Are You Discouraged Because You Haven't Arrived? - A Nighttime Prayer


1x
"And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ." -- Philippians 1:6.

Please Pray:

Father God, thank you that you understand I will always struggle while on this earth. To know you have provided for my perfection when I reach heaven is so encouraging. Help me to remember that depending upon you brings you more glory than when I'm depending upon myself. Give me your joy that doesn't require perfection on my part. I praise Lord God Almighty, for sending Jesus to die on the cross for my sins and making me perfect in your eyes. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.

      Shame Develops from Feeling Alone and Helpless

      Shame Develops from Feeling Alone and Helpless Matthew 26:50-54 tells us, Then they came up and laid hands on Jesus and seized him. And behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his ear. Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place. For all who take the sword will perish by the sword. Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels? But how then should the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must be so?” Jesus tells angry Peter to stop trying to protect what God doesn’t want protected. We see the theme of Hebrews 12:1-3: Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
