Speaker 3: Welcome to your meditative prayer on staying on track. To get the most out of your spiritual journey, use Pray.com every day and make prayer a priority in your life. Our goal for today's meditative prayer is staying on track. Slow down and take a minute to gather yourself. Find a relaxed environment that will allow you to ponder and reflect. Now, as you take captive every thought, turn your focus toward God's Word. Allow your spirit to reach out to the presence of the Lord. Prepare your heart to be filled with God's mighty presence and open your mind to receive His Holy Word. We will be meditating on 1 Corinthians chapter 6, verses 19 through 20. from the King James Version. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. Let your worship rise up to God. God, I praise you for gifting me with your Holy Spirit. I give you my adoration, for only you are just and righteous. Goodness and grace are found in you alone. I worship you for the gift of salvation, for the price you paid for my soul. I extol you, for you teach wisdom and love, and your ways are righteous and true. Be careful of your actions. Know that you belong to God. and God lives in you. Your body is to be sanctified, set apart, and not to engage in sin. As God's Spirit indwells your body, you are to be careful of where you go and what you do. Your actions can draw you near to God or take you far away from Him. Everything you do, it is done before God. He sees all. and suffers through what we do that is against Him. When you sow into your flesh, you reap destruction. When you sow into the Spirit, you reap life. God puts before you life and death. It is in your hands to choose what you want to live out. Christ paid a high price for your soul, and God gave you free will. You choose whether you bring glory to God with your body or not. Think for a moment on what is currently being nurtured within you. Take this time to reach out to God. Confess to the Holy Spirit all your negative thoughts and emotions. Hand them to Him. Now, consider all of God's wisdom and thank Him for it. Thank the Lord for His Word that never fails you. Thank God that His teachings are for good, for the improvement of your life and the life of those around you. Thank Him for keeping your heart safe. Give thanks to God for all the times in the past He made you righteous, for those times He filled you with His joy and truth. Never forget, God is present and He is listening to you. Come before Him. and ask Him to fill you with faith and wisdom, to give you the ability to lead a life of righteousness and truth. Ask God to remove all folly and foolishness from your thoughts. Ask Him to guard your heart from arrogance and pride, to help you to not walk in the flesh, but according to His Spirit. Ask the Holy Spirit to lead you by His Word, to help you not be swayed by ungodly desires. Remember, you should know that your body is a temple for the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is in you, for you have received the Holy Spirit from God. You do not own yourself, for you were bought by God for a price. So honor God with your body. Make good choices concerning what you do and where you go. Apply this principle to your life. and watch God's goodness be manifested in your life and in your relationship with Him. Thank you for completing today's meditative prayer on Pray.com. By incorporating this healthy habit as a daily practice, you are making prayer a priority and strengthening your walk with God.
