2 Peter 1:3
His
divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness
through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and
goodness.
Good and Glorious God,
Thank
You for ideally forming me in Your image, and personally calling and
equipping me to live a godly life. As I spend time getting to know You,
teach me Your rich and wonderful truths. By Your divine power, I will
follow them to escape the decadent evil desires of the world and live
humbly and honestly before You and mankind.
It
is not enough to believe IN You. I must KNOW You intimately and BELIEVE
You. I need to urgently begin applying Your principles to my heart and
mind so that I'll be morally excellent. The more familiar I am with You,
the easier it will be to stay alert and self-controlled in strenuous
situations. I'll be pleasantly surprised by the persistent patience You
give me to persevere through painful problems. Your radical love, will
inspire me to be genuinely warm and welcoming to both desirable and
despicable people. Exhibiting these fine qualities in my life, I'll be
more productive and useful in Your royal service.
I
promise to work hard to learn everything I can about You. Please
continue to tenderly teach me until I unmistakably understand. I want my
lifestyle to prove to the watching world that I am the child You called
and equipped in glory, goodness and grace.
With
great anticipation and heavenly hope, I look forward to the rich
reception I'll receive when I walk through the pearly gates of Your
everlasting Kingdom to live happily ever after with You because of
Jesus. Amen.
Do
you have a burning desire to know God? How much time will you spend
with Him today? You can't imitate His glory and goodness, if you don't
know Him intimately.
