“In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.” Psalm 4:8 NIV
Do you know that feeling when you have complete serene peace? That complete feeling of safety? That complete feeling of joy? That is when you are completely in Jesus!!! Our salvation should always bring us peace,safety, and joy. Today I pray that we all would take our right place in Jesus the author and finisher of our faith……..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
“ACCEPT EACH DAY exactly as it comes to you. By that, GOD means not only the circumstances of your day but also the condition of your body. Your assignment is to trust GOD absolutely, resting in The LORD’S sovereignty and faithfulness. On some days, your circumstances and your physical condition feel out of balance: The demands on you seem far greater than your strength. Days like that present a choice between two alternatives—giving up or relying on GOD. Even if you wrongly choose the first alternative, GOD will not reject you. You can turn to The LORD at any point, and GOD will help you crawl out of the mire of discouragement. GOD will infuse HIS strength into you moment by moment, giving you all that you need for this day. Trust The LORD, by relying on HIS empowering Presence.”
Scripture
Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior. . . . PSALM 42 : 5
For to be sure, he was crucified in weakness, yet he lives by God’s power. Likewise, we are weak in him, yet by God’s power we will live with him to serve you. 2 CORINTHIANS 13 : 4
“I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint.” JEREMIAH 31 : 25
Prayer
Prayer: Lord help me to trust you absolutely, resting and relying on your sovereignty and faithfulness. Give me the exact amount of strength I need for today to do your will. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord,” Acts 3:19 NIV
Repentance is to truly change your way! Are you in need of change? Is your walk with Jesus lacking relationship? Well there is good news REPENTANCE!!!!!! To repent is to change direction and head back in the correct way. The beauty of our God is he is forgiving and we all miss the mark daily and need forgiveness. Today’s prayer is that we would repent and ask God to change our ways, he is just and full of forgiveness……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
“ENJOY THE WARMTH OF GOD’S PRESENCE shining upon you. Feel your face tingle as you bask in GOD’S Love-Light. GOD delights in you more than you can imagine. The LORD approves of you continuously, for HE sees you cloaked in HIS Light, arrayed in HIS righteousness. There is no condemnation for those who are clothed in The LORD! That is why GOD abhors the use of guilt as a means of motivation among Christians. Some pastors try to whip their people into action with guilt-inducing sermons. This procedure can drive many people to work harder, but the end does not justify the means. Guilt-evoking messages can undermine the very foundation of grace in a believer’s heart. A pastor may feel successful when his people are doing more, but GOD looks at their hearts. GOD grieves when HE sees grace eroding, with weeds of anxious works creeping in. The LORD wants you to relax in the assurance of HIS perfect Love. The law of GOD’S Holy Spirit of Life has freed you from the law of sin and death.”
Scripture
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
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. ROMANS 8 : 1 – 2
Prayer
Prayer: Lord thank you for the reminder to bask in your love and light. I’m going to make mistakes on this side of Heaven, yet even still, you look at me and see me as righteous, pure and blameless – all because of Jesus. Thank you sweet Jesus. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
“The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray. Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.” 1 Peter 4:7-8 NIV
With all the signs in the world today it’s critical to be alert! When you leave your house, when you are out at night at the grocery store, etc ,etc, etc. continuous prayer is essential, ask The Father to provide a hedge of protection for all your loved ones. Love all and show that love continually. Today’s prayer is that we would serve God with all we have and love all that we come across…….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
“DO EVERYTHING in dependence on GOD. The desire to act independently—apart from GOD — springs from the root of pride. Self-sufficiency is subtle, insinuating its way into your thoughts and actions without your realizing it. But apart from The LORD, you can do nothing: that is, nothing of eternal value. GOD’S deepest desire for you is that you learn to depend on HIM in every situation. The LORD moves heaven and earth to accomplish this purpose, but you must collaborate with The LORD in this training. Teaching you would be simple if GOD negated your free will or overwhelmed you with HIS Power. However, GOD loves you too much to withdraw the godlike privilege HE bestowed on you as HIS image-bearer. Use your freedom wisely, by relying on The LORD constantly. Thus you enjoy GOD’S Presence and GOD’S Peace.”
Scripture
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” JOHN 15 : 5
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. EPHESIANS 6 : 10
Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. GENESIS 1 : 26 – 27
Prayer
Prayer: God, teach me to depend on you in every situation. Help me to do my part by spending time getting to know you each day through your word, prayer, and fellowship with other believers. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.
“Endure suffering along with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. Soldiers don’t get tied up in the affairs of civilian life, for then they cannot please the officer who enlisted them. And athletes cannot win the prize unless they follow the rules. And hardworking farmers should be the first to enjoy the fruit of their labor. Think about what I am saying. The Lord will help you understand all these things.” 2 Timothy 2:3-7 NLT
Paul speaks of relying on Jesus for strength and knowledge. Are you trying to follow the rules of the world standard or the knowledgeable ways of the Lord to win your race? Today’s prayer is that we would all pray for the knowledge to run our race in a way that will please God………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
“GOD IS YOUR BEST FRIEND, as well as your King. Walk hand in hand with GOD through your life. Together you will face whatever each day brings: pleasures, hardships, adventures, disappointments. Nothing is wasted when it is shared with The LORD. GOD can bring beauty out of the ashes of lost dreams. GOD can glean Joy out of sorrow, Peace out of adversity. Only a Friend who is also the King of kings could accomplish this divine alchemy. There is no other like The LORD! The friendship GOD offers you is practical and down-to-earth, yet it is saturated with heavenly Glory. Living in The LORD’S Presence means living in two realms simultaneously: the visible world and unseen, eternal reality. GOD has equipped you to stay conscious of HIM while walking along dusty, earthbound paths.”
Scripture
Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. JOHN 15 : 13 – 15
. . . and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor. ISAIAH 61 : 3
. . . sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything. 2 CORINTHIANS 6 : 10
Prayer
Prayer: Lord thank you for walking with me hand in hand in whatever today brings; Whether trials or triumphs we will handle it together. Lead the way, Jesus. In Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.
When pride comes, then comes dishonor, But with the humble is wisdom. Proverbs 11:2 NASB
How are you viewed as a person? Do you humble yourself? or have to always give the right answer? Do you sometimes agree when you are wrong? Do you walk away from an argument or do you stay and try to prove you are right? Do you brag about all of your accomplishments or do you just say thank you? Today’s prayer is that we would always humble ourselves, for there is a time and reason for everything God blesses the humble ……Be Blessed and always be humble
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
“IN CLOSENESS TO GOD, you are safe. In the intimacy of GOD’S Presence, you are energized. No matter where you are in the world, you know you belong when you sense The LORD’S nearness. Ever since the Fall, man has experienced a gaping emptiness that only GOD Presence can fill. GOD designed you for close communication with your Creator. How GOD enjoyed walking in the garden with Adam and Eve, before the evil one deceived them! When you commune with The LORD in the garden of your heart, both you and HE are blessed. This is The LORD’S way of living in the world—through you! Together you will push back the darkness, for GOD is the Light of the world.”
You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance. PSALM 32 : 7
Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden. But the LORD God called to the man, “Where are you?” GENESIS 3 : 8 – 9
When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” JOHN 8 : 12
Prayer: How I long to walk with you in the cool of the morning and evening in the garden Lord. One fine day. Until then, help me to commune with you in the garden of my heart. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
