| Spiritual Readings P-O-W-E-R Excite: Day 22 by SGLY Ministry Today’s Scripture: And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, Hebrews 10:24 NKJV Today’s Thought: Excite means to rouse or stir up, awaken or stimulate. As believers we should be thinking daily about ways we can stir up love and good works in each other. We should be working together to awaken our gifts in the Spirit. We should be stimulating one another into action so that all of us can work together to bring God glory. Today’s Prayer: Dear God, I really am excited to be Your child, and I really want to walk in the power of Your Holy Spirit daily. Help me to know when and how to consider my brothers and sisters in the faith in order to stir up love and good works for Your glory. I know that You have prepared good works for all of us to do, God, therefore, I pray that You will show me how I might be a part of helping others to come to know this also. I pray that I, and my brothers and sisters in the faith, will “stir up the gift of God” (2 Timothy 1:6) which is in all of us in order that we might all bring glory to Your name Father God. Today’s Action: Excite: God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another. 1 Peter 4:10 Click here for more Daily Spiritual Meditations |

| Prayers A Prayer of St. Basil the Great I bless you, O God most high and Lord of mercies, who forever works great and mysterious deeds for me, glorious, wonderful, and numberless; who provides me with sleep as a rest from my infirmities and as a repose for my body tired by labor. I thank you that you have not destroyed me in my transgressions, but in your love toward mankind you have raised me up, as I lay in despair, that I may glorify your majesty. I entreat your infinite goodness, enlighten the eyes of my understanding and raise up my mind from the heavy sleep of indolence; open my mouth and fill it with your praise, that I may unceasingly sing and confess you, who is God glorified in all and by all, the eternal Father, the only-begotten Son, and the all-holy and good and life-giving Spirit: now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen. ***** Now the God of patience and consolation grant to me, and to all who pray in the name of Christ, to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: That we may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. ***** Almighty God, I would have thy counsel as I read the words and follow the deeds of helpful lives, that I may be inspired to nobler activities. Give me the desire to know more of thy holy word, that I may have a better knowledge of life. Amen. ***** God our Father, you call each of us by name, and you treasure each of us individually as though no-one else exists. Inspire us to respect and value each person who comes into our lives this day. Amen. ***** Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and l will give you rest. Matthew 11:28, RSV Dear Father in heaven, grant us the inner quiet we need so that we may come into your presence and hear you speak, forgetting all the things that try to force themselves upon us. May we experience your true and living support. Keep our hearts glad and thankful for everything, even in grief, anxiety, and suffering. In this thankfulness we can remain with you, and Jesus Christ can help us, Jesus, whom you have given as our support and helper in all that most deeply concerns us. We entrust ourselves to you. Keep us in your Spirit. Amen. ***** Lord, we ask You for wisdom and harmony in our financial life. We choose to serve You, God. Forgive us when we have been selfish, when we’ve gone to extremes of spending or hoarding. Heal us when we need restoration in our finances. Help us not to argue, but to learn better ways to communicate—to be honest and to seek to understand the other person’s perspective even when we may not agree. We thank You for the ways You have provided and for Your amazing answers to prayer! Source: From Power Prayers for Women by Jackie M. Johnson ***** Dearest Father, I am grateful that You are a God of order and of wisdom. Show me Your order in my every day affairs. I need my life and my ways ordered of You. Lord, I live in a time where there is so much busyness and hurry-hurry, let me not get caught up in the rush of our society. Slow me down, and show me my priorities. Let me do the things that are important to You. Let me not leave the important things of prayer and the study of Your Word undone. Forgive me when I neglect these things, because I have run out of time and strength that was given to less important things. I know if I put the things of God first, then I will have time for all the really important things in my life. Help me work on "being" like You, instead of just busy "doing" things for You. I do ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen. |
