Almighty God,
Thank you for another brand new day. I worship you for your great faithfulness towards me every day.
Father, I lift my life to you on this special day you gave me. I ask that you use my life to touch those around me.
I can see this from 2 Kings 5:14-17:
So Naaman went down and plunged into the Jordan seven times, according to the word of the man of God.
His flesh became again like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.
He returned with his whole retinue to the man of God. On his arrival, he stood before him and said,
“Now I know that there is no God in all the earth, except in Israel. Please accept a gift from your servant.”
Elisha replied, “As the Lord lives whom I serve, I will not take it.” And despite Naaman’s urging, he still refused.
Naaman said: “If you will not accept, please let me, your servant, have two mule-loads of earth,
for your servant will no longer make burnt offerings or sacrifices to any other god except the Lord.
Lord, I see that when you healed Naaman through Elisha, he began to worship You.
Therefore, I also ask that you empower me with grace to bless others with each chance I get.
Help me to cooperate with Your Holy Spirit when He leads me.
You also said in Psalms 98:1-4:
Sing a new song to the Lord, for he has done marvelous deeds. His right hand and holy arm have won the victory.
The Lord has made his victory known; has revealed his triumph in the sight of the nations,
He has remembered his mercy and faithfulness toward the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the victory of our God.
Shout with joy to the Lord, all the earth; break into song; sing praise.
Lord, these verses show me that you always seek to reveal your triumph for everyone to see.
So, I pray that you will use every circumstance in my life to demonstrate your love, victory, and mercy to the world.
You are the one speaking through the Apostle Paul in 2 Timothy 2:8-13, and you said
Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, a descendant of David: such is my gospel, for which I am suffering, even to the point of chains, like a criminal.
But the word of God is not chained. Therefore, I bear with everything for the sake of those who are chosen,
so that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, together with eternal glory.
This saying is trustworthy: If we have died with him we shall also live with him;
if we persevere we shall also reign with him. But if we deny him he will deny us. If we are unfaithful he remains faithful, for he cannot deny himself.
I am yours, Jesus. I know you are real, and I will never deny you, no matter what.
Thank you for answering this prayer and shining your light through me.
In Jesus’ name, I pray,
Amen.
