For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11 NLT

“GOD IS WITH YOU AND FOR YOU. You face nothing alone—nothing! When you feel anxious, know that you are focusing on the visible world and leaving GOD out of the picture. The remedy is simple: Fix your eyes not on what is seen but on what is unseen. Verbalize your trust in GOD, the Living One who sees you always. GOD will get you safely through this day and all your days. But you can find The LORD only in the present. Each day is a precious gift from GOD. How ridiculous to grasp for future gifts when today’s is set before you! Receive today’s gift gratefully, unwrapping it tenderly and delving into its depths. As you savor this gift, you find The LORD.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? ROMANS 8 : 31
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 18
So she called the name of the LORD who spoke to her, You are a God of seeing, for she said, Truly here I have seen him who looks after me. Therefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi; it lies between Kadesh and Bered. GENESIS 16:13-14
Prayer: Lord help me to focus on and enjoy the gifts you’ve planned out for me today and enjoy your presence in the present. Thank you for always being with me. Even when I feel alone, I never am. Your goodness and kindness follow me all the days of my life. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.
“Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.” 1 John 4:7-8 NIV

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 RENEWING YOUR MIND. When your thoughts flow freely, they tend to move toward problems. Your focus gets snagged on a given problem, circling round and round it in attempts to gain mastery. Your energy is drained away from other matters through this negative focus. Worst of all, you lose sight of GOD. A renewed mind is Presence-focused. Train your mind to seek The LORD in every moment, every situation. Sometimes you can find GOD in your surroundings: a lilting birdsong, a loved one’s smile, golden sunlight. At other times, you must draw inward to find The LORD. GOD is always present in your spirit. Seek The LORD’S Face, speak to GOD, and HE will light up your mind.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. ROMANS 12 : 2
Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always. PSALM 105 : 4
Prayer: Heavenly Father, help me to focus more on your presence than on my problems. Renew my mind and teach me how to be more Presence-focused today. You are the great I AM and you have never lost a battle. 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
“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 The LORD is leading you now. As GOD helps you get back on your feet, you tell GOD 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 IGOD does lead you up the cliffs, HE will equip you thoroughly for that strenuous climb. The LORD will even give HIS angels charge over you, to preserve you in all your ways. ” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
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 give His angels [especial] charge over you to accompany and defend and preserve you in all your ways [of obedience and service]. They shall bear you up on their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone. PSALM 91 : 11 – 12 (AMP)
For we walk by faith, not by sight. 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 7 (NKJV)
Prayer: Lord help me to follow you one step 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 Jesus. In your name I pray. Amen.
For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good. They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. 2 Timothy 3:2-4 NLT
Sound familiar ? Hmmmm could this be the world we live in today? These words were written thousands of years ago but yet they describe exactly what the world is going through today. Christians it is time to stand firm and understand the word, be fruit bearing in a way that people want to be like you, not like this broken world…..today I pray that we all would understand the brokenness of this world and give thanks to The Lord that we can see through the trials, not look at them…….Be Blessed & remember to be a blessing to others

My child, don’t reject the LORD’s discipline, and don’t be upset when he corrects you. For the LORD corrects those he loves, just as a father corrects a child in whom he delights. Proverbs 3:11-12 NLT
Have you ever had to pay the consequences for something you have done? Jesus went to the cross for all of our sins, but if we continue to live in sin we will be corrected. Remember being a kid and being put on restriction? Your father still loved you, you just had to pay the consequence for what you had done, in the same way our Heavenly Father loves us even more. Today I pray that we would shed the sin and turn to the lords ways and live a life that is pleasing to 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
“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 The LORD’S image. Let the goal of this day be to bring every thought captive to GOD. Whenever your mind wanders, lasso those thoughts and bring them into The LORD’S Presence. In GOD’S radiant Light, anxious thoughts shrink and shrivel away. Judgmental thoughts are unmasked as you bask in GOD’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.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
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 will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind [both its inclination and its character] is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, and hopes confidently in You. ISAIAH 26 : 3 (AMP)
Prayer: Lord help me to take every thought captive today and make it obedient to Christ. In Christ’s name I pray. Amen.
