Your Nightly Prayer 🙏🏾 Proverbs 22:6
Romans 12:9 [Let your] love be sincere (a real thing); hate what is evil [loathe all ungodliness, turn in horror from wickedness], but hold fast to that which is good.
DEVOTION
Based on Romans 12
This verse calls us to a love that is genuine, untainted by hypocrisy or selfish motives. True love isn’t performative; it flows from a heart transformed by God. Such love naturally leads us to reject evil and hold fast to what is good, aligning our actions and attitudes with God’s righteousness.
Loving sincerely means caring deeply for others, seeking their well-being, and showing grace and compassion. It also means standing firm in God’s truth, rejecting what harms and embracing what uplifts. This balance of love and righteousness reflects God’s character in our lives.
Take a moment tonight to examine your love for others. Breathe out pretense or bitterness, and breathe in sincerity and goodness. Ask God to help you love authentically and align your life with His truth.
A.C.T.S. REFLECTION
ADORATION: Praise God for His pure and unwavering love. Celebrate His example of sincerity and goodness that guides your relationships and actions.
CONFESSION: Reflect on moments when your love has been conditional, insincere, or self-serving. Confess these to God and ask for a heart that mirrors His genuine love.
THANKSGIVING: Thank God for the gift of His transforming love, which teaches you to reject evil and cling to good. Express gratitude for His guidance in helping you live out this command.
SUPPLICATION: Father, teach me to love without hypocrisy. Help me to reject what is harmful and cling to what is good in my thoughts, words, and actions. Let my love reflect Your truth and sincerity, bringing glory to Your name and blessing those around me.
PRAYER
“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”
PROVERBS 22:6
Dear Lord, I know that Your word holds power. Within Your will is the wisdom to live an abundant, fruitful, and fulfilling life. I pray that I would hold fast to Your will and never let go. I pray the same for my children. I want them to cherish Your word and seek it out for nourishment. Give me the wisdom to train them up in Your word, direct their paths, and send them off with confidence. It can be a vulnerable thing to entrust children to the future, but I trust they are in Your hands. I pray this Proverb would be true for their lives – that they wouldn’t depart from the goodness of Your ways. In Jesus’ name, Amen.🙏🏾
