Job‬ ‭19‬:‭25

“But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, and he will stand upon the earth at last. Job‬ ‭19‬:‭25‬ NLT

We have so many things that we hope for, that we dream about, that we pray for, but the reality is all of those things are temporary. The promise that we have of our Lord’s return is eternal….. Today I pray that we all will not lose sight of the return of Jesus, nice things are great but nothing compared to the eternal promise of Heaven…..Be Blessed & Be A Blessing

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new 2 Corinthians 5:1

BE ON GUARD against the pit of self-pity. – PSALM 89 : 15 – 16, HEBREWS 12 : 1 – 2

“BE ON GUARD against the pit of self-pity. When you are weary or unwell, this demonic trap is the greatest danger you face. Don’t even go near the edge of the pit. Its edges crumble easily, and before you know it, you are on the way down. It is ever so much harder to get out of the pit than to keep a safe distance from it. That is why GOD tells you to be on guard. There are several ways to protect yourself from self-pity. When you are occupied with praising and thanking GOD, it is impossible to feel sorry for yourself. Also, the closer you live to The LORD, the more distance there is between you and the pit. Live in the Light of GOD’S Presence by fixing your eyes on HIM. Then you will be able to run with endurance the race that is set before you, without stumbling or falling.”

Scripture

Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, O LORD. In Your name they rejoice all day long, And in Your righteousness they are exalted. PSALM 89 : 15 – 16

Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.. HEBREWS 12 : 1 – 2 (NKJV)

Prayer

Prayer: God help me to be on guard against the pit of self-pity by praising and thanking you for all you have done, are currently doing, and will do in the future. Help me to stay close to you today, and to talk with you often. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Mark‬ ‭16:20‬

“Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it.” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭16:20‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Jesus commanded the disciples to go out into the world and preach the gospel and they did. The disciples operated under the Divine power of the Lord are you? Are you not a disciple? Are you seeing the signs, wonders, and miracles? Today’s prayer is that we would be as obedient as the disciples that walked with Jesus because we have been given the same power……Be Blessed

YOU NEED GOD EVERY MOMENT. – 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 17, JOHN 16 : 24

“YOU NEED GOD EVERY MOMENT. Your awareness of your constant need for GOD is your greatest strength. Your neediness, properly handled, is a link to The LORD’S Presence. However, there are pitfalls that you must be on guard against: self-pity, self-preoccupation, giving up. Your inadequacy presents you with a continual choice—deep dependence on GOD, or despair. The emptiness you feel within will be filled either with problems or with GOD’S Presence. Make GOD central in your consciousness by praying continually: simple, short prayers flowing out of the present moment. Use The LORD’S Name liberally, to remind you of HIS Presence. Keep on asking and you will receive, so that your gladness may be full and complete.”

Scripture

Pray continually. 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 17

Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full. JOHN 16 : 24

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, I need you every moment of every day. Help me to have a deeper dependence on you and to bring you into every detail of my life. I surrender to your will. You are my best friend and the great I Am. Thank you Jesus for making a way. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

Galatians‬ ‭6:1

“Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted.” ‭‭Galatians‬ ‭6:1‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Are you living a life with no sin? Didn’t think so. We all sin so why do we judge and condemn others when they sin? Hasn’t the judging been done at the cross? Then why do we play God with our judgment? Today’s prayer is that when a brother or sister is struggling, that we would lift them up and help!! not keep them down……Be Blessed

TRUST AND THANKFULNESS WILL get you safely through this day. – COLOSSIANS 2 : 6 – 7, PSALM 141 : 8, 1 PETER 5 : 7

“TRUST AND THANKFULNESS WILL get you safely through this day. Trust protects you from worrying and obsessing. Thankfulness keeps you from criticizing and complaining: those “sister sins” that so easily entangle you. Keeping your eyes on GOD is the same thing as trusting GOD. It is a free choice that you must make thousands of times daily. The more you choose to trust The LORD, the easier it becomes. Thought patterns of trust become etched into your brain. Relegate troubles to the periphery of your mind, so that GOD can be central in your thoughts. Thus you focus on The LORD, entrusting your concerns into HIS care.”

Scripture

So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. COLOSSIANS 2 : 6 – 7

But my eyes are fixed on you, O Sovereign LORD; in you I take refuge—do not give me over to death. PSALM 141 : 8

Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 PETER 5 : 7

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, you know just what I need at just the right time. Thank you for reminding me when I feel a spirit of heaviness, to put on a garment of praise. When I focus on thanking you, on praising you, you change my perspective and outlook entirely. Thank you for never giving up on me Lord. Help me to do the same for those you’ve placed in my life. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

GOD IS WITH YOU. These four words are like a safety net, protecting you from falling into despair. – ZEPHANIAH 3 : 17, PSALM 73 : 23 – 26

“GOD IS WITH YOU. These four words are like a safety net, protecting you from falling into despair. Because you are human, you will always have ups and downs in your life experience. But the promise of GOD’S Presence limits how far down you can go. Sometimes you may feel as if you are in a free fall, when people or things you had counted on let you down. Yet as soon as you remember that The LORD is with you, your perspective changes radically. Instead of bemoaning your circumstances, you can look to GOD for help. You recall that not only is GOD with you, HE is holding you by your right hand. The LORD guides you with HIS counsel, and afterward The LORD will take you into Glory. This is exactly the perspective you need: the reassurance of GOD’S Presence, and the glorious hope of heaven.”

Scripture

“The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.” ZEPHANIAH 3 : 17

Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory. Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. PSALM 73 : 23 – 26

Prayer

Prayer: God, earth has nothing I desire more than you. You are my perfect portion wherever I go, whatever I do. Thank you for promising to never leave me or forsake me. I’m never without my loving Father. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

Psalms‬ ‭139‬:‭23-24

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

Proverbs‬ ‭3‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭

”Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.“ ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭3‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭

We think we have to know it all! When we think we are doing the right thing and fail miserably we just can’t understand why! Could it be that maybe God was protecting us from that thing we wanted so bad? Today’s prayer is we would trust the God has our best interest at heart all of the time, and even though we may not see it He sure does…..Be Blessed

YOU ARE FEELING WEIGHED DOWN by a plethora of problems, both big and small. – EXODUS 3 : 14, HABAKKUK 3 : 17 – 19

“YOU ARE FEELING WEIGHED DOWN by a plethora of problems, both big and small. They seem to require more and more of your attention, but you must not give in to those demands. When the difficulties in your life feel as if they’re closing in on you, break free by spending quality time with GOD. You need to remember who GOD is in all HIS Power and Glory. Then, humbly bring GOD your prayers and petitions. Your problems will pale when you view them in the Light of HIS Presence. You can learn to be joyful in The LORD, your Savior, even in the midst of adverse circumstances. Rely on GOD, your Strength; The LORD makes your feet like the feet of a deer, enabling you to go on the heights.”

Scripture

God said to Moses, “I am who I am . This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’” EXODUS 3 : 14

Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior. The Sovereign LORD is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to go on the heights. For the director of music. On my stringed instruments. HABAKKUK 3 : 17 – 19

Prayer

Prayer: God help me to break free from worry by spending time with you. Then I can see things more clearly from your perspective. Help me to rely on you and your strength, and not my own. With you, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
