Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life. (Psalms 139:23-24 NLT)
Are you anxious about anything? Are you focusing on the negative surroundings? This psalm is saying put your everything in the hands of God, the impure thoughts, worry, stress, anger, God can handle it. Today I pray that we would have God search our hearts and take any imperfections and make them perfect. God is our strength he is our fortress…….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
“HEAVEN IS both present and future. As you walk along your life-path holding GOD’S hand, you are already in touch with the essence of heaven: nearness to GOD. You can also find many hints of heaven along your pathway, because the earth is radiantly alive with GOD’S Presence. Shimmering sunshine awakens your heart, gently reminding you of GOD’S brilliant Light. Birds and flowers, trees and skies evoke praises to HIS Holy Name. Keep your eyes and ears fully open as you journey with GOD. At the end of your life-path is an entrance to heaven. Only The LORD knows when you will reach that destination, but GOD is preparing you for it each step of the way. The absolute certainty of your heavenly home gives you Peace and Joy, to help you along your journey. You know that you will reach your home in GOD’S perfect timing: not one moment too soon or too late. Let the hope of heaven encourage you, as you walk along the path of Life with The LORD.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. But each in his own turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him. 1 CORINTHIANS 15 : 20 – 23
We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain. HEBREWS 6 : 19
Prayer: God help me to walk along life’s path holding your hand, remembering you are always with me. Guiding me, protecting me, providing for me. No matter what circumstance comes my way I know I am Heaven bound and that gives me great hope. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14 NIV
This scripture is so time appropriate!!!! In the world today with all the wicked ways we need to fall on our faces and pray…….Be Blessed and pray hard
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 GOD GIVES YOU no special guidance, stay where you are. Concentrate on doing your everyday tasks in awareness of GOD’S Presence with you. The Joy of GOD’S Presence will shine on you, as you do everything for HIM. Thus you invite The LORD into every aspect of your life. Through collaborating with GOD in all things, you allow HIS Life to merge with yours. This is the secret not only of joyful living but also of victorious living. GOD designed you to depend on HIM moment by moment, recognizing that apart from GOD you can do nothing. Be thankful for quiet days, when nothing special seems to be happening. Instead of being bored by the lack of action, use times of routine to seek GOD’S Face. Although this is an invisible transaction, it speaks volumes in spiritual realms. Moreover, you are richly blessed when you walk trustingly with The LORD through the routines of your day.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men. COLOSSIANS 3 : 23

Prayer: Lord help me to do my everyday tasks in awareness of your presence with me. I invite you into every aspect of my life. I need you moment by moment. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“Then the angel spoke to the women. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen. Come, see where his body was lying. And now, go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and he is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there. Remember what I have told you.”” Matthew 28:5-7 NLT
Today is not a day of bunnies and eggs it’s the day that our Lord conquered the grave!!!!! Today’s prayer is that we would teach our children the true meaning of Easter and teach them with some chocolate in hand😊Be Blessed and Happy Resurrection Day
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new
“For I pass on to you what I received from the Lord himself. On the night when he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took some bread and gave thanks to God for it. Then he broke it in pieces and said, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, he took the cup of wine after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant between God and his people—an agreement confirmed with my blood. Do this in remembrance of me as often as you drink it.” For every time you eat this bread and drink this cup, you are announcing the Lord’s death until he comes again. So anyone who eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord unworthily is guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. That is why you should examine yourself before eating the bread and drinking the cup. For if you eat the bread or drink the cup without honoring the body of Christ, you are eating and drinking God’s judgment upon yourself.” 1Corinthians 11:23-29
Communion is one of the most sacred things you can do to honor what Jesus did for us on the Cross. The symbolism of the bread and the wine is so critically important as believers. Today’s prayer is that we would all take communion as often as we can, it not only brings us into remembrance of what Jesus did for us but it also brings us closer to God Almighty….. 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
For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
Psalms 30:5 KJV

“TRUST GOD IN EVERY DETAIL OF YOUR LIFE. Nothing is random in GOD’S kingdom. Everything that happens fits into a pattern for good, to those who love GOD. Instead of trying to analyse the intricacies of the pattern, focus your energy on trusting The LORD and thanking HIM at all times. Nothing is wasted when you walk close to The LORD. Even your mistakes and sins can be recycled into something good, through GOD’S transforming grace. While you were still living in darkness, GOD began to shine the Light of HIS Presence into your sin-stained life. Finally, GOD lifted you up out of the mire into HIS marvellous Light. Having sacrificed HIS very Life for you, The LORD can be trusted in every facet of your life.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
“But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him.” JEREMIAH 17 : 7
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. ROMANS 8 : 28
He drew me up out of a horrible pit [a pit of tumult and of destruction], out of the miry clay (froth and slime), and set my feet upon a rock, steadying my steps and establishing my goings. PSALM 40 : 2
