Daily Prayer for June 14th, 2018
Good morning, God—thank You. :o)
Jesus’ death crowns His atoning sufferings that satisfied Your wrath against we who believe—He is upright and perfect! Holy Spirit, flesh against Spirit, in His righteousness, let me not be wise in my own eyes or turn away from the moral truth. Let me love the way You love, and be merciful, just as You are merciful. In Jesus name. Amen.
Matthew 5:43-44 New International Version (NIV)
Love for Enemies
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you
Luke 6:27-28 New International Version (NIV)
27 “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
Luke 6:35-36 New International Version (NIV)
35 But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. 36 Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
2 Peter 1:5-8 New International Version (NIV)
5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7 and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. 8 For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Galatians 5:17 New International Version (NIV)
17 For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other so that you are not to do whatever you want.
