Father, I feel that You want me to read scripture before prayer:
(Col. 3:1-17) “—Seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.”
“Seek intimate relationship with our Father, and don’t waste excessive time and energy on worldly pursuits.
Diligently practice righteous, Godly relationships with others as; love, compassion, humble attitudes, unselfish behavior, forgiveness and patience with others, as a peacemaker.
Study, meditate on, and put into practice the word of God. Let Christ’s words saturate our thoughts with wisdom, teaching, uplifting others with all forms of praise and worship in our heart for the Lord”.
“And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
