James‬ ‭3 : 2 – 5

“We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check. When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark.”
‭‭James‬ ‭3 : 2 – 5‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Are the words you’re speaking into people’s lives edifying or damning? From the ” good morning” to the “what’s wrong with you idiot”. James speaks clearly about the power of the tongue in this scripture just how powerful one little word can affect someone. Today’s prayer is that we would all let God put a bit in our mouths or a rudder on our tongue, that we would edify people no matter how we feel. When someone wrongs you hand it over to God and bite down on that bit……..Be Blessed and tell someone “Good Morning”

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

WHEN THINGS SEEM to be going all wrong, stop and affirm your trust in GOD. – JOB 13 : 15, PSALM 18 : 33, HABAKKUK 3 : 17 – 19

“WHEN THINGS SEEM to be going all wrong, stop and affirm your trust in GOD. Calmly bring these matters to The LORD, and leave them in HIS capable hands. Then, simply do the next thing. Stay in touch with GOD through thankful, trusting prayers, resting in GOD’S sovereign control. Rejoice in The LORD — exult in the God of your salvation! As you trust in GOD, HE makes your feet like the feet of a deer. GOD enables you to walk and make progress upon your high places of trouble, suffering, or responsibility.”

Scripture

Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him. Even so, I will defend my own ways before Him. JOB 13 : 15 (NKJV)

He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he enables me to stand on the heights. PSALM 18 : 33

Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the produce of the olive fail and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold
and there be no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD; I will take joy in the God of my salvation. GOD, the Lord, is my strength; he makes my feet like the deer’s; he makes me tread on my high places. To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. HABAKKUK 3 : 17 – 19

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me to stop and affirm my trust in you and leave all my concerns in your capable hands. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭Psalm‬ ‭84 : 5‬

“Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, Whose heart is set on pilgrimage.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭84 : 5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

How is your relationship with God? Do you go to church on Sunday and that’s where it ends until next Sunday ? Do you stay in constant communication with him daily? This psalm speaks about pilgrimage (meaning a journey, a search for a spiritual place). How is your journey going? Today’s prayer is that we would seek God in all we do and do all we can to please God in our journey………Be Blessed

SIT QUIETLY IN GOD’S PRESENCE while The LORD blesses you. – PSALM 37 : 7, ROMANS 8 : 16 – 17, 1 PETER 2 : 9

“SIT QUIETLY IN GOD’S PRESENCE while The LORD blesses you. Make your mind like a still pool of water, ready to receive whatever thoughts GOD drops into it. Rest in GOD’S sufficiency, as you consider the challenges this day presents. Do not wear yourself out by worrying about whether you can cope with the pressures. Keep looking to The LORD and communicating with HIM, as you walk through this day together. Take time to rest by the wayside, for GOD is not in a hurry. A leisurely pace accomplishes more than hurried striving. When you rush, you forget who you are and whose you are. Remember that you are royalty in GOD’S kingdom.”

Scripture

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

The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. ROMANS 8 : 16 – 17

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 1 PETER 2 : 9

Prayer

Prayer: God help me to make time to sit in your presence. To keep looking at you and talking with you as we walk through this day together. To rest often and feel no guilt, just as you did on the 7th day. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Psalms‬ ‭11 : 7‬

“For the LORD is righteous, He loves righteousness; His countenance beholds the upright.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭11 : 7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Oh to be pleasing to God, he loves when we become more like his Son. The way we think determines the way we act, for example if we look at the negative in all situations we will become negative, if we look at the positives we will become positive. Today’s prayer is that we would be bright witnesses to the positive change having Jesus as the cornerstone in our lives and let all know it’s waiting for them as well…….Be Blessed

BRING GOD THE SACRIFICE of your time: a most precious commodity. – PSALM 21 : 6, JOHN 7 : 38, PSALM 103 : 11

“BRING GOD THE SACRIFICE of your time: a most precious commodity. In this action-addicted world, few of GOD’S children take time to sit quietly in HIS Presence. But for those who do, blessings flow like streams of living water. GOD, the One from whom all blessings flow, is also blessed by your time together. This is a deep mystery; do not try to fathom it. Instead, glorify GOD by delighting in HIM. Enjoy GOD now and forever!”

Scripture

Surely you have granted him eternal blessings and made him glad with the joy of your presence. PSALM 21 : 6

“Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.” JOHN 7 : 38

For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him. PSALM 103 : 11

Prayers

Prayer: Lord you have given everyone the same 24 hours in a day and given us the choice of how to spend it. Today, help me to demonstrate that you are 1st priority in my life by spending time in your presence and your word. Help me to delight in this time with you. Satisfy my thirsty soul. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Isaiah‬ ‭64:8‬

“And yet, O Lord, you are our Father. We are the clay, and you are the potter. We all are formed by your hand.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭64:8‬ ‭NLT‬‬

This scripture describes us as clay and Father God as the Potter. How mold-able is your clay? If you have ever worked with clay you know that it has a mind all its own, sound familiar? And as the potter you have to mold it and tame it and keep it under control. In the same way the Father is always molding us into something beautiful even when we have a mind of our own. Today’s prayer is that we would pray for the Father to mold us into a masterpiece for his Kingdom……Be Blessed

NOTHING CAN SEPARATE YOU from GOD’S Love. – ROMANS 8 : 38 – 39, JOSHUA 1 : 5, ISAIAH 49 : 15 – 16

NOTHING CAN SEPARATE YOU from GOD’S Love. Let this divine assurance trickle through your mind and into your heart and soul. Whenever you start to feel fearful or anxious, repeat this unconditional promise: “Nothing can separate me from Your Love, Jesus.” Most of mankind’s misery stems from feeling unloved. In the midst of adverse circumstances, people tend to feel that love has been withdrawn and they have been forsaken. This feeling of abandonment is often worse than the adversity itself. Be assured that GOD never abandons any of HIS children, not even temporarily. GOD will never leave you or forsake you! GOD’S Presence watches over you continually. The LORD has engraved you on the palms of HIS hands.”

Scripture

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. ROMANS 8 : 38 – 39

No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. JOSHUA 1 : 5

“Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me.” ISAIAH 49 : 15 – 16

Prayer

Prayer: Lord thank you that no matter what happens in this life I know you are always with me and are ready to carry my burdens for me. I need only to surrender them to your more capable hands. I trust you Jesus. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
