Proverbs‬ ‭23 : 26

O my son, give me your heart. May your eyes take delight in following my ways.” Proverbs‬ ‭23 : 26‬ ‭NLT‬‬

The day you gave your heart to Jesus life truly began. The day you gave your life to the Lord you were so full of joy, so full of doing what was right in The LORD’S eyes, are you still that committed or have you changed? The Lord says HE delights in following HIS ways and so should we. Today’s prayer is that we would all do a “once over” and check our condition: are we more on fire or have our flames dwindled to smoke…… Be Blessed and light that fire back 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

    Job‬ ‭11 ‬: ‭13 – 15

    “If only you would prepare your heart and lift up your hands to him in prayer! Get rid of your sins, and leave all iniquity behind you. Then your face will brighten with innocence. You will be strong and free of fear. Job‬ ‭11 ‬: ‭13 – 15‬ NLT

    Is there a stronghold in your life that you just can’t seem to get rid of? Here’s a hint SURRENDER!!!!! Surrender all to God and let his grace see you out of the stronghold. Today’s prayer is that we would surrender all of our strongholds to God, for we as flesh cannot overcome them on our own…..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

    John‬ ‭1 ‬: ‭14

    The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. John‬ ‭1 ‬: ‭14‬ NIV

    This scripture describes GOD coming to earth as man, and him being full of grace and truth. Jesus did not come to condemn the world but to save the world, how you may ask? By laying his life down on the cross. Jesus never sinned, Jesus was full of love, Jesus was full of truth, and most of all He was full of grace. Today’s prayer is that the world would recognize who Jesus is and not be like the world of old, not be threatened by Him but be embraced by that everlasting love and mercy that He displayed on the cross…….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

    WHEN MANY THINGS SEEM to be going wrong, trust GOD. – PSALM 13 : 5, EPHESIANS 5 : 20

    “WHEN MANY THINGS SEEM to be going wrong, trust GOD. When your life feels increasingly out of control, thank GOD. These are supernatural responses, and they can lift you above your circumstances. If you do what comes naturally in the face of difficulties, you may fall prey to negativism. Even a few complaints can set you on a path that is a downward spiral, by darkening your perspective and mind-set. With this attitude controlling you, complaints flow more and more readily from your mouth. Each one moves you steadily down the slippery spiral. The lower you go, the faster you slide; but it is still possible to apply brakes. Cry out to GOD in HIS Name! Affirm your trust in GOD, regardless of how you feel. Thank The LORD for everything, though this seems unnatural — even irrational. Gradually you will begin to ascend, recovering your lost ground. When you are back on ground level, you can face your circumstances from a humble perspective. If you choose supernatural responses this time — trusting and thanking GOD — you will experience The LORD’S unfathomable Peace.”

    But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. PSALM 13 : 5

    . . . always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. EPHESIANS 5 : 20

    Prayer: Lord, when so much seems to be going wrong and I don’t understand, help me to trust You and give thanks. Let me seek the lesson and growth opportunity You have for me in the situation. More of You, less of me, Lord. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

    Revelation‬ ‭16‬ : ‭15

    “Look, I will come as unexpectedly as a thief! Blessed are all who are watching for me, who keep their clothing ready so they will not have to walk around naked and ashamed.” Revelation‬ ‭16‬ : ‭15‬ NLT

    More than ever it’s time to take our faith seriously! Not just going to church on Sunday, or having a Bible on the nightstand it’s time to take our relationship with Jesus to another level. Today I pray that with all the trouble going on in the world that we would 100% have our trust in Jesus…….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

    NEVER TAKE FOR GRANTED GOD’S intimate nearness. – LUKE 12 : 7, JOHN 1 : 12, ROMANS 10 : 13

    “NEVER TAKE FOR GRANTED GOD’S intimate nearness. Marvel at the wonder of GOD’S continual Presence with you. Even the most ardent human lover cannot always be with you. Nor can another person know the intimacies of your heart, mind, and spirit. GOD knows everything about you— even to the number of hairs on your head. You don’t need to work at revealing yourself to The LORD. Many people spend a lifetime or a small fortune searching for someone who understands them. Yet GOD is freely available to all who call upon HIS Name, who open their hearts to receive HIM as Savior. This simple act of faith is the beginning of a lifelong love story. GOD, the Lover of your soul, understands you perfectly and loves you eternally.”

