COME TO GOD, and rest in HIS loving Presence. – MATTHEW 11 : 28 – 30, JOSHUA 1 : 5,9

https://youtu.be/gSk6g3aRRr4

“COME TO GOD, and rest in HIS loving Presence. You know that this day will bring difficulties, and you are trying to think your way through those trials. As you anticipate what is ahead of you, you forget that GOD is with you – now and always. Rehearsing your troubles results in experiencing them many times, whereas you are meant to go through them only when they actually occur. Do not multiply your suffering in this way! Instead, come to GOD, and relax in HIS Peace. GOD will strengthen you and prepare you for this day, transforming your fear into confident trust.”

Scripture

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” MATTHEW 11 : 28 – 30

“No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. . . . Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” JOSHUA 1 : 5,9

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me not to rehearse my troubles and instead rest in your presence allowing you to turn my worry into confident trust. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭Isaiah‬ ‭26‬:‭3

You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you! ‭Isaiah‬ ‭26‬:‭3‬ NLT

What are you thinking about? Are you focused on the problem? Are you thinking of all the things around you that are in a struggle? This scripture says to keep focus on The Lord and he will give you perfect peace!!! Not just peace but PERFECT peace. Today I pray that we would focus on Jesus ( the solution) not the problem, and rest in The Lord’s finished work……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’S FACE IS SHINING UPON YOU, beaming out Peace that transcends understanding. – PHILIPPIANS 4 : 7, MATTHEW 14 : 30, HEBREWS 12 : 2

https://youtu.be/0a1Qty7flsM

“GOD’S FACE IS SHINING UPON YOU, beaming out Peace that transcends understanding. You are surrounded by a sea of problems, but you are face to Face with GOD, your Peace. As long as you focus on GOD, you are safe. If you gaze too long at the myriad problems around you, you will sink under the weight of your burdens. When you start to sink, simply call out “Help me, Jesus!” and The LORD will lift you up. The closer you live to GOD, the safer you are. Circumstances around you are undulating, and there are treacherous-looking waves in the distance. Fix your eyes on GOD, the One who never changes. By the time those waves reach you, they will have shrunk to proportions of GOD’S design. The LORD is always beside you, helping you face today’s waves. The future is a phantom, seeking to spook you. Laugh at the future! Stay close to GOD.”

Scripture

And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 7

Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” MATTHEW 14 : 30

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. HEBREWS 12 : 2

Prayer

Prayer: Lord even when I’m surrounded by a sea of problems may I meet you in the inner room of my heart, where you always are, and where there is peace that surpasses understanding. Where I can quickly hide away with you, if even for a minute, before returning to the world. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭16-17‬

So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves. The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions. ‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭16-17‬ NLT

Need direction? Always trying to do better but seem to stay the same? This scripture says to let the Holy Spirit direct you and then you won’t be caught in the sinful nature. Today I pray we all would let the spirit direct our paths and see how life becomes more fulfilling…….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

James‬ ‭2‬:‭14-17‬

What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don’t show it by your actions? Can that kind of faith save anyone? Suppose you see a brother or sister who has no food or clothing, and you say, “Good-bye and have a good day; stay warm and eat well”—but then you don’t give that person any food or clothing. What good does that do? So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless. ‭James‬ ‭2‬:‭14-17‬ NLT

What do you do when you see someone in need? What is your first response? Do you feel the need to help or to just move on? The prompting of the Holy Spirit is always right there telling you what to do…… Today I pray that we would all take the time to help someone in need, Don’t be the judge whether or not they truly need it, just follow your heart….. Remember the true condition of a person’s heart is defined by their actions……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

Ephesians‬ ‭1:5-7‬

“he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace” Ephesians‬ ‭1:5-7‬ ‭NIV‬‬

To truly understand what Jesus did for us is mind blowing! If God had not sent Jesus to the cross for all of us we would have never had the chance to get into right standing with God. When God sees us he sees us through Jesus, so therefore he sees perfection. Today I pray that we would never forget the grace that has been given to us freely and undeserved. Praise Jesus in all things and be thankful for all you have, the alternative would have been brutal……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

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

https://youtu.be/IYmT3ZPZUFw

“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. The LORD 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 The LORD. GOD’S abiding Presence is the best road map available.”

Scripture

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

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 more aware of your presence with me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

2 Peter 1 : 2 – 3

Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, 2 Peter 1 : 2 – 3 NKJV

How could we ever be worried about anything ? The knowledge and the promise of God should bring us the biggest feeling of peace. Today I pray that all would rest in the promises of The Lord and sit back and trust that all things work for the greater in those who love The Lord

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

https://youtu.be/PA4HY2L1wyc

“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. The LORD searches among HIS children for receptivity to HIM. Guard well this gift that GOD has planted in your heart. Nurture it with the Light of GOD’S Presence. When you bring The LORD your prayer requests, lay out your concerns before HIM. Speak to GOD 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 The LORD for the answers that are on the way. If you keep on expressing your concerns to GOD, 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’S Presence and GOD’S promises.”

Scripture

“Be still, and know that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations,I will be exalted in the earth!” PSALM 46 : 10

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

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.

Proverbs‬ ‭23:26

“O my son, give me your heart. May your eyes take delight in following my ways.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭23:26‬ ‭NLT‬‬

The day you gave your heart to Jesus life truly began. The day you gave your life to the Lord you were so full of joy, so full of doing what was right in the Lord’s eyes, are you still that committed or have you changed? The Lord says he delights in following his ways and so should we. Today’s prayer is that we would all do a “once over” and check our condition. Are we more on fire or have our flames dwindled to smoke…… Be Blessed and light that fire back up

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
