People ought to make resolutions. Ministers are no exception. We often, not just at years beginning, set about looking at our lives and evaluate them. This is part of the practice of taking the sacraments. As Paul said, "we ought to examine ourselves" as not to partake in an unworthy manner.
Therefore, as the new year is about to begin I have pondered and considered these following ten items to pray about as a daily petition.
1. That every week I would lead and disciple a person in the saving grace of Christ.
2. To not say anything dumb. Yes, that only wisdom come from my mouth.
3. For personal holiness for the church's sake.
4. That He lead me not into temptation, but deliver me from evil. Thus progress in sanctification.
5. For my thoughts and actions to be redemptive with all people and situations.
6. God minded/centered thinking in everything would become my heart nature.
7. To stop and worship daily.
8. That I measure the success of myself, my church, and "heroes and others" by God's standards.
9. That I be faithful in all endeavors.
10. That joy permeate all things giving God the glory.
