Just for fun tonight, let's review our verses in reverse subject order, most recent first! Maybe I'm wanting to do this because I'm loving dwelling on these promises and I just want to say them first...anyway, let's start with the Promises, then Praise, Assurance, and finish up with the Gift of Prayer:

Matthew 6:33 But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. (ESV)
Romans 8:28 We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God: those who are called according to His purpose.
Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
1 John 1:7 - But if we walk in the light, as He Himself is in the light, then we have fellowship with one another and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.

1 John 1:9 - If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

What a wonderful journey we are on. I am gaining knowledge of God's Word and growing deeper still in my relationship with Christ. When we repent and ask for forgiveness we are recognizing the disobedience in our lives. It pleases God as we learn and improve our Christian discernment. God will bring righteousness to our soul. He loves and forgives us over and over again. I bring to Him each day my inequities and ask for His forgiveness. Christ is speaking to me and showing me the path to His heart.
