Micah‬ ‭7 : 18 – 19‬

“Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy. You will again have compassion on us; you will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea.” ‭‭Micah‬ ‭7 : 18 – 19‬ ‭

Do you have a problem with forgiving people? Do you hold a grudge? Have you not forgiven someone still today for something they did to you years ago? We as humans put a measure on sin, we measure how bad someone hurt us by the emotional feeling we have, but in GOD’S eyes it’s all the same and HE forgives us. Today’s prayer is that we all would be forgiving in all circumstances, as bad as something may hurt just remember GOD almighty himself forgave 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

WALK WITH GOD along paths of trust. – ISAIAH 26 : 4, PSALM 9 : 10, PSALM 25 : 4 – 5, PROVERBS 3 : 5 – 6

https://youtu.be/JOGEAzC5oHs

“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 HIS 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.”

Scripture

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

Prayer: Jesus, teach me to walk steadily on the path of trust with You. When I wander into doubt or anxiety, help me return quickly by declaring my trust in You, knowing You will guide my steps and make my way straight. Amen.

‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3 ‬: ‭16 ‬- ‭17‬ ‭

“Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” Colossians‬ ‭3 ‬: ‭16 ‬- ‭17‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Friends!  Church is not the only place we should be praising God, singing to God, or drawing nearer to God! Our homes should have the same welcome for God. The home is our safe dwelling place so why would we not have Church daily? Today’s prayer is that we would invite the Holy Spirit into our homes and praise God, sing praise, and have Church in our home Monday – Saturday ……. Be Blessed

ACCEPT EACH DAY exactly as it comes to you. | PSALM 42 : 5, 2 CORINTHIANS 13 : 4, JEREMIAH 31 : 25

https://youtu.be/NmM7QBVYSLU

“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, The LORD will not reject you. You can turn to The LORD at any point, and GOD 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.”

Scripture

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

Prayer: Lord, help me to accept each day as a gift from Your hand, trusting in Your sovereignty and care. When I feel weak or overwhelmed, remind me to lean on Your strength and rest in Your Presence moment by moment. Amen.

2 Timothy‬ ‭1‬ :‭ 9‬

For God saved us and called us to live a holy life. He did this, not because we deserved it, but because that was his plan from before the beginning of time—to show us his grace through Christ Jesus. 2 Timothy‬ ‭1‬ :‭ 9‬ NLT

Have you ever known anyone with the attitude that they deserve everything? I have known a few, this scripture says NOT because we deserved it, but because it was GOD’S plan. The fall of man was never GOD’S plan but HE did correct the problem once and for all by sending JESUS CHRIST to the cross. Today I pray that we all would be humbled by GOD’S grace and remember that what we deserve and what we have are worlds apart …….. Be Blessed

GOD IS YOUR BEST FRIEND, as well as your King. | JOHN 15 : 13 – 15 , ISAIAH 61 : 3, 2 CORINTHIANS 6 : 10

https://youtu.be/qd0Z6l0PskQ

“GOD IS YOUR BEST FRIEND, as well as your King. Walk hand in hand with GOD through your life. Together you will face whatever each day brings: pleasures, hardships, adventures, disappointments. Nothing is wasted when it is shared with The LORD. GOD can bring beauty out of the ashes of lost dreams. GOD can glean Joy out of sorrow, Peace out of adversity. Only a Friend who is also the King of Kings could accomplish this divine alchemy. There is no other like GOD! The friendship GOD offers you is practical and down-to-earth, yet it is saturated with heavenly Glory. Living in The LORD’S Presence means living in two realms simultaneously: the visible world and unseen, eternal reality. GOD has equipped you to stay conscious of HIM while walking along dusty, earthbound paths.”

Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. JOHN 15 : 13 – 15 

. . . and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor. ISAIAH 61 : 3

. . . sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything. 2 CORINTHIANS 6 : 10

Prayer: Jesus, thank You for being both my King and my closest Friend. Thank you for walking with me hand in hand in whatever today brings; Whether trials or triumphs we will handle it together. Lead the way, Lord. In Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.

Isaiah‬ ‭43‬ :‭ 18 – 19

“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. Isaiah‬ ‭43‬ :‭ 18 – 19‬ NIV

Sometimes it is hard to get over the past, someone wronged you, you got so far into debt you didn’t see a way out. The enemy wants you to dwell on those situations so you will look thru God’s  blessings that are all around you. Today’s prayer is that we would all view the past as a stepping stone in the road that leads us straight to GOD’S blessings, if you’re still battling it’s time to look to the blessings that are there …… Be Blessed

Ezekiel‬ ‭37 ‬: ‭5‬

“This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life.” ‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭37 ‬: ‭5‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Feeling dry today? Feeling worthless, down, lost? This scripture speaks about bringing dry bones back to life. God gives us life by HIS Holy Spirit! The world takes life by the day to day events! Today’s prayer is that we would all pray that the Holy Spirit of GOD would breathe fresh life into our dry bones and reveal to us just how important we are….. 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

Thus says the LORD, “Preserve justice and do righteousness, For My salvation is about to come And My righteousness to be revealed.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭56 : 1‬ ‭NASB‬‬

Isn’t nice to know what we have to look forward to? Eternity in Heaven!!! Our time on earth is temporary so we need do to our best to live a righteous life. Today’s prayer is we would judge where we are at in our walk and look at what we have done, what are we doing, and what are we going to do for the kingdom of GOD ……… 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. | PSALM 32 : 7, GENESIS 3 : 8 – 9, JOHN 8 : 12

https://youtu.be/xlwC2jBAwOM

“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. The LORD designed you for close communication with HIM, 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 The LORD are blessed. This is GOD’S way of living in the world — through you! Together you will push back the darkness, for GOD is the Light of the world.”

Scripture

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

Prayer: Lord, I long to walk with you in the cool of the morning and evening in the garden. Until then, help me to commune with you in the garden of my heart and let Your light shine through me to push back the darkness in this world. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
