Adoration

Read Psalm 24 and pray over it. My prayer reflected spiritual warfare and family division.

O King of glory, may we lift our hands up to you. O Lord of the host, how wonderful are your gates of heavens. The Lord is strong and mighty in battle, and all your enemies will bow their knees to you(Psalm 24:7-8). Pour your righteousness upon your servant that all may be well with her. Your grace rolls over the earth bringing salvation to all people. “Of this, you have heard before in the word of the truth, the gospel, which has come to you, as indeed in the whole world it is bearing fruit and increasing—as it also does among you since the day you heard it and understood the grace of God in truth (Colossians 1: 5-6).

Confession

O Father, forgive your servant for lack of bravery and understanding in the face of evil. The shadows of evil spirits have plagued my youth with specific fears that were difficult to shake off. This warfare has left me struggling with doubts, fears, deceptions, and lies. Only through my Savior Jesus Christ as my shield and defender could I stand unharmed during those vulnerable moments. The Holy Spirit protected me with his wings of righteousness. Praise Him for it! Through this ordeal of warfare, I’ve learned how much evil hates it when I’m faithful and obedient to God. When I wanted to be a submissive and caring wife. It hates when I teach my children about Jesus and be obedient children. Holy Spirit leads us to trust God and not fear the evil that has already been conquered. O Father of steadfast love, continue protecting our family and bringing it together peacefully.

Thanksgiving

O Jesus, thank you for your perfect sacrifice at the cross for my soul. You’ve cleansed my hands and given me a pure heart. I can now lift up my soul to your holy places. Your blessings and righteousness toward us are the best gifts a soul can receive. O Jesus, let me seek your face with songs of praise and prayer of thanksgiving.

Supplication

O Father in heaven, let your Son Jesus save my youngest Son and K. from the pit of the shadows of evil. They will have no hope of salvation, eternal life and a relationship with Jesus in that state of mind. Corruption firmly gripped both of them while we were young and vulnerable. You alone can break their chains and clear their conscience and reason. O Father, I pray you to call upon them soon so we might enjoy their company as we miss them terribly. Do so according to your marvellous glory and mercy; at the time, it is best.

Daily Reading & Reflection

We read Isaiah 12 this morning, and what a blessing it was to us. Now that I’ve memorized Titus 1-3, I’m trying to recite the entire book aloud without peeking at my Bible. At the moment, I’m glancing at least 10-12 times.

How is your prayer time alone with God this week? When was the last time you read the entire Bible in one year? I lost count of how many times I have read the Bible in its entirety, but it doesn’t matter; I still want to read it repeatedly. I enjoyed the ESV audio Bible and have reviewed the entire book once this yearend. Yes, I’ve started to listen to Genesis again. Sometimes, like yesterday, I listened to Titus and Hebrews while painting my old hutch.

The Lord Is My Strength and My Song

 You will say in that day:
“I will give thanks to you, O Lord,
    for though you were angry with me,
your anger turned away,
    that you might comfort me.

 “Behold, God is my salvation;
    I will trust, and will not be afraid;
for the Lord God is my strength and my song,
    and he has become my salvation.”

With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.  And you will say in that day:
“Give thanks to the Lord,
    call upon his name,
make known his deeds among the peoples,
    proclaim that his name is exalted.

 “Sing praises to the Lord, for he has done gloriously;
    let this be made known in all the earth.
 Shout, and sing for joy, O inhabitant of Zion,
    for great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel.”

Isaiah 12
