Bible Verse Reflection
The world is not easy and our life is short, but we make choices every single day through the relationships we build and in the activities we take on. We should be sure that the choices that we make as well as the actions that we engage in are well-thought out and we know that Christ remains the main strand of every relationship, and is our eternal source of wisdom in all our choices.
My Prayer
Heavenly Father I ask that I will always seek Your presence in every interaction in my life and seek Your direction with every decision I make. Stop me from being lured into a worldly lifestyle or for the unreal values that life offers. Thank God for the Word of Truth and the wisdom it carries as well as help me take the lessons that life has to teach me by keeping my eyes on Jesus.
Let me stand strong and remain true to my convictions, stand firm against the forces of evil, keep the unity of spirit, and be a part of a covenant that is peaceful, and not be victim to a different outlook or an unwholesome outlook. This is what I pray in Jesus powerful name. Amen.
