14For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, 15from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name, 16that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man, 17so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God.

Written prayer from "A Diary of Private Prayer" by John Baillie
Day Fifteen, Morning

O God, you are alive from eternity to eternity. You are not just at one time or in one place, because all times and places are in you. I long to understand my destiny as a child of yours. Here I stand, weak and mortal amid the immensities of nature. But blessed are you, O Lord God, for you have made me in your own likeness, and you have breathed into me the breath of your own life. Within this fragile body you have set a spirit that can relate to your own Spirit. Within this perishable being you have planted what cannot perish, and within this mortal, immortality. So from this little room and this early hour I can lift up my mind beyond all time and space to you, the uncreated One, until the light of your face illuminates my whole life. 

Let me remember that my mortal body is only the servant of my immortal soul; let me remember how uncertain my hold is on my own physical life; Let me remember that here I have no continuing city, but only a place for a brief stay, and a time for testing and training; let me use this world without abusing it; let me be in this world but not of it; let me be as though I have nothing, and yes possess everything; let me understand the vanity of what is time bound and the glory of the eternal; let my world be entered not in myself, but in you, 

Almighty God you raised your Son from the dead and set him at your right hand in everlasting glory.thank you for this hope of immortality with which, through many ages, you have cheered and enlighten the souls of your people; a hope which you have made secure through our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Pastor Matt Murphy wraps up the daily podcast. Stay tuned for a weekly podcast and new content.

Scripture Reading

James 4:1, 6-7

1What is the source of quarrels and conflicts among you? Is not the source your pleasures that wage war in your members?

6But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, “God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” 7Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
