Hebrews 11:6 (Young’s Literal Translation)
and apart from faith it is impossible to please well, for it behoveth him who is coming to God to believe that He is, and to those seeking Him He becometh a rewarder.
I have not trusted that You are fully present in every situation, especially _______.
Mark 11:22-24 (The Message)
Jesus was matter-of-fact: “Embrace this God-life. Really embrace it, and nothing will be too much for you. This mountain, for instance: Just say, ‘Go jump in the lake’—no shuffling or shilly-shallying—and it’s as good as done. That’s why I urge you to pray for absolutely everything, ranging from small to large. Include everything as you embrace this God-life, and you’ll get God’s everything.
I have lacked the expectation that You yearn to be present in every aspect of my life.
Daniel 10:12-14 (New American Standard Bible)
Then he said to me, “Do not be afraid, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart on understanding this and on humbling yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to your words.
“But the prince of the kingdom of Persia was withstanding me for twenty-one days; then behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left there with the kings of Persia.
“Now I have come to give you an understanding of what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision pertains to the days yet future.”
I have been blind to the spiritual reality.
Have mercy, Lord, and forgive all these, my sins. Amen.
