us, is a means to sever from sin, and unites us to the Son of God".
Therefore, Father, we must look upon You, to seek for Your greatness, power, and goodness. Father, grant us kindness, mercy, forbearance, grace, perseverance...so that we may serve one another, like Jesus Christ, who has served us.
Father, we love You and we cherish everyday You have granted us so far. As we look forward to the days to come, let us remember to count our blessings. Father, although, our lives may be tough right now, we should always rejoice in the Lord. As Glorie Abelhas expressed "Good fortune shies away from gloom. Keep your spirits up. Good things will come to you and you will come to good things."
In Christ's glorious Name we pray, Amen.
