LET GOD PREPARE YOU for the day that stretches out before you. – EXODUS 33 : 14, JOHN 15 : 4 – 7

https://youtu.be/q837zCv8OuE

“LET GOD PREPARE YOU for the day that stretches out before you. GOD knows exactly what this day will contain, whereas you have only vague ideas about it. You would like to see a map, showing all the twists and turns of your journey. You’d feel more prepared if you could somehow visualize what is on the road ahead. However, there is a better way to be prepared for whatever you will encounter today: Spend quality time with GOD. GOD will not show you what is on the road ahead, but The LORD will thoroughly equip you for the journey. GOD’S living Presence is your Companion each step of the way. Stay in continual communication with GOD, whispering HIS Name whenever you need to redirect your thoughts. Thus, you can walk through this day with your focus on GOD. GOD’S abiding Presence is the best road map available.”

The LORD replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” EXODUS 33 : 14

“Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. “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. If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you.” JOHN 15 : 4 – 7

Prayer: Lord help me to spend quality time with you so you can equip me for whatever is on the road ahead. Your presence is all I need. Help me to stay in continual communication with you today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

TRUST GOD by relinquishing control into HIS hands. – PSALM 46 : 10, COLOSSIANS 4 : 2, 2 PETER 1 : 3 – 4

https://youtu.be/GQXYmhZb_50

“TRUST GOD by relinquishing control into HIS hands. Let go, and recognize that The LORD is God. This is GOD’S world: HE made it and HE controls it. Yours is a responsive part in the litany of Love. GOD searches among HIS children for receptivity to HIM. Guard well this gift that The LORD has planted in your heart. Nurture it with the Light of GOD’S Presence. When you bring GOD prayer requests, lay out your concerns before HIM. Speak to The LORD candidly; pour out your heart. Then thank The LORD for the answers that HE has set into motion long before you can discern results. When your requests come to mind again, continue to thank GOD for the answers that are on the way. If you keep on telling your concerns to The LORD, you will live in a state of tension. When you thank GOD for how HE is answering your prayers, your mind-set becomes much more positive. Thankful prayers keep your focus on GOD Presence and HIS promises.”

Let be and be still, and know (recognize and understand) that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations! I will be exalted in the earth! PSALM 46 : 10 (AMP)

Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. COLOSSIANS 4 : 2

His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. 2 PETER 1 : 3 – 4

Prayer: Lord show me any area of my life I’m holding onto control and help me relinquish control into your far more capable hands. Thank you for the answers you have already set in motion. I look forward to seeing your mighty hand at work. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

EVERY TIME YOU AFFIRM YOUR TRUST IN GOD, you put a coin into GOD’S treasury. – PSALM 56 : 3 – 4, MATTHEW 6 : 20 – 21

https://youtu.be/NZvhY09266Q

“EVERY TIME YOU AFFIRM YOUR TRUST IN GOD, you put a coin into GOD’S treasury. Thus you build up equity in preparation for days of trouble. GOD keeps all trust invested in HIM safely in HIS heart , with interest compounded continuously. The more you trust GOD, the more HE empowers you to do so. Practice trusting The LORD during quiet days, when nothing much seems to be happening. Then when storms come, your trust balance will be sufficient to see you through. Store up for yourself treasure in heaven, through placing your trust in The LORD. This practice will keep you in GOD’S Peace.”

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

But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. MATTHEW 6 : 20 – 21

Prayer: Lord, I declare I will not be afraid. Though winds and storms may come I will not fear because you are with me. You have a good plan for me. I trust you completely. In Jesus name. Amen.

1 Peter‬ ‭2:24-25‬

“He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.” For “you were like sheep going astray,” but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.” ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭2:24-25‬ ‭NIV‬‬

The day you made Jesus the Lord of your life your healing took place. The healing you received covered sickness, depression, poverty, anger, corrupted thoughts, etc….. This scripture speaks of the overseeing of your soul, meaning you have a live-in doctor, psychiatrists, financial adviser, and counselor all rolled into one living in your soul – The Lord. Today’s prayer is that believing this scripture and trusting in what Jesus did at Calvary will bring peace to your life, In Jesus name 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

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 feel 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

If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles‬ ‭7‬:‭14‬ NIV

This scripture is so time appropriate!!!! In the world today with all the wicked ways we need to fall on our faces and pray…….Be Blessed and pray hard

Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5‬:‭16-18‬ NLT

To have a joyful heart is to know how blessed you are, to pray in all circumstances is to acknowledge that Jesus is in control, to give thanks in all circumstances is our reasonable service for what God has done for us… Today I pray that all would be joyful, thankful, and pray through all situations……Be Blessed

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PRAISE OR THANK GOD TOO MUCH. – PSALM 22 : 3, PSALM 146 : 1 – 2, 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 18

https://youtu.be/2IPRxnyJMq0

“IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PRAISE OR THANK GOD TOO MUCH. As it is written, GOD inhabits the praises of HIS people. Sometimes your adoration is a spontaneous overflow of Joy, in response to radiant beauty or rich blessings. At other times your praise is more disciplined and measured—an act of your will. GOD dwells equally in both types of praise. Thankfulness, also, is a royal road to draw near GOD. A thankful heart has plenty of room for The LORD. When you thank The LORD for the many pleasures HE provides, you affirm that The LORD is God, from whom all blessings flow. When adversity strikes and you thank GOD anyway, your trust in HIS sovereignty is a showpiece in invisible realms. Fill up the spare moments of your life with praise and thanksgiving. This joyous discipline will help you live in the intimacy of GOD’S Presence.”

But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. PSALM 22 : 3 (KJV)

Praise the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul. I will praise the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live. PSALM 146 : 1 – 2

Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 18

Prayer: Lord thank you for another day to love you and love others. Help me to do that well today by the power of your Holy Spirit. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Philippians‬ ‭1‬:‭9-11

I pray that your love will overflow more and more, and that you will keep on growing in knowledge and understanding. For I want you to understand what really matters, so that you may live pure and blameless lives until the day of Christ’s return. May you always be filled with the fruit of your salvation—the righteous character produced in your life by Jesus Christ —for this will bring much glory and praise to God. Philippians‬ ‭1‬:‭9-11‬ NLT

How are you reacting to situations that catch you off guard? Are you being led by a loving God, or by a worldly reaction? We as believers need to strive to be like Jesus in our every moment. Today I pray that we would ask God for the knowledge to fit every reaction and handle them as Christ did…..Be Blessed
