Psalm Prayer & Reflection:
We often determine our steps by what we desire, by what we place our trust in and what we do as children can often at times placed negative habits in our lives fully into our adulthood. If the habits we formed in our youth, which caused us to fall, to strive and to chase counterfeit Gods are not recognized we can not overcome them. It becomes more and more complicated if we don’t begin to recognize these past habits and how much they form our responses to our everyday lives. The Bible refers to these patterns or behaviors as strongholds and often we need prolonged prayers to remove such negative responses to be removed from our internal DNA. It can be a hard slog, but an investment well worth making.
“The Lord favors those who fear and worship Him [with awe-inspired reverence and obedience], Those who wait for His mercy and lovingkindness. [Ps 145:20]”
Psalms 147:11 AMP
In today’s passage in Psalms we hear of the need to be aware of giving him Praise and Worship (following the Holy Spirit) and not the former patterns, behaviors and or reactions from our youth. These issues we all carry and need to pray for breakthrough in. There is not one of us who has not been through difficult times, but does not mean that God can not overcome them. With Christ Jesus all things are possible through Christ who strengthens us. Its imperative that we take a hold of ourselves, pray for forgiveness, seek the fruit of the Holy Spirit to set us free and for the Armor of God to help us stand firm on Gods word.
As we continue our day, as we head into our afternoons and evening lets hold onto the hope of humanity as our anchor and as our guide to pull us through whatever we are going through trusting, knowing and loving that Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life, the Same Yesterday, Today and Forever and that we can have freedom in Christ. In Jesus name. Amen
Let us Pray…
Father please remove all strongholds from us, help us to replace all negative thoughts and place in us pure hearts for your Kingdom, your Glory and your Names sake. Forgive us, transform us and change us into your image in Jesus name. Amen
“So it is good to wait quietly for salvation from the Lord.”
Lamentations 3:26 NLT
