“I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.” 3 John 1:4 NIV
To make God smile is to walk in his ways! I believe when we try our best to do good whether or not we succeed it makes God smile (and yes we fail every day). Thank God for the grace given to us. Today’s prayer is that we all would do our best to please God by our daily actions and show his love to everyone …….. 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
“FOLLOW GOD ONE STEP AT A TIME. That is all GOD requires of you. In fact, that is the only way to move through this space/time world. You see huge mountains looming, and you start wondering how you’re going to scale those heights. Meanwhile, because you’re not looking where you’re going, you stumble on the easy path where GOD is leading you now. As GOD helps you get back on your feet, you tell HIM how worried you are about the cliffs up ahead. But you don’t know what will happen today, much less tomorrow. Your path may take an abrupt turn, leading you away from those mountains. There may be an easier way up the mountains than is visible from this distance. If The LORD does lead you up the cliffs, HE will equip you thoroughly for that strenuous climb. GOD will even give HIS angels charge over you, to preserve you in all your ways. “
Scripture
Keep your mind on the present journey, enjoying My Presence. Walk by faith, not by sight, trusting Me to open up the way before you. With your help I can advance against a troop; with my God I can scale a wall. PSALM 18 : 29
For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone. PSALM 91 : 11 – 12
For we walk by faith, not by sight. 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 7 (NKJV)
Prayer
Prayer: Lord, help me to follow you one step, one day, at a time. If I look too far ahead it’s daunting, but when I follow you one step at a time, holding your hand, I can do all you have called me to do because you equip me with exactly what I need for each day. Give me THIS day my daily bread. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“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 NKJV

This scripture explains that when you received Christ as your personal Lord and savior you became a new creation, that all old has passed away. Today’s prayer is that you would hand your past over to Jesus and live your new life as the new creation you became by the ultimate sacrifice at the cross…..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 YOUR STRENGTH AND SHIELD. GOD plans out each day and has it ready for you, long before you arise from bed. GOD also provides the strength you need each step of the way. Instead of assessing your energy level and wondering about what’s on the road ahead, concentrate on staying in touch with The LORD. GOD’S power flows freely into you through your open communication. Refuse to waste energy worrying, and you will have strength to spare. Whenever you start to feel afraid, remember that The LORD is your Shield. But unlike inanimate armor, GOD is always alert and active. The LORD’S Presence watches over you continually, protecting you from both known and unknown dangers. Entrust yourself to GOD’S watch care, which is the best security system available. The LORD is with you and will watch over you wherever you go.”
Scripture
The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song. PSALM 28 : 7
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. MATTHEW 6 : 34
When I am afraid, I will trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me? PSALM 56 : 3 – 4
“I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.” GENESIS 28 : 15
Prayer
Prayer: God thank you for being a good, good Father. Open my eyes to see that prayer and surrender is the key to unlocking your peace, joy, and endless strength. When I am afraid, help me to remember that if I surrender to you, you will fight my battles for me every time. And you are far more capable. This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Ephesians 3:19 NLT
Sometimes we let the circumstances defeat us, we feel like the whole world is against us!!!! Take heart and know the God who loves us and saved us from eternal hell. God’s plans for us are to prosper and excel, not live defeated in a broken world…..today I pray that all would understand the love that God has for each and every one of us, he is always with us to see us through the trials……..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
“WORSHIP GOD ONLY. Whatever occupies your mind the most becomes your god. Worries, if indulged, develop into idols. Anxiety gains a life of its own, parasitically infesting your mind. Break free from this bondage by affirming your trust in GOD and refreshing yourself in HIS Presence. What goes on in your mind is invisible, undetectable to other people. But GOD reads your thoughts continually, searching for evidence of trust in HIM. GOD rejoices when your mind turns toward HIM. Guard your thoughts diligently; good thought-choices will keep you close to GOD.”
Scripture
He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD. PSALM 112 : 7
When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 1 CORINTHIANS 13 : 11
Prayer
Prayer: Holy Spirit guard my thoughts diligently today. I want you, your words and your thoughts to occupy my mind. When I start to drift into worrisome thoughts, gently bring me back to you – the prince of peace. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
But I am trusting you, O LORD, saying, “You are my God!” Psalms 31:14 NLT
Trust is a characteristic that is lacking in today’s world, to trust someone is to confide your all to them!!! When you truly understand God’s love for you it’s easy to trust him. Today I pray that we would all put our 100% trust in the Lord and not in the things of the world…….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
“KEEP YOUR FOCUS ON GOD. GOD has gifted you with amazing freedom, including the ability to choose the focal point of your mind. Only the crown of GOD’S creation has such remarkable capability; this is a sign of being made in HIS image. Let the goal of this day be to bring every thought captive to The LORD. Whenever your mind wanders, lasso those thoughts and bring them into HIS Presence. In GOD’S radiant Light, anxious thoughts shrink and shrivel away. Judgmental thoughts are unmasked as you bask in The LORD’S unconditional Love. Confused ideas are untangled while you rest in the simplicity of GOD’S Peace. The LORD will guard you and keep you in constant Peace, as you focus your mind on HIM.”
Scripture
You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. PSALM 8 : 5
Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. GENESIS 1 : 26 – 27
We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 2 CORINTHIANS 10 : 5
You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you,because he trusts in you. ISAIAH 26 : 3
Prayer
Prayer: Lord what a privilege to be able to choose how to focus my mind, that which only humans, your image-bearers can do. Give me the strength and confidence to take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ. In Christ’s name I pray. Amen.
“holding on to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and so have suffered shipwreck with regard to the faith.” 1 Timothy 1:19 NIV
Is your faith strong? Do you trust your 100% to God? I see so many Christians that let the world’s circumstances destroy their faith in the Lord. The Bible tells us that God is there through ALL! Not some! Today’s prayer is that we would always trust in the Lord no matter what the circumstances are………Be Blessed

Our lives are temporary but we have a spirit that is eternal. When we surround ourselves with things of the Lord our spirit is being renewed! Even though we may be graying and getting a few more wrinkles than we would like, our spirit looks like a newborn babe. Today’s prayer is that we would read God’s word daily, listen to worship music daily, be next to God daily…..Be Blessed
