| Spiritual Readings Attitude of Gratitude – Day 20 by SGLY Ministry I AM GRATEFUL FOR… MY CIRCUMSTANCES give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:18[NKJV] An Attitude of Gratitude Thought and Prayer: Dear God, even though I feel my circumstances are not the best right now I will choose to give You thanks for them. I will choose to be obedient to Your word and believe that my current circumstances are Your will for me at this time. I will focus on giving You thanks and praise for all things, and by doing that I will not be grumbling, complaining or thinking negatively. How can I possibly do this if… according to my understanding…my circumstances are less than ideal? I will lean not on my own understanding, but in all my ways acknowledge You, God, and trust in You according to Proverbs 3:5. I will trust in You to work all things together for good in my life according to Romans 8:28. I will believe that, what the enemy may have meant for harm in my life, You, God, allowed, to somehow accomplish good for me, according to Genesis 50:20. I believe You, God, will fulfill Your plan and purpose for me according to Psalm 138:8. I can remain positive by thinking, saying and doing all this for: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13 …for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation,… Philippians 4:11-12 Click here for more Daily Spiritual Meditations |

| Prayers For Those in Need of Strength I pray, Lord, for all who will need strength and courage in the day ahead: For those who face danger. For those who risk themselves for others. For those who must make an important decision today. For people who are seriously ill. For those facing persecution or torture. I ask you, Lord, to give them the power of your Spirit, Amen. ***** O good shepherd, seek me out, and bring me home to your fold again. Deal favorably with me according to your good pleasure, until I may dwell in your house all the days of my life, and praise your forever and ever with them that are there. Amen. from a prayer of St. Jerome, 408 A.D. ***** Speak Words of Kindness The law of kindness is in my mouth, and I purpose to speak words of wisdom. I realize that the words that I speak contain the power of life and death, and in the name of Jesus, I loose from myself an attitude of sarcasm, and bind to myself an attitude of kindness. I bind mercy and truth about my neck, and write them upon the table of my heart. When my words instigate anger, forgive me and help me correct my speech. When an angry person challenges me, help me remember that a soft answer turns away wrath. In the name of Jesus. Amen. Proverbs 31:26; 28:21; Matthew 18:18; Proverbs 3:3; Proverbs 15:1 ***** Dear Lord Jesus, let us re-read yesterday's prayer, and help us to make important the things You consider important in our lives -- the attitudes of our hearts. Let us seek to exhibit the fruit of the Holy Spirit, which can only be developed when we stay attached to You, the "vine,"* for without You we can do nothing. In Your holy name we pray. Amen. * (See John 15:5) © 2001 by D. L.

Heighten our awareness, deepen our understanding, and extend our horizons that we may have respect for all that is around us and discover your kingdom deep within us. Amen ***** “A Prayer For Seeing The Big Picture” Father, there is much that we can learn from our temporal problems here on earth that better prepares us for eternity. As we work through these troubles, they enable us to have the mind of Christ so that attitudes reflecting the fruit of the Spirit become a spontaneous response to the difficulties that challenge us daily. Just as light, soil, air and moisture are requirements for growth in vegetation so must faith, prayer, self-denial and persistence in obeying God’s Holy Word be requirements for growth in our Christian walk. Help us not to become so caught up in viewing our daily challenges from an earthly perspective that we lose the view of our future home in heaven following the storms we weather here below. We stand in the strength of the Lord Jesus and in the power of His might. Amen. ***** Lord, my strength and my fortress, my refuge in time of distress, to you the nations will come from the ends of the earth and say, "Our ancestors possessed nothing but false gods, worthless idols that did them no good." Jeremiah 16:19, NIV Lord our God, we come to you burdened and driven by every kind of need and oppression, but you will bring light into every situation; in your great goodness and faithfulness you will continue to help. We come to you because you are our help. We want to draw strength from your Word so that we can remain steadfast in these times, awaiting your help and already finding joy and certainty in our expectation. For your kingdom is coming, and your will is being done on earth as in heaven. Amen. ***** Father, today we place our needs before you knowing that you are at work on our behalf. It may seem that nothing is changing, but you Oh Lord see what we cannot. If we will walk in your ways, we will see that you are working everything together for our good. Right now it may not seem very good, but later we will understand your plan and purpose. Your timing on every matter is perfect! ***** “A Prayer For Being Alert And Sober” Daily prayer: Father, You have called upon us to be sober and vigilant believers who are instant in season and out of season. We’re ready to spring into action to do Your bidding when we might least expect to be called upon. May the fruit of the Spirit; love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control, be evident in our attitudes and actions as we live out our daily lives and relate to others while living self-controlled and sober minded lives. Through Christ Jesus we pray. Amen. See Galatians 5:22, 23 |
