My Indwelling Lord, You are superior to everyone and everything that has ever existed. I know this because Your Word testifies to it. There is nothing this world has to offer that is better than You. Your living in me is having the best that life can give. The things that compete with You for preeminence in my life are deceptions or fake imitations. Some believers are tempted to pull back from a relationship with You because of worldly enticements, plain laziness or outright rebellion and disobedience. I have found that, in order to fulfill my calling, I must walk by faith each and every day. The process of maturing in faith takes time and making You an indispensable part of my life. A daily commitment to You and dedicated service on Your behalf are musts in living life to the fullest. When I grow and mature in faith, I am not easily swayed or shaken by temptations and worldly attractions.
If I trust You for my salvation, my next step is to be transformed into Your likeness. A life of obedience and trust creates a place where You are welcome and I can develop an unbreakable bond with You. I know that an overcoming and victorious life will be possible if I do not give up along the way or turn back when things get tough. I pray that You will help me stay true to You and that You will fill me with the strength to endure the difficulties I am sure I will face. I rejoice in the fact that You came to fulfill the prophecies of the Old Testament and show me the way to a better life with You as my Savior. Your dwelling in me provides freedom from the power of sin and assures me of a place with You in Heaven. To know You is to have a perfect relationship with God Almighty. I can have no clearer view of the Eternal God than when I look at You. You are a mirror of the One who sent You to me.
Your love surrounds me with a feeling that I am cherished and You will take care of all of my needs. With You dwelling in me, I am protected from the attacks of my enemies. Having You in my heart produces the power I need to overcome my obstacles and help me endure my tests and trials. In You, I find a peace that provides me with rest and allows me to rejuvenate. Because of Your indwelling, I can count on You to heal me from all forms of sickness. As My Shepherd, You guide me to places where I belong. When I face uncertainty and questions that seemingly have no answers, I can rely on Your wisdom and knowledge for resolutions to my dilemmas. You act as sympathetic and compassionate Advocate for me before the Father. I have come to realize that to have You living in me is to have a piece of Heaven living in me. And it’s in Jesus’ name I pray. AMEN!!
Galatians 2:20 I’ve been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loves me and gave Himself for me.
