“Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men.” Romans 12:17 NKJV
The display of unrighteousness that is going on in the world is unbelievable!!! Political affiliation is dividing America!!! No matter what your choice of Right or Left condoning this type of behavior is not of God. God appoints all leaders so as Christians we have to believe it’s in his hands! Today I pray all of the political division would go away and we could all join as one to heal this Nation…… 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
“IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PRAISE OR THANK GOD TOO MUCH. As it is written, GOD inhabits the praises of HIS people. Sometimes your adoration is a spontaneous overflow of Joy, in response to radiant beauty or rich blessings. At other times your praise is more disciplined and measured—an act of your will. GOD dwells equally in both types of praise. Thankfulness, also, is a royal road to draw near The LORD. A thankful heart has plenty of room for GOD. When you thank GOD for the many pleasures HE provides, you affirm that The LORD is God, from whom all blessings flow. When adversity strikes and you thank GOD anyway, your trust in HIS sovereignty is a showpiece in invisible realms. Fill up the spare moments of your life with praise and thanksgiving. This joyous discipline will help you live in the intimacy of GOD’S Presence.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. PSALM 22 : 3 (KJV)
Praise the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul. I will praise the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live. PSALM 146 : 1 – 2
Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 18
Prayer: Lord help me to thank you in every situation, knowing there is some lesson to be learned, some good you will bring out of it. Whether I’m full or empty I will sing praises to you my God. You are worthy of every praise. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.
“We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair.” 2 Corinthians 4:8 NLT
Day to day can sometimes seem impossible, always issues in one way or another. This scripture reminds us that no matter what we cannot be defeated in Christ!!! Today’s prayer is that we would take hold of this scripture and push on through the troubles in front of us…..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
“GOD IS ABLE to do far beyond all that you ask or imagine. Come to GOD with positive expectations, knowing that there is no limit to what HE can accomplish. Ask The LORD’S Holy Spirit to control your mind, so that you can think great thoughts of GOD. Do not be discouraged by the fact that many of your prayers are yet unanswered. Time is a trainer, teaching you to wait upon GOD, to trust HIM in the dark. The more extreme your circumstances, the more likely you are to see GOD’S Power and Glory at work in the situation. Instead of letting difficulties draw you into worrying, try to view them as setting the scene for The LORD’S glorious intervention. Keep your eyes and your mind wide open to all that The LORD is doing in your life.” – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. EPHESIANS 3 : 20– 21
The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace. ROMANS 8 : 6
Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall, But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. ISAIAH 40 : 30 – 31 (NKJV)
Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, singing: “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!” REVELATION 5 : 13
Prayer: Lord thank you that you are able to do far more than I can ever ask or imagine. Help me to position myself close to you, obedient to you, surrendered to your will, and open to all that you are doing in and through me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“YOU CAN ACHIEVE THE VICTORIOUS LIFE through living in deep dependence on GOD. People usually associate victory with success: not falling or stumbling, not making mistakes. But those who are successful in their own strength tend to go their own way, forgetting about GOD. It is through problems and failure, weakness and neediness that you learn to rely on GOD. True dependence is not simply asking The LORD to bless what you have decided to do. It is coming to The LORD with an open mind and heart, inviting GOD to plant HIS desires within you. GOD may infuse within you a dream that seems far beyond your reach. You know that in yourself you cannot achieve such a goal. Thus begins your journey of profound reliance on GOD. It is a faith-walk, taken one step at a time, leaning on The LORD as much as you need. This is not a path of continual success but of multiple failures. However, each failure is followed by a growth spurt, nourished by increased reliance on GOD. Enjoy the blessedness of a victorious life, through deepening your dependence on The LORD.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. PSALM 34 : 17– 18
For we walk by faith, not by sight. 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 7 (NKJV)
Prayer: Lord I come to you with an open mind and heart, have your way in me. Plant your desires in my heart. Align my heart to yours. Help me to live in deep dependence on you so I can achieve all you have planned in advance for me to do, all for your glory and honor forever and ever. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:13-14 NKJV
Yesterday is gone and today is here, memory is a powerful thing but look, you made it to today. The circumstances that hinder you need to be forgotten, the promise of Jesus needs to be remembered, Paul says ” press forward” meaning through every trial keep moving towards The Lord for he is our strength. Today I pray we would all have peace in the promise that Jesus gives us and we would all press forward to the ultimate prize in heaven………..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
“Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.” Jude 1:24-25 NKJV
We tend to take all the glory when we achieve something, Jesus gave us the chance to live through his loving sacrifice so how can we not give him the glory? To be self righteous is to be distant from God. Today’s prayer is that we would give glory to God in all situations, even though we play a big part in our achievements, Jesus played a bigger part by laying his life down for us that we may live…….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 my prayer for all in 2021 ! This past year has been challenging but through it all we are kept!!!! Be Blessed all and Happy New year to all and your family
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 with a teachable spirit, eager to be changed. A close walk with GOD is a life of continual newness. Do not cling to old ways as you step into a new year. Instead, seek The LORD’S Face with an open mind, knowing that your journey with The LORD involves being transformed by the renewing of your mind. As you focus your thoughts on GOD, be aware that HE is fully attentive to you. GOD sees you with a steady eye, because HIS attention span is infinite. GOD knows and understands you completely; GOD’S thoughts embrace you in everlasting Love. The LORD also know the plans HE has for you: plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Give yourself fully to the adventure of increasing attentiveness to GOD’S Presence.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
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

“For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” 1 Corinthians 1:18 NIV
The Cross is used in so many ways in the world today, you see it displayed from necklaces to embroidered jewels on the back of jeans. This scripture says it is foolishness (just a symbol) to those who are perishing, but to those who are saved it is the power of God, what does the cross mean to you? Today’s prayer is that we would see the cross for what it truly is and understand that Jesus made that Cross everything for the believers “Salvation”…….Be Blessed and take up your Cross daily
