“Worry weighs a person down; an encouraging word cheers a person up.” Proverbs 12:25 NLT
It is so easy to worry about situations, as Christians we should lean on God for comfort! Todays prayer is we would use his words to comfort us and keep us cheerful with his promises……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
“TRUST GOD in the midst of a messy day. Your inner calm—your Peace in GOD’S Presence—need not be shaken by what is going on around you. Though you live in this temporal world, your innermost being is rooted and grounded in eternity. When you start to feel stressed, detach yourself from the disturbances around you. Instead of desperately striving to maintain order and control in your little world, relax and remember that circumstances cannot touch GOD’S Peace. Seek The LORD’S Face, and GOD will share HIS mind with you, opening your eyes to see things from HIS perspective. Do not let your heart be troubled, and do not be afraid. The Peace GOD gives is sufficient for you.”
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” JOHN 16 : 33
Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always. PSALM 105 : 4
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” JOHN 14 : 27
Prayer: God, teach me to trust you in the midst of a messy day remembering that circumstances cannot touch the peace you’ve given me when I’ve filled myself up with you – your word and your presence. Thank you Jesus. In your name I pray. Amen.
“GOD IS THE ETERNAL “I AM”; GOD always has been, and always will be. In GOD’S Presence you experience Love and Light, Peace and Joy. GOD is intimately involved in all your moments, and GOD is training you to be aware of HIM at all times. Your assignment is to collaborate with GOD in this training process. The LORD has taken up residence within you; GOD is central in your innermost being. Your mind goes off in tangents from its holy Center, time after time. Do not be alarmed by your inability to remain focused on The LORD. Simply bring your thoughts gently back to GOD each time they wander. The quickest way to redirect your mind to me is to whisper GOD’S Name.”
God said to Moses, “I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’” EXODUS 3 : 14
Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you? 1 CORINTHIANS 3 : 16
The LORD confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them. My eyes are ever on the LORD, for only he will release my feet from the snare. PSALM 25 : 14 – 15
Prayer: God thank you for being the eternal “I AM” who always has been and who always will be. Continue to train me to be aware of you at all times. Open my eyes and heart to you more. As I actively seek you, it’s so exciting to wait expectantly for you to exceed every expectation. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer.” Psalms 94:19 NLT
It is so easy to doubt yourself, your situation, your relationships, etc. The key to comfort is trusting in God’s word and God’s timing!!!! Today’s prayer is that we would lean on God for all things and trust that his comfort will see us through…….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 ALL AROUND YOU, hovering over you even as you seek HIS Face. GOD is nearer than you dare believe, closer than the air you breathe. If GOD’S children could only recognize HIS Presence, they would never feel lonely again. The LORD knows every thought before you think it, every word before you speak it. The LORD’S Presence impinges on your innermost being. Can you see the absurdity of trying to hide anything from GOD? You can easily deceive other people, and even yourself; but GOD reads you like an open, large-print book. Deep within themselves, most people have some awareness of The LORD’S imminent Presence. Many people run from The LORD and vehemently deny HIS existence, because GOD’S closeness terrifies them. But GOD’S own children have nothing to fear, for The LORD has cleansed them by HIS blood and clothed them in HIS righteousness. Be blessed by The LORD’S intimate nearness. Since GOD lives in you, let GOD also live through you, shining HIS Light into the darkness.”
O LORD, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD. PSALM 139 : 1 – 4
But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ. EPHESIANS 2 : 13
God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 21
Prayer: Lord help me to be more aware of your presence. Thank you for living in me and through me. Fill me with the fruits of the Spirit as I spend time with you. This daily time is a direct link to my level of peace and joy. If I feel distant from you, I know which of us has moved. Help me return to my center in you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“I pray that your love will overflow more and more, and that you will keep on growing in knowledge and understanding. For I want you to understand what really matters, so that you may live pure and blameless lives until the day of Christ’s return.” Philippians 1:9-10 NLT
Simple way to live!!! To love all regardless of their situation and keep growing in your knowledge of the Lord!!! Today I pray we all can set our differences aside and forgive!!!! Live a life of love as we are not promised tomorrow…..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
“ENTRUST YOUR LOVED ONES TO GOD; release them into GOD’S protective care. They are much safer with The LORD than in your clinging hands. If you let a loved one become an idol in your heart, you endanger that one—as well as yourself. Remember the extreme measures GOD used with Abraham and Isaac. HE took Isaac to the very point of death in order to free Abraham from son-worship. Both Abraham and Isaac suffered terribly because of the father’s undisciplined emotions. GOD detests idolatry, even in the form of parental love. When you release loved ones to GOD, you are free to cling to HIS hand. As you entrust others into The LORD’S care, The LORD is free to shower blessings on them. GOD’S Presence will go with them wherever they go, and HE will give them rest. This same Presence stays with you, as you relax and place your trust in GOD. Watch to see what The LORD will do.”
When they reached the place God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood on it. He bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. But the angel of the LORD called out to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied. “Do not lay a hand on the boy,” he said. “Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son.” GENESIS 22 : 9 – 12
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. . . . EPHESIANS 3 : 20
The LORD replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” EXODUS 33 : 14
Prayer: Lord, I release my loved ones to you. You know the ones I tend to hold onto a bit too tight. They are safest in your capable hands, which frees my hand to cling to yours. You are so good, Father. Thank you, thank you. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.
And “don’t sin by letting anger control you.” Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry, Ephesians 4:26 NLT
Forgiveness is sometimes very difficult, someone who has wronged you, a past relationship, someone or something that has just wronged you!!! But as God has forgiven us so should we forgive everyone, sometimes it seems impossible to forgive but think of if God had not forgiven us…….Today I pray that God would give us all a forgiving heart just as he has and let us realize that hurt is only temporary, because there is something way better in your future……..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
“Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.” Psalm 62:5-6
Circumstances can consume your day and even your life. The key to peace is where it comes from. The Lord is the only true peace we have, to trust and depend on him is key. Today’s prayer is that our foundation would be the Lord! Don’t look at the problem, look through the problem the solution is on the other side waiting, Jesus the author and finisher of our faith…..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
“TRUST GOD, and don’t be afraid. GOD wants you to view trials as exercises designed to develop your trust-muscles. You live in the midst of fierce spiritual battles, and fear is one of Satan’s favorite weapons. When you start to feel afraid, affirm your trust in GOD. Speak out loud, if circumstances permit. Resist the devil in The LORD’S Name, and he will slink away from you. Refresh yourself in GOD’S holy Presence. Speak or sing praises to GOD, and HIS Face will shine radiantly upon you. Remember that there is no condemnation for those who belong to GOD. You have been judged NOT GUILTY for all eternity. Trust GOD, and don’t be afraid; for GOD is your Strength, Song, and Salvation.”
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. JAMES 4 : 7
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
“Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The LORD, the LORD, is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.” ISAIAH 12 : 2
Prayer: Lord, help me to view trials as opportunities to develop my trust muscles in you. When I start to feel anxious or afraid, help me speak the name of Jesus and remember I am Heaven bound. Everything else is preparation for eternity. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
