LEARN TO ENJOY LIFE MORE. Relax, remembering that GOD is with you – MATTHEW 1 : 23, JOHN 10 : 10 – 11

https://youtu.be/L3P3eD9o7UE

“LEARN TO ENJOY LIFE MORE. Relax, remembering that GOD is with you. The LORD crafted you with enormous capacity to know HIM and enjoy HIS Presence. When The LORD’S people wear sour faces and walk through their lives with resigned rigidity, The LORD is displeased. When you walk through a day with childlike delight, savoring every blessing, you proclaim your trust in The LORD, your ever-present Shepherd. The more you focus on GOD’S Presence with you, the more fully you can enjoy life. Glorify GOD through your pleasure in HIM. Thus you proclaim The LORD’S Presence to the watching world.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

“The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”—which means, “God with us.” MATTHEW 1 : 23

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.” JOHN 10 : 10 – 11

Prayer: God help me to walk through this day with child like delight, enjoying life and loved ones, and savoring every blessing. Show me how to stay close to you today, where there is abundant life. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

Proverbs‬ ‭1:7

“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction.” Proverbs‬ ‭1:7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Fear of the Lord is not too be afraid of him but to be afraid of disappointing him! Gods grace saved us from eternal hell and to not know the difference between Grace and garbage is death. Today’s prayer is that we would always turn to the word of God for wisdom and instruction and learn to not be afraid but fear out of disappointment…… 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

COME TO GOD when you are weak and weary – ISAIAH 42 : 3, ISAIAH 54 : 10, ROMANS 8 : 26

https://youtu.be/z1PImsjvELA

“COME TO GOD when you are weak and weary. Rest snugly in GOD’S everlasting arms. GOD does not despise your weakness, You are HIS child. Actually, it draws GOD closer to you, because weakness stirs up GOD’S compassion — HIS yearning to help. Accept yourself in your weariness, knowing that GOD understands how difficult your journey has been. Do not compare yourself with others, who seem to skip along their life-paths with ease. Their journeys have been different from yours, and GOD has gifted them with abundant energy. GOD has gifted you with fragility, providing opportunities for your spirit to blossom in HIS Presence. Accept this gift as a sacred treasure: delicate, yet glowing with brilliant Light. Rather than struggling to disguise or deny your weakness, allow GOD to bless you richly through it.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out. In faithfulness he will bring forth justice. ISAIAH 42 : 3

“Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the LORD, who has compassion on you. ISAIAH 54 : 10

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. ROMANS 8 : 26

Prayer: Lord I’m so grateful you are the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. I can always count on you. When the world let’s me down I know I have a Father who adores me and wants to spend time with me. Help me to rest snugly in your everlasting arms, often. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

“A wise man will hear and increase learning, And a man of understanding will attain wise counsel,” Proverbs‬ ‭1:5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Have you ever met that “know it all person”? That “been there done that person” I think we all have, and I think we all have been that person to some extent at some point. To be wise is to be humble and continue too learn, to have been there done that is too take a life lesson out of each experience and see if we are using it too Glorify God! Today’s prayer is too apply this Proverb to our lives and pray for the wisdom of Solomon……Be Blessed

https://youtu.be/PvqUgablqVg

“COME TO GOD. Come to GOD. Come to GOD. This is GOD’S continual invitation to you, proclaimed in holy whispers. When your heart and mind are quiet, you can hear GOD inviting you to draw near. Coming close to GOD requires no great effort on your part; it is more like ceasing to resist the magnetic pull of HIS Love. Open yourself to GOD’S loving Presence, so that HE may fill you with HIS fullness. GOD wants you to experience how wide and long and high and deep is HIS Love for you, so that you can know HIS Love that surpasses knowledge. This vast ocean of Love cannot be measured or explained, but it can be experienced.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life. REVELATION 22 : 17

All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. JOHN 6 : 37

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. EPHESIANS 3 : 16 – 19

Prayer: Quiet my heart and mind so I can hear you and feel your presence strengthening me and loving me so fully it’s overwhelming sometimes. Thank you for your unconditional love. May everything I say and do be with love today Lord. For your glory. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

