40 Days of Prayer Day Day 29 “Living Heaven’s Mindset”

11 Days Till Pentecost

“Whenever our hearts make us feel guilty and remind us of our failures, we know that God is much greater and more merciful than our conscience, and He knows everything there is to know about us. My delightfully loved friends, when our hearts don’t condemn us, we have a bold freedom to speak face-to-face with God. And whatever we ask of Him we receive, because we keep His commands. And by our beautiful intentions we continue to do what brings pleasure to Him. So these are His commands: that we continually place our trust in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and that we keep loving one another, just as he Has commanded us. For all who obey His commands find their lives joined in union with Him, and He lives and flourishes in them. We know and have proof that He constantly lives and flourishes in us, by the Spirit He has given us” (1 John 3: 20 – 24 TPT).

God, help me bear witness to righteousness today so that I may understand Your truth. Help me see people the way You see them, and not the way I do. Help me to live heaven’s mindset and not my own. When I stumble and fall help me to fall into Your abundant grace and goodness. Bring me back into right standing with You and with right thinking about others and the world around me. Help me understand the trials I go through are not just about me, about what I feel; but an opportunity to shine Christ into other’s lives in times of great difficulties. May my dependence on You be so great that nothing on Earth can take Your place, ever.

Amen
