🙏🏾Restoring Our Heart Condition (Part 14)
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⚖️
what it means
to walk each day
In a way circumspect
that meets the need
of ➡️someone⚖️ with concerns
about what success will be
or what right looks like
in a ministry only known
to those acquainted
with a more excellent way
So Lord✝️
as 👍🏾we⚖️ seek You✝️
in 👍🏾our⚖️ yesterdays
for this day
may you help 👍🏾us⚖️
understand the potential of forever
with a heart, mind,
and ear to hear
unrushed by noise
undistracted by boys
nor drawn away by girls
May we continue reach
each day each other
with a mindset locked in
by a bloodline✝️
Sacred to our families
Established by the individual work
done daily in 👍🏾us⚖️
So when we finally
talk again the term friend
can be seen out of the lens
of partnership
versus just fellowship
God✝️ the word ship
sticks out
I don’t want
👍🏾USS⚖️ to sink
I need 👍🏾USS⚖️ to trust again,
because lust again in this
partnership doesn’t exist
outside of Your✝️ Word.
This is – an evaluation!
A situation to determine
What’s in the heart of 👍🏾us⚖️,
where do we start with 👍🏾us⚖️,
plus concerning
strengths, weaknesses,
and problems
how can 👍🏾we⚖️
best help 👍🏾us⚖️
continue?!
Lord for us in this prayer to
To listen again.
is to pray again.
and say again
This IS – an evaluation!
A situation to determine
What’s in the heart of 👍🏾us⚖️,
as we start with 👍🏾us⚖️,
plus concerning
strengths, weaknesses,
and problems answering
how can 👍🏾we⚖️
best help 👍🏾us⚖️
continue understand again.
7 spiritual traits essentially
rooted and required
for 👍🏾us⚖️ to ✝️Love again,
but this time,
more effectively
unto a heart condition
that reflects
your✝️ heart condition
towards a fellowship
that reflects
Your Love to 👍🏾us⚖️.
God✝️, how do we get to you?!!!!
In 👍🏾our⚖️ communication
what must remain
according to ✝️Truth.
so the family member
at the breakfast table
can know
I heard you,
I remember,
and I care.
So, she ⚖️ knows
best through me
how to follow what You✝️ say
and how to never be led astray.
Yes! Lord✝️ “that’s a heavy,”
but I trust you,
and I need to ensure ⚖️she does
the same way too,
as “we learn the worlds”
of each other
from which you say it is
concerning 👍🏾us⚖️
And until ⚖️we👍🏾
can look at one another
and recognize
that somewhere
between understanding 👍🏾our⚖️ worlds
and surrendering 👍🏾our⚖️ hearts,
Jesus Christ✝️ was teaching 👍🏾us⚖️
how to love what we ✝️ trust
effectively,
faithfully,
truthfully,
and prayerfully Your’s✝️ on this night.
In Jesus Christ✝️ name
I pray and give thanks
Amen.
