Change the Way you Think
Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. – Romans 12:2

My Recap Prayer (Pray for your husband and children as well)
Lord, with the apt assistance of Jesus, my Savior, and the Holy Spirit, my guide, I choose to seek to move towards walking in Your perfect will daily. Help me, I pray, to select, even today, what is good, pleasing, and perfect in Your sight.
Holy Spirit, I give you permission to teach me. Please show me how to starve and kill my carnal mind. Instruct me as to how I can be spiritually minded at all times. Help me, Lord! Please give me an even greater thirst for the knowledge and understanding of Your Word. Thank You that I can call You Abba Father; I can look to You for my every need and desire. I love You.
Loving Father, though the thief is purposed on stealing, killing, and destroying my life, thank You that You have a far different plan for me. Thank You that each and every day, I can choose to glean until I’m full to capacity, from Your abundant life, full and plentiful. And this is, indeed, my choice today. I choose to harvest from Your rich pasture.
Help me to remember Your everyday faithfulness to me. Set off an alarm in my heart that reminds me that nothing is impossible with You – that You can do anything! Stir in me an authentic comprehension of the truth of Your Word: that You still bring “dead” things back to life and create new things out of nothing. Thank You for the tremendous privilege of being Your child. Thank You that, because I believe in You, You are doing miraculous things in my life.
O God, I seriously call on You for help! Help me not to become worn-out in doing what is good. May I always remember that when no one else sees me, You do. Thank You for the plentiful harvest only You can give. Thank You for giving me Your Word as a powerful tool to keep me on the right track. Push me every day – even when I’m lazy – to meditate on Your Word. For Your Word is the blueprint for my life. Thank You for loving me so much that You desired to give it to me to light my darkened path and show me which way to go. Please motivate and constantly move me to hide it in my heart – to meditate in it – to apply it to my daily life. I truly appreciate this awesome roadmap You’ve given me. Thank You for the command to seek You above all and to live righteously. Without Your tender guidance, I would certainly go astray all too often. I humbly ask for Your shepherding wisdom to strengthen my determination. And gracious Lord, thank You so much for providing everything I need.
Abba Father, I am so finite, hardened, and stubborn. Please aid me in wholly trusting You, since I have come to grips with the fact that my understanding is so flawed. Push me to depend on Your astute insight. And Father, I want to seek Your will in all that I do. Help me to stop being so self-centered and me-focused.
Faithful Lord, Your Word in Isaiah 43:19 deposits and infuses a fresh new hope in the arid and dry places of my very being. I am so grateful that I can look to You to make a way through the dense thicket and create rivers in my parched desert lands. O, Father, I ask that You turn my eyes to You so that I can clearly see the transforming work You are doing in my life – changing the way I think. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
