Ephesians 6:10-20

Daily Meditation:  Ephesians 6:10-20


Ephesians 6:10-20

My  Beloved, without Your strength, Your energy,Your grace, Your courage, Your wisdom, Your guidance and Your leadership I am nothing. I am everything I ought not to be without You.  I need You my Lord - Your know I do and I know I do.  The world uses a myriad ways to distract me from my mission, to veer me from the goal.  Grant me the grace not to be focused on myself but to train my gaze on You and fix it on You.  You  have given me all I need to be victorious.  I lack nothing nothing in You.  You are the Way, You are the Truth and You are Life.  In You I possess these too .

You have planted my feet on the Way by grafting me to Your Body in Baptism.  I live by the Truth of Your Word.  I receive abundant Life through the power of Your Holy Spirit that abides in me.  Strengthen me Beloved.  Help me to overcome my weaknesses by looking to You for all I need.  Your Word provides the Truth, the Wisdom and the Light I need.

My greatest weapon against evil is constant and sustained prayer.  I must call on You always trusting in You to provide all I need.  Keep me alert my Lord lest I fall asleep and be devoured by evil.  May I remember that You who live and reign  in me is greater than the evil that roars  in the world seeking the destruction of souls.

Daily Mass Readings: Romans 4:20-25, Luke 12:13-21, Luke 1:69-75

Romans 4:20-25

"O you of little faith ----.    Be strong in the faith!  Have courage!  Persevere!  You have the power of God in you why then do you think as foolishly as one who  does not know God?  Wake up!  The time of self-indulgence and silliness is over.  If you wish to be My follower, My disciple, You have to stop wallowing in silliness and step up boldly in faith with courage, believing that I have done all I said I would do for I am God."

Luke 1:69-75

"Why do you moan.  I am your Savior and I have won the victory.  You have been saved from the enemy.  I have forgiven you all your sins and in mercy I have drawn you into my eternal Covenant of Love and Life.  I have delivered you from the enemy.  You in turn have to serve me without fear.  You  must be holy and righteous all the days of your life.  TRUST ME!!!"
