My prayer for the day.
Father, root out of me all that causes sin and works up evil. In your kingdom you will have weeded out all things that cause sin and all who do evil, so even now, let me not be found among them, and let it not be found among me. What is life but a process and perfecting of who we are, the character we have, and the men we will be? So my prayer is that the sins which I give myself too would be forgiven and forgotten, both by You, Oh Lord, and by myself. And that the things which encourage sin in my life would be despised by me, removed from me. Yet I live amongst the world, and know that this can never be fully so. God give me the strength and discipline to remove what I can from my life. Would you also do what you will to remove sin from my life. And what remains, God give me the strength to reject it's temptations and callings of unrighteousness. Let me character be strengthened as such that I may move through this life unaffected by those things which seek to cause sin; which seek to remove us from our closeness with you Father. Build me into a Godly man who would seek to be your's, who belongs to the Father, and seeks after the Son.
Refine me, Oh Lord, as a goldsmith refines craft. Remove the slag, and then polish me until you can see your face reflected in me and you are well pleased with your work. What am I, except Your's?
Thank you for your patience and your love God. I will seek to be a son of the kingdom.
Matthew 13:43 "Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear."
Amen.
Job 23:10 Yet he knows the way I take; when he has tested me, I will come out like gold.
Zechariah 13:2 But who can endure the day when he comes? Who can stand when he appears? For he will be like a refiner's fire, like the soapmaker's lye. 3 He will sit, testing and purifying the silver; he will purify the sons of Levi, refining them like gold and silver, so that they can bring offerings to ADONAI uprightly.
Zechariah 13:9 And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried. They shall call on My Name, and I will answer them; I will say, It is My people; and they shall say, Yahweh my Elohim is my Elohim.
Malachi 3:2 But who can endure the day when he comes? Who can stand when he appears? For he will be like a refiner's fire, like the soapmaker's lye. 3 He will sit, testing and purifying the silver; he will purify the sons of Levi, refining them like gold and silver, so that they can bring offerings to ADONAI uprightly.
Isaiah 48:10 "Look, I have refined you, but not [as severely] as silver; [rather] I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.
Job 23:10 Yet he knows the way I take; when he has tested me, I will come out like gold. 11 My feet have stayed in his footsteps; I keep to his way without turning aside. 12 I don't withdraw from his lips' command; I treasure his words more than my daily food.
