This day meditation and prayer

2 Corinthians 3:3 You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.

God knows the state of your heart at all times. The testimony of Christ working in your life is written upon your heart. When God sees you, His eyes gaze upon your heart. When God talks to you, He sends His message within your heart. God does not care about how you look on the outside. God cares about how you carry His words and love within your heart. It is through your heart others come to know Him. To be right in your heart with Christ is the greatest way to be near God. Uprightness in your heart is the best way to show others the way to Christ. When you hurt, take your heart to God. When you hurt, He will touch your heart and His touch will be seen by others.. When you are full of thanksgiving, take your heart to God. In your thanksgiving, He will touch you and rejoice with you. When you are in despair, take your heart to God. He will lift your heart up. Then others will see His touch upon you.

Let us pray :

My Lord and Saviour Jesus ,
Most Merciful God Almighty Father
Truly Awesome And Ever-present Holy Spirit…
Give me a clear mind and an open heart to see you and know You.
Give me a clear mind and an open heart to take in Your love.
Bestow upon me a quiet humility.
Let me never be proud or arrogant.
Let me own up to my failings and mistakes
In Your Love and in Your Grace, may my faith be everlasting.
In Your Love and in Your Grace, may I always stand secure in knowing You love me and You gave Your life for me.
All these things I humbly pray in the name of my most Blessed Lord Jesus Christ, my Mighty God, and my Ever-present Holy Spirit upon whom I can rely.
Amen

Daily meditation and prayer

Mark 6:34
When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things. (NIV)

We are all fallible. We all make mistakes. We all experience the trials of falling down. After falling down, we sometimes we have a difficult time recovering. We all get lost. Even if we are afraid to venture out, we can still get lost in our fear and anxiety. No matter how invincible we might think we are, eventually we become like sheep without a shepherd. Jesus is portrayed many ways to us in the New Testament. In the verse above, He is shown to us to be a teacher with great compassion for us. Jesus not only has great compassion for us, He also wants us to learn from Him. In everyday life, this means we should learn from the Bible and apply its truth. If we are open and trusting, we can learn His ways and receive His blessings

Let us pray :

Most Precious Lord Jesus, Gentle And Wonderful God, Truly Awesome And Ever-present Holy Spirit,
Precious Lord Jesus, I love you.
You are my Lord, in you I have peace.
You are my Shepherd and I am one of your flock.
When I was without hope, you gave me eternal life.
When I turned to my own way, you called my name and saved me from falling down into the eternal abyss.
When I was injured, because you love me, you bound up my wounds and healed me.
When I was weak, you strengthened me.
In your love, because of you, I shall have eternal life and never die.
In your love, I no longer want.
In your love, you lead me to lie down in green pastures.
In your love, you lead me to drink from still waters.
In your love, you lead me in the paths of righteousness for your names sake.
In your love, you restore my soul.
Now I live in the shadow of the most high where there is no shadow.
Now I live in the shadow of your cross where there is no shadow.
Thank you, Precious Lord Jesus.
All these things I humbly pray in the name of my most Blessed Lord Jesus Christ, my Mighty God, and my Ever-present Holy Spirit upon whom I can rely.
Amen
