Friday Morning Prayer

April 27, 2007

“1 Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, and of instruction about washings, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. And this we will do if God permits.” (Hebrews 6:1-3)

Father, You have called us to press on to maturity; to move on from being infants in Christ to mature manhood.  Yet without Your enabling power, we can do nothing.  Growth in holiness is something that we must strive for, yet it something that only You can give.  So help us on this day, Father, to be more conformed to the image of Your Son.  Grant us the grace to make tough choices, speak tough words, and crucify the indwelling corruption that remains within us, in order that Christ might be seen and glorified through our lives.
