But He, knowing their thoughts, said to
them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to
desolation, and a house divided against a house falls.”
Dear Father in Heaven, hallowed be Your
great name. Only You Lord understand my thoughts afar off. And are
acquainted with all my ways. You hedge me behind and before. May I
rejoice for You have laid Your loving hand upon me. May we remember
the gift You have so graciously given, the in filling of Your Holy
Spirit. As I have struggled to train my body, much inner conflict has
ensued. Much of the care I have done in attending to my physical
needs I've done my own way which has been counter to what Your Spirit
has spoken when leading and guiding me. It is no wonder that for far
to long I've been exhausted and drained, my house has been divided
and is ready to collapse. Lord You have created me fearfully and
wonderfully. Marvelous are Your works. I often run from the sight of
my frame, but it is never hidden from You. The beautiful eyes that
see my substance has said everything He has made is very good. That
includes me. I surrender my will in to Your care, asking forgiveness
over the times I thought I could take care of this temple better than
the great I AM. Father, I lift up to You all those who struggle with
outward appearance, while a battle rages within. Halt the enemies
voice who whisper things contradicting Your perfect truth. May Your
peace be on those who battle eating disorders, drug and/or alcohol
addictions, self mutilation, and obsessive compulsive disorders may
they find rest in Your loving arms. Rebuild lives broken by the inner
turmoil that has caused them to fall. I pray Father, Your people will
hold ever thought captive to the obedience of Christ. Father even
though we walk in the flesh I pray for all to understand we do not
war according to the flesh. Thank You for our weapons that are found
in Your word and are mighty in pulling down strongholds in our minds
that are holding us prisoner. I pray we would cast aside every
argument in our minds that wants to exalt its self against You. May
Your children have victory over every area of life today by the power
of Your Holy Spirit. In the mighty and awesome name of my Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ the risen One. Amen.
