Matthew‬ ‭11 : 28 – 30‬

“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, 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. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11 : 28 – 30‬ ‭NASB‬‬

Do you just seem to struggle and never get to that place of rest? Maybe it’s because you are trying to do things your own way? Trying to be the fixer and not get fixed! The words of Jesus tell us to come to him!! Are you handing over your troubles? I’m not saying to hand them over and life is going to be full of rainbows and unicorns, there will always be trials and struggles but the way of the world will continue to bring problems! The way of Jesus will bring peace in the middle of the storms. Today’s prayer is that we would be so in tune with God’s Word that we would never be shaken and stand strong on the Word!!!! Hand the problem off to Jesus and take the next trial head on…….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 EVERLASTING ARMS. – DEUTERONOMY 33 : 27, PSALM 27 : 13 – 14

https://youtu.be/II3c8-KN1Q0

“RELAX IN GOD’S EVERLASTING ARMS. Your weakness is an opportunity to grow strong in awareness of GOD’S Almighty Presence. When your energy fails you, do not look inward and lament the lack you find there. Look to The LORD and HIS sufficiency; rejoice in The LORD’S radiant riches that are abundantly available to help you. Go gently through this day, leaning on GOD and enjoying HIS Presence. Thank GOD for your neediness, which is building trust-bonds between you. If you look back on your journey thus far, you can see that days of extreme weakness have been some of your most precious times. Memories of these days are richly interwoven with golden strands of GOD’S intimate Presence.”

The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. He will drive out your enemy before you, saying, “Destroy him!” DEUTERONOMY 33 : 27

I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD. PSALM 27 : 13 – 14

Prayer: Lord when my energy is lacking help me to close my eyes and let you refuel me, even if for just a minute. Thank you for your intimate presence with me at all times. What a blessing. In Jesus’ name. Amen

Matthew‬ ‭6 : 9 – 15

“In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6 : 9 – 15‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

How’s your prayer life? This model prayer is an outline for us to Pray!!! Are you praying for riches? For a new car? Or are you praying for all that is lined out in this prayer? Today’s prayer is that we would all pray like this daily, not this prayer word for word but in this fashion! Cover all and God is a just God and will provide……. Be Blessed

1 John 1 : 5 – 7

This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. 1 John 1 : 5 – 7 NKJV

It is so important as Christians to let our light shine, it is so easy when trials arise to shut the light off and let the dark show and that is exactly what the devil wants. To have true fellowship with The Lord is defined by our actions, remember non believers and some believers are watching what we do under the gun. Today I pray that we all will let our light shine to the glory of God, for he created light and he is light………..Be Blessed

‭‭2 Thessalonians‬ ‭2 : 16 – 17‬ ‭

“Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal comfort and a wonderful hope, comfort you and strengthen you in every good thing you do and say.” ‭‭2 Thessalonians‬ ‭2 : 16 – 17‬ ‭

Are you feeling down, stressed, alone today? There is a great comfort in our Lord Jesus, HE has given us an eternal promise that will never fail. Today’s prayer is that we would rest in the comfort of our savior and realize man will fail us but Jesus never will he is always there for us……..Be Blessed and turn to Jesus

COME TO GOD AND LISTEN! – ISAIAH 50 : 4, ISAIAH 55 : 2 – 3, JOHN 19 : 30, MATTHEW 27 : 50 – 51

https://youtu.be/cQJgf7dWYzk

“COME TO GOD AND LISTEN! Attune yourself to GOD’S voice, and receive HIS richest blessings. Marvel at the wonder of communing with the Creator of the universe while sitting in the comfort of your home. Kings who reign on earth tend to make themselves inaccessible; ordinary people almost never gain an audience with them. Even dignitaries must plow through red tape and protocol in order to speak with royalty. Though GOD is King of the universe, GOD is totally accessible to you. The LORD is with you wherever you are. Nothing can separate you from The LORD’S Presence! When The LORD, JESUS CHRIST cried out from the cross, “It is finished!” The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. This opened the way for you to meet GOD face to Face, with no need of protocol or priests. GOD, the King of kings, is your constant Companion.

