Prayer:

Thanksgiving:
Lord, I thank You that Your mercies are new today. Today is a day that You have made. Today is fresh, and we get to be fresh with that new day! I thank You for Your heart for us, Lord. Your great love is amazing. I rest in Your love and in Your mercy and receive it. I thank You, Lord. You are worthy of praise. Blessed be the name of the Lord!

Confession:
I come to You and confess. I bow my heart and ask for a pure heart before You God. I want to be open to You and confess my need each day. (Take time to confess anything God brings to your attention. Mine today: I simply confess my deep need and dependence on You, Lord. I desire to honor You in all I do. I am very tired, and need Your help to be kind to those around me)

Supplication:
Take time to lift personal needs. Mine today: I am exhausted from a difficult night of interrupted sleep, and have a busy day of work today. I need Your touch and would love to have a burst of Your wind and energy.

Intercession:
Today I lift my children to Your throne. I ask You for Your divine intervention with them. (Take time to journal victories and progress, needs and concerns. Chloe today: Thank You that she sleeps most nights. This is such a change! I pray that these interrupted nights would become a thing of the past. I pray that she will have a life of solid sleep, and not struggle with insomnia. I pray also for her day at school and her interactions with others to be pleasant and fruitful. Christian today: I thank You that he is being mainstreamed every day at school. I thank You that he vocalized “I want push” on the swing last night! I pray that You will continue to minister to his heart and mind. Help him to desire to use the toilet for all toilet needs. Remove any fear and anxiety surrounding elimination. I pray that if I am neglecting to do something I could do that You will give me the awareness and the stamina, as well as my husband.)


Thanksgiving and Consecration:
Lord, I bless You and I thank You for meeting with me here each day. I praise You for answering my prayers. I love You, Lord. I pray You would seal this time for Your kingdom.

Blessing and Benediction:
Romans 11:33, 36

Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways! For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.

  Monday, January 29, 2018 Reflections on Celebration of Discipline—The Discipline of Guidance, Part 1 Excerpt: Perhaps the preoccupation with private guidance in Western cultures is the product of their emphasis upon individualism. The people of God have not always been so. God led the children of Israel out of bondage as a people. Everyone saw the cloud and fiery pillar. They were not a gathering of individuals who happened to be going in the same direction; they were a people under the theocratic rule of God. His brooding presence covered them with an amazing immediacy. Patiently God prepared a people and in the fullness of time Jesus came. And with him dawned a new day. Once again a people were gathered who lived under the immediate, theocratic rule of the Spirit. With quiet persistence Jesus showed them what it meant to live in response to the voice of the Father. He taught them that they, too, could hear the heaven-sent voice and most clearly when together. “...

Confession:  I come to You will my heart and hands open, in full recognition of my need for You. I give my heart to You and ask that You will gently examine me and show me areas that need repentance and change. (Take time to confess to the Lord as He shows you. Mine today: Thank You that You have been showing me my reluctance to enter into play with my children. I ask that You will not only forgive me, Lord. I do ask Your forgiveness. I also ask that You will put in me a playful spiri...

Monday, November 27, 2017 True Service vs. Self- Righteous Service: The Discipline of Service, Part 2 (Inspired by Celebration of Discipline by Richard Foster)

Monday, November 27, 2017 True Service vs. Self- Righteous Service: The Discipline of Service, Part 2 (Inspired by Celebration of Discipline by Richard Foster) “True service comes from a relationship with the divine Other deep inside. We serve out of whispered promptings, divine urgings. Energy is expended but it is not the frantic energy of the flesh. Thomas Kelly writes, “I find He never guides us into an intolerable scramble of panting feverishness.” (Foster, Richard J.. Celebration of Discipline: The Path To Spiritual Growth (p. 127-128). HarperCollins. Kindle Edition.)” “True service builds community. It quietly and unpretentiously goes about caring for the needs of others. It draws, binds, heals, builds.  (pp. 129-130).” Scripture: Philippians 2:1-7 1 So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy,  2  complete my joy by being of the same mind, ha...
