The Mind Of Christ

I often pray over my mind. I pray that God will give me a sound mind and fill me with the mind of Christ. I Corinthians 2: 16 says, “For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ.” When I meditate on that scripture, I think of Christ’s wisdom and discernment. I think of His boldness in confronting evil. However, it came to me so clearly, that the mind of Christ is actually  the mind of The Father. 

Jesus said that He obeys the will of The Father Who sent Him. John 5:19 says, “Then Jesus answered and said to them, Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.’” So my prayer has changed a bit. I pray for the mind of Christ, that I would obey the will of The Father. That I would do what my Heavenly Father is doing, just as Christ. 

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You for giving me the mind of Christ, through His sacrifice on The Cross and through Your Holy Spirit. I ask You, Holy Spirit, to work in my heart, the fruit of faithfulness, to obey the will of my Father in heaven.
