Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing. James 1:2-4 NLT
You have heard the saying ” what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger” that is what James is saying here. Trials come and go, but each and every one teach us a life lesson. Jesus endured trials everyday of his life but he knew the end result…..Today I pray that we all would know the end result when trials come our way……..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
“For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 3:11 NKJV
We all have daily routines and we all have our daily habits, are they based on a foundation of Jesus? Life can become so busy that you can just about forget about everything you love and look back at the end of the day and say wow!!!! Today’s prayer is that our lives would be based on a foundation of Christ! From the time we wake up til the time we go too bed and watch the transformation take place……..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 WITH GOD FOR A WHILE. GOD has much to tell you. You are walking along the path GOD has chosen for you. It is both a privileged and a perilous way: experiencing The LORD’S glorious Presence and heralding that reality to others. Sometimes you feel presumptuous to be carrying out such an assignment. Do not worry about what other people think of you. The work GOD is doing in you is hidden at first. But eventually blossoms will burst forth, and abundant fruit will be borne. Stay on the path of Life with GOD. Trust The LORD wholeheartedly, letting GOD’S Holy Spirit fill you with Joy and Peace.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
“O LORD, God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven above or on earth below—you who keep your covenant of love with your servants who continue wholeheartedly in your way.” 1 KINGS 8 : 23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. GALATIANS 5 : 22 – 23
Prayer: God help me to stay on the path of life with you. To trust you wholeheartedly, letting your Spirit fill me with joy and peace as rest in you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15:13 NIV
So many things happen in our day to day life it can be easy to become discouraged and lose hope. Jesus left us the one called the counselor to know how to deal with situations like Jesus, He left us the one called the comforter to never lose hope, He left us the Holy Spirit to direct every step of our lives if we allow him too. Today’s prayer is that we would understand that Jesus overcame what we couldn’t overcome and left us the one who can get us through life with that great hope……Be Blessed

“THE LORD IS A GOD WHO HEALS. GOD heals broken bodies, broken minds, broken hearts, broken lives, and broken relationships. GOD’S very Presence has immense healing powers. You cannot live close to GOD without experiencing some degree of healing. However, it is also true that you have not because you ask not. You receive the healing that flows naturally from THE LORD’S Presence, whether you seek it or not. But there is more— much more—available to those who ask. The first step in receiving healing is to live ever so close to GOD. The benefits of this practice are too numerous to list. As you grow more and more intimate with GOD, HE reveals HIS will to you more directly. When the time is right, The LORD prompts you to ask for healing of some brokenness in you or in another person. The healing may be instantaneous, or it may be a process. That is up to GOD. Your part is to trust GOD fully and to thank The LORD for the restoration that has begun. GOD rarely heals all the brokenness in a person’s life. Even GOD’S servant Paul was told, “My grace is sufficient for you,” when he sought healing for the thorn in his flesh. Nonetheless, much healing is available to those whose lives are intimately interwoven with The LORD’S. Ask, and you will receive.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
. . . who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases . . . PSALM 103 : 3
To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 2 CORINTHIANS 12 : 7 – 9
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” MATTHEW 7 : 7
Prayer: Lord help me to live ever so close to you today. Thank you for your incredible healing, mercy, and grace. Prompt me to pray for healing more Lord. We sure need it in these times. I trust your timing Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“GOD CONTINUALLY CALLS YOU to closeness with HIM. GOD knows the depth and breadth of your need for HIM. GOD can read the emptiness of your thoughts when they wander away from HIM. GOD offers rest for your soul, as well as refreshment for your mind and body. As you increasingly find fulfillment in The LORD, other pleasures become less important. Knowing The LORD intimately is like having a private wellspring of Joy within you. This spring flows freely from GOD’S throne of grace, so your Joy is independent of circumstances. Waiting in The LORD’S Presence keeps you connected to GOD, aware of all that HE offers you. If you feel any deficiency, you need to refocus your attention on GOD. This is how you trust The LORD in the moments of your life.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
But I have stilled and quieted my soul; like a weaned child with its mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me. PSALM 131 : 2
Surely you have granted him eternal blessings and made him glad with the joy of your presence. PSALM 21 : 6
Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. PSALM 37 : 7
Prayer: Lord when I make time for you, you offer me rest for my soul and refreshment for my mind and body. It’s so amazing the creator of the stars wants to spend time with me and give me such good gifts when I do. Help me to put you first in my life so that despite any circumstance I can have peace and joy because of you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever. (1 Chronicles 16:34 NLT)
No matter where you’re at, No matter what circumstance you’re going through, God is faithful!!!! He is always there and Jesus always has his hand upon the situation. Today I pray that in the middle of the storm we will praise his holy name!!!! And instead of asking him to bring us through the situation, Thank him for bringing us through the situation in his perfect timing…….Be Blessed
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new
“What is the price of two sparrows—one copper coin? But not a single sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it. And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows.” Matthew 10:29-31 NLT
Do you ever feel unworthy? Ever wonder if you’re good enough? Well you can be assured by mans standards you will probably never be good enough, but by God almighty’s standard you are perfect. Today’s prayer is that we would live to please God !! Live by Gods example….. 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
“EXPECT TO ENCOUNTER ADVERSITY in your life, remembering that you live in a deeply fallen world. Stop trying to find a way that circumvents difficulties. The main problem with an easy life is that it masks your need for GOD. When you became a Christian, GOD infused HIS very Life into you, empowering you to live on a supernatural plane by depending on GOD. Anticipate coming face to face with impossibilities: situations totally beyond your ability to handle. This awareness of your inadequacy is not something you should try to evade. It is precisely where The LORD wants you—the best place to encounter The LORD in HIS Glory and Power. When you see armies of problems marching toward you, cry out to GOD! Allow The LORD to fight for you. Watch GOD working on your behalf, as you rest in the shadow of HIS Almighty Presence.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude in heaven shouting: “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God, . . .” REVELATION 19 : 1
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. PSALM 91 : 1
Prayer: Lord thank you that in trials you teach me to depend on you. Fight the battle for me Lord, and help me to let go and rest in your presence. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces. Psalms 34:5 NLT
Is it hard for you to ask for help? Do you fell like you are weak if you do ask for help? God is waiting with open arms to help us through any situation or struggle, weakness comes from those who are proud, strength comes to those who humble themselves at the foot of the cross. Today I pray that we would all turn to Jesus for the solution, not the world…….Be Blessed
