“So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him.” Acts 12 : 5 NIV
Peter was equivalent to our pastors today, he assembled the people built on the foundation of Jesus Christ. Peter endured many different types of persecution and the people continued to pray together for him. Today’s pastors are no different, they are also under attack from the devil for all the souls they are winning for God. Today’s prayer is that we would always pray for our pastors, pray God would give them wisdom, strength, humility, and most of all direction to grow God’s church the way He intended it to be ……. Be Blessed and Pray Hard!
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
“RELAX IN GOD’S HEALING, holy Presence. Be still, while GOD transforms your heart and mind. Let go of cares and worries, so that you can receive GOD’S Peace. Cease striving, and know that The LORD IS GOD. Do not be like Pharisees who multiplied regulations, creating their own form of “godliness.” They got so wrapped up in their own rules that they lost sight of GOD. Even today, man-made rules about how to live the Christian life enslave many people. Their focus is on their performance, rather than on The LORD. It is through knowing GOD intimately that you become like HIM. This requires spending time alone with GOD. Let go, relax, be still, and know that The LORD IS GOD.”
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 (NKJV)
Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. 1 JOHN 3 : 2
Prayer
Prayer: Lord, help me to let go of my worries and striving, and simply rest in Your Presence. Quiet my mind and heart so I can know You more deeply — not through rules or performance, but through real relationships. Teach me to be still and trust that You are God. Amen
“This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and one which enters within the veil,” Hebrews 6 : 19 NASB
The world tells us that Hope is a waste of time!!!! As a believer that is crazy!!!! Remember when you were a kid and hope was all you had for that new baseball glove or pair of new shoes? That is the same Hope we should have today in our promise from God’s Word. Today’s prayer is that we would never lose Hope in anything!!! With Hope and Prayer all things are possible! …… 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 CHILD, THE WORLD IS TOO MUCH WITH YOU. Your mind leaps from problem to problem to problem, tangling your thoughts in anxious knots. When you think like that, you leave GOD out of your world-view and your mind becomes darkened. Though GOD yearns to help, The LORD will not violate your freedom. GOD stands silently in the background of your mind, waiting for you to remember that HE is with you. When you turn from your problems to GOD’S Presence, your load is immediately lighter. Circumstances may not have changed, but you carry your burdens together. Your compulsion to “fix” everything gives way to a deep, satisfying connection with GOD. Together with The LORD you can handle whatever this day brings.”
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
“The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.” ZEPHANIAH 3 : 17
A righteous man may have many troubles, but the LORD delivers him from them all. PSALM 34 : 19
Prayer
Prayer: Jesus, when my mind is overwhelmed and tangled in worry, remind me to turn to You. Help me stop trying to fix everything on my own and instead lean into Your Presence. Thank You for carrying my burdens with me and bringing peace even when nothing around me changes. Amen.
“So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while. These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.” 1 Peter 1 : 6 – 7 NLT
How do you deal with the trials of life? Do you stress, worry, curse, cry or pray? Prayer and communication with our LORD during trials is critical!!! Not communicating with GOD shows your dependence on yourself effort. Today’s prayer is that you exercise your Faith in GOD not yourself! When trials rear their ugly head seek GOD for council ……. 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
But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, Philippians 3 : 20 NIV
In the world today you have to wonder what is going on. All the things that are going on around us have to make you go WOW. As Christians we should know what’s going on, The LORD spoke about all these things in the end times. No one likes to hear the statement “end times” but it’s reality. Our home is in heaven with The LORD, not here on earth! It’s temporary. Today’s prayer is that the days we live on earth that we would witness the love of Jesus Christ to all ……. 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
“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.” Philippians 2 : 3 – 4 NIV
When you do something nice for someone do you expect something or just do it from humility and love? This scripture tells us to do nothing out of selfishness or vain conceit. Today’s prayer is that we would have the mind of Christ in all things, live humble and experience true joy …….. Be Blessed
Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have 2 Corinthians 5 : 17
“GOD IS WITH YOU, watching over you constantly. GOD is Emmanuel (God with you); HIS Presence enfolds you in radiant Love. Nothing, including the brightest blessings and the darkest trials, can separate you from The LORD. Some of GOD’S children find HIM more readily during dark times, when difficulties force them to depend on GOD. Others feel closer to GOD when their lives are filled with good things. They respond with thanksgiving and praise, thus opening wide the door to The LORD’S Presence. The LORD knows precisely what you need to draw nearer to HIM. Go through each day looking for what The LORD has prepared for you. Accept every event as GOD’S hand-tailored provision for your needs. When you view your life this way, the most reasonable response is to be thankful. Do not reject any of GOD’S gifts; find GOD in every situation.”
Scripture
“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 : 23
So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. COLOSSIANS 2 : 6 – 7
Prayer
Prayer: Lord help me to overflow with thankfulness despite problems in this life, this is not my true home. Help me to be rooted and built up in Christ, strengthened in my faith, and overflowing with thankfulness. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness.” John 3 : 11 NKJV
It is hard for some to understand your testimony, especially those who do not know The Lord. We all have our individual GOD story and that is for a reason, we all are called differently. Today’s prayer is that we would stay strong to our testimony to witness people to Jesus Christ and HE will do the rest ……. 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 ANOINT YOU with HIS Presence. GOD is King of kings and Lord of lords, dwelling in unapproachable Light. When you draw near to GOD, The LORD responds by coming closer to you. As GOD’S Presence envelops you, you may feel overwhelmed by HIS Power and Glory. This is a form of worship: sensing your smallness in comparison to GOD’S Greatness. Man has tended to make himself the measure of all things. But man’s measure is too tiny to comprehend GOD’S majestic vastness. That is why most people do not see The LORD at all, even though they live and move and have their being in HIM. Enjoy the radiant beauty of The LORD’S Presence. Declare GOD’S glorious Being to the world!”
Scripture
God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honor and might forever. Amen. 1 TIMOTHY 6 : 15 – 16
Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. JAMES 4 : 8
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
Great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom. One generation will commend your works to another; they will tell of your mighty acts. They will speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty, and I will meditate on your wonderful works. They will tell of the power of your awesome works, and I will proclaim your great deeds. Psalm 145 : 3 – 6
Prayer
Prayer: Lord, anoint me with Your Presence today. Help me sense Your power and glory and be in awe of who You are. Let the wonder of Your greatness stir worship in my heart and overflow into my words and actions, so that I may reflect Your light to those around me. Amen
