“But may all who search for you be filled with joy and gladness in you. May those who love your salvation repeatedly shout, “God is great!”” Psalms 70:4 NLT
Actively searching for God daily is a necessity!!! Being in God’s presence is the greatest gift we can have!! Today’s prayer is that we would seek God in all we do and long to be in his presence……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
“LEARN TO LISTEN TO GOD even while you are listening to other people. As they open their souls to your scrutiny, you are on holy ground. You need the help of GOD’S Holy Spirit to respond appropriately. Ask The LORD’S Holy Spirit to think through you, live through you, love through you. The LORD is alive within you in the Person of the Holy Spirit. If you respond to others’ needs through your unaided thought processes, you offer them dry crumbs. When the Holy Spirit empowers your listening and speaking, The LORD’S streams of living water flow through you to other people. Be a channel of GOD’S Love, Joy, and Peace by listening to The LORD as you listen to others.”
“Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.” EXODUS 3 : 5
Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own. 1 CORINTHIANS 6 : 19
Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.” By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified. JOHN 7 : 38 – 39
Prayer: Lord thank you for your Holy Spirit who is God and knows everything about everything, past, present, and future – and who lives in me. Holy Spirit, think through me, live through me, and love through me – help me to listen and speak what you tell me. Use me Lord to be an encouragement to others. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“O God, you know how foolish I am; my sins cannot be hidden from you.” Psalms 69:5 NLT
To try to hide your sin from God is a foolish move! For God sees all. I know so many people who run from God when they sin instead of running to God when they sin!!! Today’s prayer is when we miss the mark and sin we would go directly to God and repent and ask God to forgive and help us to not sin again……..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
“Father to the fatherless, defender of widows— this is God, whose dwelling is holy.” Psalms 68:5 NLT
This is the standard of the living God we serve!!! Should we not follow the same example ? Today’s prayer is we would always to the best of our abilities help the orphans and the widows with whatever measure we can…..Be Blessed and Bless others….
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
DO NOT EXPECT to be treated fairly in this life. People will say and do hurtful things to you, things that you don’t deserve. When someone mistreats you, try to view it as an opportunity to grow in grace. See how quickly you can forgive the one who has wounded you. Don’t be concerned about setting the record straight. Instead of obsessing about other people’s opinions of you, keep your focus on GOD. Ultimately, it is GOD’S view of you that counts. As you concentrate on relating to The LORD, remember that GOD has clothed you in HIS righteousness and holiness. GOD’S see you attired in these radiant garments, which Jesus Christ, The LORD bought for you with HIS blood. This also is not fair; it is a pure gift. When others treat you unfairly, remember that GOD’S ways with you are much better than fair. GOD’S ways are Peace and Love, which The LORD has poured out into your heart by HIS Holy Spirit.”
Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. COLOSSIANS 3 : 13
I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. ISAIAH 61 : 10
In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding. EPHESIANS 1 : 7 – 8
And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. ROMANS 5 : 5
Prayer: Lord thank you for reminding me not to expect to be treated fairly in this life. Help me to forgive others just as you have forgiven me time and time again. Thank you for your amazing grace. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“AS YOU BECOME increasingly aware of GOD’S Presence, you find it easier to discern the way you should go. This is one of the practical benefits of living close to GOD. Instead of wondering about what is on the road ahead or worrying about what you should do if . . . or when . . ., you can concentrate on staying in communication with The LORD. When you actually arrive at a choice-point, GOD will show you which direction to go. Many people are so preoccupied with future plans and decisions that they fail to see choices they need to make today. Without any conscious awareness, they make their habitual responses. People who live this way find a dullness creeping into their lives. They sleepwalk through their days, following well-worn paths of routine. GOD, the Creator of the universe, is the most creative Being imaginable. GOD will not leave you circling in deeply rutted paths. Instead, The LORD will lead you along fresh trails of adventure, revealing to you things you did not know. Stay in communication with GOD. Follow The LORD’S guiding Presence.”
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you. PSALM 32 : 8
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. GENESIS 1 : 1
Prayer: Lord, help me to concentrate on staying in communication with you so I can learn to hear your voice more clearly and discern the way to go. Help me to let go of the unknowns in the future and focus on what you have for me today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“What mighty praise, O God, belongs to you in Zion. We will fulfill our vows to you, for you answer our prayers. All of us must come to you.” Psalms 65:1-2 NLT
God is our refuge!!!!! End of story!!! When we are down we have God, when we are stressed we have God, when we are blessed we have God!!! Today’s prayer is WE HAVE GOD ALL THE TIME!!!! Give thanks and know he is always there…….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
“COME TO GOD when you are hurting, and GOD will soothe your pain. Come to GOD when you are joyful, and GOD will share your Joy, multiplying it many times over. The LORD is All you need, just when you need it. Your deepest desires find fulfillment in GOD alone. This is the age of self-help. Bookstores abound with books about “taking care of number one,” making oneself the center of all things. The main goal of these methodologies is to become self-sufficient and confident. You, however, have been called to take a “road less traveled”: continual dependence on The LORD. True confidence comes from knowing you are complete in GOD’S Presence. Everything you need has its counterpart in The LORD.”
“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.” JOHN 15 : 5
Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. JAMES 1 : 4
Prayer: God teach me that you are all I need, just when I need it. My deepest desires find fulfillment in you alone. And in you alone I find true rest. Thank you Jesus. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
“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 HIS Names: Jesus—the Lord saves, and Emmanuel—God with us. Strive to remain conscious of GOD’S Presence even in your busiest moments. Talk with The LORD 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 GOD 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: Lord, thank you for your perpetual presence. Help me to talk with you more today than I did yesterday throughout my day, when I do I remind myself you are with me, with you all things are possible. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
