We are beginning this year with 21 days of focus on God for 2021. Make the most of these 21 days by building consistency and a healthy dependency on Jesus.
Partipate with the Daily Focus. Have a set time/place to spend with God. Set a reminder on your phone a few times throughout the day to keep your prayer focus. Memorize a Verse/Theme Verse for this year. Journal your thoughts and prayers.
TODAY'S FOCUS
God is our Savior
I will be aware of my own temptations.
BIBLE PASSAGE FOR TODAY
"And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one" - Matthew 6:13
"When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; 14 but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. 15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death." - James 1:13-15
PRAYER FOR TODAY
"God, would you open my eyes my ears, my heart, and my mind to the ways I am tempted to fall into sin and to lose focus on you. And would you protect me from the Evil One who tries to pull my focus off of you."
"God, today I was tempted (fill in the blank). Would you, by your Spirit, strengthen me to not yield to this temptation and to remain focused on you."
JOURNAL
Note the many ways you're tempted to take your focus off of God. Write about what they may have in common or what the deeper issue may be. Then pray that God would overcome those temptations.
