Romans 12: 1 – 2
12 I appeal to you therefore, brothers,[a] by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. 2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
When we come before God in prayer, we are coming before Him in worship. We are presenting ourselves to Him. We are submitting to Him our bodies as a living sacrifice. We are His and His alone.
The world will try to stop you from following Jesus. False theologies, teachings, and preachers will come with the idea that God is there for you, not you for Him. God’s Word must be in our lives so that we know His will, which is perfect and good. We will be different from the world. That is the way it is supposed to be.
This day, as you pray, present yourself to Him. Leave the worldly thinking behind and focus on His will, His Word, His Son.
