Most Excellent Harmonies

My friends, our thoughts are so powerful.

When we look for the best, not the worst, the things to praise, not the things to complain about, the beautiful, not the ugly, our lives change.

And today I want to challenge you to not only practice that with your circumstances but also with your loved one.

Look for the beautiful and pray that beautiful into their very lives.

August 18, 2023 Our Prayer for Our Loved One today

Philippians 4:8-9 MSG [8-9] Summing it all up, friends, I'd say you'll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious---the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies.

Heavenly Father, we thank you today that you are always good, that you are the giver of all things wonderful. I confess that I often take my eyes off of that truth, that I don’t always see the good in my life or my loved one. Lord, today I ask that I would purpose to fix my eyes on the beautiful and look for the miracles in this day, in this moment. I pray that you would give me those eyes to see the beauty in [our loved one] as well. I praise you for [our loved one] and thank you for [his/her] value, regardless of [his/her] circumstances. Lord, I thank you that you are at work in [his/her] life and that when I see broken or “too far gone” You are just getting started. I trust and believe that You see [our loved one] perfect and worthy of praise. I ask that you move in my life and in [our loved one’s] life to create excellent harmonies today. I pray this in Your Son’s Holy Name. Amen
