“O my Strength, to you I sing praises, for you, O God, are my refuge, the God who shows me unfailing love.” Psalms 59:17 NLT
Have you ever noticed when you sing praise and worship music you feel content? You feel warm inside? That is one of God’s most precious moments. Today’s prayer is whether we sing in the shower, Church, our car, that we would give thanks and sing with all our hearts……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
“THE LORD IS YOUR LIVING GOD, far more abundantly alive than the most vivacious person you know. The human body is wonderfully crafted, but gravity and the inevitable effects of aging weigh it down. Even the most superb athlete cannot maintain his fitness over many decades. Lasting abundant life can be found in GOD alone. Do not be anxious about the weakness of your body. Instead, view it as the prelude to GOD infusing energy into your being. As you identify more and more fully with GOD, HIS Life becomes increasingly intertwined with yours. Though the process of aging continues, inwardly you grow stronger with the passing years. Those who live close to GOD develop an inner aliveness that makes them seem youthful in spite of their years. Let GOD’S Life shine through you, as you walk in the Light with The LORD.”
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. PSALM 139 : 14
To this end I labor, struggling with all his energy, which so powerfully works in me. COLOSSIANS 1 : 29
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. 1 JOHN 1 : 7
Prayer: Lord, thank you that even though my outward body is getting older each year, inwardly I am being renewed day by day. The more I get to know you, the more fully alive I feel. Thank you Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“COME TO GOD with your defenses down, ready to be blessed and filled with GOD’S Presence. Relax, and feel the relief of being totally open and authentic with The LORD. You have nothing to hide and nothing to disclose, because GOD knows everything about you already. You can have no other relationship like this one. Take time to savor its richness, basking in GOD’S golden Light. One of the worst consequences of the Fall is the elaborate barriers people erect between themselves and others. Facades abound in the world, even in The LORD’S Body, the church. Sometimes, church is the last place where people feel free to be themselves. They cover up with Sunday clothes and Sunday smiles. They feel relief when they leave because of the strain of false fellowship. The best antidote to this artificial atmosphere is practicing GOD’S Presence at church. Let your primary focus be communing with The LORD, worshiping HIM, glorifying HIM. Then you will be able to smile at others with GOD’S Joy and love them with GOD’S Love.”
This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. 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. 1 JOHN 1 : 5 – 7
The LORD replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” EXODUS 33 : 14
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable— if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 8 – 9
Prayer: Lord, help me to practice your presence at church making my primary focus communing with you, worshiping you, glorifying you. Then I will be able to smile and care for others with Your Joy and love them with Your Love. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

“GO GENTLY THROUGH THIS DAY, keeping your eyes on GOD. GOD will open up the way before you, as you take steps of trust along your path. Sometimes the way before you appears to be blocked. If you focus on the obstacle or search for a way around it, you will probably go off course. Instead, focus on Jesus Christ, the Shepherd who is leading you along your life-journey. Before you know it, the “obstacle” will be behind you and you will hardly know how you passed through it. That is the secret of success in The LORD’S kingdom. Although you remain aware of the visible world around you, your primary awareness is of GOD. When the road before you looks rocky, you can trust GOD to get you through that rough patch. The LORD’S Presence enables you to face each day with confidence.”
“I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me— just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep.” JOHN 10 : 14 – 15

“ANXIETY IS A RESULT OF envisioning the future without GOD. So the best defense against worry is staying in communication with GOD. When you turn your thoughts toward GOD, you can think much more positively. Remember to listen, as well as to speak, making your thoughts a dialogue with The LORD. If you must consider upcoming events, follow these rules: 1) Do not linger in the future, because anxieties sprout up like mushrooms when you wander there. 2) Remember the promise of The LORD’S continual Presence; include Christ, The LORD in any imagery that comes to mind. This mental discipline does not come easily, because you are accustomed to being god of your fantasies. However, the reality of GOD’S Presence with you, now and forevermore, outshines any fantasy you could ever imagine.”
Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?” LUKE 12 : 22 – 26
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. EPHESIANS 3 : 20 – 21
