Give me faith like Moses, who loved your way more than the
treasures of Egypt. Give me faith like the people of the Exodus,
who were willing to walk through the sea at your bidding, but keep
me from wavering and rebelling as they did. Give me faith like
Rahab, who placed her loyalty with you and your people. Give me
faith like Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel and the
prophets, who did mighty works in your name and suffered with
patient endurance for your sake.
Dear God, I rejoice to be in the company of your holy people, this
cloud of witnesses who lived by faith in you.
May I lay aside every weight of sin and run with perseverance the
race that is set before me, looking to Jesus, the pioneer and
perfecter of my faith.
VERSE: And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him
deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
-- Luke 9:23

THOUGHT:
Offering ourselves to God isn't easy because it means we must
first die to our own selfish will. Like Jesus did in the Garden of
Gethsemane, we face our own cross and must cry out, "Not my will,
dear Father, but your will be done!"
PRAYER:
Dear Father, thank you for sending Jesus as my Savior. Lord
Jesus, I want to follow you. I don't want it to be half-hearted or
hypocritical. I want your life to be seen in me. So please, gently
show me the areas where my heart needs to be softened and my
character needs to be shaped by the Spirit so that I can more
perfectly reflect your glory, grace, and character to those around
me. In Jesus' name. Amen.
Thankyou for your kind words............Be Blessed
VERSE:
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that
ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto
God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this
world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye
may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of
God.
-- Romans 12:1-2
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Romans+12:1-2&translation=kjv
THOUGHT:
The motivation for our holiness is God's incredible mercy and
grace. We offer ourselves to him because he has already shown us
his love through the sacrifice of Jesus. As we offer ourselves to
honor him, we are worshipping him. As we refuse to be molded into
the lifestyle of the world, we offer him praise. As we consistently
do these things with our lives, God's will becomes even clearer.
With the Spirit's help, we are daily being transformed to be more
like Jesus (2 Cor. 3:18) as we display more of the character of God
(Gal. 5:22-23).
PRAYER:
Father, as the old hymn says, "Have thine own way Lord ... mold
me and make me after thy will!" I gladly offer you my heart, my
life, and my future to be used to your glory. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Hebrews 12:3-11
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Hebrews+12:3-11
Dear Father,
Help me to keep my eyes on Jesus. Despite the hostility poured on
him by sinners, he obeyed you, even to the point of death.
Help me submit to your discipline, for I know that it assures me
that I am your legitimate child, not just a slave.
Help me to respect your discipline, as from a heavenly Father,
even more than discipline I received from my earthly father.
Help me bear up under the painful aspects of your discipline,
understanding that it yields the fruit of righteousness.
Teach me to rely on you and trust you, as a small child does a
father. Let me become as a little child, that I may enter your
kingdom!
In the name of Jesus I ask. Amen.

I am sorry that it took so long for me to contact you. But I am great but busy. How are you doing? Was there a question you need an answer to?
