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

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

‭‭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

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

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

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

WHEN SOMETHING IN YOUR LIFE OR THOUGHTS makes you anxious, come to GOD and talk about it. – PHILIPPIANS 4 : 6, ISAIAH 26 : 3

https://youtu.be/nJfQzsqZZ38

“WHEN SOMETHING IN YOUR LIFE OR THOUGHTS makes you anxious, come to GOD and talk about it. Bring GOD your prayer and petition with thanksgiving, saying: “Thank You, Jesus, for this opportunity to trust You more.” Though the lessons of trust that The LORD sends to you come wrapped in difficulties, the benefits far outweigh the cost. Well-developed trust will bring you many blessings, not the least of which is GOD’S Peace. The LORD has promised to keep you in perfect Peace to the extent that you trust in HIM. The world has it backwards, teaching that peace is the result of having enough money, possessions, insurance, and security systems. GOD’S Peace, however, is such an all-encompassing gift that it is independent of all circumstances. Though you lose everything else, if you gain The LORD’S Peace you are rich indeed.”

Scripture

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 6 (NKJV)

You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you. ISAIAH 26 : 3

Prayer

Prayer: Though the road in life is bumpy and sometimes filled with heartache, thank you Jesus that your peace is independent of all circumstances. And to the extent that I place my trust in You, you promise to keep me in perfect peace. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

‭‭Luke‬ ‭22:42‬

“saying, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.”” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭22:42‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Ever wonder why some troubles just don’t go away? Maybe it’s not God’s will! Some of the things we see as struggles may be there to make us stronger! Today’s prayer is that we would be like Jesus in our asking if it’s God’s will……..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

YOU ARE ON THE RIGHT PATH. – Psalm 119 : 105, John 21 : 22

https://youtu.be/Y-kVJoAQMDg

“YOU ARE ON THE RIGHT PATH. Listen more to GOD and less to your doubts. GOD is leading you along the way HE designed just for you. Therefore, it is a lonely way, humanly speaking. But The LORD goes before you as well as alongside you, so you are never alone. Do not expect anyone to fully understand GOD’S ways with you, anymore than you can comprehend GOD’S dealings with others. The LORD is revealing to you the path of Life day by day, and moment by moment. As JESUS CHRIST, The LORD said to HIS disciple Peter, so GOD repeats to you: Follow HIM.

Scripture

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path. – Psalm 119 : 105

Jesus answered, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me.” – John 21 : 22

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, help me to listen more to you and less to my fears and doubts. Thank you for going before me and paving a unique path before I was even born. Help me to trust you and be obedient as you reveal each next step, one at a time, and then the next, and then the next. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