RELAX IN GOD’S HEALING, Holy Presence – EPHESIANS 5 : 15 – 16, PSALM 119 : 105

https://youtu.be/FUDxr25hQFU

“RELAX IN GOD’S HEALING, Holy Presence. Allow GOD to transform you through this time alone with HIM. As your thoughts center more and more on GOD, trust displaces fear and worry. Your mind is somewhat like a seesaw. As your trust in GOD goes up, fear and worry automatically go down. Time spent with The LORD not only increases your trust; it also helps you discern what is important and what is not. Energy and time are precious, limited entities. Therefore, you need to use them wisely, focusing on what is truly important. As you walk close to GOD, saturating your mind with Scripture, HE will show you how to spend your time and energy. GOD’S Word is a lamp to your feet; HIS Presence is a Light for your path.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. EPHESIANS 5 : 15 – 16 (NKJV)

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path. PSALM 119 : 105

Prayer: Lord help me to relax in your healing, holy presence allowing you to transform me through time alone with you. Displace any thoughts of doubt and fear with trust and joy and peace Lord. Use me to be the hands and feet of Jesus this week Lord. Open my eyes to see what you see. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

UNDERSTANDING will never bring you Peace. That’s why GOD has instructed you to trust in HIM, not in your understanding. – PROVERBS 3 : 5 – 6, ROMANS 5 : 1, 2 THESSALONIANS 3 : 16

https://youtu.be/ldJge6F-KL4

“UNDERSTANDING will never bring you Peace. That’s why GOD has instructed you to trust in HIM, not in your understanding. Human beings have a voracious appetite for trying to figure things out, in order to gain a sense of mastery over their lives. But the world presents you with an endless series of problems. As soon as you master one set, another pops up to challenge you. The relief you had anticipated is short-lived. Soon your mind is gearing up again: searching for understanding (mastery), instead of seeking GOD (your Master). The wisest of all men, Solomon, could never think his way through to Peace. His vast understanding resulted in feelings of futility, rather than in fulfillment. Finally, he lost his way and succumbed to the will of his wives by worshiping idols. GOD’S Peace is not an elusive goal, hidden at the center of some complicated maze. Actually, you are always enveloped in Peace, which is inherent in GOD’S Presence. As you look to The LORD, you gain awareness of this precious Peace.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. PROVERBS 3 : 5 – 6

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. ROMANS 5 : 1

Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you. 2 THESSALONIANS 3 : 16

Prayer: God thank you for your peace and your presence with me all the time. Help me to trust you and stay close to you despite any circumstance. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Psalm‬ ‭84:10‬

“Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.” ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭84:10‬ ‭

As a believer the personal relationship with the Lord is priceless. This Psalm speaks of spending one day with the Lord than a thousand elsewhere. When you have a personal relationship with Jesus and don’t spend time with him in fellowship, prayer would be like not talking to your husband or wife while they’re sitting right next to you, sooner or later the question will come up ” what’s wrong”. Today’s prayer is that we would take every opportunity to have lines of communication with Jesus for he is there waiting…….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

WHEN THINGS SEEM to be going all wrong, stop and affirm your trust in GOD. – JOB 13 : 15, PSALM 18 : 33, Habakkuk 3:17-19

https://youtu.be/EtWAIjkTP94

“WHEN THINGS SEEM to be going all wrong, stop and affirm your trust in GOD. Calmly bring these matters to GOD, and leave them in The LORD’S capable hands. Then, simply do the next thing. Stay in touch with GOD through thankful, trusting prayers, resting in HIS sovereign control. Rejoice in The LORD — exult in the God of your salvation! As you trust in GOD, HE makes your feet like the feet of a deer. GOD enables you to walk and make progress upon your high places of trouble, suffering, or responsibility.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him. Even so, I will defend my own ways before Him. JOB 13 : 15 (NKJV)

He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he enables me to stand on the heights. PSALM 18 : 33

Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the produce of the olive fail and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD; I will take joy in the God of my salvation. GOD, the Lord, is my strength; he makes my feet like the deer’s; he makes me tread on my high places.To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. Habakkuk 3:17-19

Prayer: Lord when things seem to be going all wrong, help me to stop and affirm my trust in you. Thank you that this world is just short-term housing. My homeland is in Heaven, where I will live with you forever. Set my heart on eternity Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
