Bible Reading: 2090830

I John 1-5

 

“This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.” I John 1:5

 

Lord, I Thank Thee that I can have confidence that the way in which You lead me is true. I thank Thee that Your light shines on my path, guiding me into the knowledge of Thee. Lord, I pray that You would help me to stand firm in Thy word. I thank Thee that my desire for it is growing and it is becoming something that cannot be overlooked due to a busy schedule. Help me to know Thee as Paul and Moses prayed. Show me Thy countenance and lead me in the way everlasting.

 

“ I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father. I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.” I John 2:13-14

 

Lord, I have been a little child for some time now. My desire is to overcome the wicked one but truly, my skill with the word is wanting. Lord, I desire to know Thy precepts that I may stand in the day of adversity. I desire to be fully clad in the armor of the Spirit that I may withstand in the evil day. Help me to achieve the level of a young man and eventually that of a father; someone who is skilled and has stood by Thee for a great while.
