“Yes indeed, it is good when you obey the royal law as found in the Scriptures: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” But if you favor some people over others, you are committing a sin. You are guilty of breaking the law.” James 2:8-9
This scripture is a poke in the eye!! Why? Because we all are at fault of this. It is always easier to give the best to a friend but why not a stranger? Today’s prayer is we would see one person just as Jesus did and show the same favor to all……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 WITH YOU, for all time and throughout eternity. Don’t let the familiarity of that concept numb its impact on your consciousness. GOD’S perpetual Presence with you can be a continual source of Joy, springing up and flowing out in streams of abundant Life. Let your mind reverberate with meanings of CHRIST’S Names: Jesus—the Lord saves, and Emmanuel—God with us. Strive to remain conscious of The LORD’S Presence even in your busiest moments. Talk with GOD about whatever delights you, whatever upsets you, whatever is on your mind. These tiny steps of daily discipline, taken one after the other, will keep you close to The LORD on the path of Life.”
“She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” . . . “The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”—which means, “God with us.” MATTHEW 1 : 21,23
“You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence.” ACTS 2 : 28
Prayer: God help me never to let the familiarity of Jesus’ sacrifice numb its impact. We love you because you first loved us. You proved it by sending your one and only son to die for my sins, to pay my debt, so I could live free here and now and for eternity. Thank you Jesus. In your name I pray. Amen.
“Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.” Psalm 62:8 NIV
Trust is such a difficult thing, To put your trust in someone or something 100% can let you down. To fully trust in the Lord will never let you down! Today I pray that we will always trust the Lord in every situation, even if we can’t see results and still trust in his everlasting promise……Be Blessed

Do you ever get that feeling inside of total peace? Do you ever hear that voice telling you don’t do that or do this? This my friends is the Holy Spirit of God that lives inside us.

It’s time for America to wake up!!! We see all the horrible things daily on the news and maybe even with our own eyes, could it be because America has turned away from God? I believe so. Today’s prayer is that as Christians we would pray that the Nation would repent and turn back to God so that he will have his hand upon America again…….Be Blessed

“NO MATTER WHAT your circumstances may be, you can find Joy in GOD’S Presence. On some days Joy is generously strewn along your life-path, glistening in the sunlight. On days like that, being content is as simple as breathing the next breath or taking the next step. Other days are overcast and gloomy; you feel the strain of the journey, which seems endless. Dull gray rocks greet your gaze and cause your feet to ache. Yet Joy is still attainable. Search for it as for hidden treasure. Begin by remembering that GOD has created this day; it is not a chance occurrence. Recall that GOD is present with you whether you sense HIS Presence or not. Then, start talking with GOD about whatever is on your mind. Rejoice in the fact that The LORD understands you perfectly, and HE knows exactly what you are experiencing. As you continue communicating with GOD, your mood will gradually lighten. Awareness of GOD’S marvelous Companionship can infuse Joy into the grayest day.”
Surely you have granted him eternal blessings and made him glad with the joy of your presence. PSALM 21 : 6
. . . and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure. PROVERBS 2 : 4
Prayer: God thank you for your constant companionship. Even when I don’t see it, you’re working. Even when I don’t feel it, you’re working. Teach me to have your joy on the grayest of days. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” Galatians 5:1 NIV
Before we knew Jesus we were prisoners to the world, after Jesus we are set free from all the strongholds we once had. This scripture tells us to stand firm and know that we are free!!! Today’s prayer is that when we feel weak don’t turn away SEEK the love of Jesus and he will always remind us of our freedom in him…….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
“TO LIVE in GOD’S Presence consistently, you must expose and expel your rebellious tendencies. When something interferes with your plans or desires, you tend to resent the interference. Try to become aware of each resentment, however petty it may seem. Don’t push those unpleasant feelings down; instead, let them come to the surface where you can deal with them. Ask GOD’S Holy Spirit to increase your awareness of resentful feelings. Bring them boldly into the Light of GOD’S Presence, so that HE can free you from them. The ultimate solution to rebellious tendencies is submission to GOD’S authority over you. Intellectually you rejoice in The LORD’S sovereignty, without which the world would be a terrifying place. But when GOD’S sovereign will encroaches on your little domain of control, you often react with telltale resentment. The best response to losses or thwarted hopes is praise: The Lord gives and the Lord takes away. Blessed be the name of the Lord. Remember that all good things—your possessions, your family and friends, your health and abilities, your time—are gifts from The LORD. Instead of feeling entitled to all these blessings, respond to them with gratitude. Be prepared to let go of anything GOD takes from you, but never let go of GOD’S hand!”
Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. PSALM 139 : 23 – 24
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 1 PETER 5 : 6
And he said: “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, And naked shall I return there. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; Blessed be the name of the LORD.” JOB 1 : 21 (NKJV)
Prayer: God help me not to hold onto anything tighter than I hold onto you. You know what’s best, I trust your sovereign plan. Search my heart and show me any area I need to let go of my will to yield to yours. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
““Mortal man,” he said, “these men have given their hearts to idols and are letting idols lead them into sin. Do they think I will give them an answer?” Ezekiel 14:3 GNT
What things do you have in your life that cause you to sin ? More so, what thing do you put before God that keeps you in Sin? Today’s prayer is that anything in our lives that makes us sin or that we put before God we would get rid of immediately!!!! Pray that God would take them and replace them with a servant’s heart…….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
“THE LORD IS YOUR LIVING GOD, far more abundantly alive than the most vivacious person you know. The human body is wonderfully crafted, but gravity and the inevitable effects of aging weigh it down. Even the most superb athlete cannot maintain his fitness over many decades. Lasting abundant life can be found in Me alone. Do not be anxious about the weakness of your body. Instead, view it as the prelude to GOD’S infusing energy into your being. As you identify more and more fully with GOD, The LORD’S Life becomes increasingly intertwined with yours. Though the process of aging continues, inwardly you grow stronger with the passing years. Those who live close to GOD develop an inner aliveness that makes them seem youthful in spite of their years. Let GOD’S Life shine through you, as you walk in the Light with HIM.”
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. PSALM 139 : 14
So we’re not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace. These hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times, the lavish celebration prepared for us. There’s far more here than meets the eye. The things we see now are here today, gone tomorrow. But the things we can’t see now will last forever. – 2 CORINTHIANS 4:16
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. 1 JOHN 1 : 7
Prayer: Lord though outwardly I am aging and growing weary, on the inside you are making me more and more alive. My strength comes from you. Show me any obstacle between us and give me the desire to remove it. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
