“Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” Psalm 90:12 NIV
We all have a day that we will meet the Lord, are you living life with a “just get by” attitude or are you living life to the fullest for God? Today’s prayer is that we would approach every day with thanks and with a heart to serve the Lord with all our heart……..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
“GOD IS ALL AROUND YOU, like a cocoon of Light. GOD’S Presence with you is a promise, independent of your awareness of GOD. Many things can block this awareness, but the major culprit is worry. The LORD’s children tend to accept worry as an inescapable fact of life. However, worry is a form of unbelief; it is a curse to Me. Who is in charge of your life? If it is you, then you have good reason to worry. But if it is GOD, then worry is both unnecessary and counterproductive. When you start to feel anxious about something, relinquish the situation to GOD. Back off a bit, redirecting your focus to The LORD. GOD will either take care of the problem Himself or show you how to handle it. In this world you will have problems, but you need not lose sight of GOD.”
Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! 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? “Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith! And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.” LUKE 12 : 22 – 31
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” JOHN 16 : 33
Prayer: Lord thank you for surrounding me with your light and love. Help me to remember when I get anxious or worry to step back and hand the situation to you. You want me to give you my problems and in return you give me peace and joy. What a good Father you are. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.
“He must become greater; I must become less.”” John 3:30 NIV
This has always been one of my favorite scriptures, it’s very simple ” put God first in everything”. In the world today we live in a “Me” mentality and I believe that is the cause of the epic failure we see in society. Today’s prayer is simple: put God first in everything you do and he will always be Greater……..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’S FACE, and you will find fulfillment of your deepest longings. GOD’S world is filled with beautiful things; they are meant to be pointers to HIM, reminders of HIS abiding Presence. The earth still declares GOD’S Glory to those who have eyes that see and ears that hear. You had a darkened mind before you sought The LORD wholeheartedly. GOD’S chose to pour HIS Light into you, so that you can be a beacon to others. There is no room for pride in this position. Your part is to reflect GOD’S Glory. GOD is the Lord!”
Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always. PSALM 105 : 4
The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. PSALM 19 : 1 – 2
See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the LORD rises upon you and his glory appears over you. ISAIAH 60 : 2
Prayer: Lord, I seek your face today and find fulfillment for my deepest longings. Open my eyes to see the beauty of your world – sunrises, the moon and stars, and each animal I see and hear as pointers to you and your abiding presence. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”” Exodus 14:14 NIV
Are you trying to handle all your problems by yourself? Are you seeing the same results? Well we have the Holy Spirit as our internal guide to direct and guide us in all situations. Some of the battles are not in the natural but in the spirit realm, and those are the ones we really need to seek out the spirit. Today’s prayer is that we would humble ourselves and trust in God to help us through the battles, he is always there for his faithful children…….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
“REMEMBER THAT YOU LIVE IN a fallen world: an abnormal world tainted by sin. Much frustration and failure result from your seeking perfection in this life. There is nothing perfect in this world except GOD. That is why closeness to GOD satisfies deep yearnings and fills you with Joy. GOD has planted longing for perfection in every human heart. This is a good desire, which Christ, The LORD alone can fulfill. But most people seek this fulfillment in other people and earthly pleasures or achievements. Thus they create idols, before which they bow down. GOD will have no other gods before HIM. Make The LORD the deepest desire of your heart. Let Christ, The LORD fulfill your yearning for perfection. “
“You shall have no other gods before me.” EXODUS 20 : 3
Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. PSALM 37 : 4
Prayer: God only you can fill the deep yearning in my soul. When I have trouble in this life, help me to remember I live between two gardens, Eden and Heaven. One day, I will be in my perfect body with you for eternity. Thank you Jesus for making it possible. Amen.
“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.” 2 Timothy 4:7-8 NIV
All that we do in life should be unto the Lord and not to ourselves. I believe that God wants us to life a joyful and prosperous life, but giving all the glory to him. Today’s prayer is that we would all do everything unto the Lord so he receives all the glory and we receive the crowns……..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
“So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.” 1 John 4:16 ESV
What the world is missing is “True Love” and what is the meaning of true love? True love is the love that God displayed for us by sending his son to the cross for all of our sin. True love is to have the heart of a servant, to put others before yourself, to be kind in all circumstances. Today’s prayer is that we all would set aside all of the hustle of the world and slow down enough to recognize what love is and show it to all……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
““My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord. “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.” Isaiah 55:8 NLT
Discouraged? Trying to fix something in your life? Failing? All of us get that way but take heart we serve a Lord of all Things!!!! I believe things happen for a reason and things happen in a timely manner. Today’s prayer is we would wait on the Lord in all we do! Pray in all things ! Ask for guidance and wisdom from the Holy Spirit……..Be Blessed and Be Patient
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. Be still, while GOD transforms your heart and mind. Let go of cares and worries, so that you can receive GOD’S Peace. Cease striving, and know that Christ, The LORD is God. Do not be like Pharisees who multiplied regulations, creating their own form of “godliness.” They got so wrapped up in their own rules that they lost sight of The LORD. Even today, man-made rules about how to live the Christian life enslave many people. Their focus is on their performance, rather than on GOD. It is through knowing The LORD intimately that you become like HIM. This requires spending time alone with GOD. Let go, relax, be still, and know that The LORD is God.”
I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! PSALM 46 : 10 (NKJV)
Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. 1 JOHN 3 : 2
Prayer: Lord, I want to know you intimately. Help me to spend time in your word and be still in your presence while you transform my heart and mind. Align my heart’s desires with yours. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
