Hallelujah, praise the living God for another day to pray for you all and be used by Him. Today I offer this line from Steve Arterburn.

“We still have a church that would rather look the part of Jesus than act the part of Jesus.”

Ecclesiastes 12:13-14
New American Standard Bible

¹³ The conclusion, when everything has been heard, is: fear God and keep His commandments, because this applies to every person. ¹⁴ For God will bring every act to judgment, everything which is hidden, whether it is good or evil.

Heavenly Father, in the name of our Lord Jesus, Your servant praises and thanks You.  Bless us with a strong desire to live our faith out in obedience rather than outward appearance or word alone. Let our love for You and one another lead us into rejoicing in our service to Your church and its members. Prepare us for the day of judgment by working on our hard hearts until we fully surrender to loving as You have instructed. In Jesus’ name, amen. 

If this prayer blessed you or brought you peace, please share this with someone in need.
