James‬ ‭1‬:‭2‬-‭4‬

”Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.“ ‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭2‬-‭4‬ ‭NLT‬‬

2 days into the New Year and things are not going very smoothly or are they? This scripture says endure trials as they will make you stronger!!!! Nowhere in the Bible does it say being a Christian will be easy!!!!! Today’s prayer is that we will always see the triumph in the trials and thank Jesus for each and every one…….Be Blessed and stay prayed up.

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

REFRESH YOURSELF in the Peace of GOD’S Presence. – PSALM 31 : 19–20, JOHN 16 : 33

“REFRESH YOURSELF in the Peace of GOD’S Presence. This Peace can be your portion at all times and in all circumstances. Learn to hide in the secret of GOD’S Presence, even as you carry out your duties in the world. GOD is both with you and within you. The LORD goes before you to open up the way, and HE also walks alongside you. There could never be another companion as devoted as GOD. Because GOD is your constant Companion, there should be a lightness to your step that is observable to others. Do not be weighed down with problems and unresolved issues, for The LORD is your burden-bearer. In the world you have trials and distress, but don’t let them get you down. The LORD has conquered the world and deprived it of power to harm you. In GOD you may have confident Peace.”

Scripture

Oh, how great is Your goodness, Which You have laid up for those who fear You, Which You have prepared for those who trust in You In the presence of the sons of men! You shall hide them in the secret place of Your presence From the plots of man; You shall keep them secretly in a pavilion From the strife of tongues. PSALM 31 : 19–20 (NKJV)

I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” 
JOHN 16 : 33

Prayer

Prayer: Lord thank you for being my most devoted companion who paves the path for me, holds my hand along the way, and is in me and with me at all times. Hide me in the secret place of your presence today Lord and fill me with confident peace. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭28:5‬

“Evil men do not understand justice, But those who seek the LORD understand all.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭28:5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Sin has consequences and those who truly know the Lord understand that, those who do not know the Lord live frivolously and do whatever pleases them. This proverb is crystal clear if you know the Lord! Justice is consequences for what has been done and if you truly know the Lord you know better than to commit the act. Today’s prayer is that we would tell everyone how the grace of the Lord has saved us and shown us how we should live, tell all and pray for those who do not receive……… Be Blessed and Pray up in 2024

Psalms‬ ‭143:8-9‬

“Cause me to hear Your loving kindness in the morning, For in You do I trust; Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, For I lift up my soul to You. Deliver me, O LORD, from my enemies; In You I take shelter.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭143:8-9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

This is my prayer for all in 2024 ! This past year has been challenging but through it all we are kept!!!! Be Blessed all and Happy New year to all and your family

COME TO GOD with a teachable spirit, eager to be changed. – ROMANS 12 : 2, JEREMIAH 29 : 11

“COME TO GOD with a teachable spirit, eager to be changed. A close walk with GOD is a life of continual newness. Do not cling to old ways as you step into a new year. Instead, seek The LORD’S Face with an open mind, knowing that your journey with HIM involves being transformed by the renewing of your mind. As you focus your thoughts on GOD, be aware that The LORD is fully attentive to you. GOD sees you with a steady eye, because HIS attention span is infinite. GOD knows and understands you completely; GOD’S thoughts embrace you in everlasting Love. The LORD also knows the plans HE has for you: plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Give yourself fully to this adventure of increasing attentiveness to GOD’S Presence.”

Scripture

Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. ROMANS 12 : 2

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” JEREMIAH 29 : 11

Prayer

Prayer: Lord put in me a teachable spirit. Allowing you to renew and transform my mind to look more and more like Christ. Thank you for your good, pleasing, and perfect will for my life Lord. Open the eyes of my heart to hear and obey wherever you may lead me this year. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Ephesians‬ ‭3‬:‭19‬

May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Ephesians‬ ‭3‬:‭19‬ NLT

Sometimes we let the circumstances defeat us, we feel like the whole world is against us!!!! Take heart and know the God who loves us and saved us from eternal hell. God’s plans for us are to prosper and excel, not live defeated in a broken world…..today I pray that all would understand the love that God has for each and every one of us, he is always with us to see us through the trials……..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

Colossians‬ ‭1:13-14‬

“For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.” ‭‭Colossians‬ ‭1:13-14‬ ‭NASB‬‬

Remember when you didn’t belong to Jesus? Your life had a very trivial meaning. The life you lived in sin was destined for an eternity of doom!! But now you have a life of eternity in heaven. Today’s prayer is that we would always give thanks to God for the precious gift that he has given us…….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 ‭4:7-8‬

“Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love.” ‭‭1 John‬ ‭4:7-8‬ ‭NLT‬‬

I believe love is one of the most misunderstood words in the English language!!! Love is known by your actions, by your demeanor, by how people view you. God is love and love for a Christian has to be the same love that Jesus showed to Everyone!!!! Not who you choose. Today’s prayer is that we would love all!!! Yes all whether or not they have wronged you or righted you Love is God…….Be Blessed

TRUST GOD with every fiber of your being! – PSALM 40 : 4, PSALM 56 : 3 – 4, PSALM 62 : 8, ISAIAH 26 : 3 – 4

“TRUST GOD with every fiber of your being! What GOD can accomplish in and through you is proportional to how much you depend on HIM. One aspect of this is the degree to which you trust The LORD in a crisis or major decision. Some people fail miserably here, while others are at their best in tough times. Another aspect is even more telling: the constancy of your trust in GOD. People who rely on GOD in the midst of adversity may forget about The LORD when life is flowing smoothly. Difficult times can jolt you into awareness of your need for GOD, whereas smooth sailing can lull you into the stupor of self-sufficiency. The LORD cares as much about your tiny trust-steps through daily life as about your dramatic leaps of faith. You may think that no one notices, but the One who is always beside you sees everything—and rejoices. Consistently trusting in The LORD is vital to flourishing in GOD’S Presence.”

Scripture

Blessed is the man who makes the LORD his trust, who does not look to the proud, to those who turn aside to false gods. PSALM 40 : 4

When I am afraid, I will trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me? PSALM 56 : 3 – 4

Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge. PSALM 62 : 8

You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you. Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD, the LORD, is the Rock eternal. ISAIAH 26 : 3 – 4

Prayer

Prayer: God help me to trust You with every fiber of my being. In the big decisions and small. When I do, you promise to keep me in perfect peace despite any circumstance. Thank you for being my constant companion and guide. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