    Scripture

    Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. LUKE 12 : 7

    Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God. JOHN 1 : 12

    “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” ROMANS 10 : 13

    Prayer

    Prayer: Lord thank you for your intimate nearness and your continual presence with me. I’m in awe that the creator of the universe wants to be in an intimate relationship with me. Thank you for speaking to me continually. Help me to listen. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

    ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭18 : 1 – 3‬

    “I will love You, O LORD, my strength. The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; So shall I be saved from my enemies.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭18 : 1 – 3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

    David was known to be a man after God’s heart. Are you? This Psalm is beautiful in so many ways and covers a multitude of areas. Today’s prayer is that we would pray this daily for God is our hope in darkness, our strength in weakness, our “be there” in everything…… 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

    WORSHIP GOD ONLY. – 1 TIMOTHY 6 : 15 – 16, ISAIAH 55 : 8 – 9, REVELATION 2 : 4, MATTHEW 11 : 28

    “WORSHIP GOD ONLY. GOD is King of kings and Lord of lords, dwelling in unapproachable Light. GOD is taking care of you! GOD is not only committed to caring for you, but The LORD is also absolutely capable of doing so. Rest in GOD, weary one, for this is a form of worship. Though self-flagellation has gone out of style, many of The LORD’S children drive themselves like racehorses. They whip themselves into action, ignoring how exhausted they are. They forget that GOD is sovereign and that HIS ways are higher than theirs. Underneath their driven service, they may secretly resent GOD as a harsh taskmaster. Their worship of The LORD is lukewarm, because GOD is no longer their First Love. GOD’S invitation never changes: Come to The LORD, all you who are weary, and HE will give you rest. Worship GOD by resting peacefully in HIS Presence.”

    . . . which God will bring about in his own time—God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honor and might forever. Amen. 1 TIMOTHY 6 : 15 – 16

    “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” ISAIAH 55 : 8 – 9

    Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love. REVELATION 2 : 4

    “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” MATTHEW 11 : 28

    Prayer: God, teach me to worship you by resting in you. Help me to go about my day the way Jesus did – intentional yet unhurried. And patient when detours come. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

    ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5 : 7 – 8‬

    “Therefore do not be partners with them. For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5 : 7 – 8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

    It’s so easy to get caught up in the ways of the world in a daily basis but that is not who we are. This scripture tells us that we once were doomed but now we are saved!!!! Let’s act like it.

    Today’s prayer is that we would live a life that is pleasing to God and guard against our old ways……. 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 PERPETUALLY WITH YOU, taking care of you. – MATTHEW 6 : 34, JOHN 10 : 10, JAMES 4 : 13 – 15

    “GOD IS PERPETUALLY WITH YOU, taking care of you. That is the most important fact of your existence. GOD is not limited by time or space; GOD’S Presence with you is a forever-promise. You need not fear the future, for GOD is already there. When you make that quantum leap into eternity, you will find The LORD awaiting you in heaven. Your future is in GOD’S hands; HE releases it to you day by day, moment by moment. Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow. The LORD wants you to live this day abundantly, seeing all there is to see, doing all there is to do. Don’t be distracted by future concerns. Leave them to The LORD! Each day of life is a glorious gift, but so few people know how to live within the confines of today. Much of their energy for abundant living spills over the timeline into tomorrow’s worries or past regrets. Their remaining energy is sufficient only for limping through the day, not for living it to the full. The LORD is training you to keep your focus on HIS Presence in the present. This is how to receive abundant Life, which flows freely from GOD’S throne of grace.”

    Scripture

    Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. MATTHEW 6 : 34

    “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” JOHN 10 : 10

    Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.” JAMES 4 : 13 – 15

    Prayer

    Prayer: Lord help me to live this day abundantly, looking for your blessings throughout the day like finding hidden treasure. Help me to live in the present and not worry about the past or the future, and leave them in your capable hands. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
