“When we feel like we are not good enough to be loved by God, we should remember that God’s love is greater than our doubts. We must silence the sounds of condemnation so we can hear the voice of God’s loving assurance and remember that He has selected us to be part of His family.”The Voice Commentary 1 John 3:2-3

Father God, forgive us for doubting You, for turning to our own human resource instead of fully facing You and depending on Your all in our everything. We have been led astray by the temptation that You are not enough and our doubts have corrupted the clarity of our way. We have gone our own way, led astray by doubt and have made a mess out of Your message. Change it up Lord Jesus, we look to You to transform us, creating in us clean hearts, purified by Your Holy Spirit.
Those adrift on their own wisdom shouldn’t assume the Lord will rescue them or bring them anything. The splinter of divided loyalty shatters your compass and leaves you dizzy and confused. James 1:7-8 The Voice
“The heart must be renewed by divine grace, or it will be in vain to seek for purity of life. He who attempts to build up a noble, virtuous character independent of the grace of Christ is building his house upon the shifting sand.” Ellen G. White
Now I’m returning to you. I’m saying these things in the world’s hearing so my people can experience My joy completed in them. I gave them your word; The godless world hated them because of it, because they didn’t join the world’s ways, just as I didn’t join the world’s ways. I’m not asking that you take them out of the world but that you guard them from the Evil One. They are no more defined by the world than I am defined by the world. Make them holy—consecrated—with the truth; Your word is consecrating truth. In the same way that you gave me a mission in the world, I give them a mission in the world. I’m consecrating myself for their sakes. So they’ll be truth-consecrated in their mission. Make them holy by your truth; teach them your word, which is truth. John 17:17-19 Message- NLT
“[Sanctification] is a process that includes on the one hand medication and diet (in the form of biblical instruction and admonition coming in various ways to the heart), and on the other hand tests and exercises (in the form of internal and external pressures, providentially ordered, to which we have to make active response). The process goes on as long as we are in the world, which is something that God decides in each case.” ― J.I. Packer

Lord Jesus, we hear Your heart and we respond likewise in prayer to our Father God: Purify us Father God, with Your Truth and shatter the darkness of doubt. Holy Spirit we pray You would strip the stronghold of fear, anxiety and unbelief from our souls and strengthen our spirit with the hope of Jesus, our Savior and Lord. We are His, as Jesus has espoused us for all eternity and there is no anticipation higher, expectation stronger or purpose more powerful than this. Help us to set our minds in Your powerful truth and set our lives apart wholly-holy for God. Jesus came to us, this is what He wanted, He pursued us wholeheartedly, coming to die our death that we deserved, so we might be able to live out of His life that we don’t deserve, but He graciously, without condition offered up for us.
My loved ones, we have been adopted into God’s family; and we are officially His children now. The full picture of our destiny is not yet clear, but we know this much: when Jesus appears, we will be like Him because we will see Him just as He is. All those who focus their hopes on Him and His coming seek to purify themselves just as He is pure. 1 John 3:2-3 The Voice
“My soul is like a house, small for you to enter, but I pray you to enlarge it. It is in ruins, but I ask you to remake it. It contains much that you will not be pleased to see: this I know and do not hide. But who is to rid it of these things? There is no one but you.”― Augustine of Hippo

Lord Jesus, You said if we needed wisdom to come to You, to ask for it and You would give it. I pray for all of us in this country for the wisdom and truth of God to saturate our souls and transform our spirits. You, Lord God have gifted us in incredible ways with talents and gifts beyond the measure of humanity and empowered us to be completely, wholly-holy Yours, purposefully authorizing our servant headship for this moment of time. Father God, increase our giftedness and talents of servant headship, for times such as these. We ask You, Holy Spirit, to thwart the cultural confusion of these days by the power of Your Living Truth and help us clearly see and navigate our lives for a time such as this, by the light of Your wisdom in the direction of Your Kingdom ways. You, Jesus are the Solution for the mess we have made with our humanity, we acknowledge we have fleshed out and strayed from You. Father God, we ask for Your “divine intervention” in this current situation of our nations, where we have opted for what is wrong and replaced what is right with false narrative and fake ways. We pray You direct our hearts and show us by Your power the value of followship of You. Teach us Holy Spirit, how to make crooked places straight and show us how to transform our perilous human mess into Your powerful message. Revive us Lord in Your Way, Truth and Life, In Your Powerful Name we pray Lord Jesus, Amen.

“Wake Up Bride Of Christ! Today, we pray Lord God, there would be less of us, less of our worldly viewpoint, less of what we want and more desire for You and Your Kingdom. This is a day where we make a mark in the sand of this world and we step over it, leaving our worldly comfort zone and our worldly viewpoint behind and committing afresh and anew to giving our lives to Your Kingdom first, living out of Your Kingdom perspective. Jesus, we desire to wake up to Your will, and die to our ways. Not our will, but Yours be done Father God, on earth as it is in heaven. Our hands are raised to You, Holy Spirit, surrendered and hoping to be shaped by You and our hearts are fully facing You, our will is wholly-holy yielded and our spirit is set apart unto the Kingdom of God. We put all our hope and expectation in You, Lord Jesus, lead us, we will diligently follow.” KimberlyMac
