Psalms‬ ‭34‬ :‭ 5‬

Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces. Psalms‬ ‭34‬ :‭ 5‬ NLT

Is it hard for you to ask for help? Do you fell like you are weak if you do ask for help? God is waiting with open arms to help us through any situation or struggle, weakness comes from those who are proud, strength comes to those who humble themselves at the foot of the cross. Today I pray that we would all turn to Jesus for the solution, not the world…….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 :1 7

WHENEVER YOU FEEL DISTANT from GOD, whisper The LORD’S Name in loving trust. – ACTS 4 : 12, JOHN 16 : 24

https://youtu.be/-weq_aikf8k

“WHENEVER YOU FEEL DISTANT from GOD, whisper The LORD’S Name in loving trust. This simple prayer can restore your awareness of GOD’S Presence. GOD’S Name is constantly abused in the world, where people use it as a curse word. This verbal assault reaches all the way to heaven; every word is heard and recorded. When you trustingly whisper GOD’S Name, HIS aching ears are soothed. The grating rancor of the world’s blasphemies cannot compete with a trusting child’s utterance: “Jesus.” The power of The LORD’S Name to bless both you and GOD is beyond your understanding.”

Scripture

“Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” ACTS 4 : 12

Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete. JOHN 16 : 24

Prayer

Prayer: Jesus, help me to whisper your name when I feel distant or whenever I need you. To pray bold prayers in your powerful and mighty name. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

James‬ ‭3 : 2 – 5

“We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check. When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark.”
‭‭James‬ ‭3 : 2 – 5‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Are the words you’re speaking into people’s lives edifying or damning? From the ” good morning” to the “what’s wrong with you idiot”. James speaks clearly about the power of the tongue in this scripture just how powerful one little word can affect someone. Today’s prayer is that we would all let God put a bit in our mouths or a rudder on our tongue, that we would edify people no matter how we feel. When someone wrongs you hand it over to God and bite down on that bit……..Be Blessed and tell someone “Good Morning”

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

Psalm‬ ‭62 : 8

“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, still trust in his everlasting promise……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

‭‭Job‬ ‭10 : 12

“You gave me life and showed me your unfailing love. My life was preserved by your care.” ‭‭Job‬ ‭10 : 12‬ ‭NLT‬‬

God cares for you! When it seems like you don’t have a friend in the world, you have a friend in God. Job went through some of the most life altering trials but still knew that God was there for him. Today’s prayer is that when we go through trials we would think of Job and have he same praising attitude that he had, praise God in the sunshine and in the storms………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. – EXODUS 20 : 4 – 5, 2 SAMUEL 22 : 29

https://youtu.be/7Ibz8fegFoE

“WORSHIP GOD ONLY. Idolatry has always been the downfall of GOD’S people. GOD makes no secrets about being a jealous God. Current idols are more subtle than ancient ones, because today’s false gods are often outside the field of religion. People, possessions, status, and self-aggrandizement are some of the most popular deities today. Beware of bowing down before these things. False gods never satisfy; instead, they stir up lust for more and more. When you seek The LORD instead of the world’s idols, you experience The LORD’S Joy and Peace. These intangibles satisfy the thirst of your soul, providing deep satisfaction. The glitter of the world is tinny and temporal. The Light of GOD’S Presence is brilliant and everlasting. Walk in the Light with GOD. Thus you become a beacon through whom others are drawn to The LORD.”

Scripture

“You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me.” EXODUS 20 : 4 – 5

You are my lamp, O LORD; the LORD turns my darkness into light. 2 SAMUEL 22 : 29

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me to seek you instead of the world’s idols. In your presence is fullness of joy. Only you can truly satisfy me. All else will fall short. Show me any area of my life I need to de-throne and surrender to you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Proverbs‬ ‭18 : 12

“Before a downfall the heart is haughty, but humility comes before honor.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭18:12‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Are you on top of the world? Is life the best it’s ever been for you? Careful that’s when the enemy will come against you the hardest in my opinion. This proverb speaks of being haughty and humble, which are you? Today’s prayer is that we all would humble ourselves at the foot of our blessings and always stand guard against haughtiness for that will bring destruction…….Be Blessed and 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

RELAX IN GOD’S PEACEFUL PRESENCE. – PSALM 25 : 14, JOHN 15 : 13 – 15

https://youtu.be/hhHXYbPKdPs

“RELAX IN GOD’S PEACEFUL PRESENCE. Do not bring performance pressures into your sacred space of communion with GOD. When you are with someone you trust completely, you feel free to be yourself. This is one of the joys of true friendship. Though GOD is Lord of lords and King of kings, GOD also desires to be your intimate Friend. When you are tense or pretentious in your relationship, The LORD feels hurt. HE knows the worst about you, but GOD also sees the best in you. The LORD longs for you to trust HIM enough to be fully yourself with HIM. When you are real with GOD, GOD is able to bring out the best in you: the very gifts HE has planted in your soul. Relax, and enjoy your friendship with The LORD.”

Scripture

The friendship of the LORD is for those who fear him, and he makes known to them his covenant. PSALM 25 : 14

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

Prayer

Prayer: God help me to be completely myself and open as I spend time with you. Ready for what you have for me each day. I’m in awe that the creator of the universe, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords wants to be my intimate friend. What a privilege and an honor. Help me to take you up on that special offer. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭4:16

“That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day.” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭4:16‬ ‭NLT‬‬

As we get older the mind says it’s easy to give up! But as Christians we should know these vessels are just temporary. The daily renewing of the spirit is what we should bank on! And the only way to renew is to stay in the Word. Today I pray that all would start their day by at least spending 30 minutes in God’s Word and see if the difference not only applies to your attitude but also your health and well being……Be Blessed and read The Bible.

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

TRUST GOD IN ALL YOUR THOUGHTS. – PSALM 20 : 7, 1 JOHN 1 : 9, LUKE 1 : 79

https://youtu.be/k7e2J3RFM0Q

“TRUST GOD IN ALL YOUR THOUGHTS. GOD knows that some thoughts are unconscious or semiconscious, and GOD does not hold you responsible for those. But you can direct conscious thoughts much more than you may realize. Practice thinking in certain ways—trusting GOD, thanking GOD — and those thoughts become more natural. Reject negative or sinful thoughts as soon as you become aware of them. Don’t try to hide them from The LORD; confess them and leave them with HIM. Go on your way lightheartedly. This method of controlling your thoughts will keep your mind in GOD’S Presence and your feet on the path of Peace.”

Scripture

Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. PSALM 20 : 7

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 1 JOHN 1 : 9

. . . to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.” LUKE 1 : 79

Prayer

Prayer: God guide my feet and my thoughts into the path of peace. Help me to practice trusting you and thanking you more and more. You are in control, I surrender. Nothing is a surprise to you. I trust your plan, Jesus. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
