The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life. (John 10:10)
Are you letting someone or something steal your joy? Are you letting the circumstance control you? Well don’t!!! The devil works in and through many situations so let your joy always trump the situation. Today I pray that our attitudes will always look to the blessings we experience everyday and not the temporary problems……In Jesus Name 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
“REST IN GOD, YOU ARE HIS CHILD. Give your mind a break from planning and trying to anticipate what will happen. Pray continually, asking GOD’S Holy Spirit to take charge of the details of this day. Remember that you are on a journey with GOD. When you try to peer into the future and plan for every possibility, you ignore your constant Companion who sustains you moment by moment. As you gaze anxiously into the distance, you don’t even feel the strong grip of GOD’S hand holding yours. How foolish you are, GOD’S child! Remembrance of The LORD is a daily discipline. Never lose sight of GOD’S Presence with you. This will keep you resting in The LORD all day, every day.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
Pray continually. 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 17
Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him. PSALM 62 : 5
Prayer: Lord help me to rest in you. Holy Spirit, take charge of the details of this day. Help me to talk to you throughout the day and fix my eyes on Jesus, the only one who keeps me in perfect peace no matter what is going on around me. In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen.
“For it is by free grace (God’s unmerited favor) that you are saved (delivered from judgement and made partakers of Christ’s salvation) through [your] faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [of your own doing, it came not through your own striving], but it is the gift of God;” Ephesians 2:8 AMP
I love this translation, it explains Grace to a Tee. I believe sometimes as Christians we forget that God’s grace is such a beautiful gift, sometimes we act like it’s our actions that create our peace. The fact of the matter is if not for grace we would be living a life of destruction! But by our faith in Jesus we now have become Sons and Daughters of God. Today’s prayer is that we would never stop thanking God for his Grace and live a life that is pleasing to him……..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
“SEEK TO LIVE IN GOD’S LOVE, which covers a multitude of sins: both yours and others’. Wear GOD’S Love like a cloak of Light, covering you from head to toe. Have no fear, for perfect Love decimates fear. Look at other people through lenses of Love; see them from GOD’S perspective. This is how you walk in the Light, and it pleases GOD. The LORD wants HIS Body of believers to be radiant with the Light of HIS Presence. How The LORD grieves when pockets of darkness increasingly dim the Love-Light. Return to GOD, your First Love! Gaze at The LORD in the splendor of holiness, and GOD’S Love will once again envelop you in Light.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. 1 PETER 4 : 8
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. 1 JOHN 4 : 18
Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love. REVELATION 2 : 4
Prayer: Lord help me to see all people as you see them, from your perspective and love them as you love them. Help me to wear your love like a cloak of light today, all for your glory. I love because you first loved me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 15:13 NLT)
Your outlook on life can sometimes be controlled by the circumstances, the chaos around you steals your peace, but Gods promise and standing on his word brings all the issues into perspective. Today I pray peace and hope to all, trust in Gods promise and let the spirit direct your path……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
Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice! (Philippians 4:4 NLT)
Has someone or something taken your joy? Well it’s temporary. Joy in things of the world will at some point leave you wanting something more, something bigger, but joy in the Lord our one true hope will never leave us craving more. Today I pray that whatever brings you joy would be put aside and your true joy would come from the Lord…..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
“REMEMBER THAT YOU LIVE IN a fallen world: an abnormal world tainted by sin. Much frustration and failure result from your seeking perfection in this life. There is nothing perfect in this world except GOD. That is why closeness to GOD satisfies deep yearnings and fills you with Joy. GOD has planted longing for perfection in every human heart. This is a good desire, which The LORD alone can fulfill. But most people seek this fulfillment in other people and earthly pleasures or achievements. Thus they create idols, before which they bow down. GOD will have no other gods before HIM. Make GOD the deepest desire of your heart. Let GOD fulfill your yearning for perfection. ” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
“You shall have no other gods before me.” EXODUS 20 : 3
Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. PSALM 37 : 4
Prayer: God only you can fill the deep yearning in my soul. When I have trouble in this life, help me to remember I live between two gardens, Eden and Heaven. One day, I will be in my perfect body with you for eternity. Thank you Jesus for making it possible. Amen.
“Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.” Psalm 20:7 NIV
Where is your trust ? What makes you feel trustworthy?. Material things have a way of giving you false trust, trusting in God gives you eternal security. Today’s prayer is that we would put our trust in God for all things, turn to God in all circumstances, and trust that God will be there for you always……. 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 short comings 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
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 WANTS TO BE CENTRAL in your entire being. When your focus is firmly on GOD, HIS Peace displaces fears and worries. Fears and worries will encircle you, seeking entrance, so you must stay alert. Let trust and thankfulness stand guard, turning back fear before it can gain a foothold. There is no fear in GOD’S Love, which shines on you continually. Sit quietly in GOD’S Love-Light, while The LORD blesses you with radiant Peace. Turn your whole being to trusting and loving GOD.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you. 2 THESSALONIANS 3 : 16
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. 1 JOHN 4 : 18
Prayer: Lord I pray for justice and peace to abound in every city in our nation. And may it begin with me. Search me Lord. Show me any offense in me. Cleanse me. Place a new heart in me today, one that looks more like you Jesus and less like me. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
