Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 NLT
To have a joyful heart is to know how blessed you are, to pray in all circumstances is to acknowledge that Jesus is in control, to give thanks in all circumstances is our reasonable service for what God has done for us… Today I pray that all would be joyful, thankful, and pray through all situations……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
“I will love You, O LORD, my strength. The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; So shall I be saved from my enemies.” Psalms 18:1-3 NKJV
David was known to be a man after God’s heart are you? This Psalm is beautiful in so many ways and covers a multitude of areas. Today’s prayer is that we would pray this daily for God is our hope in darkness our strength in weakness our be there in everything…… Be Blessed

“DO NOT SEARCH FOR SECURITY in the world you inhabit. You tend to make mental checklists of things you need to do in order to gain control of your life. If only you could check everything off your list, you could relax and be at peace. But the more you work to accomplish that goal, the more things crop up on your list. The harder you try, the more frustrated you become. There is a better way to find security in this life. Instead of scrutinizing your checklist, focus your attention on GOD’S Presence with you. This continual contact with GOD will keep you in HIS Peace. Moreover, The LORD will help you sort out what is important and what is not, what needs to be done now and what does not. Fix your eyes not on what is seen (your circumstances), but on what is unseen (GOD’S Presence).”
You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You. ISAIAH 26 : 3 (NKJV)
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 18
Prayer: Lord, instead of scrutinizing my checklist help me to focus my attention on your presence with me. Then you will help me sort out what is important and what is not. Help me to accept there will always be things on my to do list, but none are as important as spending time with You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us.” Psalms 103:12 NKJV
Wow such a forgiving, loving, caring God we serve. Condemnation creeps into our spirits everyday if we let it! If we know that the Cross removed all it will not move us!!!! Today’s prayer is that when we miss the mark that we would embrace Gods love for us and move on trying to do better, although we will never be perfect God see us through the blood of Jesus and in his eyes we are perfect……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
People may be right in their own eyes, but the LORD examines their heart. Proverbs 21:2 NLT
Are we being the kind of Christian that Jesus longs for us to be or just a Christian on the outside? God sees our heart and knows the true us. Today I pray that we would search ourselves and see if we are being the person that Jesus wants, as Christians we not only have to have a fancy cover but depth to our pages……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 for all that you need. Come into GOD’S Presence with thanksgiving, for thankfulness opens the door to HIS treasures. When you are thankful, you affirm the central truth that GOD is Good. GOD is Light, in whom there is no darkness at all. The assurance that GOD is entirely Good meets your basic need for security. Your life is not subject to the whims of a sin-stained deity. Relax in the knowledge that the One who controls your life is totally trustworthy. Come to GOD with confident expectations. There is nothing you need that GOD cannot provide.”
Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song. PSALM 95 : 2
This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. 1 JOHN 1 : 5
Prayer: Lord thank you that you are not just loving you are love and you are light. Thank you for your gift of a beautiful sunrise and sunset. For flowers blooming, birds singing, and hearts still pumping. Thank you for providing for all my needs. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned to me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God. Acts 20:24 NLT
Grace is an undeserved favor, Grace is everlasting forgiveness,Grace is Jesus Christ. This scripture talks about how can you not tell everyone you meet about Grace? What good is Grace in your life if you don’t tell how you got it? Today I pray that we all would tell everyone about God’s great Grace and his name is Jesus……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
“MEET GOD IN MORNING STILLNESS, while the earth is fresh with the dew of The LORD’S Presence. Worship GOD in the beauty of holiness. Sing love songs to GOD’S holy Name. As you give yourself to The LORD, HIS Holy Spirit dwells within you till you are flooded with divine Presence. The world’s way of pursuing riches is grasping and hoarding. You attain GOD’S riches by letting go and giving. The more you give yourself to GOD and HIS ways, the more GOD fills you with inexpressible, heavenly Joy.”
Give unto the LORD the glory due to His name; Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. PSALM 29 : 2 (NKJV)
Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy. 1 PETER 1 : 8
Prayer: Lord, I give myself to you anew today. As I do I feel your Spirit swelling within me, filling me with your peace and joy, until I am flooded with your presence. Help me attain your riches by letting go and giving. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“YOU CANNOT SERVE TWO MASTERS. If GOD is truly your Master, you will desire to please GOD above all others. If pleasing people is your goal, you will be enslaved to them. People can be harsh taskmasters when you give them this power over you. If GOD is the Master of your life, GOD will also be your First Love. Your serving The LORD is rooted and grounded in The LORD’s vast, unconditional Love for you. The lower you bow down before GOD, the higher GOD lifts you up into intimate an relationship with HIM. The Joy of living in GOD’S Presence outshines all other pleasures. GOD wants you to reflect HIS joyous Light by living in increasing intimacy with HIM.”
“No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.” MATTHEW 6 : 24
Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love. REVELATION 2 : 4
I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love. . . . EPHESIANS 3 : 16 – 17
You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand. PSALM 16 : 11
Prayer: Lord help me to truly understand that the joy of living in your presence outshines all other pleasures this world could offer. To focus on pleasing you above people and reflecting your light in an increasingly dark world. A world desperate for a Savior. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice.’ For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”” Matthew 9:13 NKJV
Do you think you’re not good enough? Do you think you have to get your act cleaned up before you can call upon the Lord? Jesus tells us he did not call for the righteous but the sinners to repent. Most of the Christians I know (including myself) could not have been further from God when they met him and most of them are the most on fire believers I know. Today’s prayer is that we would witness our testimony to those who do not believe and let them know Jesus is waiting with arms wide open no matter where they are…….Be Blessed
