Dear God,
It is a delight to read Your Word and commune with You. This comes after in rebellion of spirit this morning, I did not want to wake up early and spend extra time to write a special prayer for You. However I have been given a different spirit since then. Now in a more peaceful attitude, since I have received Your answer to my prayer for a change in attitude. I give praise to You, for I am the beneficiary of everlasting attentiveness to me from all in heaven. You, as God, know all about us, including our every thought and situation; in other words You know just where we are at, within and out. To my advantage, You work through Your Spirit, to give me the ability to not only perceive the trend of an attitude, but where the attitude is taking me. I am given the desire to choose to change and ask for Your Divine assistance. Your answer is assured for me and everyone else who asks, believing, because it has been promised by You. This is a wonderful thing Oh God, for I have found great hope and help in Ezekiel 36:25-27. I find in Verse 25 “….I will cleanse you from all Your filthiness and from all idols.” Continuing on from my being cleansed and my change, to further renewal as promised in Verse 26 “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you….” In Your transformation, my hard heart, comfortable in sin, is removed and replaced with a heart that is tender and receptive to Your love and leading. I want to give praise, oh merciful God, for You know in my earthly spirit I cannot even carry out my desire to be loving and obedient to You, therefore along with everyone who asks, Verse 26 “I will put My Spirit within you…….” to enable the keeping of Your requests and carefully abide by You laws.
From You we have received our very lives and everything else for our best good, to salvation by Your Righteousness, with the promise of eternal life, without being stalked by the devil enticing us to do wrong and be without help to change. Why therefore would I say no, to living Your way, in happiness with all the help I need? I do not yes to the devil, and today renew my commitment to You my God.
