STAY CALMLY conscious of GOD today, no matter what. – PSALM 23 : 1 – 4, 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 16 – 17

“STAY CALMLY conscious of GOD today, no matter what. Remember that GOD goes before you as well as with you into the day. Nothing takes GOD by surprise. The LORD will not allow circumstances to overwhelm you, so long as you look to HIM. The LORD will help you cope with whatever the moment presents. Collaborating with GOD brings blessings that far outweigh all your troubles. Awareness of GOD’S Presence contains Joy that can endure all eventualities.”

Scripture

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. PSALM 23 : 1 – 4 (NKJV)

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 16 – 17

Prayer

Prayer: Lord when circumstances threaten to overwhelm me, help me to fix my eyes on you Jesus. To rely on your strength and wisdom and not my own. You are with me every step of the way and will show me the way, one step at a time. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

2 Corinthians‬ ‭6 ‬: ‭1 – 2

As God’s partners, we beg you not to accept this marvelous gift of God’s kindness and then ignore it. For God says, “At just the right time, I heard you. On the day of salvation, I helped you.” Indeed, the “right time” is now. Today is the day of salvation. ‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭6 ‬: ‭1 – 2‬ NLT

Is today that day? Do you have a friend or loved one that doesn’t know The Lord ? Well today is that day. We as Christians can not save people, but can be used as a conduit for God to reach the unsaved. Our job is to witness by our actions, the love we show, and not only what we do when others are watching, but when they’re not. God has a use for each and everyone of us!!!! Ask him to show you. Today I pray that we would boldly witness to all that are unsaved and on a road to destruction and make today that day for someone……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

LET GOD’S LOVE STREAM THROUGH YOU, washing away fear and distrust. – PSALM 52 : 8, DEUTERONOMY 31 : 6, EPHESIANS 4 : 30

“LET GOD’S LOVE STREAM THROUGH YOU, washing away fear and distrust. A trusting response includes GOD in your thoughts as you consider strategies to deal with a situation. The LORD’S continual Presence is a promise, guaranteeing that you never have to face anything alone. GOD’S children teeth on the truth that GOD is always with them, yet they stumble around in a stupor, unaware of The LORD’S loving Presence all around them. How that grieves GOD! When you walk through a day in trusting dependence on GOD, HIS aching heart is soothed. Gently bring your attention back to The LORD whenever it wanders away. GOD looks for persistence — rather than perfection — in your walk with HIM.”

Scripture

But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in God’s unfailing love for ever and ever. PSALM 52 : 8

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” DEUTERONOMY 31 : 6

And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. EPHESIANS 4 : 30

Prayer

Prayer: God may your love wash away any fear and distrust in my heart. Help me to include You in my thoughts as I consider strategies to deal with a situation. Your continual Presence is a promise, guaranteeing that I never have to face anything alone. Thank you Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

ACTS ‬ ‭9 ‬ :‭ 1 – 6‬

Meanwhile, Saul was uttering threats with every breath and was eager to kill the Lord’s followers. So he went to the high priest. He requested letters addressed to the synagogues in Damascus, asking for their cooperation in the arrest of any followers of the Way he found there. He wanted to bring them—both men and women—back to Jerusalem in chains. As he was approaching Damascus on this mission, a light from heaven suddenly shone down around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul! Saul! Why are you persecuting me?” “Who are you, lord?” Saul asked. And the voice replied, “I am Jesus, the one you are persecuting! Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.” ‭ACTS ‬ ‭9 ‬ :‭ 1 – 6‬ NLT

Saul was one of the most dangerous threats to the Christians of all times, but God had a major plan for him. The transformation from Saul to Paul was amazing and God is still transforming people in the same way today. Paul went on to write more than half of the New Testament and is considered one of the greatest apostles of Christ. Today’s prayer is that God would work that same miracle in the ones that persecute the Christians today and that they would see the Lord for who he is……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

HOLD GOD’S HAND—AND TRUST. – ISAIAH 41 : 10, PSALM 62 : 5 – 6

“HOLD GOD’S HAND—AND TRUST. So long as you are conscious of GOD’S Presence with you, all is well. It is virtually impossible to stumble while walking in the Light with The LORD. GOD designed you to enjoy HIM above all else. You find the deepest fulfillment of your heart in GOD alone. Fearful, anxious thoughts melt away in the Light of The LORD’S Presence. When you turn away from GOD, you are vulnerable to the darkness that is always at work in the world. Don’t be surprised by how easily you sin when you forget to cling to GOD’S hand. In the world, dependency is seen as immaturity. But in GOD’S kingdom, dependence on HIM is a prime measure of maturity.”

Scripture

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” ISAIAH 41 : 10

Find rest, Oh my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken. PSALM 62 : 5 – 6

Prayer

Prayer: Find rest, Oh my soul, in God alone. My hope and my help comes from you Lord. Help me to stay conscious of your presence today and to enjoy you above all else. In you, I find the deepest fulfillment for my soul. In Jesus name. Amen.

