Scriptures for Today
As you read today's Scriptures, read slowly and attentively, allowing the Holy Spirit to speak to you as you meditate on His Word.
Matthew 6:9
“This, then, is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name…’”
Exodus 15:11
“Who among the gods is like you, Lord? Who is like you— majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders?”
1 Peter 1:8-9
Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
1 Peter 2:9
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
Worship
Prayer
We will continue to use the Lord’s Prayer as a framework for prayer and intercession today.
Today’s focus is your FAMILY or HOUSEHOLD.
Pray for your family to be strengthened in Christ and honor God with their lives. Ask that His Kingdom would come and His will would be done in your family (spouse, kids, parents or roommates). Intercede for your family members, that they’d align their minds and hearts with the truth of Scripture. Pray for the overall welfare of your family, that righteousness, peace, provision, healing and spiritual renewal would mark their lives. Pray for protection over them and against any spiritual attack from the enemy.
Listen & Obey
Spend two minutes in silent, listening prayer. Write down what you sense the Holy Spirit speaking to you. Here are some prompts to assist you:
- Lord, what do You want to speak to me from these passages of Scripture as I start my day?
- How do You want me to apply this truth today?
- Who do I need to share this with today?
