Daily Devotional – 9/20/11 “I’m Not Worthy, But You Still!”

I woke up this morning with my mind, but I didn’t say thank you Jesus.  You didn’t have to bless me but you did and yet I still didn’t say thank you! You didn’t have to raise me but you did and I still didn’t say thank you!

Lord, you don’t have to love me but you do! You don’t have to keep me, but you do. In spite of my wrongdoings, you are here.  In spite of my lying tongue, you’re still here.  In spite of my mean ways, you’re still here. When I’m too selfish to give thanks, you still put breath in my body.  When I’m too lazy to give you praise on Sunday morning, you still give me strength in my body.  When folk do me wrong, you give me peace.  When they speak death over me, you give me life.  When I don’t feel worthy, you bless me still. When am I bound by the troubles of this world, you release the shackles.  When my tears won’t stop falling, you give me joy.  When my body aches with pain & sickness, you send healing! When my flesh is weak, you make me strong. When temptation comes, you give me courage to resist it!

When I’m broke, you’re still Jesus! When I’m down, you’re still Jesus! When I’m alone, you’re still Jesus.  When I’m up, you’re Jesus! When I don’t take the time to pray, you’re still here.  When I’m too busy to hear your voice, you are still here.  When I’m judged by the world, you remove the burdens from my shoulders.  When I can’t see my way, you’ll place a light on my path.  When I feel like I can’t go on, you carry me! Lord, you don’t ever leave me.

JESUS! JESUS! Power in the name! Jesus, healing in the name! Jesus, deliverance in the name! Jesus, I’m not worthy of your grace but you still! I’m not worthy of your mercy but you still! I’m not worthy of your healing, but you still! I’m not worthy of your blessings, but you still!  Jesus! Thank you for washing me in your blood! Thank you for making me new! Thank you for bringing me through my storm! Thank you for loving me! Thank you for covering me! Thank you for wiping my tears, for giving me sleep on my restless nights, for giving me food when I’m hungry! Lord, I know I’m not worthy but you still!

Heavenly Father, I thank you today. God, someone is reading this and their heart is troubled. I don’t know why, but I know that you do. God, I ask that you touch them right now. Send deliverance into their life. God someone is looking for confirmation to a decision or situation. Send deliverance now! Someone is dealing with some things that seem hopeless, but Oh God I know that you are able to send calm in the midst of a storm. Someone got bad news from a doctor but you can send healing before any medicine is given. Someone got fired or laid off from their job, but I know that you, God, is a provider. Someone is dealing with the death of a love one, send rest to their weary mind today. God, do it right now. I know that I am just a vessel sharing your word but I ask that you touch my head, heart, mind, body & soul, so that I may continue to be a vessel for you. God anoint me with your blood, have your way in my life.  Whatever path you set before me, I am ready! God bless the person reading this so that they may share your word with others. 

In your name I pray, Amen!
