| Spiritual Readings Breastplate of Righteousness by SGLY Ministry For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. 2 Corinthians 5:21 NKJV. Righteousness is right standing with God. There is no way in and of ourselves that we can be righteous in God’s eyes except through Jesus. In Jesus we are covered with His righteousness, so then God sees us as righteous. Without Christ as our righteousness Isaiah 64:6 says: “…we are all like an unclean thing, And all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags;…” Therefore, Christ is the Breastplate of Righteousness we need to wear daily for in and of ourselves we can never be righteous. The enemy will attempt to deceive us into thinking that we can be, he will lie and encourage us to be self-righteous, but if we know the truth we will recognize his attempts to defeat us and we will stand firm in the righteousness of Christ that God has provided for us. Prayer: Dear God, thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus, who knew no sin to be sin for me, so that I might become righteous in Your eyes. I am so grateful for Your love and for the blood of Your Son who paid the price for me to be a new person spiritually. Today as I wear Your Armor I will do so as a thankful soldier wearing the Breastplate of Righteousness, who stands firm in the faith. Today: Rejoice that you are righteous in God’s eyes because of Christ. Give thanks that you are dressed in God’s Armor and not in filthy rags. Sing praises to God. Blessings to you daily as you wear His Armor provided to all of us who are in Christ. Click here for more Daily Spiritual Meditations |

| Prayers Prayer of St. Patrick Lord, be with me and all who love you, this day: Within us to purify us; Above us to draw us up; Beneath us to sustain us; Before us to lead us; Behind us to restrain us; Around us to protect us. In Christ's name we pray, Amen. by Saint Patrick (389-461 A.D.) ***** All to Jesus I surrender. Not my will but yours be done in my life. Father, you have given us the power to change, and I ask you, Holy Spirit, to expose any fear or doubts that try to linger. May I ever be well-balanced. I loose all ungodly, unwholesome mind-sets and renew my mind to the mind of Christ. Your perfect love cast out all fear when I am totally abandoned to you. You are effectually helping me work out my salvation. In the name of Jesus, I thank you for loving me. Amen. 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 1 Peter 5:8 1 John 4:18 ***** Dear Lord, help me to remember that even in the depths of my despair, You are there. Help me to remember to rejoice and praise You even then, believing that there is a purpose in everything that happens. Give me the strength to turn my life over completely to You and to mean it, not dictating answers to my prayers, but being willing to listen and to sincerely put You in charge of my life. Give me courage to speak honestly in love, not shying away from reality, or lacking the courage to face the painful. Help me to know that You are my only real security and that You will not fail me. Guide me in the paths that I should walk, both for Your sake and for mine. In Your holy name I pray. Amen. © 2000 by D. L.

Make me more careful of my strength, and less forgetful of thy promises and of my trust. Amen. ***** In times of difficulty, Lord, we appreciate the support and encouragement of others. In better times we feel stronger and more secure. Remind us then to co-operate with other people and look out for the needs of others, being ready to offer a smile, a word, and other support and encouragement. Amen. ***** Dear Father, please let what I do make a difference in the world. |
