“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” Galatians 5:1 NIV
Before we knew Jesus we were prisoners to the world, after Jesus we are set free from all the strongholds we once had. This scripture tells us to stand firm and know that we are free!!! Today’s prayer is that when we feel weak don’t turn away but instead seek the love of Jesus and he will always remind us of our freedom in him…….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’S FACE IS SHINING UPON YOU, beaming out Peace that transcends understanding. You are surrounded by a sea of problems, but you are face to Face with GOD, your Peace. As long as you focus on GOD, you are safe. If you gaze too long at the myriad problems around you, you will sink under the weight of your burdens. When you start to sink, simply call out “Help me, Jesus!” and CHRIST will lift you up. The closer you live to The LORD, the safer you are. Circumstances around you are undulating, and there are treacherous-looking waves in the distance. Fix your eyes on The LORD, the One who never changes. By the time those waves reach you, they will have shrunk to proportions of HIS design. The LORD is always beside you, helping you face today’s waves. The future is a phantom, seeking to spook you. Laugh at the future! Stay close to GOD.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 7
Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” MATTHEW 14 : 30
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. HEBREWS 12 : 2
Prayer: Lord even when I’m surrounded by a sea of problems may I meet you in the inner room of my heart, where you always are, and where there is peace that surpasses all understanding. I meet you in my inner sanctuary Lord where I can quickly hide away with you, if even for one second, before returning to the world. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
“Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” Psalm 90:12 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
“LET GOD BLESS YOU with HIS grace and Peace. Open your heart and mind to receive all that GOD has for you. Do not be ashamed of your emptiness. Instead, view it as the optimal condition for being filled with The LORD’S Peace. It is easy to touch up your outward appearance, to look as if you have it all together. Your attempts to look good can fool most people. But GOD sees straight through you, into the depths of your being. There is no place for pretense in your relationship with The LORD. Rejoice in the relief of being fully understood. Talk with GOD about your struggles and feelings of inadequacy. Little by little, GOD will transform your weaknesses into strengths. Remember that your relationship with The LORD is saturated in grace. Therefore, nothing that you do or don’t do can separate you from The LORD’S Presence.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” 1 SAMUEL 16 : 7
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. ROMANS 8 : 38 – 39
Prayer: Lord saturate me with your grace and peace. I confess I often feel inadequate to do what you’ve called me to do. Little by little, transform my weakness into your strength, for your glory. In Jesus’ 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
If this scripture doesn’t hit home I don’t know which one will! The world is in such a broken place it’s clear the end is near …. Today’s prayer is that we would all continue to pray for the world to repent and turn back to God to heal our land……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
“TRY TO VIEW EACH DAY as an adventure, carefully planned out by GOD, your Guide. Instead of staring into the day that is ahead of you, attempting to program it according to your will, be attentive to GOD and to all HE has prepared for you. Thank GOD for this day of life, recognizing that it is a precious, unrepeatable gift. Trust that GOD is with you each moment, whether you sense HIS Presence or not. A thankful, trusting attitude helps you to see events in your life from The LORD’S perspective. A life lived close to GOD will never be dull or predictable. Expect each day to contain surprises! Resist your tendency to search for the easiest route through the day. Be willing to follow wherever The LORD leads. No matter how steep or treacherous the path before you, the safest place to be is by GOD’S side.” 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
To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps. 1 PETER 2 : 21
Prayer: Lord help me to be attentive to you and all that you have prepared for me today. Thank you for another day of life, help me to use it wisely on the things that are most important to you. A life lived closed to you is always a fun adventure. Help me to follow wherever you lead me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.” Romans 13:8 NKJV
In life we are not promised tomorrow! A solid goal to have is too not over extend yourself (as we all have at some point) and too show Gods love to everyone! There is so much hate in the world it’s disheartening. Today’s prayer is we would love all and always try too be the lender not the borrower…… 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 PREPARE YOU for the day that stretches out before you. GOD knows exactly what this day will contain, whereas you have only vague ideas about it. You would like to see a map, showing all the twists and turns of your journey. You’d feel more prepared if you could somehow visualize what is on the road ahead. However, there is a better way to be prepared for whatever you will encounter today: Spend quality time with The LORD. GOD will not show you what is on the road ahead, but GOD will thoroughly equip you for the journey. GOD’S living Presence is your Companion each step of the way. Stay in continual communication with The LORD, whispering CHRIST’S Name whenever you need to redirect your thoughts. Thus, you can walk through this day with your focus on The LORD. GOD’S abiding Presence is the best road map available.” para-phrased- “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
The LORD replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” EXODUS 33 : 14
“Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you.” JOHN 15 : 4 – 7
Prayer: Lord prepare me for the day that stretches out before me as I spend quality time with you. I know you won’t show me what’s on the full road map, but you will thoroughly equip me for the journey. Help me to keep my eyes and focus on you today Jesus. In your name I pray. Amen.
“Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.” Romans 13:1 NKJV
We all have political differences but the truth is who sits in the White House is who sits in the White House ! Today’s prayer is that we would pray for the President and pray that he or she will do Gods will…….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 by relinquishing control into HIS hands. Let go, and recognize that The LORD is God. This is GOD’S world: HE made it and HE controls it. Yours is a responsive part in the litany of Love. GOD searches among HIS children for receptivity to Himself. Guard well this gift that GOD has planted in your heart. Nurture it with the Light of The LORD’S Presence. When you bring GOD prayer requests, lay out your concerns before The LORD. Speak to GOD candidly; pour out your heart. Then thank GOD for the answers that HE has set into motion long before you can discern results. When your requests come to mind again, continue to thank GOD for the answers that are on the way. If you keep on stating your concerns to GOD, you will live in a state of tension. When you thank The LORD for how HE is answering your prayers instead, your mind-set becomes much more positive. Thankful prayers keep your focus on GOD’S Presence and HIS promises.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
Let be and be still, and know (recognize and understand) that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations! I will be exalted in the earth! PSALM 46 : 10 (AMP)
Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. COLOSSIANS 4 : 2
His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. 2 PETER 1 : 3 – 4
Prayer: Lord help me to trust you by giving up control into your far more capable hands. To let go, and recognize you are God. Thank you in advance for answers that are on the way. I trust you with all my heart. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.
