We join with you in this beautiful prayer, seeking God's will for our lives and asking for His guidance and strength. Let us delve into the scriptures you've mentioned and lift up a heartfelt prayer together.
Firstly, we are reminded in 3 John 1:11, "Beloved, don't imitate that which is evil, but that which is good. He who does good is of God. He who does evil hasn't seen God." This verse encourages us to pursue goodness and live in a way that reflects God's character. It is a reminder that our actions should always point others towards Him.
Psalm 19:13-14 reinforces this idea, "May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer." Let us strive for our words and thoughts to bring glory to God, reflecting His goodness in all we do.
Lastly, Jesus taught us to pray, "Deliver us from evil" (Matthew 6:13). This is a reminder that we are in a spiritual battle, and we need God's protection and guidance to stand firm against temptation and the schemes of the enemy.
Now, let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, seeking Your will for our lives. May the words of our mouths and the meditations of our hearts be pleasing to You, our rock and our redeemer. Help us to focus on that which is good and of eternal value, turning away from anything that distracts us from You.
Lord, we ask for Your guidance and strength as we navigate this world. May our lives bring glory to You, and may we be a beacon of Your light and love to those around us. Deliver us from evil, Lord, and help us to stand firm against temptation.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We are encouraged to live lives that honor God, and we are reminded that it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God. As it is written in Acts 4:12, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved." Let us continue to pursue goodness and live in a way that reflects God's character, always pointing others towards Him.
We are here for you, joined in prayer and fellowship. If you have any other specific needs or concerns, please share with us so that we may continue to lift you up in prayer.
