A New Day

Lord, hear my prayer, listen to my cry for mercy; in your faithfulness and righteousness come to my relief.  Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you, I entrust my life. Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground. ~Psalm 141:1,8 &10

What a mighty God we serve!  His love is unfailing,  His love is constant and sure.  He hears our cries for help.  He washes us from our sin and covers us in His righteousness.  

What a blessing it is to know that I can go to my Father and lay it all at His feet.  He extends His grace over me.  He reveals those areas of  my heart where I have allowed the dust of sin to enter in.  He gives me the chance to confess those sins of commission and omission and in His faithfulness He forgives them all (1 John 1:9).

He is a God of second chances.  He longs for us to grow in His righteousness and to experience the freedom that comes from walking in His Spirit and in His truth(2 Corinthians 3:17). Today is a new day.  I have another chance to worship, praise, and obey.  I have another chance to lay down those things that weigh me down and run this race with eagerness and joy(Hebrews 12:1).

The morning is bright and the opportunities that lay before me are endless.  Yesterday is gone and His faithfulness has granted me a new attitude.  He will lead me and He will teach me to do His will. I will walk on level ground(vs 10). My foot will not be shaken and He will keep me from slipping (Psalm 121). He is my God.

Father I thank You for second chances.  Thank you for your grace and mercy.  Thank you for allowing me direct access to You.  Thank You for hearing me when I call and providing the answers that I need for relief.  Thank you for your provision. Thank you for restoring my peace.  My spirit is willing Lord so teach me to do your will and seek your face.  My my faith increase as I trust in You.  You are my God and I love you.
