Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 NLT
To have a joyful heart is to know how blessed you are, to pray in all circumstances is to acknowledge that Jesus is in control, to give thanks in all circumstances is our reasonable service for what God has done for us… Today I pray that all would be joyful, thankful, and pray through all situations……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
“If only you would prepare your heart and lift up your hands to him in prayer! Get rid of your sins, and leave all iniquity behind you. Then your face will brighten with innocence. You will be strong and free of fear. Job 11:13-15 NLT
Is there a stronghold in your life that you just can’t seem to get rid of? Here’s a hint SURRENDER!!!!! Surrender all to God and let his grace see you out of the stronghold. Today’s prayer is that we would surrender all of our strongholds to God, for we as flesh cannot overcome them on our own…..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
“My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.” James 1:2-3 NKJV
Our days are filled with trials how’s your faith holding up? Are you focused more on the trial than the solution? The solution is Jesus Christ!!! And truly knowing that he will never let his children endure more than they can handle look through the trial to him. Today’s prayer is that our faith in the Lord would be so strong that we see a opportunity in each trial to make us not only stronger but wiser…….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
“APPROACH THIS DAY WITH AWARENESS OF WHO IS BOSS. As you make plans for the day, remember that it is GOD who orchestrates the events of your life. On days when things go smoothly, according to your plans, you may be unaware of GOD’S sovereign Presence. On days when your plans are thwarted, be on the lookout for GOD! The LORD may be doing something important in your life, something quite different from what you expected. It is essential at such times to stay in communication with GOD, accepting HIS way as better than yours. Don’t try to figure out what is happening. Simply trust GOD and thank HIM in advance for the good that will come out of it all. GOD knows the plans HE has for you, and they are good.”
“As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.” ISAIAH 55 : 9 – 11
“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
Prayer: Lord, I declare you are in charge of my life. When I forget and take back control, gently remind me your ways are higher than my ways. When I surrender to you it’s always an amazing adventure where I wait expectantly to see what you have planned next. I trust you completely Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Jesus told them, “This is the only work God wants from you: Believe in the one he has sent.” John 6:29 NLT
I see so many different members of the church doing religious acts to try and gain favor from God, it’s not about how many hours you prayed, how many days you fast, how many chapters you read in the bible, all of those things are very important but they won’t gain you more favor from God, nothing will. Today’s prayer is that we would seek to favor God above all else and understand that Jesus said just BELIEVE………..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
“SEEK GOD’S FACE, and you will find more than you ever dreamed possible. Let GOD displace worry at the center of your being. GOD is like a supersaturated cloud, showering Peace into the pool of your mind. The LORD’s Nature is to bless. Your nature is to receive with thanksgiving. This is a true fit, designed before the foundation of the world. Glorify GOD by receiving HIS blessings gratefully. THE LORD is the goal of all your searching. When you seek GOD, you find HIM and are satisfied. When lesser goals capture your attention, The LORD fades into the background of your life. GOD is still there, watching and waiting; but you function as if you were alone. Actually, GOD’S Light shines on every situation you will ever face. Live radiantly by expanding your focus to include The LORD in all your moments. Let nothing dampen your search for GOD.”
When You said, “Seek My face,” My heart said to You, “Your face, LORD, I will seek.” PSALM 27 : 8 (NKJV)
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 7
“You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” JEREMIAH 29 : 13
Prayer: Lord, you are the goal of all of my searching. You are the only one who can make me whole and fill me with joy and peace. You are the only one Jesus who can make me right with God. The work you did, in my place, on the cross settled it. No more striving to keep the law. It is finished. My eternity is sealed. Thank you, thank you Jesus. Amen.
“GOD IS LEADING YOU ALONG THE HIGH ROAD, but there are descents as well as ascents. In the distance you see snow-covered peaks glistening in brilliant sunlight. Your longing to reach those peaks is good, but you must not take shortcuts. Your assignment is to follow GOD, allowing HIM to direct your path. Let the heights beckon you onward, but stay close to GOD. Learn to trust The LORD when things go “wrong.” Disruptions to your routine highlight your dependence on GOD. Trusting acceptance of trials brings blessings that far outweigh them all. Walk hand in hand with The LORD through this day. GOD has lovingly planned every inch of the way. Trust does not falter when the path becomes rocky and steep. Breathe deep breaths of GOD’S Presence, and hold tightly to HIS hand. Together you can make it!”
Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him, “Follow me!” JOHN 21 : 19
For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 17
The Sovereign LORD is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to go on the heights. For the director of music. On my stringed instruments. HABAKKUK 3 : 19
Prayer: Lord help me to develop trusting acceptance of trials and learn to walk hand in hand with you through them. Trusting your good plan and process is sufficient for me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
And God has given us his Spirit as proof that we live in him and he in us. 1 John 4:13 NLT
Do your ever get that feeling inside of total peace? Do you ever hear that voice telling you don’t do that do this? This my friends is the spirit of God that lives inside us. Today I pray that we would all listen to the direction that the Holy Spirit gives us, listen closely and be at peace…….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
“COME TO GOD WITH A THANKFUL HEART, so that you can enjoy GOD’S Presence. This is the day that GOD has made. GOD wants you to rejoice today, refusing to worry about tomorrow. Search for all that The LORD has prepared for you, anticipating abundant blessings and accepting difficulties as they come. GOD can weave miracles into the most mundane day if you keep your focus on HIM. Come to The LORD with all your needs, knowing that HIS glorious riches are a more-than-adequate supply. Stay in continual communication with GOD, so that you can live above your circumstances even while you are in the midst of them. Present your requests to GOD with thanksgiving, and The LORD’s Peace, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your heart and mind.”
This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. PSALM 118 : 24
And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 19, 6 – 7 (NKJV)
Prayer: God, help me to come to you with all my needs. Knowing that you care and want to be a part of every detail of my life. Your word says to cast my cares on you because you care for me. And when I do, your peace which surpasses all understanding, will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Amen.
But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light. 1 Peter 2:9 NLT
Isn’t it nice to know that this is how God feels about us, He loves us so much that we are his chosen people. The world says hold your own and watch out for number one but as God’s chosen people we should show the same love and compassion as he does. Today I pray that we all would show that same love, as hard as it is to remember the mercy and grace that we have been given……Be Blessed
