This is the day the LORD has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. (Psalms 118:24 NLT)
Good morning, that is a standard greeting right? Well it is a good morning no matter what the situation is. Look around at all the great things there are, sometimes we have to look through the ugly to get to the beauty. Today’s prayer is that we look at all the great things God has done for us, not the one or two problems that may be present…….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
“WALK WITH GOD along paths of trust. The most direct route between point A and point B on your life-journey is the path of unwavering trust in GOD. When your faith falters, you choose a trail that meanders and takes you well out of your way. You will get to point B eventually, but you will have lost precious time and energy. As soon as you realize you have wandered from your trust-path, look to The LORD and whisper, “I trust You, Jesus.” This affirmation will help you get back on track. The farther you roam along paths of unbelief, the harder it is to remember that The LORD is with you. Anxious thoughts branch off in all directions, taking you farther and farther from awareness of GOD’S Presence. You need to voice your trust in GOD frequently. This simple act of faith will keep you walking along straight paths with GOD. Trust in The LORD with all your heart, and HE will make your paths straight.” para-phrased – ” Jesus Calling ” by Sarah Young
Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD, the LORD, is the Rock eternal. ISAIAH 26 : 4
Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you. PSALM 9 : 10
Show me your ways, O LORD, teach me your paths; guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long. PSALM 25 : 4 – 5
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
Prayer: Lord help me to have unwavering trust in you, and not lean on my own understanding, but rather trusting your promises are true. You use all things for my good and are molding me each day to look a little more like Jesus. Thank you for being involved in every detail of my life. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity. This is good and pleases God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth. For, There is one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus. He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone. This is the message God gave to the world at just the right time. (1 Timothy 2:1-6 NLT)
Are you praying for someone you love? Are you praying for a casual friend? Are you praying for someone with a different belief other than Jesus? Are you praying for the leaders of the world? All of these should be on the prayer list. Paul was in prison in Rome yet he says pray for all because there is one God for all. Today I pray that we would all put aside any thought that someone does not need prayer, don’t just pray for friends and loved ones, pray for the non believer and the nations………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
“ACCEPT EACH DAY exactly as it comes to you. By that, GOD means not only the circumstances of your day but also the condition of your body. Your assignment is to trust GOD absolutely, resting in HIS sovereignty and faithfulness. On some days, your circumstances and your physical condition feel out of balance: The demands on you seem far greater than your strength. Days like that present a choice between two alternatives—giving up or relying on GOD. Even if you wrongly choose the first alternative, GOD will not reject you. You can turn to The LORD at any point, and HE will help you crawl out of the mire of discouragement. GOD will infuse HIS strength into you moment by moment, giving you all that you need for this day. Trust GOD, by relying on HIS empowering Presence.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior. . . . PSALM 42 : 5
For to be sure, he was crucified in weakness, yet he lives by God’s power. Likewise, we are weak in him, yet by God’s power we will live with him to serve you. 2 CORINTHIANS 13 : 4
“I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint.” JEREMIAH 31 : 25
Prayer: Lord help me to trust you absolutely with my circumstances and the condition of my body. To rely on you on easy and tough days and not on my own strength. Infuse your strength in me moment by moment as you give me all I need for today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the ungodly shall perish.” Psalms 1:6 NKJV
God knows your good deeds, your every move. Have you ever felt like you always do the right thing but are mocked by friends, co-workers? this is the persecution Jesus spoke about as believers. One of the hardest things to do is to let your light shine in the midst of persecution but when we do I’m sure it puts a big smile on Gods face. Today’s prayer is that we would only value the ways of the Lord and realize all the other stuff is just stuff……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
“ENJOY THE WARMTH OF GOD’S PRESENCE shining upon you. Feel your face tingle as you bask in GOD’S Love-Light. GOD delights in you more than you can imagine. GOD approves of you continuously, for HE sees you cloaked in HIS Light, arrayed in HIS righteousness. There is no condemnation for those who are clothed in GOD! That is why The LORD abhors the use of guilt as a means of motivation among Christians. Some pastors try to whip their people into action with guilt-inducing sermons. This procedure can drive many people to work harder, but the end does not justify the means. Guilt-evoking messages can undermine the very foundation of grace in a believer’s heart. A pastor may feel successful when his people are doing more, but GOD looks at their hearts. The LORD grieves when HE sees grace eroding, with weeds of anxious works creeping in. GOD wants you to relax in the assurance of HIS perfect Love. The law of GOD’S Holy Spirit of Life has freed you from the law of sin and death.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. ISAIAH 61 : 10
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. ROMANS 8 : 1 – 2
Prayer: Jesus thank you for setting me free. Help me to live like I’m free and enjoy the warmth of your presence with me all the time. Help me to relax in the assurance of your perfect love and show the same unconditional love to others. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it.” Isaiah 55:11 NLT
Do you ever think that your witness isn’t reaching anyone? Does it seem to just fall on deaf ears? Well couldn’t be further from the truth. This scripture says God’s word always produces fruit and it will accomplish exactly what God wants it too. Today’s prayer is that we would never stop witnessing the word and love of God because we may not see results but our father in Heaven sure does……..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
The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. (1 Timothy 1:14 NIV)
Isn’t it nice to know that you are forgiven? And not only forgiven but unconditionally loved. God loved us so much that he sent Jesus for everyone who declares him Lord and savior. When we miss the mark the devil jumps for joy knowing that condemnation will show up and pull us away from God, but when you truly understand Grace you will know that it empowers us to overcome our short comings and draw nearer to God. Today’s prayer is that we would truly understand Grace in its full measure, it’s not only unmerited favor it’s the power to overcome sin………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
Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God, a punishment for his own sins! But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed. (Isaiah 53:4-5 NLT)
Reality check! We sometimes think life is unfair, we complain about the most trivial things, we exchange our thankfulness of life in general for what? Today I pray that we would all remember the gift we were given when Jesus so graciously went to the cross in our place, that gift was Love and Life…….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
“IN CLOSENESS TO GOD, you are safe. In the intimacy of GOD’S Presence, you are energized. No matter where you are in the world, you know you belong when you sense GOD’S nearness. Ever since the Fall, man has experienced a gaping emptiness that only GOD’S Presence can fill. GOD designed you for close communication with your Creator. How GOD enjoyed walking in the garden with Adam and Eve, before the evil one deceived them! When you commune with GOD in the garden of your heart, both you and HE are blessed. This is The LORD’S way of living in the world—through you! Together you will push back the darkness, for GOD is the Light of the world.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance. PSALM 32 : 7
Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden. But the LORD God called to the man, “Where are you?” GENESIS 3 : 8 – 9
When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” JOHN 8 : 12
Prayer: How I long to walk with you in the cool of the morning and evening in the garden. One glorious day. Until then, help me to commune with you in the garden of my heart often. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
