I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.
1 Timothy 2:1-2 NIV
https://bible.com/bible/111/1ti.2.1-2.NIV
Holy Spirit, I thank you for today! I truly want to know your heart today. I want to be your vessel and live for you. Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be pleasing to you.
Psalm 19:14 King James Version (KJV)
14 “Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.“
Let me live unto you not unto men. Let me be concerned only with what you want me to do. I only want to please you my God! Forgive me for my evil heart of wanting to be seen by man. I know this desire to be approved by man is in ALL of humanity but we must choose to go lower and truly allow Galatians 2:20 to work in our lives. Purify my heart that I may see you oh my God. I surrender my heart and flesh to you daily to be molded in your hands oh my God.
Jeremiah 18 Easy-to-Read Version (ERV)
The Potter and the Clay
18 This is the message that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: 2 “Jeremiah, go down to the potter’s house. I will give you my message there.”
3 So I went down to the potter’s house and saw him working with clay at the wheel. 4 He was making a pot from clay. But there was something wrong with the pot. So the potter used that clay to make another pot. With his hands he shaped the pot the way he wanted it to be.
5 Then this message from the Lord came to me: 6 “Family of Israel, you know that I can do the same thing with you. You are like the clay in the potter’s hands, and I am the potter.”