Scripture

The Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue, to know the word that sustains the weary. He wakens me morning by morning, wakens my ear to listen like one being taught. ISAIAH 50 : 4

Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of fare. Give ear and come to me; hear me, that your soul may live. I will make an everlasting covenant with you, my faithful love promised to David. ISAIAH 55 : 2 – 3

When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. JOHN 19 : 30

And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook and the rocks split. MATTHEW 27 : 50 – 51

Prayer

Prayer: Jesus, thank you for making it possible to commune with you – the Creator of the universe – anywhere, anytime. Help me not to take that gift for granted and to commune with you often, like a child being taught. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Romans‬ ‭3‬ : ‭23 ‬- ‭24‬

“For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭3‬ : ‭23 ‬- ‭24‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Isn’t it nice to know we serve a forgiving God? Isn’t it nice to know when we fall short (which we all do all day everyday) we are forgiven? The key is are we sinning knowing we are forgiven? Today’s prayer is that we would not use God’s Grace as an insurance policy but repent daily and ask God to fix our areas of shortcomings. We serve an all loving God let’s do our best to be like him in all our efforts ……Be Blessed

POUR ALL OF YOUR ENERGY into trusting GOD. – PSALM 23 : 4, MATTHEW 7 : 1 – 2, PROVERBS 29 : 25

https://youtu.be/SHRzP_o9-w4

“POUR ALL OF YOUR ENERGY into trusting GOD. It is through trust that you stay connected to GOD, aware of HIS Presence. Every step on your life-journey can be a step of faith. Baby steps of trust are simple for you; you can take them with almost unconscious ease. Giant steps are another matter altogether: leaping across chasms in semidarkness, scaling cliffs of uncertainty, trudging through the valley of the shadow of death. These feats require sheer concentration, as well as utter commitment to GOD. Each of The LORD’S children is a unique blend of temperament, giftedness, and life experiences. Something that is a baby step for you may be a giant step for another person, and vice versa. Only GOD knows the difficulty or ease of each segment of your journey. Beware of trying to impress others by acting as if your giant steps are only baby ones. Do not judge others who hesitate, in trembling fear, before an act that would be easy for you. If each of GOD’S children would seek to please GOD above all else, fear of others’ judgments would vanish, as would attempts to impress others. Focus your attention on the path just ahead of you and on The One who never leaves your side.”

Scripture

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. PSALM 23 : 4

“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” MATTHEW 7 : 1 – 2

Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is kept safe. PROVERBS 29 : 25

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me to pour all of my energy into trusting you. Thank you for the gifts, talents and experiences you’ve given me. Help me to use them to serve you and serve others with excellence today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Ephesians 1 : 7

In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, Ephesians 1 : 7

We have eternal redemption through the Blood of Jesus Christ!!!! Circumstances sometimes tell us we’re not worthy, we should be ashamed but when Jesus died on the cross we received a gift, each day confess “I am the righteousness through Christ Jesus” let not your works determine how close you are to The Lord ……Be Blessed

LIVE FIRST AND FOREMOST in GOD’S Presence. – PSALM 89 : 15 – 16, PSALM 16 : 8, 2 PETER 1 : 2

https://youtu.be/_JdelqXpCJY

“LIVE FIRST AND FOREMOST in GOD’S Presence. Gradually you will become more aware of GOD than of people and places around you. This awareness will not detract from your relationships with others. Instead, it will increase your ability to give love and encouragement to them. The LORD’S Peace will permeate your words and demeanor. You will be active in the world, yet one step removed from it. You will not be easily shaken, because GOD’S enveloping Presence buffers the blow of problems. This is the path The LORD has set before you. As you follow it wholeheartedly, you experience abundant Life and Peace.”

Scripture

Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, O LORD. They rejoice in your name all day long; they exult in your righteousness. PSALM 89 : 15 – 16

I have set the LORD always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. PSALM 16 : 8

Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. 2 PETER 1 : 2

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me to live first and foremost in your presence. Increase my ability to give love and encouragement to others. To be in this world but not of it and experience your abundant joy and peace. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
