Dearest Holy Father,
Bless the Words of Scriptures -grant me a loving discipline with Your Word Lord God. Teach me to search for correct meaning and hold You
accountable to Your promises and attributes. Teach me O Holy Spirit to
receive what's on the page and not what I want the pages to tell me. I live differently because Your instruction contained in the Scriptures.
Keep
me teachable Holy Spirit because I haven't been called to follow my
heart or to respond out of emotion. I must respond to Your Word. Your
Word is more reliable for life than my own heart, my own understanding,
my parents ways, or submission to obeying every law.
To
know You is to pursue You, Jesus, AKA Word of God. As I chase you, Holy
Spirit sanctify. Fuel this partnership until Christ returns. Your Bible
speaks to me: causing me to underline, pray and envelope your
declarations. Your plan is made famous in Scriptures, where else should I
look for the direction of my life than in your Masterpiece?
But
now at Moody, so much of your Word can be compartmentalized, tallied,
cross-referenced, trended and extracted by the advancement of
technology... Keep me from study habits that offer Scripture without
Your revelation! No other moment in time has the possibility of studying
your Word been so easy. Hold me God to a higher accountability for what
I know about your grace and mercy and the Truth that never changes.
Give
me application of faith when reading your Scrolls. Refine my study
methods, apologetic and teachers. Gift your Holy Spirit's authorship
over all my spiritual understanding. Help me conform to you Lord Jesus.
That I would decrease and You increase.
Thanks for Your Word,
Nic

The Promised One in Me
Jesus,
Glory to the Resurrected One. I live a resurrection life because You are in me. The old has gone. As for death? Your sting is a flesh wound since the cross of Christ.
I wonder: Do you, along with the Holy Spirit discuss my obedience, sanctification, and confidence in You? Humble me and I will take refuge in You.
Time and again I scheme to win over man -no more! The old has gone, the new is here. Accept my worship and words they are all I have to offer until my life bears Your fruit.
I am not righteous of merit but you dear Savior how generous is your grace?
Conform me to Your likeness because You have saved me and awakened my soul to its contentment: You dear Lord.
I worship You Jesus, You are: The Righteous Branch of Israel. The Horn of My Salvation.The Seed of Abraham in the line of David. The Lion from the Tribe of Judah. The suffering Servant. You are the One worthy to open the scroll, Lamb of God.
Jesus you are Lord of my life.
You are great and worthy. All my worth is in you Jesus.
When you use me and fill me, I am at home.
Your servant responding,
Nic

Into Me
Lord God,
Your Word has a way
into my heart for holiness;
into my head for discernment.
Your blood has a way
into my life for mercy;
into my sin for salvation.
Your grace has a way
into my words for worship;
into my days for abiding.
Thank you God for this new life in Jesus.

Hesed
Dear Lord God (3 in 1),
I confess I have kept you at a distance.
In the mornings I awake and go to FB, ESPN, CNN, and Gmail. I used to go to Your Word and pray... When I go about life avoiding You I get selfish, work becomes anxious, I have a confidence that is superficial -I mess things up!!! I become sin-heavy: uneasy, restless, mad at myself. The Deceiver gets loud and through it all I feel less than a child of God.
No self-help or stern discipline caused a shift in me today. Father Your loving-kindness this morning drew me back to You. I need You not my computer. Lord, may I ask this day according to Your will and be content regardless. Father you gave me your Son! The Lord Jesus who breaks all bondage has me drawn near to You -what mercy. He is why I am writing now. His blood and righteousness are my remedy. Help me to live in Jesus' grace and know His peace, because the whole of my sin He did pay for.
Holy Spirit draw me to Christ. Call me back to You, reel me in. O Counselor of Truth, you are my wise blessed guide. There is sweet sanctification at work in me at all times because of Your sealing! May your Spirit illuminate Scripture to my hardened heart. Let this temple of the Holy Spirit reflect the Son once again.
In Jesus' Name.
