Dear Lord,
Please keep me focused on what true godliness is in my life.
Let me begin today, each day in the months ahead, illumined by your light,
To better understand godliness---the godliness I need in order to approach You better in prayer; in order to see you better in my spirit and in order to know Your Holy Will better in my own meek humble life.
Please make known to my body, mind and spirit the excellence of your sacred humility with better physical and spiritual discipline...the discipline of listening better to godliness in the life around me....godliness through the spirit of others........
Please give me a change of heart and mind to eat more moderately and to exercise more regularly....and to understand godliness in my diet and exercise.....
This is the main source of my misery, the obstacle that constantly keeps me from your love.
Please keep us from falling into sin today, and rebelling aginst godliness in others, and what we need to ask You about seeking godliness daily in our own lives.
Please quicken my heart and mind through Holy Spirit to better understand true godliness in the Spirit.
Defend us during this day with Thy Holy Power, through Thy Precious Holy Blood, that we may not fall into sin, but be quickened by Holy Spirit in all our words, and thoughts and deeds, and continue to battle the good battle in faith, with the power of godliness in our own lives.....
May I always proceed and be directed toward that which is just in Thy Sight.
Please, please bless my sense of humor, even bless humor and joy, in me and around me, even when I am so tired or hungry I can't think anymore....sometimes joy and gladness in the Spirit is the only medicine we trully have or can possibly need in life...
Please bless my mistakes with others (my humble life judgments) ....we are all only human..... "in everything God works for good with those that love Him, who are called according to his purpose..." Romans 8:28
Please keep me be assured of this hope in You.
Please let us be where you need us to be most at the moment, wherever in this world, in time, where you need us most to be.....that we may give You Glory and Honor and Praise....
Through Jesus' Precious Holy Name,
Amen
GODLINESS:
"TRAIN YOURSELF IN GODLINESS, FOR WHILE BODILY TRAINING IS OF SOME VALUE, GODLINESS IS OF VALUE IN EVERY WAY, AS IT HOLDS PROMISE FOR THE PRESENT LIFE AND THE LIFE TO COME. THIS SAYING IS SURE AND WORTHY OF ACEPTANCE. FOR TO THIS END WE TOIL AND STRIVE, BECAUSE WE HAVE OUR HOPE SET ON THE LIVING GOD, WHO IS THE SAVIOR OF ALL MEN, ESPECIALLY OF THOSE WHO BELIEVE."
RSV 1 TIMOTHY 4:7-10
