There is much in Scripture that adheres to this truth, the inner motive of a truly broken heart that recognizes its own lack and poverty, insufficiency and helplessness before the Lord, is of far greater value to the Father that the outward trappings of the life that appears to be so beautiful to the outward eye, but which can so often conceal an unclean motive and hypocritical heart. Indeed, it is not the sacrificial acts of a man or woman who desires to be pleasing to the Lord that delights His heart, but the one that walks in spirit and truth, the one that dies to the self-life and lives to Christ, the one that looks to Jesus, the one that abides in Christ, the one that can say, "Nothing in my hand I bring, simply to Thy cross I cling." As we make our way in this world that is increasingly corrupt and self-serving, let us take to heart these wise words. Let us honor the Lord with our thoughts, words, and actions, from this day forth. To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice. Our United Prayer:
Loving Father, we do want to please You, but we recognize that simply trusting Your Word, applying it in our lives, and looking to Jesus, is of far greater worth than anything we ourselves can offer You. Keep us low at the Cross, we pray, and keep us broken before You all the days of our lives. In Jesus' name we pray, AMEN. |
Prayer
We are a growing group of people praying daily for and with others. We were led to start an online ministry to deliver what is needed more now than ever, a place where you can go to easily to submit a prayer request or requests involving others to pray for your needs. The Power of Prayer. Matthew 18:20- For where two or more come together in my name, there I am among them. You are never alone in prayer. The Power Of Numbers Praying.
We ask you to pray for this ministry, for its success in helping others in need of prayer. Archives
