Love worketh no ill to his neighbour:
therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
(Romans 13:10)
God, we claim Your Word that says we did not receive a spirit that makes us a slave again to fear, but we received the Spirit of sonship. And by Him we cry, "Abba, Father". Help us to cry out unashamedly to You, our Father, when we are gripped by fear. This kind of fear is not of You! Victorious God, we thank You that the weapons with which we fight are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we choose to take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ! Amen
Tuesday Prayer
Amen to your prayer for Our American Heroes and For Our Nation.
My car broke down in a tunnel during rush hour in downtown Boston. Angry drivers expressed their frustration as they struggled past me. Eventually, the car was towed to a station for repairs. Later it broke down again, stranding me along the Interstate at 2 a.m. Back to the shop it went.
Unfortunately, the repair shop also doubled as a parking lot during Red Sox baseball games. When I arrived after work the next day to pick up my car, it was hemmed in by 30 other vehicles!
Lets just say I was less than Christlike in my initial reaction. I ranted and raved, and then, realizing it was only making them less willing to help me at the close of their day, I decided to give up. I stormed toward the glass doors and struggled to get them open. My anger increased when the station workers laughed at me.
I had barely made it out when I realized how unlike Christ Id been. Chastened, I rapped on the locked doors and mouthed Im sorry to the staff inside. They were stunned! They let me back in, and I meekly told them that Christians shouldnt behave as I had. Minutes later, they were shifting cars to free up mine. I learned the truth that soft rather than harsh words can change circumstances (Prov. 15:1).
Read: Proverbs 15:1-4
