Make Me Clean!
1 John 1:9 - “But God is faithful and fair. If we admit that we have sinned, he will forgive us our sins. He will forgive every wrong thing we have done. He will make us pure.”
Matthew 5:8 - “Blessed are those whose hearts are pure. They will see God.”
Today’s Helpful Thought: A fast is a time of giving something up to show God how much you love Him and choosing to spend lots of time with Him instead. It’s the start of a new time in life, new things and a new year. New beginnings are wonderful, but sometimes scary. When you ask God to be with you and help you in the new things, He will help you and make you strong. When God makes you strong, then you will be able to do everything He wants you to. You’ll be able to help people all around you; at school, at church, at home, with your friends, everywhere you go. Jesus has special things just for you to do! And He will help you do them! Don’t be scared; do your very best with Jesus!
Today’s Prayer: Dear God, please be in charge of my life! I want the year to go the way You want it to! Please show me the things in my life that don’t make You happy. I am so sorry for anything I have done that has made you sad. Take away all of the bad things in my life and make me clean inside. Please show me what is true and how You want me to live. Help me to live life the way You want me to. Help me to be strong and be able to get through hard times everyday this year. Thank You, Jesus. Amen.
Today’s Time to Think: Here are some things in my life that would not make Jesus happy. Because Jesus loves me and makes me strong, I am going to work on not doing them anymore.
