Prayer For Tomorrow

Wednesday, December 31, 2025

Good morning, Lord

Father in Heaven, I seek You first-the knowledge of Your kingdom and Your righteousness. Fill my consciousness constantly and complete Your joy in me as I take up my cross and follow...In Jesus' name…

Memory verse: Psalm 27:13-14 (NIV)

“I remain confident of this, I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.”

Verse of the day: Isaiah 43:18-19

16 Thus says the Lord, who makes a way in the sea, a path in the mighty waters, 18 “Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. 19 Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.”

Today’s reading: Malachi 1-4 Revelation 22

Prayer For Tomorrow

Philippians 3:13 "Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."

New year's resolution? No-no more empty thoughts about losing weight or saving money or 'doing better'. Set healthy goals, yes-But...

If you do anything, write down a prayer you will see everyday and pray everyday.

My suggestion is that we pray for our Mighty God to increase our resolve to take up our own individual crosses everyday and really find out what obedient and righteous living in Christ Jesus is.

Not a resolution-but a prayer to increase our resolve-to forget what is behind-what-not whom-forget the 'whats' and forgive the 'whom'. Pray for the Holy Spirit to open to you(us) His world of acceptance and rid us of unholy attitudes of judgment and condemnation. Pray that along with our brothers and sisters, we reach new heights of joy in Christ. Pray for a real depth in our hallowing of God's name.

Isaiah 43:16

16 The Lord says—who makes a way in the sea

    and a path in the mighty waters,

Paul said, "...straining toward what is ahead..."

No, tomorrow is not a guarantee-life in Jesus is- regardless of what happens on this earth.

Straining means 'stretching forward'. Paul wanted us to hear the urgency and excitement in His heart about what God has in store for us next.

Strain-stretch-expect joy and power and miraculous life Christ has for us-either here or with Him in paradise.

Pray for more resolve to really stretch...

...because He loves us...

Father in Heaven,

You make a way in the sea and a path in the mighty waters. Let Your kingdom be known deeply and let me strain for obedience to You. Give me Your bread for Your work. Forgive me my weak resolve and lead me away from weak thoughts.

Mighty God who rides above the desert,

In the name of Christ Jesus,

Amen
