But I am trusting you, O LORD, saying, “You are my God!” Psalms 31:14 NLT
Trust is a character that is lacking in today’s world, to trust someone is to confide your all to them!!! When you truly understand God’s love for you it’s easy to trust him. Today I pray that we would all put our 100% trust in the Lord and not in the things of 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’S PEACE is like a shaft of golden Light shining on you continuously. During days of bright sunshine, it may blend in with your surroundings. On darker days, GOD’S Peace stands out in sharp contrast to your circumstances. See times of darkness as opportunities for GOD’S Light to shine in transcendent splendor. The LORD is training you to practice Peace that overpowers darkness. Collaborate with The LORD in this training. Do not grow weary and lose heart.”
In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. JOHN 1 : 4 – 5
Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. HEBREWS 12 : 3
Prayer: Lord, thank you for training me to practice peace that overpowers darkness. Sometimes it isn’t easy, but with your strength, I can do all things. Keep me close to you today and this weekend. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“I have given them the glory you gave me, so they may be one as we are one. I am in them and you are in me. May they experience such perfect unity that the world will know that you sent me and that you love them as much as you love me. John 17:22-23 NLT
Jesus said he gave us perfect unity so that our witness will be different from the world, how is your witness working out? Do you respond to situations like someone who doesn’t know Jesus? Or do you respond with the values of the promise he gave us? Today I pray that our responses would be filled with faith and on the foundation of God’s living word and promise…..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
Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God, who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began, 2 Timothy 1:8 – 9 NKJV
Oh to be like Paul was, this should be our prayers. The revelation that was given to Paul was incredible and the fact that he wrote it for us to have is even better. Paul was saying never, ever, ever be ashamed of the words of Jesus – stand strong and take the ridicule. Paul understood that we were saved not by our works but by Grace. God is not interested in our religious acts, he is interested in our hearts, knowing that under all circumstances that we glorify him and his son. Self check, are you glorifying him in all situations? My prayer for all is to see through any situation and give God all the glory, for we are saved by grace not by our works…………
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 spend ample time with HIM, pushing back the demands of the day. Refuse to feel guilty about something that is so pleasing to GOD, the King of the universe. Because GOD is omnipotent, He is able to bend time and events in your favor. You will find that you can accomplish more in less time, after you have given yourself to The LORD in rich communion. Also, as you align yourself with GOD’S perspective, you can sort out what is important and what is not. Don’t fall into the trap of being constantly on the go. Many, many things people do in The LORD’S Name have no value in HIS kingdom. To avoid doing meaningless works, stay in continual communication with GOD. The LORD will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; The LORD will counsel you with HIS eye upon you.”
“Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” LUKE 10 : 41 – 42
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye. PSALM 32 : 8 (NKJV)
Prayer: Lord help me to trust You enough to spend ample time with you each day. When I do, I’m amazed how you help me accomplish more in less time. Help me to sort out what is important and what is not today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
““In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,” Ephesians 4:26 NIV
Forgiveness is one of the hardest things in the world to do when you are not in constant communication with God, when you are not meditating daily in his word. When you are in continual prayer forgiveness becomes much easier, just think if God would not have sent his Son in the place of our sin!!! Devastating. Today’s prayer is that we would never end our day with anger in our hearts or anything against someone, forgive as you have been forgiven……..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 GOD’S FACE more and more. You are really just beginning your journey of intimacy with GOD. It is not an easy road, but it is a delightful and privileged way: a treasure hunt. GOD is the Treasure, and the Glory of GOD’S Presence glistens and shimmers along the way. Hardships are part of the journey too. The LORD metes them out ever so carefully, in just the right dosage, with a tenderness you can hardly imagine. Do not recoil from afflictions, since they are among GOD’S most favored gifts. Trust The LORD and don’t be afraid, for HE is your Strength and Song.”
My heart says of you, “Seek his face!” Your face, LORD, I will seek. PSALM 27 : 8
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 7
“Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The LORD, the LORD, is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.” ISAIAH 12 : 2
Prayer: Lord, this journey of intimacy with you is like a treasure hunt and you are the treasure. The more I get to know you the more exciting the journey becomes. So much love, joy, hope, peace and goodness – I’m in pure awe of you Lord. Thank you for adopting me into your family. I’m eternally grateful. Because of Jesus. Amen.
“God is my strong fortress, and he makes my way perfect.” 2 Samuel 22:33 NLT
Today’s world is based on self, values are whatever your beliefs are. A life with God as your foundation will lead to more peace, better decisions, more compassion for others, and last but not least L.O.V.E Today’s prayer is less of us and more of God……..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 ABOVE ALL THINGS: your problems, your pain, and the swirling events in this ever-changing world. When you behold The LORD’S Face, you rise above circumstances and rest with GOD in heavenly realms. This is the way of Peace, living in the Light of GOD’S Presence. GOD guarantees that you will always have problems in this life, but they must not become your focus. When you feel yourself sinking in the sea of circumstances, say “Help me, Jesus!” and CHRIST, The LORD will draw you back to HIM. If you have to say that thousands of times daily, don’t be discouraged. GOD knows your weakness, and GOD meets you in that very place.”
And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus. EPHESIANS 2 : 6
“Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?” And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. MATTHEW 14 : 28 – 32
Prayer: God help me to spend time with you each day so you can fill me with the fruits of the Spirit, providing the exact portion of daily bread I need to rise above whatever situation may come my way. And when I worry or doubt, help my unbelief Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you. Philippians 4:9 NLT
Are you striving to live a life of victory? Are you doing your best to be an example of Christ ? We as Christians should all be. This scripture talks about putting all we have learned into practice, are you making a daily effort to practice? Today I pray that God would give us direction and correction when we stray off the path and help us all be the example he intends for us to be…….Be Blessed
