Good morning, here is today's prayer...
Good morning my Father God.
As I look forward to this day, I want to start by thanking You for all of the blessings that You have given to me...

The LORD is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
Psalms 23:1

Thank You for the little things that I so often take for granted, like having food, clothing and shelter; being able to work; being able to get up out of bed.

Please keep me focused on what is truly important today, as Jesus told us...
Therefore do not worry, saying,
‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’
or ‘What shall we wear?’...
For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
But seek first the kingdom of God
and His righteousness,
and all these things shall be added to you.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow...
Matthew 6:31-34

Lord Jesus, help me to remember these words of Yours and to not worry about anything today.
I will seek Your Kingdom first and always, come rule in my life and in my heart and in my mind.
I praise You, God, and give You all the glory, for who You are and for the great things that you have done.

In the holy name of Jesus I pray,
Amen.

The Holy Spirit: The Spirit of Your Father

But when they deliver you up,
do not worry about how
or what you should speak.
For it will be given to you in that hour
what you should speak;
for it is not you who speak,
but the Spirit of your Father
who speaks in you.

Matthew 10:19-20

Just as you have a spirit that is the intrinsic nature of who you are, so the Spirit of Your Father in Heaven has the same nature as the heavenly Father yet is a separate Person from the Father. The Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Godhead and is the Spirit of the Father. The Father sends the Holy Spirit to do His work. When you are persecuted, the Holy Spirit will indwell you to help you. When you don’t know what to say to your oppressors, the Holy Spirit will speak through you. The Spirit of Your Father will give you “in that hour what you should speak” (Matthew 10:19).

Holy Spirit, I trust You to help me in my hour of trial. Help me to glorify the Father in all that I endure.
The Holy Spirit was sent by the Father to give you boldness to speak when people reject your testimony. He will give you wisdom to know what to say and when to say it. At times, He will give you soft words that turn away wrath (Proverbs 15:1) and, at other times, stinging words to convict of sin. But most of all, He will give you convincing words that will sink deep in the hearts of your listeners. The Holy Spirit will not speak of Himself; He will glorify Christ (John 16:13).

Holy Spirit, fill my life with Your presence. Put words in my mouth that I need to speak, and use my testimony for Your glory. Amen.

Go Deeper: Matthew 10:5-42

The Holy Spirit will give you what to say when you are persecuted for your faith.
