Psalm 143:10
Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
What of Today’s Verse…
We want the Spirit to be at work in us to make us like Jesus. For this to happen, we must open our heart to the will of God. There are no greater words God wants to hear than “teach me to do your will.” That is what it means for him to be God, to have control over our life and our will.
Â
Let us Pray:
Almighty God, I want you to truly be God in my life. I renounce any attempt on my part to try to manipulate or use your grace and kindness for my benefit. I submit my will to yours. But Holy Father, I confess that I struggle at times with my own selfish and evil desires that lead me astray. Please forgive me when my heart is cold and my ears are deaf to your will. Please, take control of my life today. Through Jesus my Lord, I ask you to assert your will as God in my life. Amen.’

Affirmations
I am fulfilling the higher purpose that God is leading me to express.
Affirmations are powerful statements of truth that proclaim the presence and power of God in all and for all. God-centered thoughts transform my mind and body, my perceptions and actions.
Â
I practice the presence of God by focusing on God. I affirm: Thy will be done, and my way of thinking is transformed. Instead of focusing solely on my material wants and needs, I am fulfilling the higher purpose that God leads me to express.
Â
I consciously affirm divine power and presence as I center my mind on God within. Then softly or silently, I repeat an affirmation until it becomes imprinted on my heart. Affirmations repeated become reality as they replace false beliefs with spiritual truths. My mind is illumined so that I have a strong and vital consciousness of God’s loving presence.
“Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.” –Matthew 6:10
