“WALK WITH GOD in the freedom of forgiveness. The path you follow together is sometimes steep and slippery. If you carry a burden of guilt on your back, you are more likely to stumble and fall. At your request, GOD will remove the heavy load from you and bury it at the foot of the cross. When Christ unburdens you, you are undeniably free! Stand up straight and tall in The LORD’S Presence, so that no one can place more burdens on your back. Look into GOD’S Face and feel the warmth of The LORD’S Love-Light shining upon you. It is this unconditional Love that frees you from both fears and sins. Spend time basking in the Light of GOD’S Presence. As you come to know The LORD more and more intimately, you grow increasingly free.”
Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens. PSALM 68 : 19
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 1 JOHN 1 : 7 – 9
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. 1 JOHN 4 : 18
Prayer: Lord, thank you for removing my heavy burdens and laying them at the foot of the cross. I confess I mess up often, and I ask for your forgiveness and grace. Thank you for your mercy that’s new every morning. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“Honor the Lord, you heavenly beings; honor the Lord for his glory and strength. Honor the Lord for the glory of his name. Worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness.” Psalms 29:1-2 NLT

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 AND REFUSE TO WORRY, for The LORD is your Strength and Song. You are feeling wobbly this morning, looking at difficult times looming ahead, measuring them against your own strength. However, they are not today’s tasks—or even tomorrow’s. So leave them in the future and come home to the present, where you will find Christ, The LORD waiting for you. Since The LORD is your Strength, HE can empower you to handle each task as it comes. Because The LORD is your Song, HE can give you Joy as you work alongside HIM. Keep bringing your mind back to the present moment. Among all GOD’S creatures, only humans can anticipate future events. This ability is a blessing, but it becomes a curse whenever it is misused. If you use your magnificent mind to worry about tomorrow, you cloak yourself in dark unbelief. However, when the hope of heaven fills your thoughts, the Light of GOD’S Presence envelops you. Though heaven is the future, it is also present tense. As you walk in the Light with GOD, you have one foot on earth and one foot in heaven.”
The LORD is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him. EXODUS 15 : 2
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
Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. HEBREWS 10 : 23
Prayer: Sweet Jesus, thank you for reminding me to refuse to worry about the future, measuring it against my own strength. Fill my thoughts with your great and precious promises and the hope of Heaven instead. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Praise the Lord! For he has heard my cry for mercy. The Lord is my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving.” Psalms 28:6-7 NLT
Trust is a hard thing for some! But to not trust in the Lord is nonsense!!!! He has promised us He will always be there, He will always guide us, He will always protect us. Today’s prayer is we would share the same trust in the Lord as we do in our earthly possessions!! They’re temporary but the Lord is eternal…..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
“WAIT QUIETLY IN GOD’S PRESENCE while GOD’S thoughts form silently in the depths of your being. Do not try to rush this process, because hurry keeps your heart earthbound. GOD is the Creator of the entire universe, yet HE chooses to make HIS humble home in your heart. It is there where you know GOD most intimately; it is there where The LORD speaks to you in holy whispers. Ask GOD’S Holy Spirit to quiet your mind so that you can hear HIS still, small voice within you. Christ, The LORD is speaking to you continually: words of Life . . . Peace . . . Love. Tune your heart to receive these messages of abundant blessing. Lay your requests before The LORD and wait in expectation.”
And after the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice. 1 KINGS 19 : 12 (NKJV)
In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation. PSALM 5 : 3
Prayer: Holy Spirit, quiet my mind so I can hear your still, small voice speaking words of life…peace…and love. Tune my heart to the frequency or your voice. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“When evil people come to devour me, when my enemies and foes attack me, they will stumble and fall. Though a mighty army surrounds me, my heart will not be afraid. Even if I am attacked, I will remain confident.” Psalms 27:2-3 NLT
Why be afraid? Why worry? This Psalm tells us that God is there and he protects us with a mighty army!!! Today’s prayer is when fear, stress, doubt, or uncertainty comes in rebuke it in Jesus name and know that God has our back……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 SEE THINGS more and more from GOD’S perspective. Let the Light of GOD’S Presence so fully fill your mind that you view the world through GOD. When little things don’t go as you had hoped, look to The LORD lightheartedly and say, “Oh, well.” This simple discipline can protect you from being burdened with an accumulation of petty cares and frustrations. If you practice this diligently, you will make a life-changing discovery: You realize that most of the things that worry you are not important. If you shrug them off immediately and return your focus to GOD, you will walk through your days with lighter steps and a joyful heart. When serious problems come your way, you will have more reserves for dealing with them. You will not have squandered your energy on petty problems. You may even reach the point where you can agree with the apostle Paul that all your troubles are light and momentary, compared with the eternal glory being achieved by them.”
A man’s steps are directed by the LORD. How then can anyone understand his own way? PROVERBS 20 : 24
For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 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 : 17 – 18
Prayer: Lord, help me to see my problems from your perspective, remembering they are temporary and each trial can draw me closer to you. Help me to keep my eyes fixed on you today and to keep eternity in mind, where there will be no more pain, suffering, or trials of any kind. In Jesus’ name. Amen
“I hate the gatherings of those who do evil, and I refuse to join in with the wicked. I wash my hands to declare my innocence. I come to your altar, O Lord,” Psalms 26:5-6 NLT
I believe this Psalm speaks of gossip!!! Getting with a group or just one person to talk about someone or something!!!! Today’s prayer is we would ask God to correct our hearts and keep us from this ugly trait!!!! Remember the saying ( If you don’t have something nice to say – say nothing at 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
