“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” John 15:13 NIV
Do you have a friend that would lay their life for you? But the strange thing is we put our trust in them. Jesus calls us friends and he did in fact lay his life down for us, that we could live a life of freedom. Today’s prayer is that we would put our total trust in Lord Jesus he is our eternal BFF………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
“Finally Pilate handed him over to them to be crucified. So the soldiers took charge of Jesus. Carrying his own cross, he went out to the place of the Skull (which in Aramaic is called Golgotha). There they crucified him, and with him two others—one on each side and Jesus in the middle.” John 19:16-18 NIV
Can you even imagine the King of Kings carried his own cross to his crucifixion. Jesus did nothing wrong in all his time on earth but was charged with so many false accusations. In our daily lives we also can be slandered, and how much more do we deserve it than Jesus? This is where Amazing Grace and unconditional love walked in. Today’s prayer is when times get rough we pick up our Cross and walk right to the arms of the savior, he’s always waiting with arms wide open………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 thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. (John 10:10)
The thief in this passage is the Devil!!! He wants to bring ” doom and gloom” on your whole surroundings. He wants you to feel broke, alone , not good enough , just plain broken. Jesus however says I give you life to the fullest, in abundance ( more than enough) money, happiness, peace, everything. Today who are you gonna believe ? I choose to take the gift that was given to me on the cross 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
“STAY CALMLY conscious of GOD today, no matter what. Remember that GOD goes before you as well as with you into the day. Nothing takes GOD by surprise. The LORD will not allow circumstances to overwhelm you, so long as you look to HIM. GOD will help you cope with whatever the moment presents. Collaborating with GOD brings blessings that far outweigh all your troubles. Awareness of The LORD’S Presence contains Joy that can endure all eventualities.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. PSALM 23 : 1 – 4 (NKJV)
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 16 – 17
Prayer: Lord when circumstances threaten to overwhelm me, help me to fix my eyes on you Jesus. To rely on your strength and not my own. You are with me every step of the way and will show me the way, one step at a time. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.
“And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.” Romans 13:11 NKJV
This scripture reminds us of the end times. The events going on in the world have been written about since the beginning. We need to have a stronger relationship we Jesus than ever. Today’s prayer is that we would pray for the world and its leaders, witness the gospel to everyone you can……..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
“OPEN YOUR HANDS and your heart to receive this day as a precious gift from GOD. GOD begins each day with a sunrise, announcing HIS radiant Presence. By the time you rise from your bed, The LORD have already prepared the way before you. The LORD eagerly awaits your first conscious thought. The LORD rejoices when you glance HIS way. Bring GOD the gift of thanksgiving, which opens your heart to rich communion with HIM. Because The LORD is God, from whom all blessings flow, thankfulness is the best way to draw near GOD. Sing praise songs to GOD; tell of HIS wondrous works. Remember that GOD takes great delight in you; GOD rejoices over you with singing.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. PSALM 118 : 24
Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song. PSALM 95 : 2

Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens. (Psalm 68:19 NIV)
Short and sweet, toPsalm 68:19Psalm 68:19day I pray that we all would grasp the purpose of the cross and understand that Jesus took and did it all………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
“HOLD THE LORD’S HAND—AND TRUST. So long as you are conscious of GOD’S Presence with you, all is well. It is virtually impossible to stumble while walking in the Light with GOD. GOD designed you to enjoy HIM above all else. You find the deepest fulfilment of your heart in GOD alone. Fearful, anxious thoughts melt away in the Light of The LORD’S Presence. When you turn away from GOD, you are vulnerable to the darkness that is always at work in the world. Don’t be surprised by how easily you sin when you forget to cling to GOD’S hand. In the world, dependency is seen as immaturity. But in GOD’S kingdom, dependence on The LORD is a prime measure of maturity.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” ISAIAH 41 : 10

Prayer: Lord help me to find the deepest fulfilment of my heart in you alone. Teach me to enjoy you above all else. To find rest, hope, and strength in your loving arms. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.”” John 2:19 NIV
Jesus made this statement and no one had a clue what he was saying, Jesus spoke in parables throughout his whole ministry and yet no one was listening with spiritual ears. I believe today the same happens when the word of God is read and that is why there is so many options and interpretations. Today’s prayer is that we would pray for spiritual ears and eyes to truly understand Gods word…….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
“LET GOD’S LOVE STREAM THROUGH YOU, washing away fear and distrust. A trusting response includes GOD in your thoughts as you consider strategies to deal with a situation. GOD’S continual Presence is a promise, guaranteeing that you never have to face anything alone. GOD’S children teethe on the truth that The LORD is always with them, yet they stumble around in a stupor, unaware of GOD’S loving Presence all around them. How that grieves The LORD! When you walk through a day in trusting dependence on GOD, HIS aching heart is soothed. Gently bring your attention back to GOD whenever it wanders away. GOD looks for persistence — rather than perfection — in your walk with The LORD.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in God’s unfailing love for ever and ever. PSALM 52 : 8
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” DEUTERONOMY 31 : 6
And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. EPHESIANS 4 : 30
Prayer: Lord, may your love stream through me, overflowing to those around me. Thank you that I never have to face anything alone. You are always with me and for me. When my attention wanders, gently bring me back to you Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
