Make this a daily prayer of commitment to your heavenly Father for the New Year, 2017:
I commit my mind to the shelter of the Blood of Jesus, that it shall not wander astray from God’s will. . .my thoughts, that they may be pure and edifying; . . .my desires, that they may be set upon no vain thing; . . .my motives, that my eye might be single for Your glory; . . .my affections, that they might be set upon things above; . . .my imaginations, that I might not be dreamy, but practical; and my flesh, that no harm shall come to my mortal body from the enemy.
You, LORD, Who once gave Your life’s blood for me, will every moment, impart its power to produce results in my life. I trust You to teach me to think about Your blood as You think about it. LORD Jesus, I trust You to work out in me, unceasingly, the full merits of Your blood, so that my whole life may be an uninterrupted abiding in the sanctuary of God’s presence . . . Amen!
