If I have no hunger or thirst for righteousness

 
 

 Almighty God,
If I have no hunger or thirst for righteousness,
please place it in my heart.
“Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God:
thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness (
Psalm 143:10 KJV).

In the powerful name of Jesus, Amen.

Concerning prayer and thought for the day

In our life we encounter enough worries and lots of difficulties of which we wonder how we can cope with them. In life, we are often so busy with ourself that we do not make much time to think about our own Maker.

Lots of people who believe in God think about Him as a boo man or think He is to Grand or Special so that they as just an ordinary small being cannot come unto Him. But they are mistaken. Just by daring to come close to Him we show our will to be under Him and to be a child of Him.

God doesn't call the qualified but He is more interested to touch first those who are humble or who have lots of worries and questions. He is eager to come closer to those who do not yet know Him but who are willing to get to know Him.

Sometimes we pray and pray and it seems like nothing happens. but then we should ask: Why?
There might be a good reason that what we asked not to be answered like we wanted it to be answered. We should always wonder if that what we ask is in line with God His Wishes or with His Plan.
Look at all those who are at war, and both camps praying for them to win the war. But first of all war is something God does not want. He does not want people to fight against each other. So any plea for help in that fight would be useless.

When rightly placed and done with the right attitude "Prayer has the power to change mountains into highways."

We have to make time for having just some time between us and God plus for contemplation and meditation. Creating some moment we can talk to our Divine Most High God.
Each day we should take some time to think about life and about the Sustainer of life. Every day we should take time to meditate on God's Word.

The Christadelphians provide some help to go through the Bible day by day in a year. They also provide next to the Bible Reading Plan or chart. That Bible Companion is just a practical aid, encouraging people to continue their Bible reading in a way that they do not skip the same chapters, but go from one book to the other, chapter after chapter, each year.

May we advise you to come to read those Thoughts for the day and to find some further articles on Bible study and reading, Praying and prayers?

A prayer for this week: Asking forgiveness and thanking God

 
 
Father forgive me for I have sinned:

There were several occasions in the week when I was selfish or mean;
Or careless or uncaring or slow to reach out to those who are ill
I have given less than I could to those in need;

There were days I did not pick up my Bible
or remember to say thank you;
And when I brought all this to you for your mercy and grace
I received it.
Because you welcome sinners so that you can
love and forgive them.
 

Thank you, Lord.
I wish I was more like you.
 
 
prayer for this week

Major challenges and great things happpening in our life

Each day man is confronted with a new challenge.
Regularly we have to face matters that do not please us
or even frighten us.
In our life we often have to face a battle to reach an interesting goal in our life.
Before our feet we often find a big mountain to climb.

Great things happen
when God and you confront a mountain.
'Call to Me,
and I will answer you,
and show you great and mighty things,
which you do not know'
says the Lord
 Jeremiah 33:3


Dear God
Give that I may find you every day on my trip.
Help me to reach the goal I strive for.
Igive me in your Hands and Trust that you shall guide and bring me where you want me to go.

What God says or does not say


God does not say,
'I'll love you if...'
He does not say,
'I'll love you when...'
He says,
'I Love You !'

'The Lord your God is in your midst,
The Mighty One, will save,
He will rejoice over you with gladness,
He will quiet you in His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.'
Zephaniah 3:17



Dear God, thank you for loving me.
In you I put my trust and my hope.

Asking the Most High for forgiveness of sins and ignorance

 
 

'O Dear God,
forgive me my sins, and ignorance, and my exceeding the limit and
forgive whatever You know better than I.

O God! Forgive the wrong I have done jokingly or seriously and forgive my accidental and intentional errors, all that is present in me.

O Al lah, Most High Jehovah God,
forgive me for the sins I have done presently and that which I have done in the past, and those that I have done privately and publically, and that which You know better than me.

 You are the One Who puts forward and you are the One Who delays, and verily You are capable over all things.'

Using the gifts differing according to the grace


God's ideas always aim to reveal undetected, underdeveloped potential.

'Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them.' Romans 12:6


Dear God, I ask you to constantly feed me
with your wisdom
and give me an insight into your wonderful works.
I thank you for your grace
and ask that it may help me to come to help others,
to let them know You and your son better
.

A heart in the right place and brightly burning faith


Keep your heart right and your faith will burn bright.

'For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.'
Matthew 6:21


Dear God, give me guidance with Your infallible Word
and let my heart be directed by It in the right direction

giving me a faith which can be bright as a light in the darkness
calling others to come to You.

Hidden potential for helping others


'...therefore I command you, saying, 'You shall open your hand wide to your brother, to your poor and your needy, in your land.' Deuteronomy 15:11

Problems are simply human needs holding wonderfully hidden potential. 

Dear God, I encounter so many problems in my life, let them be no enduring thorns in my heart and soul, but let them strengthen me, and give me the power to continue in this life.
Let my experiences be of help to others. Give that I always shall be standing ready to help others.

Now matter how obstinate the obstacle or horrific the hurt, forgiveness is always possible.



'For if you forgive others their trespasses,
your heavenly Father will also forgive you.'
Matthew 6:14


My Lord and my God,
give me the courage and the will to be humbly
and to look over the limitednesses of others
and to forgive their mistakes.
