For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. 1 John 2:16 NIV
What are your priorities? Are you striving to be noticed for what you do? Who you are? What you have? This scripture talks about wanting from this world, when our wants and desires should come only from the Father. Today’s prayer is that we would prioritize how we operate and only be concerned with how we measure up in God’s eyes, and that is Perfect……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 tentatively, anticipating that GOD 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 loose hands, anticipating that you might have other ideas and ask me to let them go. Help me to keep my eyes fixed on you Jesus. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier.” 2 Timothy 2:3-4 NKJV
Day to day trials come and go, the key is how we react to them! Can you imagine a soldier out in the battlefield saying “ok guys I’m done this is too hard”, I don’t think that will fly in war and it’s no different for us as Christians serving Christ. Today’s prayer is that we would see through the trials to the blood of Christ that covers us and gives us strength and direction for our everyday life …….. 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
“SPENDING TIME alone with GOD is essential for your well-being. It is not a luxury or an option; it is a necessity. Therefore, do not feel guilty about taking time to be with GOD. Remember that Satan is the accuser of believers. Satan delights in heaping guilt feelings upon you, especially when you are enjoying The LORD’S Presence. When you feel Satan’s arrows of accusation, you are probably on the right track. Use your shield of faith to protect yourself from him. Talk with GOD about what you are experiencing, and ask The LORD to show you the way forward. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to GOD, and The LORD will come near to you.”
Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. “For the accuser of our brothers, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down.” REVELATION 12 : 10
In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. EPHESIANS 6 : 16
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 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 : 7 – 8
Prayer: God help me to prioritize spending time alone each day with you. I know this is essential for my well-being and for my soul. When the enemy tries to put lies in my head or divide my family, help me to put on my full armor and fight back with the sword of the Spirit, your word just as Jesus did. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.
“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” Luke 19:10 NIV
Jesus came to save the world not condemn it! Jesus went to the lost to show them the way to eternal life, some followed and some didn’t. Today it has remained the same some follow and some have too much pride to understand they need a savior. Today’s prayer is that we would as believers pray for the lost not condemn them…….Be Blessed

“For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 3:11 NKJV
We all have daily routines and we all have our daily habits, are they based on a foundation of Jesus? Life can become so busy that you can just about forget about everything you love and look back at the end of the day and say wow!!!! Today’s prayer is that our lives would be based on the foundation of Christ! From the time we wake up til the time we go to bed and watch the transformation take place……..Be Blessed

“What is the price of two sparrows—one copper coin? But not a single sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it. And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows.” Matthew 10:29-31 NLT
Do you ever feel unworthy? Ever wonder if you’re good enough? Well you can be assured by man’s standards you will probably never be good enough, but by God almighty’s standard you are perfect. Today’s prayer is that we would live to please God !! Live by God’s example….. 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 RELATE to others through GOD’S Love rather than yours. Your human love is ever so limited, full of flaws and manipulation. GOD’S loving Presence, which always enfolds you, is available to bless others as well as you. Instead of trying harder to help people through your own paltry supplies, become aware of GOD’S unlimited supply, which is accessible to you continually. Let The LORD’S Love envelop your outreach to other people. Many of GOD’S precious children have fallen prey to burnout. A better description of their condition might be “drain-out.” Countless interactions with needy people have drained them, without their conscious awareness. You are among these weary ones, who are like wounded soldiers needing R&R. Take time to rest in the Love-Light of GOD’S Presence. The LORD will gradually restore to you the energy that you have lost over the years. Come to GOD, all you who are weary and burdened, and you will find rest for your souls.”
The LORD replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” EXODUS 33 : 14
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” MATTHEW 11 : 28 – 29
Prayer: Lord help me to make time to rest in the love-light of your presence. Thank you for restoring my energy day by day. May I rely and tap into your strength, love, and power to accomplish all you have in store for me today, for your glory. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces. Psalms 34:5 NLT
Is it hard for you to ask for help? Do you feel like you are weak if you do ask for help? God is waiting with open arms to help us through any situation or struggle, weakness comes from those who are proud, strength comes to those who humble themselves at the foot of the cross. Today I pray that we would all turn to Jesus for the solution, not the world…….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
“THANK GOD FOR YOUR PROBLEMS. As soon as your mind gets snagged on a difficulty, bring it to GOD with thanksgiving. Then ask GOD to show you HIS way to handle the situation. The very act of thanking GOD releases your mind from its negative focus. As you turn your attention to The LORD, the problem fades in significance and loses its power to trip you up. Together you can deal with the situation, either facing it head-on or putting it aside for later consideration. Most of the situations that entangle your mind are not today’s concerns; you have borrowed them from tomorrow. In this case, GOD lifts the problem out of today and deposits it in the future, where it is veiled from your eyes. In its place The LORD gives you HIS Peace, which flows freely from HIS Presence.”
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 6
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” JOHN 14 : 27
Prayer: Lord when my mind gets snagged on a difficulty, remind me to thank you for the opportunity to listen for your direction. Show me how or if you want me to tackle the situation today or leave it for another day. Thank you that I never have to figure things out on my own. You are so good Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
