Dear God,
I praise You for being absolutely Holy, loving and merciful. Thanks for Your forgiveness and the promised rest and peace that comes through Jesus, as I give Him my burden/s. Having invited Jesus to take my heart, mind and will I am so glad I can lay my burdens down, believing that as His child, I am kept close in His care; by my own permission.
My Saviour I can almost hear You say, believe all my words, dear child and with them can only come the belief and trust for every occasion. How beautiful are the ways and words of God on high! John 1: 12 “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name.”
I am reading a new set of promises, about the sure result, of humbly preparing my heart and praying for more of an infilling of the Holy Spirit in my life, with the result of increasing my spiritual growth, leading to a changed character and the delight being Your servant by helping and blessing others. To grow more like Jesus in my heart and life, is my strong desire and active prayer and seeking. I was encouraged in my reading of scripture, that all Your words have inherent in them Your full authority and will always be ‘cashed’ when presented, Isaiah 55: 11. In every case these riches will gradually grow the continual seeker, into a living, growing child of God; full of His riches. 1 Peter 1: 3, 4 “His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceeding great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakes of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.”
God I have the assurance of the scriptures, when asking according to Your word and will, that You will always answer my needful request, 1 John 1: 15 “And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked Him.”
I exalt You my God,
Amen
