“I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done. I will be filled with joy because of you. I will sing praises to your name, O Most High.” Psalms 9:1-2 NLT
Day to day life makes it easy to complain sometimes, the world can be so disappointing!!! When we continually praise and thank God for all he has done , is doing, and will do, life’s little challenges seem so trivial. Today I pray we all would praise and thank God in all things good and bad and watch the joy flow into your presence…..Be Blessed

“When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers— the moon and the stars you set in place— what are mere mortals that you should think about them, human beings that you should care for them? Yet you made them only a little lower than God and crowned them with glory and honor.” Psalms 8:3-5 NLT
Wow! And we have the Audacity as Christians to question if we are loved!! We serve a God that loves us more than anyone or thing on earth! This Psalm says he made us a little lower than God? Wow! Today’s prayer is that when we question if we are loved or mean anything, revert to this Psalm and just bask in the love of a God who unconditionally loves you…..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
“LIVING IN DEPENDENCE ON GOD is a glorious adventure. Most people scurry around busily, trying to accomplish things through their own strength and ability. Some succeed enormously; others fail miserably. But both groups miss what life is meant to be: living and working in collaboration with GOD. When you depend on GOD continually, your whole perspective changes. You see miracles happening all around, while others see only natural occurrences and “coincidences.” You begin each day with joyful expectation, watching to see what GOD will do. You accept weakness as a gift from The LORD, knowing that HIS Power plugs in most readily to consecrated weakness. You keep your plans tentative, knowing that GOD’S plans are far superior. You consciously live, move, and have your being in The LORD, desiring that The LORD lives in you. GOD in you, and you in GOD. This is the intimate adventure The LORD offers you.”
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 CORINTHIANS 12 : 9 – 10
“‘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
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
On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. JOHN 14 : 20
Prayer: Lord help me to live and work in collaboration with you. I want to depend on you continually and not miss a single miracle you are doing. I begin today with joyful expectation, watching to see what you will do. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“The wicked conceive evil; they are pregnant with trouble and give birth to lies. They dig a deep pit to trap others, then fall into it themselves. The trouble they make for others backfires on them. The violence they plan falls on their own heads.” Psalms 7:14-16 NLT
Do you know people that are just plain mean? Can’t give a complement? Are just down right ornery? Well I do!!!! Today’s prayer is that we would Pray for them not pray against them! God is the judge not us and remember he will fight our battles…….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 with your whole being. GOD desires to be found by you, and GOD orchestrates the events of your life with that purpose in mind. When things go well and you are blessed, you can feel The LORD smiling on you. When you encounter rough patches along your life-journey, trust that GOD’S Light is still shining upon you. The LORD’S reasons for allowing these adversities may be shrouded in mystery, but HIS continual Presence with you is an absolute promise. Seek GOD in good times; seek GOD in hard times. You will find GOD watching over you all the time.”
But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul. DEUTERONOMY 4 : 29
Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. HEBREWS 10 : 23
The LORD watches over all who love him, but all the wicked he will destroy. PSALM 145 : 20
Prayer: Lord, thank you for your promise to always be with me in good times and tough times; and for guiding me in the path of light. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“Have compassion on me, Lord, for I am weak. Heal me, Lord, for my bones are in agony. I am sick at heart. How long, O Lord, until you restore me?” Psalms 6:2-3 NLT
Restoration is a daily work for us all in the flesh!!! In our spirits we are perfected by the blood of Christ!!! Today’s prayer is to embrace our failures and know that we are being restored daily in the flesh!!! God sees us through the blood of Christ who has Atoned for our past, present and future sins! But remember that is not a license to sin!!!! Be Blessed all
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
“GROW STRONG IN YOUR WEAKNESS. Some of GOD’S children HE has gifted with abundant strength and stamina. Others, like you, have received the humble gift of frailty. Your fragility is not a punishment, nor does it indicate lack of faith. On the contrary, weak ones like you must live by faith, depending on GOD to get you through the day. The LORD is developing your ability to trust HIM, to lean on HIM, rather than on your understanding. Your natural preference is to plan out your day, knowing what will happen when. GOD’S preference is for you to depend on HIM continually, trusting GOD to guide you and strengthen you as needed. This is how you grow strong in your weakness.”
Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.” JAMES 4 : 13 – 15
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. PROVERBS 3 : 5
Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. ISAIAH 40 : 28 – 31
Prayer: Lord, help me to depend on you continually, trusting you to guide me and strengthen me with the exact portion I need for today. You know what’s up ahead, and that’s enough for me. I trust you with my life, Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“Because of your unfailing love, I can enter your house; I will worship at your Temple with deepest awe.” Psalms 5:7 NLT
Unconditional love is such a beautiful thing no matter how bad we miss the mark we are always welcomed into God’s presence!!! Today’s prayer is we would all shed the condemnation and understand there is no love like our Lord’s!!! Embrace and pray to be better…….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
“THERE IS NO PLACE so desolate that you cannot find GOD there. When Hagar fled from her mistress, Sarah, into the wilderness, she thought she was utterly alone and forsaken. But Hagar encountered GOD in that desolate place. There she addressed GOD as the “Living One who sees me”. Through that encounter with GOD’S Presence, she gained courage to return to her mistress. No set of circumstances could ever isolate you from The LORD’S loving Presence. Not only does The LORD see you always; HE sees you as a redeemed saint, gloriously radiant in HIS righteousness. That is why GOD takes great delight in you and rejoices over you with singing!”
The angel of the LORD found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, the spring on the way to Shur. And he said, Hagar, servant of Sarai, where have you come from and where are you going? She said, I am fleeing from my mistress Sarai. The angel of the LORD said to her, Return to your mistress and submit to her. The angel of the LORD also said to her, I will surely multiply your offspring so that they cannot be numbered for multitude. And the angel of the LORD said to her, Behold, you are pregnant and shall bear a son. You shall call his name Ishmael, because the LORD has listened to your affliction. He shall be a wild donkey of a man, his hand against everyone and everyone’s hand against him, and he shall dwell over against all his kinsmen. So she called the name of the LORD who spoke to her, You are a God of seeing, for she said, Truly here I have seen him who looks after me. Therefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi; it lies between Kadesh and Bered. GENESIS 16 : 7 – 14
Prayer: God it is amazing you when you look at me, you don’t see my mistakes, my shortcomings, you see a redeemed child, clothed in righteousness because of Jesus. Thank you sweet Jesus. In your name I pray. Amen.
Word of the day “Don’t sin by letting anger control you. Think about it overnight and remain silent. Psalms 4:4 NLT
