I Am Teachable

My Faithful Lord, I always go back and reflect on Your promises when problems and difficulties come my way and I begin to feel defeated. These are some of the promises I rely on: II Corinthians 1:20 For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ.

My Omnipotent God, it is sad to watch as society decays all around me. I’m sure it makes You sad too. Politicians seek bribes and give favors, judges twist the law to meet their own beliefs, and corruption is everywhere. I cling to Your promise to lead me out of the darkness associated with sin … Read more

My All-Knowing Lord, truth and love are subjects of discussion in the world but are seldom practiced. From politicians to corporate leaders to ordinary people they conveniently ignore or conceal facts and use words to enhance or hide their intentions. Lying and half-truths are common while integrity and creditability are lacking. Words twisted and taken … Read more

My Loving Lord, I desire with all my heart to become an imitator of You in every way. The path to achieving that goal will be hard because my spirit is willing but my flesh is weak. However, I believe that with help I can overcome the powers of sin because the spirit You placed … Read more

Most Caring Lord, it is natural for humans beings to think their ways are better than Yours. Intellectual pride, rationalizations, and prejudices keep them from You.
