‭‭Psalms‬ ‭119 : 143‬

“As pressure and stress bear down on me, I find joy in your commands.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭119 : 143‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Life is full of stress! There are so many different things that can bring stress upon us. The main cause of stress is distrust, if you as a Christian are putting your trust in Jesus there should be no stress, if your trust is in things of the world well there you have it. Today’s prayer is that we would all trust in the Lord with our everything, health, finances, daily life. Live your life as Jesus instructed us to live and trust in 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

TRY TO STAY CONSCIOUS OF GOD as you go step by step through this day – MATTHEW 28 : 20, HEBREWS 12 : 1 – 2

https://youtu.be/xT8XEIBf7w4

“TRY TO STAY CONSCIOUS OF GOD as you go step by step through this day. GOD’S Presence with you is both a promise and a protection. The LORD, JESUS CHRIST’S final statement just before HE ascended into heaven was: “Surely I am with you always”. That promise was for all of The LORD’S followers, without exception. The promise of GOD’S Presence is a powerful protection. As you journey through your life, there are numerous pitfalls along the way. Many voices clamor for your attention, enticing you to go their way. A few steps away from your true path are pits of self-pity and despair, plateaus of pride and self-will. If you take your eyes off GOD and follow another’s way, you are in grave danger. Even well-meaning friends can lead you astray if you let them usurp GOD’S place in your life. The way to stay on the path of Life is to keep your focus on The LORD. Awareness of GOD’S Presence is your best protection.”

Scripture

“And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” MATTHEW 28 : 20

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. HEBREWS 12 : 1 – 2

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, I know the path to life is to keep my focus on you. And when I am tempted by my flesh, the world, and the enemy – remind me that the same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead is in me and greater is He within me than the one who is in the world. Keep me close to you today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭John‬ ‭3 : 30‬

“He must become greater; I must become less.” ‭‭John‬ ‭3 : 30‬ ‭NIV‬‬

This has always been one of my favorite scriptures, it’s very simple “put God first in everything”. In the world today we live in a “Me” mentality and I believe that is the cause of the epic failure we see in society. Today’s prayer is simple: put God first in everything you do and He will always be Greater……..Be Blessed

TAKE TIME TO BE STILL in GOD’S Presence. – PSALM 46 : 10, NUMBERS 6 : 25 – 26

https://youtu.be/GVQI95Tjksc

“TAKE TIME TO BE STILL in GOD’S Presence. The more hassled you feel, the more you need this sacred space of communion with GOD. Breathe slowly and deeply. Relax in GOD’S Holy Presence while HIS Face shines upon you. This is how you receive The LORD’S Peace, which GOD always proffers to you. Imagine the pain GOD feels when HIS children tie themselves up in anxious knots, ignoring HIS gift of Peace. JESUS CHRIST, The LORD died a criminal’s death to secure this blessing for you. Receive it gratefully; hide it in your heart. The LORD’S Peace is an inner treasure, growing within you as you trust in HIM. Therefore, circumstances cannot touch it. Be still, enjoying Peace in GOD’S Presence.”

Scripture

“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” PSALM 46 : 10

“The LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace.” NUMBERS 6 : 25 – 26

Prayer

Prayer: God help me to make time to be still in your presence. I desperately need this time with you each day so you can fill me with your peace, your promises, and your perspective. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

Proverbs‬ ‭18 : 10‬

“The name of the LORD is a strong tower; The righteous run to it and are safe.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭18 : 10‬ ‭

