BE STILL IN GOD’S PRESENCE, even though countless tasks clamor for your attention. – ROMANS 12 : 2, REVELATION 2 : 4, COLOSSIANS 1 : 27

https://youtu.be/lrTNXayPbPM

“BE STILL IN GOD’S PRESENCE, even though countless tasks clamor for your attention. Nothing is as important as spending time with GOD. While you wait in The LORD’S Presence, GOD does HIS best work within you: transforming you by the renewing of your mind. If you skimp on this time with GOD, you may plunge headlong into the wrong activities, missing the richness of what The LORD has planned for you. Do not seek GOD primarily for what HE can give you. Remember that GOD, The Giver, is infinitely greater than any gift GOD might impart to you. Though GOD delight in blessing HIS children, The LORD is deeply grieved when HIS blessings become idols in their hearts. Anything can be an idol if it distracts you from GOD as your First Love. When GOD is the ultimate Desire of your heart, you are safe from the danger of idolatry. As you wait in The LORD’S Presence, enjoy the greatest gift of all: Christ in you, the hope of Glory!”

Scripture

Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. ROMANS 12 : 2

Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love. REVELATION 2 : 4

To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. COLOSSIANS 1 : 27

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, help me to be still in Your Presence, setting aside the distractions that clamor for my attention. Renew my mind as I wait with You, teaching me to value the Giver above every gift You provide. May You always be my First Love and the ultimate desire of my heart

Psalms‬ ‭52 : 8‬

“But I am like an olive tree, thriving in the house of God. I will always trust in God’s unfailing love.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭52 : 8‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Most of the time we can be our worst critics, we judge ourselves according to the world’s standards but in reality this is how we are viewed by our Heavenly Father. Today’s prayer is that we would realize we can never be perfect by the world’s standards (which is OK) but we will always be perfect in God’s eyes …… Be Blessed and shed the condemnation

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new 2 Corinthians 5 : 17

WAITING ON GOD means directing your attention to GOD in hopeful anticipation of what The LORD will do. – LAMENTATIONS 3 : 24 – 26, ISAIAH 40 : 31, PSALM 16 : 11

https://youtu.be/7RkPvI31JpE

“WAITING ON GOD means directing your attention to GOD in hopeful anticipation of what The LORD will do. It entails trusting GOD with every fiber of your being, instead of trying to figure things out yourself. Waiting on The LORD is the way HE designed you to live: all day, every day. GOD created you to stay conscious of HIM as you go about your daily duties. GOD has promised many blessings to those who wait on HIM: renewed strength, living above one’s circumstances, resurgence of hope, awareness of HIS continual Presence. Waiting on GOD enables you to glorify GOD by living in deep dependence on HIM, ready to do HIS will. It also helps you to enjoy GOD; in GOD’S Presence is fullness of Joy.”

I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.” The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD. LAMENTATIONS 3 : 24 – 26

But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. ISAIAH 40 : 31

You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore. PSALM 16 : 11 (NKJV)

Prayer: Lord help me to trust you with every fiber of my being and depend on you moment by moment. Teach me to stay conscious of Your Presence, surrendering my need to figure everything out and put my trust and hope in your will and plan. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭13 : 5

“But I have trusted in Your mercy; My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭13 : 5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Sometimes it’s hard to grasp the mercy of God, we fail daily but the Lord is right there to pick us up and put us back on the straight path. Our salvation is our everything and we need to thank the Lord daily. Today’s prayer is when we miss the mark and fall into sin we understand our counselor is right there waiting with arms wide open, repent and ask for guidance ……. Be Blessed

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new 2 Corinthians 5 : 17

LET THANKFULNESS TEMPER ALL YOUR THOUGHTS. – 1 CORINTHIANS 10 : 10, HEBREWS 12 : 28 – 29, 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 18

https://youtu.be/_5iCq-pw9aM

“LET THANKFULNESS TEMPER ALL YOUR THOUGHTS. A thankful mind-set keeps you in touch with GOD. GOD hates it when HIS children grumble, casually despising HIS sovereignty. Thankfulness is a safeguard against this deadly sin. Furthermore, a grateful attitude becomes a lens through which you perceive life. Gratitude enables you to see the Light of GOD’S Presence shining on all your circumstances. Cultivate a thankful heart, for this glorifies GOD and fills you with Joy.”

