All through this week I have been sharing personal jottings from my daily prayer journal in the hope they will be a help and encouragement to you in your walk with God.
Proverbs 21:2,3 – Every way of man is right in his own eyes, but the LORD weighs the hearts. To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice. (NKJV)
Lord I know you know my heart better than I do myself – help me to act from pure motives and for my deeds to please you. Keep me from vain and empty religious practices.
2 Chr. 31f King Hezekiah is faithful through his reign, both in deed and heart. But his son Mannaseh undoes all the good work of his father. Then he is humiliated and imprisoned by Assyrians he humbles himself and repents and God restores him.
2 Cor. 2:1-11 In this passage Paul urges forgiveness towards a wayward member of the church in Corinth.
Father forgiveness is at the heart of the Gospel, put in me a spirit of forgiveness, not just a readiness to forget, but to truly forgive. Father I pray this day that I would hear more of your heart for the future.
