Philippians 1:9-11

"And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ- to the glory and praise of God."

Lots of good stuff in here :) This is a really convicting 3 verses for me, and Lord I pray that you show me your will in these three powerful verses that I may put them into work!

This is how I translate these verses: Lord I pray that from a love for you brings me knowledge and understanding, that I may not fall into temptation but fix my focus on you Lord until my last breath and your victorious day! May all glory go to you and not I, your humble servant! So I'm going to break it down from my translation:

Lord I pray that from a love for you : I need to stop there because this is so important to me! A LOVE FOR GOD ! No matter how many rules I obey, if I don't love God it means nothing! Loving God is your first priority! Famous phrase: Love God, Love others. Notice the order ! Love God and from that love of him, comes love and understanding for others! Not just that but I need to continually pray, not just at meals and before I go to bed, but constantly!

from a love for you brings me knowledge and understanding: From love comes these great gifts of knowledge and understanding!

That I may not fall into temptation: In our world, there is so much sin and temptation - it is crazy how sinful our world has become! But with God and a love for him, I will overcome temptations and keep pure!

But fix my focus on you: So many times I want to focus on me,me,me ! How selfish am I !? My focus should always be on God and bringing glory to him not me! Without God, I would not be sitting in my room, typing on this computer! God should be the center of everything I am!

Until my last breath and your victourious day: It reminds me I am not immortal, one day I will take my final breath, one day God is going to return to judge us all; to take over! Are you ready? I'm not! Loving God and having a relationship with him is a lifelong journey! In this journey, I grow closer to him, I love him more! I pray that with my whole being that I bring praise and glory to God, that I live my life for him!

May all glory go to you and not I, your humble servant!: I can't tell you how many times I can repeat this! ALL GLORY GO TO YOU NOT ME! I AM ONLY YOUR SERVANT! Lord use me as that servant to bring glory to you! Use me in your will!

**Lord I just pray that I will never stop praying! I thank you so much for everything! You created all this and I am sadden that not enough people will know that! I pray that your Glory will shine the brightest in my life and I pray that with every breath I take you will those to bring glory to your Beautiful, merciful, loving, caring, almighty name! Amen!**
