Good morning Jesus
Lord, You desire all who place their trust in You to succeed. Your outline for success is clearly explained in Your Word (Psalm 1:1–3). The definition of godly ‘success’ is polar-opposite of the worlds’ view of success. Fame, wealth, pleasure, more ‘toys’ than the next guy, the biggest house just leads to wanting more stuff. Many of these things are not bad in and of themselves, but when accumulating material ‘things’ becomes a priority, they leave us unsatisfied, always wanting more. Without doubt, You desire and will help Your followers succeed in meeting their family’s physical needs and nurture their spiritual needs to seek a relationship with You. As Your follower, to You our greatest success is when we’re faithful in biblical obedience and aspire to develop more Christlike character in us
We pray for mercy for the poor souls whose lives have gone up in smoke in the wildfires out west. In their distress, draw them close to Your heart. For Your followers, be the Great I AM they need You to be. And for those who have never given You a second thought, remove their blinders to reveal Your grace to give them a new lease on life. Protect and strengthen all who are on the front line, battling these fires. As only You can, Lord, bring good out of these tragedies.
Living in success with You, Jesus, amen.
