HAVE YOU TRULY EVALUATED YOURSELF?

Father, praise your holy name for this marvelously blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your agape love.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to give you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, all the glory for always loving, covering, protecting, guiding, healing, restoring, and renewing them.

Although they fall short of your glory daily, your love for them never dissipates. Although they know your holy word and choose to do the opposite, you continuously forgive, provide, and guide.

Father, help all to evaluate themselves wholeheartedly to determine who they are truly serving. Moreover, help them to understand that tomorrow is never promised.

“1) Did I fill my mind with spiritual thoughts and refrain from distractions when I began the day?

2) Have I set aside time for prayer and fostered a prayerful spirit, or have I given way to distractions and laziness?

3) Have I lived today prepared for Christ’s second coming, or have I forgotten to watch for his return?

4) Have I walked by faith and remembered God throughout the day?”
~ Desk of Daniel J. Pentimone

“Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves—that Jesus Christ is in you, unless indeed you fail to meet the test?”
2 Corinthians 13:5
