🙏🏾Restoring Our Heart Condition
(Part 7)
Scriptural Foundation: Ephesians 5:1–21
Heart Examination: Philippians 3:7–16; Philippians 4:8–9
Mind and Spirit: Romans 8:5–6
Father in Heaven,
As I pray today
in the name of Jesus Christ✝️
👍🏾our⚖️ Only ✝️ Way
may You✝️ continue
to teach 👍🏾us⚖️
to restore
the condition 👍🏾our⚖️ heart
For the mark ahead.
because the dark ahead
needs our light
To set the contrast
for God✝️ and His ⚖️chosen👍🏾
so this world can see with certainty
black versus white
with a single eyes focus
versus double eyed weeping
that endures for the night
of next days double eyed weeping
enduring for the night
that leaves one blind and enduring
without sight
as a vicious process
and hot mess broadcasted among us
while able to say less!
Nevertheless,
To this Lord✝️ protect us from
this dis-stress through reminders
for us of a life more abundantly
calling ahead of us
as higher and most ✝️ Precious
to this world of your doctrine delivered
👍🏾us⚖️.
that preaches among 👍🏾us⚖️
Nevertheless!
Still Christ✝️ ahead!
Forgetting those things
which are behind,
as we reach,
we press,
and move.
ever forward
into purpose!
As Your✝️ Word reminds 👍🏾me
to be carnally minded
is death,
but to be spiritually minded
is life…
and peace that protects us
So give us
knowledge, Lord✝️.
Not knowledge
that causes arrogance,
but knowledge
that makes 👍🏾us⚖️
aware Of Your✝️ Care
and helps ⚖️ know
what is in my 👍🏾 heart.
Then give ⚖️ discernment
to understand
the world around that heart.
Because two people
can hear the same words
and carry them
into two completely
different worlds.
And ✝️ Love…
has to care enough
to learn the difference.
⚖️…
So this is partly
a prayer,
and partly
a question.
What shaped our world?
What makes you laugh?
What makes you quiet?
What or who taught you
to protect certain places?
What brings comfort?
What creates concern?
When ministry is needed,
do I know enough
to recognize the need?
When comfort is needed,
will I know
how you receive comfort?
When a problem arrives,
will I rush
to solve it…?!
or have I learned
your world well enough
to know whether
you need an answer,
a prayer,
a hand,
a promise,
or simply somebody
to sit there? Silent!
Father✝️ in Heaven,
May This✝️ Love
that’s questionable
and offered us
that much more
effective this day
forward, as I pray
in Jesus Christ✝️ name
the one who
taught us how to pray
Amen.
