Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.
John 17:17 (ESV)
Lord Jesus, thank You for being the type of God Who is not afar off and disconnected, but One Who is intimate with my condition, close at hand, and knows that I am wrestling with. Your Word declares that You were tempted in all ways yet without sin (Hebrews 4:15), and because of this knowledge of what I am going through You are praying for me always and right now (John 17:9, Hebrews 7:24-25).
I confess today that I need You Lord. When things are going well, I need You. When things are going good, I need You. When I am walking in Your way, I need You. When I am stumbling on my path, I need You. There is no time nor situation where I do not need You to come in, hold me in Your arms, and lead me in the path I should go.
So today, sanctify me, Lord Jesus, from the inside out. Purge from me all sin and brokenness that is in my being (Psalm 51:7). Create in me a clean heart (Psalm 51:10). Free me to walk the steps that You have laid before me this day, neither turning to the right nor to the left (Deuteronomy 5:32-33). Show me Your ways, and lead me in Your paths (Psalm 25:4-5). By Your Spirit change my way of thinking and being (Romans 12:2), and enable me to walk with others helping them to find You through my love (1 Peter 4:10). Thank You, Lord, for Your Word, that reminds me of who I am (2 Corinthians 5:17) and Whose I am (Psalm 100:3). Help me to walk in that truth today in Your Name!
