Day 2 - Week 23 - WWI

Beloved,
"Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.
Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
If you love only those who love you...if you do good only to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you?
...I will show you what it’s like when someone comes to me, listens to my teaching, and then follows it.
It is like a person building a house...on solid rock." - Excerpt from Luke 6.
Merciful Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, we thank you for this moment.
We are thankful for your awesome presence, and your holy loving words that encourage our faith, hope, and love.
We pray and affirm to our secret places Psalm 138:8, "the Lord will work out his plans for my life for your faithful love, O Lord, endures forever."
Abba Father, as we diligently seek YOU we are asking for the humility, strength, patience, faith, hope, and love to serve our loved ones and enemies the way you have instructed us to: regardless of how we feel.
We repent of our sin and ask you to forgive our debts- Matthew 6:8-13.
Jesus Christ we receive your instruction,
"him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also"...
"Even if that person wrongs you seven times a day and each time turns again and asks forgiveness, you must forgive”
Luke 17:4.
"And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith."- Luke 17:5.
As it is written, " For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us-
Romas 8:18.
We have everything with YOU and nothing without you: you are the Alpha and the Omega...the Beginning and the End.
We are healed by Your stripes; we thank you for your sacrifice, Holy Trinity: The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.- Isaiah 53:5.
We receive all of the faith, hope, love, kindness, fruit of the Spirit, answered prayers, heart's desires, special miracles, and blessings that YOU have for us.
Jesus is the Lord.
Amen.
