This scripture explains that when you received Christ as your personal Lord and savior you became a new creation, that all old has passed away. Today’s prayer is that you would hand your past over to Jesus and live your new life as the new creation you became by the ultimate sacrifice at the cross…..Be Blessed

GOD IS YOUR STRENGTH AND SHIELD. – PSALM 28 : 7, MATTHEW 6 : 34, PSALM 56 : 3 – 4, GENESIS 28 : 15

“GOD IS YOUR STRENGTH AND SHIELD. GOD plans out each day and has it ready for you, long before you arise from bed. GOD also provides the strength you need each step of the way. Instead of assessing your energy level and wondering about what’s on the road ahead, concentrate on staying in touch with The LORD. GOD’S power flows freely into you through your open communication. Refuse to waste energy worrying, and you will have strength to spare. Whenever you start to feel afraid, remember that The LORD is your Shield. But unlike inanimate armor, GOD is always alert and active. The LORD’S Presence watches over you continually, protecting you from both known and unknown dangers. Entrust yourself to GOD’S watch care, which is the best security system available. The LORD is with you and will watch over you wherever you go.”

Scripture

The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song. PSALM 28 : 7

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

When I am afraid, I will trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me? PSALM 56 : 3 – 4

“I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.” GENESIS 28 : 15

Prayer

Prayer: God thank you for being a good, good Father. Open my eyes to see that prayer and surrender is the key to unlocking your peace, joy, and endless strength. When I am afraid, help me to remember that if I surrender to you, you will fight my battles for me every time. And you are far more capable. This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Ephesians‬ ‭3‬:‭19

May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Ephesians‬ ‭3‬:‭19‬ NLT

Sometimes we let the circumstances defeat us, we feel like the whole world is against us!!!! Take heart and know the God who loves us and saved us from eternal hell. God’s plans for us are to prosper and excel, not live defeated in a broken world…..today I pray that all would understand the love that God has for each and every one of us, he is always with us to see us through the trials……..Be Blessed

WORSHIP GOD ONLY. – PSALM 112 : 7, 1 CORINTHIANS 13 : 11

“WORSHIP GOD ONLY. Whatever occupies your mind the most becomes your god. Worries, if indulged, develop into idols. Anxiety gains a life of its own, parasitically infesting your mind. Break free from this bondage by affirming your trust in GOD and refreshing yourself in HIS Presence. What goes on in your mind is invisible, undetectable to other people. But GOD reads your thoughts continually, searching for evidence of trust in HIM. GOD rejoices when your mind turns toward HIM. Guard your thoughts diligently; good thought-choices will keep you close to GOD.”

Scripture

He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD. PSALM 112 : 7

When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 1 CORINTHIANS 13 : 11

Prayer

Prayer: Holy Spirit guard my thoughts diligently today. I want you, your words and your thoughts to occupy my mind. When I start to drift into worrisome thoughts, gently bring me back to you – the prince of peace. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Psalms‬ ‭31‬:‭14

But I am trusting you, O LORD, saying, “You are my God!” Psalms‬ ‭31‬:‭14‬ NLT

Trust is a characteristic that is lacking in today’s world, to trust someone is to confide your all to them!!! When you truly understand God’s love for you it’s easy to trust him. Today I pray that we would all put our 100% trust in the Lord and not in the things of 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 5:17

KEEP YOUR FOCUS ON GOD. – PSALM 8 : 5, GENESIS 1 : 26 – 27, 2 CORINTHIANS 10 : 5, ISAIAH 26 : 3

“KEEP YOUR FOCUS ON GOD. GOD has gifted you with amazing freedom, including the ability to choose the focal point of your mind. Only the crown of GOD’S creation has such remarkable capability; this is a sign of being made in HIS image. Let the goal of this day be to bring every thought captive to The LORD. Whenever your mind wanders, lasso those thoughts and bring them into HIS Presence. In GOD’S radiant Light, anxious thoughts shrink and shrivel away. Judgmental thoughts are unmasked as you bask in The LORD’S unconditional Love. Confused ideas are untangled while you rest in the simplicity of GOD’S Peace. The LORD will guard you and keep you in constant Peace, as you focus your mind on HIM.”

Scripture

You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. PSALM 8 : 5

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

We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 2 CORINTHIANS 10 : 5

You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you,because he trusts in you. ISAIAH 26 : 3

Prayer

Prayer: Lord what a privilege to be able to choose how to focus my mind, that which only humans, your image-bearers can do. Give me the strength and confidence to take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ. In Christ’s name I pray. Amen.

1 Timothy‬ ‭1:19

“holding on to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and so have suffered shipwreck with regard to the faith.” ‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭1:19‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Is your faith strong? Do you trust your 100% to God? I see so many Christians that let the world’s circumstances destroy their faith in the Lord. The Bible tells us that God is there through ALL! Not some! Today’s prayer is that we would always trust in the Lord no matter what the circumstances are………Be Blessed

“Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.” 2 Corinthians‬ ‭4:16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Our lives are temporary but we have a spirit that is eternal. When we surround ourselves with things of the Lord our spirit is being renewed! Even though we may be graying and getting a few more wrinkles than we would like, our spirit looks like a newborn babe.

Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Ephesians‬ ‭3‬:‭20‬ NLT

Are great things happening in your life? Do you accomplish things that you never thought you could? Are you blessed beyond words? And the key, are you giving all the glory to God or taking all the credit yourself? Today I pray that we would recognize God in all of our victories and blessings and thank him continuously in all things…….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

GIVE UP THE ILLUSION that you deserve a problem-free life. – JOHN 16 : 33, PSALM 112 : 4, 7

“GIVE UP THE ILLUSION that you deserve a problem-free life. Part of you is still hungering for the resolution of all difficulties. This is a false hope! As JESUS CHRIST, The LORD told HIS disciples, in the world you will have trouble. Link your hope not to problem solving in this life but to the promise of an eternity of problem-free life in heaven. Instead of seeking perfection in this fallen world, pour your energy into seeking GOD: the Perfect One. It is possible to enjoy GOD and glorify HIM in the midst of adverse circumstances. In fact, The LORD’S Light shines most brightly through believers who trust HIM in the dark. That kind of trust is supernatural: a production of GOD’S indwelling Spirit. When things seem all wrong, trust GOD anyway. The LORD is much less interested in right circumstances than in right responses to whatever comes your way.”

Scripture

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” JOHN 16 : 33

Even in darkness light dawns for the upright, for the gracious and compassionate and righteous man. . . . He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD. PSALM 112 : 4, 7

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me to seek you more than a problem-free life. You told us in this life we will have trouble. My job is to trust you regardless of my circumstances by the power of your Holy Spirit in me. I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
