Today’s Prayer (12/13/2020)

Lord God, I give You glory and praise. You are worthy of our praise and deserve it also. I honor You this day and forever. Keep me upright and in Your service. Only through Your hand can I overcome the temptations in the world and come out victorious. So continue to build me up daily in Your love. Help me to learn how to forgive others the same way You forgive me. Help me to find the good things in others and lift them up, instead of tearing them down. You have seen the potential in me and continue to lift me up daily, even when I don’t deserve it. Yes, God, help me to love my neighbor as myself and also my enemies, as You have called me to do. This is part of the two greatest commandments which You have given us. First to love You with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and then to love my neighbor as myself. In keeping these commandments is my love truly on display for You, whom I adore. Otherwise, I am only paying lip service unto You, where my heart is really against You in my sins. Oh, how the sins of this world appear to be so good on the outside but are so filthy on the inside. Once Satan has a hold of my life, in the trickery of these fleshly pleasures, am I unable to come out of His traps. This is until I pray and call upon Your Name. Then, You are worthy to save me, even again, and again. Wow! You are such a good God. Even now, do I no longer wish to willfully sin, but to live this life fully surrendered to You, Jesus. I love You more than anything else. Amen.

John 8:56-59

John 8:56-59 (KJV)
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
59 Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

Jesus Said He Is God: John 8

Jesus is the great “I Am”. He proclaimed this to the people. Therefore, He is the Lord God Almighty, who is worthy to save.
