Father in Heaven,
As I pray today
in the name of Jesus ✝️
our only way
As you continue
to teach 👍🏾us⚖️
light and character.
help 👍🏾us⚖️
walk circumspectly.
Carefully!
Wisely!
Thoughtfully!
Redeeming the time,
because these days will test
what’s godly versus what’s evil
what words alone cannot prove.
So as I “study” to show
myself approved
when the test comes,
don’t let me reach first
for eloquence,
Because the elephant in the room
Is what Christ✝️ has don’t in
👍🏾us⚖️!
So, let me,
let 👍🏾us⚖️,
as a church
continue to
reach for Christ✝️.
Carefully!
Wisely!
Thoughtfully!
Reverently!
Since, this is not
⛪️Our👍🏾 work,
but that of Christ✝️.
So much so
Paul came
in weakness.
In fear.
In trembling.
And somehow…
God✝️, as our source
You✝️ were
still shown powerful.
So, we don’t have to pretend
to be invincible
to have strong faith,
because the blessing
of Your✝️ Word✝️
and blessing for ⚖️ hur
is that you taught 👍🏾us⚖️
to read,
to pray,
to intercede!
So, it leads me to believe
and prayerfully her that
just maybe strong faith
isn’t never trembling.
“Yet”,
maybe strong faith
for 👍🏾us⚖️ is
knowing where to stand
while trembling
“verses”
not standing
in my wisdom.
“verses”
not standing
in my reputation.
Yet, it’s’ Your✝️ Word,
not standing in my ability
to explain everything perfectly.
But as we depend on You✝️
we can stand in Your power.
So as we look to You✝️
this day, You✝️ have made,
may 👍🏾we⚖️ be reminded,
🎶We need thee Lord🎶
🎶We need thee🎶
🎶Every hour🎶
🎶We need thee🎶
A hymn and spiritual song
in our heart,
This day Lord✝️
as we look to You✝️
as the strength of our faith
In Jesus Christ✝️ name
I pray and give thanks.
Amen.
