WAIT QUIETLY IN GOD’S PRESENCE while HIS thoughts form silently in the depths of your being. – 1 KINGS 19 : 12, PSALM 5 : 3

https://youtu.be/AX337uPTlZE

“WAIT QUIETLY IN GOD’S PRESENCE while HIS thoughts form silently in the depths of your being. Do not try to rush this process, because hurry keeps your heart earthbound. GOD is the Creator of the entire universe, yet GOD chooses to make HIS humble home in your heart. It is there where you know THE LORD most intimately; it is there where The LORD speaks to you in holy whispers. Ask GOD’S Holy Spirit to quiet your mind so that you can hear GOD’S still, small voice within you. The LORD is speaking to you continually: words of Life . . . Peace . . . Love. Tune your heart to receive these messages of abundant blessing. Lay your requests before The LORD and wait in expectation.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

And after the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice. 1 KINGS 19 : 12 (NKJV)

In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation. PSALM 5 : 3

Prayer: God help me to wait quietly and patiently in your presence while your thoughts form silently in the depths of my being. Tune my heart to hear all you have for me today. Then help me to put my faith into action and obey. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

2 Corinthians 12:7-9

And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure. Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. (II Corinthians 12:7-9 NKJV)

Do you have a thorn in your side? Or like many a whole rose bush, when trials come upon us it’s then when we go to God in prayer, Paul pleaded with The Lord to remove this from him but instead God was saying were is you faith? Don’t you understand I will deliver you from your problem?. We tend to try to fix all of our problems instead of trusting that God has us in his hand, today rejoice when a problem comes your way, because The Lord’s promise is he will handle it!!!! His grace will always be sufficient ………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 ‭91‬:‭2

This I declare about the LORD: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him. (‭Psalms‬ ‭91‬:‭2‬ NLT)

Where is your trust? Who or what do you trust in? The world will leave you hopeless, But with God all things are possible. Today’s prayer is that your trust and refuge is found in the Lord, not in temporary things of this world………Be Blessed

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have have passed away; behold, all things have become new 2 Corinthians 5:17

SEEK TO PLEASE GOD above all else. – MATTHEW 6 : 33, JOHN 8 : 29, COLOSSIANS 3 : 23 – 24

https://youtu.be/rGJf7LIR5EU

“SEEK TO PLEASE GOD above all else. Let that goal be your focal point as you go through this day. Such a mind-set will protect you from scattering your energy to the winds. The free will GOD bestowed on you comes with awesome responsibility. Each day presents you with choice after choice. Many of these decisions you ignore and thus make by default. Without a focal point to guide you, you can easily lose your way. That’s why it is so important to stay in communication with GOD, living in thankful awareness of HIS Presence. You inhabit a fallen, disjointed world, where things are constantly unraveling around the edges. Only a vibrant relationship with GOD can keep you from coming unraveled too.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” MATTHEW 6 : 33

“The one who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what pleases him.” JOHN 8 : 29

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. COLOSSIANS 3 : 23 – 24

Prayer: Lord I want to seek to please you above all else. Protect me from scattering my energy to the wind. Help me to do everything as if working for you. To be a spouse of excellence, a parent of excellence, and a friend of excellence with your help. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Titus‬ ‭3:1-5‬

“Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work, to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men. For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another. But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,” ‭‭Titus‬ ‭3:1-5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

I see so much hate on social media from believers and non believers!!! The fact is we all have our opinions but should never get tangled up in that hate web that is spun to catch all the hate of the world. Today’s prayer is that we as believers would have humility towards all the things we see and not get right in the middle of it!!!!! Let Go, Let God……Be Blessed

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new

YOU WILL NOT FIND GOD’S PEACE by engaging in excessive planning – 1 PETER 5 : 6 – 7, PROVERBS 16 : 9, PSALM 37 : 5

https://youtu.be/xjREA0vfPWA

“YOU WILL NOT FIND GOD’S PEACE by engaging in excessive planning: attempting to control what will happen to you in the future. That is a commonly practiced form of unbelief. When your mind spins with multiple plans, Peace may sometimes seem to be within your grasp; yet it always eludes you. Just when you think you have prepared for all possibilities, something unexpected pops up and throws things into confusion. GOD did not design the human mind to figure out the future. That is beyond your capability. GOD crafted your mind for continual communication with HIM. Bring GOD all your needs, your hopes and fears. Commit everything into GOD’S care. Turn from the path of planning to the path of Peace.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 PETER 5 : 6 – 7

