Access
The 3rd Day of Christmas
Listen to God’s voice today! Don’t be stubborn and rebel... ~ Psalm 95:7-8 (CEV)
Let the Spirit fill your life... ~ Ephesians 5:18 (CEV)
KEY THOUGHT:
Give God access to your life.
PRAYER:
Loving God, thank you for speaking into my life -- for all of your leading and guiding. I am pretty strong willed and my natural inclination is to live life on my own terms. Fill me with your Holy Spirit so that I sense the value of being more receptive to your leading. I'm going to give you complete unfettered access to my life for the sake of Jesus, who us the good shepherd. Amen.
