Claiming God’s Protection on Your Calling

Psalm 1:6

The Lord watches over the way of the righteous. (Psalm 1:6) Except there is no one righteous, not even one (Romans 3:10). All have failed to keep his commandments. All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). All have gone astray. Each of us has turned to our own way (Isaiah 53:6).

But God made him who had no sin, to be sin for us, so that in Christ we might have the righteousness of God (2 Corinthians 5:21).

Lord, please watch over my steps. I admit that on my own I have no righteousness, no right to call on you for help, protection, or guidance. Through the righteousness of Christ, though, you draw me into your arms. As I stray from your path, gently lead me back in step with you. Watch over me today and keep me close. In the nature and name of Christ, this I ask. Amen

Claiming God’s Blessings on Your Calling

Joshua 1:7-9

Lord, you have commanded me to be strong, to be courageous. You have commanded me to be careful to obey ALL your Law. “Do not turn from it to the right or to the left. Do this,” you say, “that you may be successful where ever you go!”

Lord, reveal to me the commands I have turned from. Reveal to me my fears, discouraging thoughts. Reveal to me where I have been lazy, sloppy, and careless in obeying your words, the nudge of your Holy Spirit, the example of Christ. Show me where I have veered to the left and left you. Show me where I have gone too far to the right in order to “be right” rather than be loving. Lord, I claim your promise that if I obey you in all things, love you above all others, and allow Jesus to have his will lived out in my life that I will be successful where ever you send me. Amen.

For the Sake of My Holy Name

For the Sake of My Holy Name - Jerzy GoreckiFor the sake of my Holy name … Ezekiel 36:22

For the sake of your Holy name, bless our books. Bless our authors. Bless our editors. Bless all who volunteer to help Christian Devotions Ministries.

I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you. 36:26

Lord, renew my soul, refresh my spirit. Restore my hope and confidence.

I will increase the fruit of the trees and the crops of the fields. 36:30

Father, increase the sales of all LPC books. Cause each book to sell into the hundreds and thousands. Pour out a special blessing on LPC.

Lord, today help me to look for the dots in the past that connected me to you. Help me to see how you worked in my life when I wasn’t watching. Do I attempt what seems impossible? Do I refuse to do what’s obvious? If so, Lord, give me your perspective. Remove my limited view of circumstances. Allow your Spirit to work within me so that I remain in the center of your will.
