“For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.” Philippians 4:13 NLT
We were created to be victors! Not victims!!! We were created to do great things, not mediocre things!!! The world will say different but we are not of this world!!!! Today’s prayer is that when you feel not good enough, you are! When you feel like life is unfair, look at all your blessings! And when you just feel like giving up, Look to the Cross…..Be Blessed and always know you are perfect in God’s eyes
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 when you are weak and weary. Rest snugly in GOD’S everlasting arms. GOD does not despise your weakness, you are HIS child. Actually, it draws The LORD closer to you, because weakness stirs up HIS compassion—HIS yearning to help. Accept yourself in your weariness, knowing that GOD understands how difficult your journey has been. Do not compare yourself with others, who seem to skip along their life-paths with ease. Their journeys have been different from yours, and GOD has gifted them with abundant energy. GOD has gifted you with fragility, providing opportunities for your spirit to blossom in HIS Presence. Accept this gift as a sacred treasure: delicate, yet glowing with brilliant Light. Rather than struggling to disguise or deny your weakness, allow GOD to bless you richly through it.”
A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out. In faithfulness he will bring forth justice. ISAIAH 42 : 3
“Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the LORD, who has compassion on you. ISAIAH 54 : 10
In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. ROMANS 8 : 26
Prayer: Lord I come to you when I am weak and weary and rest snugly in your everlasting arms. Thank you for my weaknesses because they remind me to depend on you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,” Ephesians 2:4-6 NIV
Still think you’re not worthy? Still think you are not good enough? This scripture tells us that even though we were not worthy of God’s grace it was freely given to us because of God’s love for us. Grace is not a license to sin, it’s a reason not too. Today’s prayer is that we would live the life that God ordained for each one of us, when you miss the mark REPENT!!! don’t regress and truly let the grace of God work in your life…….Be Blessed & remember to Bless someone else
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
“LEARN TO ENJOY LIFE MORE. Relax, remembering that GOD is with you. GOD crafted you with enormous capacity to know HIM and enjoy HIS Presence. When GOD’S people wear sour faces and walk through their lives with resigned rigidity, GOD is displeased. When you walk through a day with childlike delight, savoring every blessing, you proclaim your trust in GOD, your ever-present Shepherd. The more you focus on GOD’S Presence with you, the more fully you can enjoy life. Glorify The LORD through your pleasure in HIM. Thus you proclaim GOD’S Presence to the watching world.”
“The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”—which means, “God with us.” MATTHEW 1 : 23
“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.” JOHN 10 : 10 – 11
Prayer: Lord help me to enjoy life more and walk through today with childlike delight and joy, savoring every blessing. Help me to focus more on your presence than problems. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams.” Psalms 23:1-2 NLT
Such a peaceful scripture, isn’t it nice to know that we serve a Lord that offers refuge and peace not only for our soul but for our present body. Today’s prayer is that we would all know that God has it!!!! Always has always will……..Be Blessed and trust and chill out
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. Come to GOD. Come to GOD. This is GOD’S continual invitation to you, proclaimed in holy whispers. When your heart and mind are quiet, you can hear The LORD inviting you to draw near. Coming close to GOD requires no great effort on your part; it is more like ceasing to resist the magnetic pull of GOD’S Love. Open yourself to The LORD’S loving Presence, so that Christ may fill you with HIS fullness. GOD want you to experience how wide and long and high and deep is HIS Love for you, so that you can know HIS Love that surpasses knowledge. This vast ocean of Love cannot be measured or explained, but it can be experienced.”
The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life. REVELATION 22 : 17
All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. JOHN 6 : 37
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, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. EPHESIANS 3 : 16 – 19
Prayer: Quiet my heart and mind so I can hear you inviting me to draw near to you Lord. So that I can feel your overwhelming love for me and share that love with others today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children.” Ephesians 5:1 NLT
What does it mean to imitate God? As we all know we could never be as the Almighty is, but this scripture says to imitate (take or follow as a model) . This definition is very clear BE LIKE! To be like God is to be all forgiving, all loving, all good. Today’s prayer is as we will never be like God we should all strive to follow his will for our lives, and that is all better than we were…….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
“RELAX IN GOD’S HEALING, holy Presence. Allow GOD to transform you through this time alone with HIM. As your thoughts center more and more on GOD, trust displaces fear and worry. Your mind is somewhat like a seesaw. As your trust in The LORD goes up, fear and worry automatically go down. Time spent with GOD not only increases your trust; it also helps you discern what is important and what is not. Energy and time are precious, limited entities. Therefore, you need to use them wisely, focusing on what is truly important. As you walk close to The LORD, saturating your mind with Scripture, The LORD will show you how to spend your time and energy. GOD’S Word is a lamp to your feet; GOD’S Presence is a Light for your path.”
See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. EPHESIANS 5 : 15 – 16 (NKJV)
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path. PSALM 119 : 105
Prayer: God help me to relax in your healing holy presence. Show me how to spend my time and energy as I saturate my mind in your word. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime! Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning. Psalms 30:5 NLT
Yesterday is gone, whatever issue was the problem has left with it. This Psalm says that God’s favor lasts forever. Today I pray that we would not hold on to the problems of yesterday, and look to the joy of today……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
“WEAR CHRIST THE LORD’S ROBE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS with ease. CHRIST THE LORD custom-made it for you, to cover you from head to toe. The price JESUS CHRIST paid for this covering was astronomical— HIS own blood. You could never purchase such a royal garment, no matter how hard you worked. Sometimes you forget that The LORD’S righteousness is a gift, and you feel ill at ease in your regal robe. JESUS CHRIST weeps when HE sees you squirming under the velvety fabric, as if it were made of scratchy sackcloth. GOD wants you to trust HIM enough to realize your privileged position in GOD’S kingdom. Relax in the luxuriant folds of your magnificent robe. Keep your eyes on The LORD, as you practice walking in this garment of righteousness. When your behavior is unfitting for one in CHRIST’S kingdom, do not try to throw off your royal robe. Instead, throw off the unrighteous behavior. Then you will be able to feel at ease in this glorious garment, enjoying the gift The LORD fashioned for you before the foundation of the world.”
I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. ISAIAH 61 : 10
God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 21
You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. EPHESIANS 4 : 22 – 24
Prayer: God, renew my mind and shape my heart and attitude to look more like yours today. And when my behavior is unfitting, help me to quickly throw off that behavior and humbly keep my robe of righteousness on with my head held high. Not because of who I am, but whose I am. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
