A Special Morning Prayer To Bless Your Day | Begin With God's Presence

first peter chapter 1 verse 22 to 25 and the bible reads since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the spirit in sincere love of the brethren love one another fervently with a pure heart having been born again not of corruptible seed but incorruptable through the word of god which lives and abides forever because all flesh is as grass and all the glory of man as the flower of the grass the grass withers and its flower falls away but the word of the lord endures forever now this is the word which by the gospel was preached to you the word of god endures forever all other earthly things will come and go all other earthly things may come but they will pass away however the bible clearly states that god's word should not be compared to these temporal earthly things because his word can stand the test of time so we as believers need to meditate on the word of god we ought to cherish his word we ought to love his word because his word is god himself he is revealed in his word and the message that i would like to give you today is one of encouragement i would like to encourage you to write the word of god memorize the word of god keep it hidden in the chambers of your heart it should be something that you hold on closely because the word of god is like a fire it can refine you of all impurities it refines impurities because second corinthians chapter 5 verse 17 says therefore if anyone is in christ the new creation has come and the old has gone the new is here the bible tells us in colossians chapter 3 verse 5 therefore put to death your members which are on the earth fornication uncleanliness passion evil desire covetousness which is idolatry you see the word of god refines you it instructs you about the standards that god expects us to have as his children furthermore his word is like a hammer because it destroys evil and builds and strengthens a godly character in your life the bible tells us in ephesians 5 verse 11 and 12 and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness but rather expose them for it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret and if you read psalm chapter 1 verse 1 and 2 the bible tells you blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly nor stands in the path of sinners nor sits in the seat of the scornful but his delight is in the law of the lord and in his law he meditates day and night from these short passages of scripture if you are to meditate on such verses if you are to dwell and build your life around the word of god which tells you to have no fellowship with the works of darkness nor to be found standing in the path of sinners these are the principles needed for you and i to maintain a godly character and to live a life that is pleasing to the lord in addition to this the word of god is like a lamp and a light that guides us and gives us direction in this world i say this because if you read ephesians chapter 5 verse 15 to 21 the bible says this be very careful then how you live not as unwise but as wise making the most of every opportunity because the days are evil therefore do not be foolish but understand what the lord's will is do not get drunk on wine which leads to debauchery instead be filled with the spirit speaking to one another with psalms hymns and songs from the spirit sing and make music from your heart to the lord always give thanks to god the father for everything in the name of our lord jesus christ and so with this understanding let us pray lord jesus help me to meditate on your word day and night help me to make it a habit to make it my routine to spend quality time in your word let the bible not just be another book to me but because your word says in second timothy chapter 3 verse 16 all scripture is given by inspiration of god and his profitable doctrine for a proof for correction for instruction in righteousness may your word teach me may it rebuke me correct me and train me in all things pertaining to righteousness in your kingdom lord i pray that the holy spirit would guide me through scripture so that i can begin to understand and to change because of your word as your children lord as we read your word may it cut through every thought and every attitude that stands against you or your will may your word pierce our minds and become rooted in our souls father god i pray that we would be reminded by the holy spirit in our hearts of your word each and every time that we are presented with a choice to do right or wrong may your word lord jesus hold us accountable train me to be a believer who can examine himself based off of your word help me to weigh my motives to weigh my actions and deeds against what your word says [Music] i believe lord that you have given us your word so that we as believers can have a reference so that we can be corrected so that we can know the ways of righteousness and know how to navigate through this life and above all lord as we read your word may we begin to know you to know you more and to know you intimately the bible tells us in john chapter 1 verse 1 in the beginning was the word and the word was with god and the word was god this means that your word has been there from the very beginning of time as we know it your word is living and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword piercing even to the division of soul and spirit and of joints and marrow and your word is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart i pray for a heart and ears that are receptive to your word king jesus just like a mirror may your word expose all of my blemishes against the true likeness of christ with the help of the holy spirit may your word be clear in showing me how i should be living as a born-again believer and just like food may your word provide nourishment to me man cannot live by bread alone but by every word that comes from god lord jesus together with everyone listening in agreement i pray that your word cleanses us may it wash over our lives may your word help us to renew our minds may your word always be with us hidden in our hearts i praise you for hearing this prayer and i glorify your name you alone are the king of kings and the lord of lords in the mighty name of jesus christ i pray amen [Music] [Music] you
