Daily Prayer for May 1st, 2020  

HaPpy May, God—thank you! 🙂

I heard the good news about Jesus, listened, and believed. Now, it is you who works in me both to will and for your good pleasure. Therefore, with peace of mind, I enter into your rest. How comforting, thank you, Father!! In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Matthew 11:28 ESV

28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Hebrews 4 ESV

Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us fear lest any of you should seem to have failed to reach it. For good news came to us just as to them, but the message they heard did not benefit them, because they were not united by faith with those who listened. For we who have believed enter that rest, as he has said,

“As I swore in my wrath,
‘They shall not enter my rest,’”

although his works were finished from the foundation of the world.

Philippians 2:12-13 English Standard Version (ESV)

Lights in the World

12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, 13 for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.