Scripture

And do not grumble, as some of them did—and were killed by the destroying angel. 1 CORINTHIANS 10 : 10

Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our “God is a consuming fire.” HEBREWS 12 : 28 – 29

give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 18

Prayer

Prayer: God help me to let thankfulness temper all my thoughts and let thankfulness be the grid through which I perceive life. Thank you for the breath in my lungs, a warm bed to sleep in, and a Heavenly Father who thought I was worth dying for. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭Psalm‬ ‭17 : 1‬

“Hear me, Lord, my plea is just; listen to my cry. Hear my prayer— it does not rise from deceitful lips.” ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭17 : 1‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Are your prayers just? Are your prayers so transparent that there is such naked truth? This Psalm is a pure plea from a pure heart, as our prayers should be. I believe some prayers are self focused instead of correction/deliverance focused . Today’s prayer is pure from my heart, I pray that we all would speak to GOD with a pure transparent heart! That we would be stripped down naked and totally innocent of what we want!!! GOD is just and GOD always answers our prayers if they are truly needed …… Be Blessed

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new 2 Corinthians 5 : 17

THIS IS A TIME IN YOUR LIFE WHEN YOU MUST LEARN TO LET GO: of loved ones, of possessions, of control. – PSALM 89 : 15, HEBREWS 13 : 8, ISAIAH 41 : 13

https://youtu.be/AUGYGUoe6LQ

“THIS IS A TIME IN YOUR LIFE WHEN YOU MUST LEARN TO LET GO: of loved ones, of possessions, of control. In order to let go of something that is precious to you, you need to rest in GOD’S Presence, where you are complete. Take time to bask in the Light of GOD’S Love. As you relax more and more, your grasping hand gradually opens up, releasing your prized possession into The LORD’S care. You can feel secure, even in the midst of cataclysmic changes, through awareness of GOD’S continual Presence. The One who never leaves you is the same One who never changes: GOD is the same yesterday, today, and forever. As you release more and more things into The LORD’S care, remember that GOD never lets go of your hand. Herein lies your security, which no one and no circumstance can take from you.”

Scripture

Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, O LORD. PSALM 89 : 15

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. HEBREWS 13 : 8

“For I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.” ISAIAH 41 : 13

Prayers

Prayer: Lord help me not to hold onto anything tighter than I hold onto you – loved ones, possessions, or control. I release all those things into your care. Thank you for being my constant, my rock, my firm foundation, the one who never changes. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Job‬ ‭10 : 12‬

“You gave me life and showed me your unfailing love. My life was preserved by your care.” ‭‭Job‬ ‭10 : 12‬ ‭NLT‬‬

GOD cares for you! When it seems like you don’t have a friend in the world, you have a friend in GOD. Job went through some of the most life altering trials but still knew that GOD was there for him. Today’s prayer is that when we go through trials we would think of Job and have the same praising attitude that he had, praise GOD in the sunshine and in the storms ……… Be Blessed

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new 2 Corinthians 5 : 17

TRUST GOD AND DON’T BE AFRAID, for The LORD is your Strength and Song. – ISAIAH 12 : 2 – 3, PSALM 21 : 6

https://youtu.be/HD02XIn4YX0

“TRUST GOD AND DON’T BE AFRAID, for The LORD is your Strength and Song. Think what it means to have The LORD as your Strength. GOD spoke the universe into existence; GOD’S Power is absolutely unlimited! Human weakness, consecrated to The LORD, is like a magnet, drawing HIS Power into your neediness. However, fear can block the flow of GOD’S Strength into you. Instead of trying to fight your fears, concentrate on trusting GOD. When you relate to The LORD in confident trust, there is no limit to how much The LORD can strengthen you. Remember that The LORD is also your Song. GOD wants you to share HIS Joy, living in conscious awareness of HIS Presence. Rejoice as you journey together toward heaven; join The LORD in singing HIS Song.”

Scripture

“Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The LORD, the LORD, is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.” With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation. ISAIAH 12 : 2 – 3

Surely you have granted him eternal blessings and made him glad with the joy of your presence. PSALM 21 : 6

Prayer

Prayer: Lord when I am fearful, gently remind me to surrender to you. Nothing is too hard for you and you know exactly what to do. Your plan is good and perfect. You are my strength and my song. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
