LET GOD HELP YOU through this day. – PSALM 63 : 7 – 8, JAMES 1 : 2 – 3

https://youtu.be/Z0YoUdJueSY

“LET GOD HELP YOU through this day. The challenges you face are far too great for you to handle alone. You are keenly aware of your helplessness in the scheme of events you face. This awareness opens up a choice: to doggedly go it alone or to walk with GOD in humble steps of dependence. Actually, this choice is continually before you, but difficulties highlight the decision-making process. So, consider it all joy whenever you are enveloped in various trials. These are gifts from GOD, reminding you to rely on GOD alone.”

Scripture

Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings. My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me. PSALM 63 : 7 – 8

Consider it wholly joyful, my brethren, whenever you are enveloped in or encounter trials of any sort or fall into various temptations. Be assured and understand that the trial and proving of your faith bring out endurance and steadfastness and patience. JAMES 1 : 2 – 3 (AMP)

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me thrive today by relying on you. You are my constant help in times of trouble and my joy despite any circumstance. Your mercy and grace chase after me all the days of my life. Thank you Jesus. Amen.

Proverbs‬ ‭15‬:‭16‬

Better to have little, with fear for the LORD, than to have great treasure and inner turmoil. Proverbs‬ ‭15‬:‭16‬ NLT

A person is defined by what they have in life, where they live, where they work, and what their annual income is, but Solomon says it is better to have fear of The Lord than great treasure. To have fear for The Lord is to know he is almighty, to fear turning from him or to displease him with our actions as believers. Our goal as Christians should be to fear living against God’s word. Today I pray we would have an all new fear in living against God’s word, and live up to his word with all we have…….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

CONTINUE ON THIS PATH WITH GOD, enjoying HIS Presence even in adversity. – HEBREWS 7 : 25, PSALM 37 : 3 – 4

https://youtu.be/vUK94mkb7to

“CONTINUE ON THIS PATH WITH GOD, enjoying HIS Presence even in adversity. GOD is always before you, as well as alongside you. See The LORD beckoning to you: “Come! Follow Me”. GOD, The One who goes ahead of you, opening up the way, is the same One who stays close and never lets go of your hand. GOD is not subject to limitations of time or space. GOD is everywhere at every time, ceaselessly working on your behalf. That is why your best efforts are trusting GOD and living close to HIM.”

Scripture

Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them. HEBREWS 7 : 25

Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. PSALM 37 : 3 – 4

Prayer

Prayer: Lord you are so good to me. Thank you for going ahead of me, making a path and staying close to me at all times. With you by my side there is nothing I am lacking and nothing I need to worry about or fear. Help me to be focused on you today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭4‬

For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives. ‭Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭4‬ NLT

Are you struggling with your daily walk with Jesus ? You know what type of life you are called to live but it seems that you can’t do it? Check your surroundings and the company you keep. Paul says we died with Christ and were raised with him in a new life, that means NEW not the same as it was. The devil wants to continue to remind you of your past, but Jesus only wants you to think of the now and future. Today I pray that we all would give our surroundings a self check and let the spirit of The Lord guide us…….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

MAKE FRIENDS WITH THE PROBLEMS IN YOUR LIFE. – ROMANS 8 : 28, 1 CORINTHIANS 1 : 23 – 24

https://youtu.be/ua3L9zTH-j8

MAKE FRIENDS WITH THE PROBLEMS IN YOUR LIFE. Though many things feel random and wrong, remember that GOD is sovereign over everything. GOD can fit everything into a pattern for good, but only to the extent that you trust HIM. Every problem can teach you something, transforming you little by little into the masterpiece The LORD created you to be. The very same problem can become a stumbling block over which you fall, if you react with distrust and defiance. The choice is up to you, and you will have to choose many times each day whether to trust The LORD or defy HIM. The best way to befriend your problems is to thank GOD for them. This simple act opens your mind to the possibility of benefits flowing from your difficulties. You can even give persistent problems nicknames, helping you to approach them with familiarity rather than with dread. The next step is to introduce them to GOD, enabling The LORD to embrace them in HIS loving Presence. GOD will not necessarily remove your problems, but HIS wisdom is sufficient to bring good out of every one of them.”

Scripture

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. ROMANS 8 : 28

But we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 1 CORINTHIANS 1 : 23 – 24

Prayer

Prayer: Heavenly Father help me to wait expectantly for you to bring good out of every problem. I know if you allowed it to happen there is a reason, and there will eventually be a benefit flowing from every difficulty. Thank you for your goodness Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

John‬ ‭17‬:‭20-21‬

“I am praying not only for these disciples but also for all who will ever believe in me through their message. I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one—as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me. John‬ ‭17‬:‭20-21‬ NLT

As Jesus was in the garden praying, knowing that his time had come, not only was he praying for his believers, but also the whole world. As Jesus hung on the cross he prayed forgiveness to those who put him there, WOW !!!! Oh to have that kind of forgiveness in our hearts. Today I pray that we all would pray for the world (believers and non believers) and have the same forgiveness that Jesus showed for all……..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

REFUSE TO WORRY! In this world there will always be something enticing you to worry. – LUKE 12 : 25 – 26, 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 16 – 18

https://youtu.be/VDjaWp3SO3o

“REFUSE TO WORRY! In this world there will always be something enticing you to worry. That is the nature of a fallen, fractured planet: Things are not as they should be. So the temptation to be anxious is constantly with you, trying to worm its way into your mind. The best defense is continual communication with GOD, richly seasoned with thanksgiving. Awareness of GOD’S Presence fills your mind with Light and Peace, leaving no room for fear. This awareness lifts you up above your circumstances, enabling you to see problems from GOD’S perspective. Live close to GOD! Together you can keep the wolves of worry at bay.”

Scripture

“Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?” LUKE 12 : 25 – 26

Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 16 – 18

Prayer

Prayer: God, when worry tries to work its way into my mind, gently remind me your word says “do not worry” 365 times. Once for every day of the year. Help me to stay in continual awareness of your presence with me. Fill me with your light and peace. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

Philippians‬ ‭2‬:‭5-11

You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross. Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians‬ ‭2‬:‭5-11‬ NLT

What kind of attitude did Jesus have? The scripture says he laid aside his Devine nature and humbled himself as a man. Can you imagine the frustration Jesus had to feel being rejected and mocked through his whole ministry. Today I pray that all would have the same mind as Christ , knowing that when we are not treated right or go through trials that Jesus is right there with us saying ” I know what rejection feels like and I have you in my arms”……..Be Blessed

‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭1:24-25

“For, “All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord endures forever.” And this is the word that was preached to you.” ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭1:24-25‬ ‭NIV‬‬

This is TRUTH!!!! Sometimes we value more of how we are perceived than who we really are. We are children of the most high God, the true living God and his opinion of us is perfection. Today’s prayer is that we would realize only God’s opinion matters his promise is to never leave or forsake us……..Be Blessed

Psalms‬ ‭84:11

“For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold From those who walk uprightly.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭84:11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

God wants nothing but good for his children, but we do have to do our part. To live a life that is not pleasing to God will produce results that are not results of God’s blessings but results of worldly measures. Today’s prayer is that we would live our lives in line with God’s word, live an upright and blameless life, live a humble life……Be Blessed
