Praying the Scripture Through LentExemple

My Life

What controls you? Is it ambition, power, wholeness? Or is it the love of Jesus?

His love doesn’t just touch us but fills us and changes us. Every time we picture the cross, we can remind ourselves that we were worth dying for. We can also remind ourselves that there’s a whole world out there who doesn’t know Jesus yet. The fruit borne in our lives by the Holy Spirit’s work is what they will experience. May our fruit draw many to Jesus.

Use these verses to worship and adore Him for who He is, what He’s done, and ask Him to help you live a life that pleases Him and brings Him glory. Read the scriptures as prayers of worship, thanksgiving, and supplication, believing that there is power in every declaration.

2 Corinthians 5:14 ESV

For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died;

1 Corinthians 1:18 NLT

The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God.

Galatians 5:22-23 NLT

But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!