Where do you seek out your refuge? Who do you go to with every situation? The Lord is a strong tower for us and every situation that we have. We can never have too much for God almighty to handle. Today’s prayer is that we would seek our refuge from the Lord, not the world……..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 IS THE CULMINATION of all your hopes and desires. – PSALM 62 : 5 – 8, 1 PETER 2 : 9, JAMES 1 : 17

https://youtu.be/o0VeKw7hnf8

“GOD IS THE CULMINATION of all your hopes and desires. GOD is the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last: who is and was and is to come. Before you knew GOD, you expressed your longing for The LORD in hurtful ways. You were ever so vulnerable to the evil around you in the world. But now The LORD’S Presence safely shields you, enfolding you in HIS loving arms. GOD has lifted you out of darkness into HIS marvelous Light. Though GOD has brought many pleasures into your life, not one of them is essential. Receive The LORD’S blessings with open hands. Enjoy GOD’S good gifts, but do not cling to them. Turn your attention to the Giver of all good things, and rest in the knowledge that you are complete in The LORD. The one thing you absolutely need is the one thing you can never lose: GOD’S Presence with you.”

Scripture

Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken. My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge. Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge. PSALM 62 : 5 – 8

But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. 1 PETER 2 : 9 (NKJV)

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. JAMES 1 : 17

Prayer

Prayer: God help me to receive your blessings with open hands, yet not holding onto anything tighter than I hold onto you. You are the giver of all good things. Keep my eyes fixed on you this week. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Galatians‬ ‭1‬ :‭ 10

Obviously, I’m not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ’s servant. Galatians‬ ‭1‬ :‭ 10‬ NLT

Who are you trying to please? Do you value people’s opinions so much that you set aside your faith to fit in? You see so many Christians following the world’s way Monday through Saturday and then on Sunday it’s to follow Jesus. Today I pray that we all would seek the opinion of the Lord in all we do, in all we do try to please the Lord. The opinions of people are temporal, but the Lord’s opinion is for eternity…..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

Psalm‬ ‭84 : 10‬

“Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.” ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭84 : 10‬ ‭

As a believer the personal relationship with the Lord is priceless. This Psalm speaks of spending one day with the Lord rather than a thousand elsewhere. When you have a personal relationship with Jesus and don’t spend time with him in fellowship, prayer would be like not talking to your husband or wife while they’re sitting right next to you, sooner or later the question will come up ” what’s wrong”. Today’s prayer is that we would take every opportunity to have lines of communication with Jesus for he is there waiting…….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

1 John‬ ‭4 : 16‬

“So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.” ‭‭1 John‬ ‭4 : 16‬ ‭ESV‬‬

What the world is missing is “True Love” and what is the meaning of true love? True love is the love that God displayed for us by sending His Son, JESUS CHRIST to the cross for all of our sins. True love is to have the heart of a servant, to put others before yourself, to be kind in all circumstances. Today’s prayer is that we all would set aside all of the hustle of the world and slow down enough to recognize what love is and show it to all……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

TRUST GOD ENOUGH to let things happen without striving to predict or control them. – PSALM 37 : 3 – 6, PHILIPPIANS 4 : 19

https://youtu.be/BevOv0Fnij0

“TRUST GOD ENOUGH to let things happen without striving to predict or control them. Relax, and refresh yourself in the Light of GOD’S everlasting Love. GOD’S Love-Light never dims, yet you are often unaware of HIS radiant Presence. When you project yourself into the future, rehearsing what you will do or say, you are seeking to be self-sufficient: to be adequate without GOD’S help. This is a subtle sin—so common that it usually slips by unnoticed. The alternative is to live fully in the present, depending on GOD each moment. Rather than fearing your inadequacy, rejoice in GOD’S abundant supply. Train your mind to seek The LORD’S help continually, even when you feel competent to handle something by yourself. Don’t divide your life into things you can do by yourself and things that require GOD help. Instead, learn to rely on The LORD in every situation. This discipline will enable you to enjoy life more and to face each day confidently.”

Scripture

Trust in the LORD and do good;
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in the LORD
and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD;
trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun. PSALM 37 : 3 – 6

And my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 19 (NKJV)

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, help me to refresh myself in your presence and walk hand in hand with you through the day, depending on you each moment. You are my rock, my shield, my comforter. In you I have all I need. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
