Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice! (Philippians 4:4 NLT)
Has someone or something taken your joy? Well it’s temporary. Joy in things of the world will at some point leave you wanting something more, something bigger, but joy in the Lord our one true hope will never leave us craving more. Today I pray that whatever brings you joy would be put aside and your true joy would come from the Lord…..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
“He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—” John 1:8-12 NIV
John knew he was not the light or the savior, he knew his assignment , to tell all of the one who was coming. Jesus trusts that we as disciples will do the exact same thing, “Tell the world” Today’s prayer is that we would all have the boldness and words to witness to all the non believers…….Be Blessed & witness away🙏🏻
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
“REMEMBER THAT YOU LIVE IN a fallen world: an abnormal world tainted by sin. Much frustration and failure result from your seeking perfection in this life. There is nothing perfect in this world except GOD. That is why closeness to GOD satisfies deep yearnings and fills you with Joy. GOD has planted longing for perfection in every human heart. This is a good desire, which The LORD alone can fulfill. But most people seek this fulfillment in other people and earthly pleasures or achievements. Thus they create idols, before which they bow down. GOD will have no other gods before HIM. Make GOD the deepest desire of your heart. Let GOD fulfill your yearning for perfection. ” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
“You shall have no other gods before me.” EXODUS 20 : 3
Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. PSALM 37 : 4
Prayer: God only you can fill the deep yearning in my soul. When I have trouble in this life, help me to remember I live between two gardens, Eden and Heaven. One day, I will be in my perfect body with you for eternity. Thank you Jesus for making it possible. Amen.
“Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.” Psalm 20:7 NIV
Where is your trust ? What makes you feel trustworthy?. Material things have a way of giving you false trust, trusting in God gives you eternal security. Today’s prayer is that we would put our trust in God for all things, turn to God in all circumstances, and trust that God will be there for you always……. 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
“WELCOME CHALLENGING TIMES as opportunities to trust GOD. You have The LORD beside you and HIS Holy Spirit within you, so no set of circumstances is too much for you to handle. When the path before you is dotted with difficulties, beware of measuring your strength against those challenges. That calculation is certain to riddle you with anxiety. Without GOD, you wouldn’t make it past the first hurdle! The way to walk through demanding days is to grip GOD’S hand tightly and stay in close communication with HIM. Let your thoughts and spoken words be richly flavoured with trust and thankfulness. Regardless of the day’s problems, GOD can keep you in perfect Peace as you stay close to HIM.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds. JAMES 1 : 2
I can do everything through him who gives me strength. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 13
You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you. ISAIAH 26 : 3
Prayer: Lord thank you for the gift of the Holy Spirit inside me so the same power that raised Christ from the dead is inside me. Help me to consult the Holy Spirit more often today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
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

“GOD WANTS TO BE CENTRAL in your entire being. When your focus is firmly on GOD, HIS Peace displaces fears and worries. Fears and worries will encircle you, seeking entrance, so you must stay alert. Let trust and thankfulness stand guard, turning back fear before it can gain a foothold. There is no fear in GOD’S Love, which shines on you continually. Sit quietly in GOD’S Love-Light, while The LORD blesses you with radiant Peace. Turn your whole being to trusting and loving GOD.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
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
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. 1 JOHN 4 : 18
Prayer: Lord I pray for justice and peace to abound in every city in our nation. And may it begin with me. Search me Lord. Show me any offense in me. Cleanse me. Place a new heart in me today, one that looks more like you Jesus and less like me. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
“I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 NLT
Where is your perfect peace in these out of control times? Are you fretting the Covid? The Riots? All the other end times signs? The world is broken and we have too have our armor on everyday as Christians, be smart and do not put yourself in a bad situation. Today’s prayer is for the world! That everyone would act in a way that is civil, act civil, protest civil, don’t kill but love all!!!! Remember All Lives Matter to God Almighty….. Be Blessed

“RELAX IN GOD’S HEALING, holy Presence. Be still, while GOD transforms your heart and mind. Let go of cares and worries, so that you can receive The LORD’S Peace. Cease striving, and know that The LORD is God. Do not be like Pharisees who multiplied regulations, creating their own form of “godliness.” They got so wrapped up in their own rules that they lost sight of GOD. Even today, man-made rules about how to live the Christian life enslave many people. Their focus is on their performance, rather than on GOD. It is through knowing The LORD intimately that you become like HIM. This requires spending time alone with GOD. Let go, relax, be still, and know that The LORD is God.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! PSALM 46 : 10 (NKJV)
Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. 1 JOHN 3 : 2
Prayer: God help me to relax in your holy Presence. To be still while you renew my heart and mind. To read your word which is a light to my feet and a lamp to my path. Transform me to think, act, and be a little more like Jesus each day. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