‭‭Romans‬ ‭13 : 8‬ ‭

“Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭13 : 8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Are you loving to get something or are you loving because that’s what’s in your heart? To love someone is to give the same sacrifice that Christ gave on the cross! As hard as that may be, it’s true. True love is forgiveness no matter what the circumstance. Today’s prayer is that Jesus would help us with forgiveness. And place in our hearts true love……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

WAIT PATIENTLY WITH GOD while HE blesses you. – MICAH 7 : 7, REVELATION 1 : 8, NUMBERS 6 : 24 – 26

“WAIT PATIENTLY WITH GOD while HE blesses you. Don’t rush into GOD’S Presence with time-consciousness gnawing at your mind. GOD dwells in timelessness: GOD is, GOD was, GOD will always be. For you, time is a protection; you’re a frail creature who can handle only twenty-four-hour segments of life. Time can also be a tyrant, ticking away relentlessly in your mind. Learn to master time, or it will be your master. Though you are a time-bound creature, seek to meet GOD in timelessness. As you focus on GOD’S Presence, the demands of time and tasks will diminish. The LORD will bless you and keep you, making HIS Face shine upon you graciously, giving you Peace.”

Scripture

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

“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.” REVELATION 1 : 8

“The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace.” NUMBERS 6 : 24 – 26

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, help me not to rush into your presence. To enjoy just sitting with you as you fill me with peace. Thank you for your goodness and faithfulness. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

GOD SPEAKS TO YOU CONTINUALLY. – PSALM 8 : 1 – 4, PSALM 19 : 1 – 2, JEREMIAH 29 : 13

“GOD SPEAKS TO YOU CONTINUALLY. The LORD’S nature is to communicate, though not always in words. GOD flings glorious sunsets across the sky, day after day after day. GOD speaks in the faces and voices of loved ones. The LORD caresses you with a gentle breeze that refreshes and delights you. The LORD speaks softly in the depths of your spirit, where GOD has taken up residence. You can find GOD in each moment, when you have eyes that see and ears that hear. Ask GOD’S Holy Spirit to sharpen your spiritual eyesight and hearing. GOD rejoices each time you discover HIS Presence. Practice looking and listening for The LORD during quiet intervals. Gradually you will find GOD in more and more of your moments. You will seek GOD and find HIM, when you seek The LORD above all else.”

Scripture

O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger. When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? PSALM 8 : 1 – 4

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. PSALM 19 : 1 – 2

“You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” JEREMIAH 29 : 13

Prayer

Prayer: God who am I that you would speak to me continually? Sharpen my spiritual eyes and hearing to see and hear you in each moment. Help me to search for you like hidden treasure. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Prayer in the morning in a beautiful sunrise.

GOD IS THE FIRM FOUNDATION on which you can dance and sing and celebrate HIS Presence. – PSALM 5 : 11, EPHESIANS 3 : 20 – 21, JUDE 24 – 25, JOSHUA 1 : 5

“GOD IS THE FIRM FOUNDATION on which you can dance and sing and celebrate HIS Presence. This is GOD’S high and holy calling for you; receive it as a precious gift. Glorifying and enjoying GOD is a higher priority than maintaining a tidy, structured life. Give up your striving to keep everything under control—an impossible task and a waste of precious energy. The LORD’S guidance for each of HIS children is unique. That’s why listening to GOD is so vital for your well-being. Let GOD prepare you for the day that awaits you and point you in the right direction. The LORD is with you continually, so don’t be intimidated by fear. Though it stalks you, it cannot harm you, as long as you cling to GOD’S hand. Keep your eyes on GOD, enjoying Peace in HIS Presence.”

Scripture

But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you. PSALM 5 : 11 

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. EPHESIANS 3 : 20 – 21 

To him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy— to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen. JUDE 24 – 25 

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. JOSHUA 1 : 5

Prayer

Prayer:  Jesus you are my rock and firm foundation on which I stand, all other rocks are sinking sand. Help me to glorify and enjoy you more than trying to keep a tidy life. In Jesus name. Amen. 

YOU ARE GOD’S BELOVED CHILD. – EPHESIANS 1 : 4, PROVERBS 16 : 9, JEREMIAH 29 : 11, EPHESIANS 1 : 13 – 14

“YOU ARE GOD’S BELOVED CHILD. GOD chose you before the foundation of the world, to walk with HIM along paths designed uniquely for you. Concentrate on keeping in step with GOD, instead of trying to anticipate The LORD’S plans for you. If you trust that GOD’S plans are to prosper you and not to harm you, you can relax and enjoy the present moment. Your hope and your future are rooted in heaven, where eternal ecstasy awaits you. Nothing can rob you of your inheritance of unimaginable riches and well-being. Sometimes GOD grants you glimpses of your glorious future, to encourage you and spur you on. But your main focus should be staying close to The LORD. GOD sets the pace in keeping with your needs and HIS purposes.”

Scripture

. . . just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love. EPHESIANS 1 : 4 (NKJV)

In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps. PROVERBS 16 : 9

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” JEREMIAH 29 : 11

And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory. EPHESIANS 1 : 13 – 14

Prayer

Prayer: God help me to walk in the Spirit today, to stay attuned to what you want me to say and do. And help me to relax and enjoy the present moment, knowing you have me in the palm of your hands. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
