Proper Preparation
Hey Family, this week begins the preparation process for Christ's transformational work in our lives and it starts with the most important thing. Deep and intimate prayer with our Heavenly Father that leaves us more Holy and more humble each day.
Today's Prayer
"Dear Heavenly Father, the blessing of prayer is such a powerful tool, gift, and opportunity to commune with You. You don't make it hard or complicated. You simply desire a genuine and humble spirit when we do. And in not being naive, we know that having a humble spirit does not come naturally and the only way to truly obtain this humility is by Your transformative grace and Your Holy Spirit. Help us to heed both of them in our pursuit of You, Father. In Christ Jesus name we pray, Amen."
Scripture
A Humble Heart Heeds His Holiness
1 Peter 5:5-11
"In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.” Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings. And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen."
