Lord Jesus, I am humbling myself before You. Thank you so much for loving me. Thank you for your love for an imperfect person like me. I confess that I am a sinner, that if I continue living in sin, I will be separated from You forever because, as you said in the Scripture, the wages of sin is death. I’m asking for Your forgiveness for all my sins. I know I’ve made a million mistakes in my life, and God, I do not deserve Your forgiveness but thank You so much for giving me grace. Thank You for letting […]
“And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28 God lets us go through a series of brokenness in our life so we will know that He can be the source of our strength. We often do not understand His purpose for letting us go through this. Maybe He wants to change your heart first before He changes your situation. Or maybe God wants to use your life to bless others. It is also possible that He is directing you […]
“But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.” Galatians 5:16 Being filled with the Holy Spirit involves the willingness to obey God’s Word and the strength to yield in its guidance. It also involves discerning what is pleasing in God’s eyes and what is not. If we live each day being led by the Holy Spirit, we will gain wisdom, extend grace, and be able to resist temptations. However, being filled with the Holy Spirit doesn’t happen overnight. Certain disciplines must be practiced consistently every minute of our lives to be […]
Dear God, I praise and worship You, for You are my strength and reward, my Rock. You are my Heavenly Father who loves everything I am and all that I can be, despite my lapses and shortcomings. You are my God who loves me the same even if I fail you every day. Father Almighty, I am sorry for failing to trust in You every step of my life. Forgive me for the days when I do not feel like talking to You, for the days when I feel like taking control of my life because I feel like I […]
Lord Jesus, I have been in control of my life. I have not yet fully surrendered my life to You. There are still areas in my life that I haven’t given up yet. Please forgive me for this. Forgive me for failing to trust You. And because of this, I am easily worried, easily irritated, easily hurt, and easily broken. I realize now that You are indeed faithful in all ways. Thank You because I know that I serve a God who is a promise-keeper. Please remove every ounce of selfishness in my heart that always longs to be fulfilled. […]
Heavenly Father, I come to You today with all humility to admit that I need You in my life. I acknowledge that I have been looking for happiness in the wrong places. I am looking for others things that will fill the satisfaction in my heart. Because of all these, I am sinning against You. Forgive me, Lord, for there is discontentment in my life right now. Forgive me for not seeking after Your righteousness. I am sorry for always longing for more and more, that I fail to be grateful for the things you have blessed me with. I […]
Father, I am not okay. I feel empty, broken, and tired from overthinking too much. I admit that I have been fighting this battle alone. I try to control everything with my own power, and I always remove You from the equation. Please forgive me. I realize that I’ve never entrusted my past, present, and future to You. But today, I surrender everything to You. Thank You for reminding me that, indeed, You are my Father, and You are my healer. You are the God who cares for me, and it is Your desire for me to be healed emotionally. […]
“This, then, is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.'” Matthew 6:9-13 Prayer is our means of direct communication with God. We should not try to impress Him with our repetitive and memorized prayers. Instead, we must pray from the heart. Prayer is not supposed to be a duty or […]
