"...be made new in the attitude of your minds..." Ephesians 4:23
Thoughts on Today's Verse by Phil Ware
We cannot renew ourselves on our own. We can guard ourselves against corrupting influences. We can offer ourselves to God and come to discern his will more fully (Romans 12:1-2). Ultimately, however, God himself must do the renewing, not just at the moment when we are saved, but daily. Only God's grace can sustain, empower, and renew us. Let's offer ourselves to him. Then, let's confidently ask for his grace to empower, perfect, and renew us every day! EVERY MOMENT!
My Prayer...
Father, I come to you asking for your grace to make me new in the way I look at things, especially how I view people. Please cleanse my heart and make me new in my mind and my spirit. I want to live each day of this coming year sharing your love, empowered by your Spirit, and aware of your grace.
Help me to focus on allowing You to do a daily work in me that transforms me from who I am to who You want me to be, and help me to allow You to attune my heart to the need of those around me for the Savior. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