In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps. PROVERBS 16 : 9

Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass. PSALM 37 : 5 (NKJV)

Prayer: Lord I bring you all my needs, my hopes, and my fears. I lay them at your feet. Help me not to hold onto anything tighter than I hold onto you. I can always count on your plans for they are always for my good. And when I don’t understand and life is hard, I trust you are weaving a grand story together, using everything for my good and the good of others. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Matthew‬ ‭6:27

“Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?”
Matthew‬ ‭6:27‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Do you worry about everything? Have you ever noticed by worrying that nothing changes? Trusting in a circumstance leads to misery, trusting in God leads to total peace. Today’s prayer is that when difficult circumstances arise we would hand it over to God and eliminate worry and trust in God……..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 DESIGNED YOU to live in union with HIM. – MARK 8 : 36, PSALM 139 : 13 – 16, 2 CORINTHIANS 3 : 17 – 18

https://youtu.be/y_agvgLTXII

“GOD DESIGNED YOU to live in union with HIM. This union does not negate who you are; it actually makes you more fully yourself. When you try to live independently of GOD, you experience emptiness and dissatisfaction. You may gain the whole world and yet lose everything that really counts. Find fulfillment through living close to The LORD, yielding to HIS purposes for you. Though GOD may lead you along paths that feel alien to you, trust that The LORD knows what HE is doing. If you follow GOD wholeheartedly, you will discover facets of yourself that were previously hidden. The LORD knows you intimately —far better than you know yourself. In union with GOD, you are complete. In closeness to GOD, you are transformed more and more into the one HE designed you to be.” paraphrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

“What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?” MARK 8 : 36

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. PSALM 139 : 13 – 16

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. 2 CORINTHIANS 3 : 17 – 18

Prayer: Lord help me to find fulfillment through living close to you, and yielding to your purposes for my life. When I do, I’m more successful, more peaceful, more joyful, and more fully myself. Thank you for the beautiful union Jesus made possible through the cross. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

Hebrews‬ ‭13:2-3‬

“Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for some who have done this have entertained angels without realizing it! Remember those in prison, as if you were there yourself. Remember also those being mistreated, as if you felt their pain in your own bodies.” Hebrews‬ ‭13:2-3‬
‭‭‭
It’s so easy to get caught up in the rat race of life that we overlook the God moments that he sets in front of our faces daily. It’s so easy to judge those on the streets and say ” they just want to go buy a drink” but is that for us to judge? What if God passed that same judgement on us? God loved us at our lowest moments in life! Don’t you think we should do the same? Today’s prayer is that we would slow down and show the same love that God showed us, take every opportunity to witness the love of Jesus, preach to someone, not at them……..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 GOD’S CHILD, REST IN THE LORD. – JOHN 15 : 13, ZEPHANIAH 3 : 17, NUMBERS 6 : 25 – 26

https://youtu.be/aWLHMnmZSyI

“YOU ARE GOD’S CHILD, REST IN THE LORD. This time devoted to GOD is meant to be peaceful, not stressful. You don’t have to perform in order to receive GOD’S Love. GOD has boundless, unconditional Love for you. How it grieves The LORD to see HIS children working for Love: trying harder and harder, yet never feeling good enough to be loved. Be careful that your devotion to GOD does not become another form of works. GOD wants you to come into HIS Presence joyfully and confidently. You have nothing to fear, for you wear The LORD’S own righteousness. Gaze into The LORD’S eyes, and you will see no condemnation, only Love and delight in the one HE sees. Be blessed as GOD’S Face shines radiantly upon you, giving you Peace. para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. JOHN 15 : 13

“The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.” ZEPHANIAH 3 : 17

“The LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace.” NUMBERS 6 : 25 – 26

Prayer: Lord help me to rest in you. May your face shine radiantly upon me, giving me peace. Thank you for your boundless unconditional love. Teach me to love more like you. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.
