“Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.” Colossians 3:13 NLT
Do you forgive easily ? Or do you forgive in your own time? Jesus forgave all so is it not our place to forgive ? Today’s prayer is that we would have a forgiving heart to all that have wronged us and strive daily to be more like Jesus…..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
Such things were written in the Scriptures long ago to teach us. And the Scriptures give us hope and encouragement as we wait patiently for God’s promises to be fulfilled. Romans 15:4 NLT
What are you waiting for? What are you hoping for? This scripture tells us that the Bible is to teach us and give us hope in God’s promise. The world today is a condition that the Bible tells us it would be, a MESS!!!! Today’s prayer is that we would stand on God’s promise that as believers all this is temporary and our eternal hope as believers is forever…….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 when you are weak and weary. Rest snugly in GOD’S everlasting arms. GOD does not despise your weakness, You are HIS child. Actually, it draws The LORD closer to you, because weakness stirs up HIS compassion—HIS yearning to help. Accept yourself in your weariness, knowing that GOD understands how difficult your journey has been. Do not compare yourself with others, who seem to skip along their life-paths with ease. Their journeys have been different from yours, and GOD has gifted them with abundant energy. The LORD has gifted you with fragility, providing opportunities for your spirit to blossom in GOD’S Presence. Accept this gift as a sacred treasure: delicate, yet glowing with brilliant Light. Rather than struggling to disguise or deny your weakness, allow GOD to bless you richly through it.”
A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out. In faithfulness he will bring forth justice. ISAIAH 42 : 3
“Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the LORD, who has compassion on you. ISAIAH 54 : 10
In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. ROMANS 8 : 26
Prayer: Lord remind me to come to you when I am weak and weary to rest snugly in your everlasting arms. Thank you for my weaknesses, they remind me how much I need you. When I am weak, you are strong. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent. Luke 15:4-7 NIV
Are you praying for a family member, friend, co-worker ? God hears your prayer and that one person is as important to the Lord as any other soul. The parable of the lost sheep reveals to us just how important every soul on earth is to our Father in Heaven. Today I boldly pray that God would grace us with the strength to overcome the adversity of the things of this world and boldly witness the joy that comes from making Jesus your Lord and Savior……..
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. Come to GOD. Come to GOD. This is GOD’S continual invitation to you, proclaimed in holy whispers. When your heart and mind are quiet, you can hear GOD inviting you to draw near. Coming close to The LORD requires no great effort on your part; it is more like ceasing to resist the magnetic pull of HIS Love. Open yourself to GOD’S loving Presence, so that THE LORD may fill you with HIS fullness. GOD wants you to experience how wide and long and high and deep is HIS Love for you, so that you can know GOD’S Love that surpasses knowledge. This vast ocean of Love cannot be measured or explained, but it can be experienced.”
The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life. REVELATION 22 : 17
All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. JOHN 6 : 37
I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. EPHESIANS 3 : 16 – 19
Prayer: Lord thank you for your continual invitation to come to you, the safest place we can be. Thank you for your amazing grace and unending love. Quiet my heart and mind so I can hear only you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.” And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, “Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?” She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.”” John 8:7-11 NKJV
A lot of Christians say God loves me just as I am and this is true, but he does not love our sin and wants us to change. Today’s prayer is that we would let God shape our lives without sin so that we can live a life that is pleasing to him in all areas……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
“RELAX IN GOD’S HEALING, holy Presence. Allow GOD to transform you through this time alone with HIM. As your thoughts center more and more on GOD, trust displaces fear and worry. Your mind is somewhat like a seesaw. As your trust in The LORD goes up, fear and worry automatically go down. Time spent with GOD not only increases your trust; it also helps you discern what is important and what is not. Energy and time are precious, limited entities. Therefore, you need to use them wisely, focusing on what is truly important. As you walk close to GOD, saturating your mind with Scripture, GOD will show you how to spend your time and energy. The LORD’S Word is a lamp to your feet; The LORD’S Presence is a Light for your path.”
See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. EPHESIANS 5 : 15 – 16 (NKJV)
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path. PSALM 119 : 105
Prayer: Lord help me to saturate my mind with scripture everyday. I need you everyday to transform my thoughts, my words, and my actions. You are my daily bread. My bread of life. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Ephesians 3:19 NLT
Sometimes we let the circumstances defeat us, we feel like the whole world is against us!!!! Take heart and know the God who loves us and saved us from eternal hell. God’s plans for us are to prosper and excel, not live defeated in a broken world…..today I pray that all would understand the love that God has for each and every one of us, he is always with us to see us through the trials……..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
“WEAR CHRIST THE LORD’S ROBE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS with ease. The LORD JESUS CHRIST custom-made it for you, to cover you from head to toe. The price JESUS CHRIST paid for this covering was astronomical— HIS own blood. You could never purchase such a royal garment, no matter how hard you worked. Sometimes you forget that The LORD’S righteousness is a gift, and you feel ill at ease in your regal robe. The LORD weeps when HE sees you squirming under the velvety fabric, as if it were made of scratchy sackcloth. The LORD wants you to trust HIM enough to realize your privileged position in GOD’S kingdom. Relax in the luxuriant folds of your magnificent robe. Keep your eyes on The LORD, as you practice walking in this garment of righteousness. When your behavior is unfitting for one in GOD’S kingdom, do not try to throw off your royal robe. Instead, throw off the unrighteous behavior. Then you will be able to feel at ease in this glorious garment, enjoying the gift CHRIST THE LORD fashioned for you before the foundation of the world.
I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. ISAIAH 61 : 10
God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 21
You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. EPHESIANS 4 : 22 – 24
Prayer: Sweet Jesus, thank you that because of your great sacrifice, when God looks at me, he sees righteousness. Not because of anything I’ve done, but because of Jesus. And when God looks at others who have accepted Him as their Lord and Savior, he sees righteousness. Help me to see the same. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“Those who guard their lips preserve their lives, but those who speak rashly will come to ruin.” Proverbs 13:3 NIV
Careful what you say!!!! Speaking negative is speaking death into the situation, speaking positive is to speak life into the situation. It is so easy to get caught up into gossip and that is complete death!!! Think about how good you feel when you have a conversation about your faith, well there’s the answer. Today’s prayer is that in the midst of a situation to speak death leave, or speak positive…….Be Blessed
