Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30 NLT)
This is a word for someone who is trying to handle a situation that needs to be handed over to the Lord, are you caring for a loved one? Mourning the loss of a loved one? it’s very difficult to deal with the responsibility of caring for a loved one and with loss, but Jesus says come to him, lay your burdens on him, trust in him and he will replace that pain with peace. Today I pray that whoever is in a situation that is overwhelming them to hand it over to Jesus and trust he will handle it……Be Blessed
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
“STOP JUDGING AND EVALUATING YOUR SELF, for this is not your role. Above all, stop comparing yourself with other people. This produces feelings of pride or inferiority; sometimes, a mixture of both. GOD leads each of HIS children along a path that is uniquely tailor-made for him or her. Comparing is not only wrong; it is also meaningless. Don’t look for affirmation in the wrong places: your own evaluations, or those of other people. The only source of real affirmation is GOD’S unconditional Love. Many believers perceive GOD as an unpleasable Judge, angrily searching out their faults and failures. Nothing could be farther from the truth! The LORD, Jesus Christ died for your sins, so that GOD might clothe you in The LORD’S garments of salvation. This is how GOD sees you: radiant in The LORD’S robe of righteousness. When GOD disciplines you, it is never in anger or disgust; it is to prepare you for face-to-Face fellowship with GOD throughout all eternity. Immerse yourself in GOD’S loving Presence. Be receptive to GOD’S affirmation, which flows continually from the throne of grace.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
“Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.” LUKE 6 : 37
“For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” JOHN 3 : 17
I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, My soul shall be joyful in my God; For He has clothed me with the garments of salvation, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments, And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. ISAIAH 61 : 10 (NKJV)
Prayer: God I’m so grateful when you disciple me you don’t look at me with anger or disgust, but rather with love and grace and fairness, preparing me for an eternity with you. I long for that day. In the meantime, do what you need to in order to prepare me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth.”
Colossians 3:2 NLT
Have you ever felt like you weren’t going too make it through the day because of all the circumstances that came up? This scripture explains about not being so grounded in earthly things but be more grounded in Heavenly things. Today’s prayer is that we would take this scripture too heart! The only way for this too happen is too stay in the word as much as possible. Be Blessed and Be a Blessing

“KEEP YOUR EYES ON GOD! Waves of adversity are washing over you, and you feel tempted to give up. As your circumstances consume more and more of your attention, you are losing sight of GOD. Yet The LORD is with you always, holding you by your right hand. GOD is fully aware of your situation, and HE will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able to bear. Your gravest danger is worrying about tomorrow. If you try to carry tomorrow’s burdens today, you will stagger under the load and eventually fall flat. You must discipline yourself to live within the boundaries of today. It is in the present moment that The LORD walks close to you, helping you carry your burdens. Keep your focus on GOD’S Presence in the present.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand. PSALM 73 : 23
No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it. 1 CORINTHIANS 10 : 13
Prayer: Lord help me to keep my eyes on you today. You know what is up ahead. Equip me to handle it with you leading the way. Thank you for always providing a way out of temptation. Help me to give you all my worries, and let go. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“And now, dear children, remain in fellowship with Christ so that when he returns, you will be full of courage and not shrink back from him in shame.” 1 John 2:28 NLT
Imagine on the day of the Lords return you think about all you could have done. Think about the calling God put on your life that you ignored because the enemy made you feel unworthy. What about all the time you could have spent with him in fellowship but chose other earthly things, the reality of this is staggering. Today’s prayer is that we would stay in constant fellowship with the Lord, pray for the faith to step out into your calling and know that on that day the Lord will say “enter my faithful servant you have made me proud” Be Blessed………….

“Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent. (Luke 15:4-7 NIV)
Are you praying for a family member, friend, co-worker ? God hears your prayer and that one person is as important to the Lord as any other soul. The parable of the lost sheep reveals to us just how important every soul on earth is to our Father in Heaven. Today I boldly pray that God would grace us with the strength to overcome the adversity of the things of this world and boldly witness the joy that comes from making Jesus your Lord and Savior
Never let loyalty and kindness leave you! Tie them around your neck as a reminder. Write them deep within your heart. (Proverbs 3:3 NLT)
How do people view you? Are you kind and caring? Do you lend a helping hand when it’s needed? Today I pray we would all put this proverb to work and be kind and helpful to all we can…..Be Blessed

“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
“O LORD, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth!” Psalms 8:9 NKJV
Today’s world is so into its self! You have those who believe the world exploded into existence, those who believe there are many Gods, those who believe they are Gods, and those who believe a supreme being does not exist. In the end all will experience the one true God!! The God who created the world and the God who will end this world. Today’s prayer is that we all would witness the only God!!! Elohim, The morning star, the Rose of Sharron, The Alpha and Omega. God is real and he is living be versed up in his word to effectively witness……Be Blessed
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
“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 GOD, 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 GOD, entrusting your concerns into GOD’S care.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
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: Lord help me to fix my eyes, my mind, my heart, my soul on you more often today. As I go about my day, I desire to commune with you more, to talk with you more, and think on your word and your beautiful promises more. Help me to do that Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
