SIT QUIETLY WITH GOD, letting all your fears and worries bubble up to the surface of your consciousness. – LUKE 12 : 22 – 26, DEUTERONOMY 31 : 6, 2 CORINTHIANS 10 : 5

https://youtu.be/Q7Z3XUg1rgs

“SIT QUIETLY WITH GOD, letting all your fears and worries bubble up to the surface of your consciousness. There, in the Light of GOD’S Presence, the bubbles pop and disappear. However, some fears surface over and over again, especially fear of the future. You tend to project yourself mentally into the next day, week, month, year, decade; and you visualize yourself coping badly in those times. What you are seeing is a false image, because it doesn’t include GOD. Those gloomy times that you imagine will not come to pass, since GOD’S Presence will be with you at all times. When a future-oriented worry assails you, capture it and disarm it by suffusing the Light of GOD’S Presence into that mental image. Say to yourself, “Jesus will be with me then and there. With His help, I can cope!” Then, come home to the present moment, where you can enjoy Peace in GOD’S Presence.”

Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?” LUKE 12 : 22 – 26

“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

We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 2 CORINTHIANS 10 : 5

Prayer: Lord in the light of your presence all my fears and worries pop and disappear like a bubble. I know no matter what happens in the future you will be with me and your rod and your staff will comfort me. No matter what, when I’m with you, I can say, it is well with my soul. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Ecclesiastes‬ ‭7‬:‭5‬

Better to be criticized by a wise person than to be praised by a fool. Ecclesiastes‬ ‭7‬:‭5‬ NLT

Where are you seeking approval from? The world measure? God’s measure? Through life we have been taught right from wrong, if you are living a life that you know does not please God then you can be assured you will have tons of approval from the world’s measure. Today I pray that we all would check where our approval is coming from, the world or God’s word……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 APPRECIATE difficult days. – ISAIAH 41 : 10, PSALM 102 : 27, ACTS 17 : 28

https://youtu.be/cjJO2DnOyTA

“LEARN TO APPRECIATE difficult days. Be stimulated by the challenges you encounter along your way. As you journey through rough terrain with GOD, gain confidence from your knowledge that together with GOD, you can handle anything. This knowledge is comprised of three parts: your relationship with GOD, promises in the Bible, and past experiences of coping successfully during hard times. Look back on your life, and see how GOD has helped you through difficult days. If you are tempted to think, “Yes, but that was then, and this is now, ” remember who GOD is! Although you and your circumstances may change dramatically, GOD remains the same throughout time and eternity. This is the basis of your confidence. In GOD’S Presence you live and move and have your being.”

“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

But you remain the same, and your years will never end. PSALM 102 : 27

“‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’” ACTS 17 : 28

Prayer: Lord this life can be really hard, but I gain confidence knowing that you are always with me, for me, and the power that raised Jesus from the dead is in me. Thank you for never leaving me or forsaking me. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray. Amen.

Acts of the Apostles‬ ‭20:24‬ ‭

“But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God.” ‭‭Acts of the Apostles‬ ‭20:24‬ ‭

Our lives are a blink of the eye!! We are not promised tomorrow! Jesus has commissioned us to share his greatness, are we? We tend to get caught up in the day to day struggles but God has us right in his hand. Today’s prayer is we all would know that we belong to God not to the world, God has us and will always have us……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

‭‭Job‬ ‭10:12‬

“You gave me life and showed me your unfailing love. My life was preserved by your care.” ‭‭Job‬ ‭10:12‬ ‭NLT‬‬

God cares for you! When it seems like you don’t have a friend in the world, you have a friend in God. Job went through some of the most life altering trials but still knew that God was there for him. Today’s prayer is that when we go through trials we would think of Job and have the same praising attitude that he had, praise God in the sunshine and in the storms………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

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 we 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

YOU CAN LIVE AS CLOSE TO GOD as you choose. – PHILIPPIANS 4 : 12, GENESIS 28 : 15, PHILIPPIANS 4 : 19, ROMANS 8 : 38 – 39

https://youtu.be/qLlBZ0geHqw

“YOU CAN LIVE AS CLOSE TO GOD as you choose. GOD sets up no barriers between you and HIM; neither does GOD tear down barriers that you erect. People tend to think their circumstances determine the quality of their lives. So they pour their energy into trying to control those situations. They feel happy when things are going well, and sad or frustrated when things don’t turn out as they’d hoped. They rarely question this correlation between their circumstances and feelings. Yet it is possible to be content in any and every situation. Put more energy into trusting GOD and enjoying GOD’S Presence. Don’t let your well-being depend on your circumstances. Instead, connect your joy to GOD’S precious promises:”

I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go. I will meet all your needs according to My glorious riches. from My Love. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 12

“I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.” GENESIS 28 : 15

And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 19

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. ROMANS 8 : 38 – 39

Prayer: God help me to desire to live close to you and to put my energy into trusting you and enjoying your presence. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Isaiah‬ ‭41:10‬

“Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭41:10‬ ‭NLT‬‬

What are you worried about? What are you afraid of? There are a ton of things to worry about in the flesh!!!! There are a ton of things to be scared of in the flesh!!!!! But God’s word will never fail and this scripture lines it out perfectly for how we are to think in the spirit!!! Today’s prayer is that we all would hand over ALL of our worries and fears to God almighty and know that he has our backs 100% of the time ……. 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

WALK PEACEFULLY WITH GOD through this day. – EXODUS 33 : 14, DEUTERONOMY 33 : 25, HEBREWS 13 : 20 – 21, PSALM 29 : 11

https://youtu.be/iNN_i0pl3nU

WALK PEACEFULLY WITH GOD through this day. You are wondering how you will cope with all that is expected of you. You must traverse this day like any other: one step at a time. Instead of mentally rehearsing how you will do this or that, keep your mind on GOD’S Presence and on taking the next step. The more demanding your day, the more help you can expect from GOD. This is a training opportunity, since The LORD designed you for deep dependence on HIM, your Shepherd-King. Challenging times wake you up and amplify your awareness of needing GOD’S help. When you don’t know what to do, wait while The LORD opens the way before you. Trust that GOD knows what HE is doing, and be ready to follow HIS lead. GOD will give strength to you, and GOD will bless you with Peace.”

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

The bolts of your gates will be iron and bronze, and your strength will equal your days. DEUTERONOMY 33 : 25

May the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. HEBREWS 13 : 20 – 21

The LORD gives strength to his people; the LORD blesses his people with peace. PSALM 29 : 11

Prayer: Lord thank you the more demanding my day, the more I can expect your help when I give up control to you. Help me to view challenging times as reminders of how much I need your help. Give me strength and peace to do your good works today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Colossians‬ ‭3:12-13‬

“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” Colossians‬ ‭3:12-13‬ ‭NIV‬‬

It’s so easy to judge something you don’t agree with, in the world today there are so many things that make you go hmmmmm. As Christians we need to look at ourselves and not look at others!!! Today’s prayer is that we would love, forgive, and pray for all!!!! If we see something we don’t agree with pray and turn to the Father for wisdom and understanding…….Be Blessed
