A morning meditation prayer, before starting the day’s tasks —
To me again today, my need of increased faith is evident, and I believe it does not stop there, for because of His promise to grow it in me, I am assured He will do so, as I ask and grasp this promise, and by faith I take His word and take sure baby steps toward a closer vibrant relationship with Him, worthy of God Most Holy. It is assured to occur because I want it to be, and God always fulfills His word, in a seeking, willing, obedient person.
My heart is so sinful and self-focused, that hitherto I have not realised enough, my great need of genuine spirituality, and humility, in surrender to my Saviour of all I am and have. I have been unaware that for me subtly pride is present, and threatens to dim the face of Jesus and the reality implications of every one of His promises, when quietly claimed.
It is God who testifies in truth of His, my Saviour, and He is to be believed above all mankind. As I believe and live by the Word of God and not my own understanding, my trust in God has begun to grow.
1 John 5:10 “He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son.”
Proverbs 3: 5-7 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on Your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes;………..”
I desire to trust in the Lord today, for He lives in me. Therefore of Him I humbly ask.
