We live life on earth, as citizens of Heaven on an assignment here on Earth. Our assignment is to bring Heaven on Earth through Jesus Christ, our redeemer. In this process, we get transformed into His image. We know that God created us in His image and His likeness. This is a process of transformation.
We progress in our assignment as we progress into being transformed into His image. Hence, they cover a wide range of canvas as the journey is resplendent and colourful in its variety. You will enjoy reading these, not necessarily agreeing to them – that is not a prerequisite to enjoy it.
This beautiful prayer is inspired from the Psalm 18. Certain verses from the NKJV version of the Bible are selected and given below
The longer version prayer is given towards the bottom of the page as a PDF file. Here is the brief version of the prayer. Pray effectively.
Fear of God is very good and it’s to be desired greatly. Fear of God is the beginning of Wisdom. This is mentioned in the Holy Bible in the Book of Proverbs, Psalms and Job. Fear of God will lead us to obey God’s commandments. This will keep us from making excuses and stepping aside from the will of God expressed in God’s laws and the commandments. We will seek to always please God. I can imagine the wicked ways I could have taken if I had no fear of God. At the same time, I sincerely wish I had more knowledge and awareness of the fear of God, prompting me to follow His commandments more often, from an early age. Only if I had loved God more, I would have spent more time understanding His laws and observed His commands in greater fear and love.
We know from the Bible that fear of man is a snare – it is to be hated and it is to be totally avoided. It restricts us, limits us. Pleasing people I have often become hypocritical. I have missed God’s will and purpose for my life because of fear of man.

What we do not know does not define the absence or presence of anything.
Just because we do not see the sun shining bright, we cannot conclude the sun is dark at night. But often our understanding gets limited by what we perceive, as we as a default limit our understanding to what we see, what we hear. Some of us even after having grown up through school and college, do not choose to re-write the understanding of our mind that the sun shines 24×7 !

If our thinking is flawed in matters that we can understand and perceive, how flawed our thinking can be regarding spiritual matters – matters which are unseen. I wish you would read the prior sentence again and let it sink within you.
