Daily Prayer for April 17th, 2018

Good morning, God—thank you! :o)

My efforts to redeem myself/me only bring to fruition vanity and affliction. I then humanize grace. But with trust in You as my source of strength and wisdom, I’m like a tree planted by streams of water whose leaves never wither. Without You, I can do nothing, but with You, everything I do prospers. What is impossible with me/man is possible with You, because with You, all things are possible! In Jesus name. Amen.

Ecclesiastes 2:11 NIV

11 Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done
and what I had toiled to achieve,
everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind;
nothing was gained under the sun.

Psalm 1:3 NIV

BOOK I

Psalms 1–41

Psalm 1

Blessed is the one
who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
or sit in the company of mockers,
but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,
and who meditates on his law day and night.

That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither—
whatever they do prospers.

Luke 18:27 NIV

27 Jesus replied, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”

Mark 10:27 NIV

27 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man, this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.”
