“I will lift up my eyes to the mountains; From where shall my help come? My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to slip; He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel Will neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is your keeper; The LORD is your shade on your right hand. The sun will not smite you by day, Nor the moon by night. The LORD will protect you from all evil; He will keep your soul. The LORD will guard your going out and your coming in From this time forth and forever.” Psalms 121 : 1 – 8 NASB
Where is your trust? This psalm reminds us that we as Christians don’t trust in the world but in the Lord. Today’s prayer is that we would all evaluate where our trust lies, if it is not in The Lord then put it 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
“GOD, THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, is with you and for you. What more could you need? When you feel some lack, it is because you are not connecting with The LORD at a deep level. GOD offers abundant Life; your part is to trust GOD, refusing to worry about anything. It is not so much adverse events that make you anxious as it is your thoughts about those events. Your mind engages in efforts to take control of a situation, to bring about the result you desire. Your thoughts close in on the problem like ravenous wolves. Determined to make things go your way, you forget that The LORD is in charge of your life. The only remedy is to switch your focus from the problem to GOD’S Presence. Stop all your striving, and watch to see what The LORD will do. GOD is The Lord!”
Scripture
What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? ROMANS 8 : 31 – 32
But as for me, I watch in hope for the LORD, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me. MICAH 7 : 7
Prayer
Prayer: God, You — the Creator of everything — are with me and for me, and that’s more than enough. Help me stop striving and worrying, and instead trust You fully, keeping my eyes on Your Presence instead of my problems. Amen
Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! Psalms 139 : 14 – 17 NLT
Do you ever struggle in knowing your purpose? What it is that you’re supposed to be doing in this life? Well this Psalm tells us that God knows every stretch of road on our highway of life. Today I pray that we all would know that God is in control, that HE has had a plan for all of us since before we were born, although we may not understand the bumps in our road, God does and He has the strength to move them ……. Trust in God and 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
“WHEN YOUR SINS WEIGH HEAVILY upon you, come to GOD. Confess your wrongdoing, which GOD knows all about before you say a word. Stay in the Light of The LORD’S Presence, receiving forgiveness, cleansing, and healing. Remember that GOD has clothed you in HIS righteousness, so nothing can separate you from GOD. Whenever you stumble or fall, The LORD is there to help you up. Man’s tendency is to hide from his sin, seeking refuge in the darkness. There he indulges in self-pity, denial, self-righteousness, blaming, and hatred. But GOD is the Light of the world, and GOD’S illumination decimates the darkness. Come close to The LORD and let HIS Light envelop you, driving out darkness and permeating you with Peace.”
Scripture
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. 1 JOHN 1 : 7
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
When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” JOHN 8 : 12
Prayer
Prayer: Jesus, when I feel the weight of my sins, help me run to You instead of hiding. Thank You for Your forgiveness and for covering me in Your righteousness—fill me with Your Light and Peace as I walk in Your Presence.
“He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name. Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me.” Psalms 23 : 3 – 4 NLT
Everyday is a new day thank God!!! We will fail, we will do things that are so out of line with God’s Word, etc. The Holy Spirit is always there with us, convicting us of our righteousness not our sin. Today’s prayer is we would understand our commission as Christians and know that God is right there in the mindset …… 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 WANTS YOU TO KNOW how safe and secure you are in HIS Presence. That is a fact, totally independent of your feelings. You are on your way to Heaven; nothing can prevent you from reaching that destination. There you will see THe LORD face to Face, and your Joy will be off the charts by any earthly standards. Even now, you are never separated from GOD, though you must see GOD through eyes of faith. GOD will walk with you till the end of time, and onward into eternity. Although The LORD’S Presence is a guaranteed promise, that does not necessarily change your feelings. When you forget GOD is with you, you may experience loneliness or fear. It is through awareness of The LORD’S Presence that Peace displaces negative feelings. Practice the discipline of walking consciously with GOD through each day.”
Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. 1 CORINTHIANS 13 : 12
The LORD gives strength to his people; the LORD blesses his people with peace. PSALM 29 : 11
Prayer: Jesus, thank You that I am always safe in Your Presence, no matter how I feel. Help me stay aware that You are walking with me every step of the way—now and forever—and let that truth fill me with peace and joy.
So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God. James 1 : 19 – 20 NKJV
Boy is this one needed in all of our lives, have you heard the saying “God gave you two ears and one mouth for a reason”? I believe this is the scripture it is based on. Everyone wants to jump to conclusions or assume the worst of every situation, shoot first then ask questions, this scripture is telling us to really process a situation before we come to our decision, and then when we come to that conclusion approach it in a Godly manner. Today I would pray that we all would put this approach into our lives and that the spirit of God would help us to obtain it ……… 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 IS YOUR LORD! Seek GOD as Friend and Lover of your soul, but remember that GOD is also King of kings — sovereign over all. You can make some plans as you gaze into the day that stretches out before you. But you need to hold those plans with open hands, anticipating that The LORD may have other ideas. The most important thing to determine is what to do right now. Instead of scanning the horizon of your life, looking for things that need to be done, concentrate on the task before you and the One who never leaves your side. Let everything else fade into the background. This will unclutter your mind, allowing GOD to occupy more and more of your consciousness. Trust The LORD to show you what to do when you have finished what you are doing now. GOD will guide you step by step, as you bend your will to HIS. Thus you stay close to GOD on the path of Peace.”
Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails. PROVERBS 19 : 21
“. . . 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: Lord thank you for reminding me I can make plans, but to hold them with open hands, anticipating you might have a better plan and want me to let go of mine. Help me concentrate on the task before me and the One who never leaves my side. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”GOD IS YOUR LORD!

Son of man, these men have taken their idols into their hearts, and set the stumbling block of their iniquity before their faces. Should I indeed let myself be consulted by them? Ezekiel 14 : 3
What things do you have in your life that cause you to sin ? More so, what thing do you put before God that keeps you in Sin? Today’s prayer is that anything in our lives that makes us sin or that we put before God we would get rid of immediately!!!! Pray that God would take them and replace them with a servant’s heart ……. Be Blessed

It’s time for America to wake up!!! We see all the horrible things daily on the news and maybe even with our own eyes, could it be because America has turned away from God? I believe so. Today’s prayer is that as Christians we would pray that the Nation would repent and turn back to God so that He will have his hand upon America again ……. Be Blessed
