Daily Prayer_May 11, 2011

The Word for wisdom:

Proverbs 11:20 (MSG)
God can't stand deceivers, but oh how he relishes integrity.

The Word for inspiration:

Psalm 119:132-135 (NIV)
¹³² Turn to me and have mercy on me, as you always do to those who love your name. ¹³³ Direct my footsteps according to your word; let no sin rule over me. ¹³⁴ Redeem me from the oppression of men, that I may obey your precepts. ¹³⁵ Make your face shine upon your servant and teach me your decrees.

The Word for encouragement:

Mark 10:27 (NIV)
Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God."

My observation:

Living in this world can be a daunting task. Doing so with human resources alone is a mountain that is too high to successfully climb.

The statement that Jesus made to his disciples in our focal verse for today is in reference to eternal life. However, I am so glad that in his response to his disciple's inquiry Jesus went further when he said, "All things are possible with God".

There is no mountain or obstacle you will ever face in your life that is too difficult to climb or overcome if you will turn to God, and allow him to do for you what you cannot do for yourself. The Lord takes delight in leading and guiding his children. If you put your trust in yourself you will fail, but if you put your trust in God he will never fail.

My prayer:

Our Father in heaven, my dear Father, I am so glad for the promises of the word of God that our heavenly Father never fails. Father God, I pray that the gift of faith that you have planted in me will never grow dim or cease to trust in you. Father, may I never forget that with God all things are possible.
