“Don’t be afraid, O land. Be glad now and rejoice, for the Lord has done great things.” Joel 2:21 NLT
The condition of the world makes us think there is no hope! But in reality there is nothing but hope, God has done a great work in the land and in us. Today’s prayer is that no matter how bad it looks remember God has blessed us with all that we need and our great hope is in Jesus…….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
“COME TO GOD with your gaping emptiness, knowing that in GOD you are complete. As you rest quietly in The LORD’S Presence, HIS Light within you grows brighter and brighter. Facing the emptiness inside you is simply the prelude to being filled with GOD’S fullness. Therefore, rejoice on those days when you drag yourself out of bed, feeling sluggish and inadequate. Tell yourself that this is a perfect day to depend on GOD in childlike trust. If you persevere in this dependence as you go through the day, you will discover at bedtime that Joy and Peace have become your companions. You may not realize at what point they joined you on your journey, but you will feel the beneficial effects of their presence. The perfect end to such a day is a doxology of gratitude. GOD is He from whom all blessings flow!”
Scripture
For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 6
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. . . . Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” MATTHEW 5 : 3,6
For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority. COLOSSIANS 2 : 9 – 10

“For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.” 1 Corinthians 2:2 NKJV
Do you take credit for all you accomplish? I believe that we play a certain role in our achievements but Jesus is the reason we are able to have anything. The biggest and only achievement we as Christians should boast about is Christ and Christ alone. Today’s prayer is that we would acknowledge God in all we do and in all we achieve…….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
“WHEN THE LORD, JESUS CHRIST JOINED THE RANKS of humanity, born into the humblest conditions, The LORD’S Glory was hidden from all but a few people. Occasionally, streaks of Glory shone out of JESUS CHRIST, especially when The LORD began to do miracles. Toward the end of JESUS CHRIST’S life, HE was taunted and tempted to display more of HIS awesome Power than GOD, The Father’s plan permitted. JESUS CHRIST could have called down legions of angels to rescue HIM at any point. Imagine the self-control required of a martyr who could free Himself at will! All of this was necessary to provide the relationship with GOD, The FATHER that you now enjoy. Let your life become a praise song to CHRIST, THE LORD by proclaiming HIS glorious Presence in the world.”
Scripture
This, the first of his miraculous signs, Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee. He thus revealed his glory, and his disciples put their faith in him. JOHN 2 : 11
The people stood watching, and the rulers even sneered at him. They said, “He saved others; let him save himself if he is the Christ of God, the Chosen One.” The soldiers also came up and mocked him. They offered him wine vinegar. . . . LUKE 23 : 35 – 36
It is good to praise the LORD and make music to your name, O Most High, to proclaim your love in the morning and your faithfulness at night, to the music of the ten-stringed lyre and the melody of the harp. For you make me glad by your deeds, O LORD; I sing for joy at the works of your hands. How great are your works, O LORD, how profound your thoughts! PSALM 92 : 1 – 5
Prayer
Prayer: Father, may your life be my praise song and your light shine brightly through me. Don’t let me miss Your sacrifice this Christmas season. Help me to simplify my activities and traditions so I can focus my celebration on your coming Jesus. Amen.
Who are you to condemn someone else’s servants? Their own master will judge whether they stand or fall. And with the Lord’s help, they will stand and receive his approval. Romans 14:4 NLT
The world is full of people trying to play God!!! There will be a day that we all will answer to Almighty, Today I pray that we would never judge nor condemn anyone, but show the love of Jesus and let the creator do his work…….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
“DO NOT BE WEIGHED DOWN by the clutter in your life: lots of little chores to do sometime, in no particular order. If you focus too much on these petty tasks, trying to get them all out of the way, you will discover that they are endless. They can eat up as much time as you devote to them. Instead of trying to do all your chores at once, choose the ones that need to be done today. Let the rest slip into the background of your mind, so GOD can be in the forefront of your awareness. Remember that your ultimate goal is living close to GOD, being responsive to HIS initiatives. The LORD can communicate with you most readily when your mind is uncluttered and turned toward HIM. Seek GOD’S Face continually throughout this day. Let GOD’S Presence bring order to your thoughts, infusing Peace into your entire being.”
Scripture
Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed. PROVERBS 16 : 3
“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” MATTHEW 6 : 33
Prayer
Prayer: Lord, as I spend time with you, order my thoughts and infuse peace into my entire being. Let peace and love and joy overflow in and through me today by the power of the Holy Spirit. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.
“But I have trusted in Your mercy; My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.” Psalms 13:5 NKJV

Our salvation is our everything and we need to thank the Lord daily. Today’s prayer is when we miss the mark and fall into sin we understand our counselor is right there waiting with arms wide open, repent and ask for guidance…….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
“WHEN YOU ARE PLAGUED by a persistent problem—one that goes on and on—view it as a rich opportunity. An ongoing problem is like a tutor who is always by your side. The learning possibilities are limited only by your willingness to be teachable. In faith, thank GOD for your problem. Ask GOD to open your eyes and your heart to all that HE is accomplishing through this difficulty. Once you have become grateful for a problem, it loses its power to drag you down. On the contrary, your thankful attitude will lift you up into heavenly places with GOD. From this perspective, your difficulty can be seen as a slight, temporary distress that is producing for you a transcendent Glory never to cease!”
Scripture
Although the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, your teachers will be hidden no more; with your own eyes you will see them. Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.” ISAIAH 30 : 20 – 21
For this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 17
Prayer
Prayer: God open my eyes and my heart to see all that you are accomplishing through difficulties in my life. An ongoing problem is like a tutor always by my side. Help me to find the lesson each day. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
And God has given us his Spirit as proof that we live in him and he in us. 1 John 4:13 NLT
Do you ever get that feeling inside of total peace? Do you ever hear that voice telling you don’t do that, do this?This my friends is the spirit of God that lives inside us. Today I pray that we would all listen to the direction that the Holy Spirit gives us, listen closely and be at peace…….Be Blessed

“Praise the LORD, everything he has created, everything in all his kingdom. Let all that I am praise the LORD.” Psalms 103:22 NLT
Sometimes we get so caught up in our daily lives we stop one day and think, when was the last time I gave thanks to God for all he does? Prayer and communication should be a by the hour thing with our Lord. Today’s prayer is that we all would give thanks and praise in all things to the Lord, good and bad because we know all Good comes from the Lord, and all the bad the Lord will turn to good for his glory………..Be Blessed and Praise
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
