https://youtu.be/IW7aLKQNVw8

“TRY TO VIEW EACH DAY as an adventure, carefully planned out by your Guide. Instead of staring into the day that is ahead of you, attempting to program it according to your will, be attentive to GOD and to all HE has prepared for you. Thank GOD for this day of life, recognizing that it is a precious, unrepeatable gift. Trust that GOD is with you each moment, whether you sense HIS Presence or not. A thankful, trusting attitude helps you to see events in your life from GOD’S perspective.”

Scripture

This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. PSALM 118 : 24 

To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps. 1 PETER 2 : 21

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, help me receive this day as an unrepeatable gift from You, not something I have to control. Teach me to trust Your guidance, stay attentive to You, and walk through today with gratitude and quiet confidence in Your presence. Amen.

LET GOD PREPARE YOU for the day that stretches out before you. | EXODUS 33 : 14, JOHN 15 : 4 – 7

“LET GOD PREPARE YOU for the day that stretches out before you. GOD knows exactly what this day will contain, whereas you have only vague ideas about it. You would like to see a map, showing all the twists and turns of your journey. You’d feel more prepared if you could somehow visualize what is on the road ahead. However, there is a better way to be prepared for whatever you will encounter today: Spend quality time with GOD. The LORD will not show you what is on the road ahead, but HE will thoroughly equip you for the journey. GOD’S living Presence is your Companion each step of the way. Stay in continual communication with GOD, whispering HIS Name whenever you need to redirect your thoughts. Thus, you can walk through this day with your focus on The LORD. HIS abiding Presence is the best road map available.”

Scripture

The LORD replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” EXODUS 33 : 14

“Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you.” JOHN 15 : 4 – 7

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, prepare my heart for this day as I spend time with You. Even when I cannot see what lies ahead, help me trust that Your presence will guide and equip me for every step. Keep my eyes fixed on you as I walk through today. Amen.

2 Timothy‬ ‭4‬ :‭ 18

Yes, and the Lord will deliver me from every evil attack and will bring me safely into his heavenly Kingdom. All glory to God forever and ever! Amen. 2 Timothy‬ ‭4‬ :‭ 18‬ NLT

GOD IS WITH YOU AND FOR YOU. | ROMANS 8 : 31, PSALM 46 : 1 – 3, LUKE 1 : 37

“GOD IS WITH YOU AND FOR YOU. When you decide on a course of action that is in line with GOD’S will, nothing in heaven or on earth can stop you. You may encounter many obstacles as you move toward your goal, but don’t be discouraged—never give up! With GOD’S help, you can overcome any obstacle. Do not expect an easy path as you journey hand in hand with GOD, but do remember that The LORD, your very-present Helper, is omnipotent. Much, much stress results from your wanting to make things happen before their times have come. One of the main ways The LORD asserts HIS sovereignty is in the timing of events. If you want to stay close to GOD and do things HIS way, ask The LORD to show you the path forward moment by moment. Instead of dashing headlong toward your goal, let The LORD set the pace. Slow down, and enjoy the journey in GOD’S Presence.”

Scripture

What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? ROMANS 8 : 31

God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, Even though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though its waters roar and be troubled, Though the mountains shake with its swelling. PSALM 46 : 1 – 3 (NKJV)

“For nothing is impossible with God.” LUKE 1 : 37

Prayer

Prayer: Lord thank you for reminding me when the desires of my heart are in line with your will, nothing in heaven or on earth can stop it from happening. Show me the path forward, moment by moment. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Psalms‬ ‭103 : 22‬

“Praise the LORD, everything he has created, everything in all his kingdom. Let all that I am praise the LORD.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭103 : 22‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Sometimes we get so caught up in our daily lives we stop one day and think, when was the last time I gave thanks to GOD for all he does? Prayer and communication should be a by the hour thing with Our LORD. Today’s prayer is that we all would give thanks and praise in all things to The LORD, good and bad because we know all Good comes from The LORD, and all the bad The LORD will turn to good for HIS glory ……….. Be Blessed and Praise HIM !!

SOFTLY GOD ANNOUNCES HIS PRESENCE. | PSALM 46 : 1, ROMANS 12 : 12, ROMANS 15 : 13

“SOFTLY GOD ANNOUNCES HIS PRESENCE. Shimmering hues of radiance tap gently at your consciousness, seeking entrance. Though GOD has all Power in heaven and on earth, GOD is infinitely tender with you. The weaker you are, the more gently GOD approaches you. Let your weakness be a door to GOD’S Presence. Whenever you feel inadequate, remember that The LORD is your ever-present Help. Hope in JESUS CHRIST, The LORD, and you will be protected from depression and self-pity. Hope is like a golden cord connecting you to heaven. The more you cling to this cord, the more The LORD bears the weight of your burdens; thus, you are lightened. Heaviness is not of GOD’S kingdom. Cling to hope, and GOD’S rays of Light will reach you through the darkness.”

Scripture

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. PSALM 46 : 1

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. ROMANS 12 : 12
