“I love you, Lord; you are my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety.” Psalms 18:1-2
When you find yourself in any struggle, where do you turn to? Where do you find your peace? This Psalm lays it out perfectly!!!! Today’s prayer is that we would all understand the depth of God’s love for us and the hedge of protection he has waiting for us……..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
“GIVE UP THE ILLUSION that you deserve a problem-free life. Part of you is still hungering for the resolution of all difficulties. This is a false hope! As JESUS CHRIST told HIS disciples, in the world you will have trouble. Link your hope not to problem solving in this life but to the promise of an eternity of a problem-free life in heaven. Instead of seeking perfection in this fallen world, pour your energy into seeking GOD: the Perfect One. It is possible to enjoy GOD and glorify HIM in the midst of adverse circumstances. In fact, GOD’S Light shines most brightly through believers who trust HIM in the dark. That kind of trust is supernatural: a production of GOD’S indwelling Holy Spirit. When things seem all wrong, trust GOD anyway. The LORD is much less interested in right circumstances than in right responses to whatever comes your way.”
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” JOHN 16 : 33
Even in darkness light dawns for the upright, for the gracious and compassionate and righteous man. . . . He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD. PSALM 112 : 4, 7
Prayer: Lord help me to seek you more than I seek a problem-free life. To let go of that hunger. To accept in this life there will be trouble. You care more about my response to the trouble than the trouble itself. Each trial may I rely on you more and more. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you. There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you slaves, because a master doesn’t confide in his slaves. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me. You didn’t choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name. This is my command: Love each other. John 15:12-17 NLT
Have you ever been betrayed by a friend? Have you ever been hurt so badly by a friend that it is unforgivable? Jesus calls us friends, and tells us to love one another as he has loved us. To bear good fruit is to conduct yourself as Jesus would not only in Church on Sundays but even when no one is around….ouch that’s a hard one…… Jesus calling us friends is so amazing after all we have done in our lives!!!! Can you say (GREAT GRACE) today I pray that we would extend the same love that Jesus did, forgive someone that hurt you and live in the wonderful Grace of God…….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’S LOVE ENFOLD YOU in the radiance of HIS Glory. Sit still in the Light of GOD’S Presence, and receive HIS Peace. These quiet moments with The LORD transcend time, accomplishing far more than you can imagine. Bring GOD the sacrifice of your time, and watch to see how abundantly GOD blesses you and your loved ones. Through the intimacy of your relationship, you are being transformed from the inside out. As you keep your focus on The LORD, HE forms you into the one HE desires you to be. Your part is to yield to GOD’S creative work in you, neither resisting it nor trying to speed it up. Enjoy the tempo of a God-breathed life by letting GOD set the pace. Hold The LORD’S hand in childlike trust, and the way before you will open up step by step.”
Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that confess his name. HEBREWS 13 : 15
And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. 2 CORINTHIANS 3 : 18
Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory. PSALM 73 : 23 – 24
Prayer: Lord help me to sit still in your presence and receive your peace and so much more. My mind can’t fathom all the benefits that quality time spent with you involves. Thank you for being an intimate God who knows me better than I know myself, who lives in me, and who is always working things together for my good. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
This is the day the LORD has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalms 118:24 NLT
Good morning, that is a standard greeting right? Well it is a good morning no matter what the situation is. Look around at all the great things there are, sometimes we have to look through the ugly to get to the beauty. Today’s prayer is that we look at all the great things God has done for us, not the one or two problems that may be present…….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 PEACE is the treasure of treasures: the pearl of great price. It is an exquisitely costly gift, both for the Giver and the receiver. JESUS CHRIST, The LORD purchased this Peace for you with HIS blood. You receive this gift by trusting The LORD in the midst of life’s storms. If you have the world’s peace—everything going your way—you don’t seek GOD’S unfathomable Peace. Thank The LORD when things do not go your way, because spiritual blessings come wrapped in trials. Adverse circumstances are normal in a fallen world. Expect them each day. Rejoice in the face of hardship, for The LORD has overcome the world.”
. . . who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it. MATTHEW 13 : 46 (NKJV)
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds. JAMES 1 : 2
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” JOHN 16 : 33
Prayer: Lord thank you when I spend time in your presence you fill me with your peace. It is not a peace I can get anywhere else. And without it, I fumble through the adversities of the day. But oh with it, I can rise above any circumstance and have your perfect peace . In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Give your burdens to the LORD, and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall. Psalms 55:22 NLT
Do you have trust issues? Do you want to believe but somehow can’t? God’s word is full of promises, not maybe or could happen, it’s full of promises!!!! Today I pray that all that have trust issues dive deep into the word of God and read!!!!! The devil wants you to read it as a maybe, but God’s promise is for sure ……Be Blessed & Trust the Lord

“And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.” Colossians 3:17 NKJV
The most powerful statement we have is ” In Jesus Name” for his name has the power to cast out demons, heal, deliver, and destroy fear. Today’s prayer is that we would we would speak life over all situations In Jesus name……Be Blessed

“So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.” 1 Corinthians 15:58 NLT
Do you ever feel like your work for the Lord is all for nothing? Do you feel like you’re not reaching anyone? This scripture tells us that all of our witnesses are and will reach the people. We will probably never know what impact we may have had on someone, but the Lord knows. Today’s prayer is that we would never give up telling people what Jesus has done in our life and will do in theirs ……. 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 grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. 1 Timothy 1:14 NIV
Isn’t it nice to know that you are forgiven? And not only forgiven but unconditionally loved. God loved us so much that he sent Jesus for everyone who declares him Lord and savior. When we miss the mark the devil jumps for joy knowing that condemnation will show up and pull us away from God, but when you truly understand Grace you will know that it empowers us to overcome our shortcomings and draw nearer to God. Today’s prayer is that we would truly understand Grace in its full measure, it’s not only unmerited favor it’s the power to overcome sin………Be Blessed
