Daily Prayer for August 13th, 2018
Good morning, God—thank You for this Monday!! 🙂
When I heard about Christ, I believed in Him, therefore I am being taught by Him in accordance with the truth that is in Him, with regard to my former way of life. Holy Spirit, help me to put off my old self which falls short of Your glory and put on the new self, created to be like You in true righteousness and holiness. In Jesus name. Amen.
Ephesians 4:17-24 New International Version (NIV)
Instructions for Christian Living
17 So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. 18 They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. 19 Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, and they are full of greed.
20 That, however, is not the way of life you learned 21 when you heard about Christ and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. 22 You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires;23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds; 24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
