God’s Righteous Judgment

Therefore, you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another, you condemn yourself because you, the judge, practice the very same things. 2 We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who practice such things. 3 Do you suppose, O man—you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself—that you will escape the judgment of God? 4 Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? 5. Still, because of your hard and impenitent heart, you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed.

O God, Your Sovereignty of judging humanity is much superior to man. You show no partiality and consider accordingly to our work accordingly. We’re condemning ourselves by our own sinful nature. No one will escape Your righteous judgment. The righteous will have their rewards, and those who are unrighteous will have their just punishments.

God’s Kindness

Your kindness is meant to lead us into our repentance, turning away Your wrath from us. Your patience toward us has bewildered my mind. Every day, I seek to please You as I pray and read over the Scripture. Or learned how to live my life to your statutes so that I may glorify Your name. I pray that I may not fail in my attempt to be alone with You.

A Self-Seeker

6 He will render to each one according to his works: 7 to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, he will give eternal life; 8 but for those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury. 9 There will be tribulation and distress for every human being who does evil, the Jew first and also the Greek, 10 but glory and honour and peace for everyone who does good, the Jew first and also the Greek. 11 For God shows no partiality.

O Spirit, let me not be a self-seeker but one that goes the cross in continual confession. Guide our hearts and minds to do good, and if we judge others unjustly, forgive us. Teach us to practice love, patience, and righteousness that pleases You.

Your Promises

“In Your promises, I’ll dwell and hope.””I trust in You at all times, pouring my heart before You. God is my refuge” Psalm 62: “In Your promises, I’ll dwell and hope. “I trust in You at all times, pouring my heart before You. God is my refuge” Psalm 62

O Jesus, our perfect and steadfast love Savior. I cannot imagine a better way of living than the one You’ve set out for us. Your grace and kindness are poured upon our souls. Leading us to repentance when we do wrong. Never once should we want to look back with regrets at our state of a low estate we were living before You saved us. You are our God, and we’re your people.

Time Alone With God

My prayer over the Book of Romans was enriching and fulfilling to my soul and heart. It’s with pleasure I hope you learned to pray over Scripture with a genuine heart to let the Holy Spirit lead you in confession and thanksgiving. I started to pray over the book of Romans in January 2023 and only shared my prayers with you now. It is important to be alone with God in prayer over His word. Prayers don’t have to be long or complicated. We’re praying with confidence to a God who wants to hear us. We are then developing a relationship with God.
