THANKFULNESS takes the sting out of adversity. – EPHESIANS 5 : 20, PSALM 118 : 1, PSALM 89 : 15

THANKFULNESS takes the sting out of adversity. That is why GOD has instructed you to give thanks for everything. There is an element of mystery in this transaction: You give GOD thanks (regardless of your feelings), and GOD gives you Joy (regardless of your circumstances). This is a spiritual act of obedience—at times, blind obedience. To people who don’t know GOD intimately, it can seem irrational and even impossible to thank The LORD for heartrending hardships. Nonetheless, those who obey GOD in this way are invariably blessed, even though difficulties may remain. Thankfulness opens your heart to GOD’S Presence and your mind to HIS thoughts. You may still be in the same place, with the same set of circumstances, but it is as if a light has been switched on, enabling you to see from The LORD’S perspective. It is this Light of GOD’S Presence that removes the sting from adversity.”

. . . always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. EPHESIANS 5 : 20

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. PSALM 118 : 1

Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, O LORD. PSALM 89 : 15

Prayer: God as I give you thanks regardless of my circumstances, open my heart to your presence and my mind to your thoughts. Remove the sting from adversity as my eyes are fixed on you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

AS YOU SIT QUIETLY IN GOD’S PRESENCE, let GOD fill your heart and mind with thankfulness. – ROMANS 8 : 38 – 39, PSALM 4 : 7 – 8

“AS YOU SIT QUIETLY IN GOD’S PRESENCE, let GOD fill your heart and mind with thankfulness. This is the most direct way to achieve a thankful stance. If your mind needs a focal point, gaze at The LORD’S Love poured out for you on the cross. Remember that nothing in heaven or on earth can separate you from that Love. This remembrance builds a foundation of gratitude in you, a foundation that circumstances cannot shake. As you go through this day, look for tiny treasures strategically placed along the way. GOD lovingly goes before you and plants little pleasures to brighten your day. Look carefully for them, and pluck them one by one. When you reach the end of the day, you will have gathered a lovely bouquet. Offer it up to GOD with a grateful heart. Receive The LORD’S Peace as you lie down to sleep, with thankful thoughts playing a lullaby in your mind.”

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

You have filled my heart with greater joy than when their grain and new wine abound. I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety. PSALM 4 : 7 – 8

Prayer: Lord as I sit quietly with you, fill my mind with thankfulness. Open my eyes to see the big and small blessings you have placed in my life today. And when my mind needs a place to focus, remind me to focus on Jesus. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭97‬:‭11

“Light shines on the godly, and joy on those whose hearts are right.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭97‬:‭11‬ ‭NLT‬‬

The condition of one’s heart is so important!!! How is yours? A pure heart is pleasing to God, a heart that is part time is not! Today’s prayer is that we examine our heart, do we do things for others because of love? Or do we do things for others for recognition? …….Be Blessed and perform your own open heart surgery today.

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

A THANKFUL ATTITUDE opens windows of heaven. – HABAKKUK 3 : 17 – 18, PSALM 46 : 1

“A THANKFUL ATTITUDE opens windows of heaven. Spiritual blessings fall freely onto you through those openings into eternity. Moreover, as you look up with a grateful heart, you get glimpses of Glory through those windows. You cannot yet live in heaven, but you can experience a foretaste of your ultimate home. Such samples of heavenly fare revive your hope. Thankfulness opens you up to these experiences, which then provide further reasons to be grateful. Thus, your path becomes an upward spiral: ever increasing in gladness. Thankfulness is not some sort of magic formula; it is the language of Love, which enables you to communicate intimately with GOD. A thankful mind-set does not entail a denial of reality with its plethora of problems. Instead, it rejoices in The LORD, your Savior, in the midst of trials and tribulations. GOD is your refuge and strength, an ever-present and well-proven help in trouble.”

Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior. HABAKKUK 3 : 17 – 18

God is our Refuge and Strength [mighty and impenetrable to temptation], a very present and well-proved help in trouble. PSALM 46 : 1 (AMP)

Prayer: Lord, no matter what goes on this week help me to have a thankful mind-set. To praise you on the mountain top and in the valley. May you be my focal point this Thanksgiving week and may I be a reflection of Christ wherever I go. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

“Great is the Lord! He is most worthy of praise! He is to be feared above all gods.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭96‬:‭4‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Great is the Lord!!! He is the one and only almighty God not a god!!! There are a lot of opinions of who God is or who is the one true god.

THANK GOD THROUGHOUT THIS DAY for HIS Presence and HIS Peace. – LUKE 24 : 36, MATTHEW 28 : 20, HEBREWS 13 : 15

THANK GOD THROUGHOUT THIS DAY for HIS Presence and HIS Peace. These are gifts of supernatural proportions. Ever since the resurrection, The LORD JESUS CHRIST, has comforted HIS followers with these messages: “Peace be with you, and I am with you always” and “Listen as I offer you My Peace and Presence in full measure”. The best way to receive these glorious gifts is to thank The LORD for them. It is impossible to spend too much time thanking and praising GOD. GOD created you first and foremost to glorify HIM. Thanksgiving and praise put you in a proper relationship with GOD, opening the way for GOD’S riches to flow into you. As you thank The LORD for HIS Presence and Peace, you appropriate GOD’S richest gifts.”

While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” LUKE 24 : 36

“And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” MATTHEW 28 : 20

Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that confess his name. HEBREWS 13 : 15

Prayer: God thank you for your presence and your peace. Every good and perfect gift comes from you. Your purpose for me is to live a rich and satisfying life in Christ for your glory. Help me to do so this week. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Psalms‬ ‭95‬:‭1‬-‭2

“Come, let us sing to the Lord! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come to him with thanksgiving. Let us sing psalms of praise to him.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭95‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Thanksgiving is just a few days away and this is a day to give thanks, shouldn’t we be giving thanks everyday? I believe everyday is Thanksgiving and we should always thank God first in everything but also thank everyone else for what they have done for us. Today’s prayer is that we should give thanks to our Lord and our family not only in November but 365 days a year….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

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭94‬:‭12

“Joyful are those you discipline, Lord, those you teach with your instructions.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭94‬:‭12‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Being a Christian is not always all rainbows and good times!!! The persecution of Christians around the world is terrible! And even the fact that Christian beliefs have been discounted here in the United States is amuck!!! Today’s prayer is we all stand strong in God’s promise! In God’s truth and let that joy directly impact our daily lives…..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

Psalms‬ ‭92‬:‭2‬

“It is good to proclaim your unfailing love in the morning, your faithfulness in the evening,” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭92‬:‭2‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Giving thanks to God is a necessity in the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening!!! Today’s prayer is that we would give God thanks in all things! All day! All night! …..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, and rest in The LORD’S Peace. – PHILIPPIANS 4 : 6 – 7, JOHN 7 : 38, EPHESIANS 5 : 18 – 20

“COME TO GOD, and rest in The LORD’S Peace. GOD’S Face is shining upon you, in rays of Peace transcending understanding. Instead of trying to figure things out yourself, you can relax in the Presence of the One who knows everything. As you lean on GOD in trusting dependence, you feel peaceful and complete. This is how GOD designed you to live: in close communion with HIM. When you are around other people, you tend to cater to their expectations—real or imagined. You feel enslaved to pleasing them, and your awareness of The LORD’S Presence grows dim. Your efforts to win their approval eventually exhaust you. You offer these people dry crumbs rather than the living water of GOD’S Holy Spirit flowing through you. This is not GOD’S way for you! Stay in touch with GOD, even during your busiest moments. Let GOD’S Holy Spirit give you words of grace as you live in the Light of GOD’S Peace.”

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 6 – 7

“Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.” JOHN 7 : 38

Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. EPHESIANS 5 : 18 – 20

Prayer: Lord, I come to you and rest in your peace. Help me to lean on you in trusting dependence, even during my busiest moments. May your Spirit give me words of grace as I live in the light of your peace today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
