No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:39 NLT
Do you ever feel like you’re just not loved? Like you’re all alone in the world? Well you’re not! At all times you have the love of God with you. Today’s prayer is that when we feel down that we look to the cross and the never ending love that was displayed on it…..Be Blessed

Today I pray that we would all use this scripture as a foundation to live our lives by…….Be Blessed

“COME TO GOD FOR UNDERSTANDING, since GOD knows you far better than you know yourself. GOD comprehends you in all your complexity; no detail of your life is hidden from HIM. The LORD views you through eyes of grace, so don’t be afraid of HIS intimate awareness. Allow the Light of GOD’S healing Presence to shine into the deepest recesses of your being—cleansing, healing, refreshing, and renewing you. Trust The LORD enough to accept the full forgiveness that HE offers you continually. This great gift, which cost CHRIST The LORD, HIS Life, is yours for all eternity. Forgiveness is at the very core of GOD’S abiding Presence. The LORD will never leave you or forsake you. When no one else seems to understand you, simply draw closer to GOD. Rejoice in GOD the One who understands you completely and loves you perfectly. As The LORD fills you with HIS Love, you become a reservoir of love, overflowing into the lives of other people.”
O LORD, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD. PSALM 139 : 1 – 4
Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come. 2 CORINTHIANS 1 : 21 – 22
No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. JOSHUA 1 : 5
Prayer: Lord thank you for viewing me through eyes of grace and for knowing me so deeply and intimately. Even better than I know myself. Teach me to love like you love. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Every test that you have experienced is the kind that normally comes to people. But God keeps his promise, and he will not allow you to be tested beyond your power to remain firm; at the time you are put to the test, he will give you the strength to endure it, and so provide you with a way out. 1 Corinthians 10:13 GNT
Do you ever feel like ” how am I going to make it through this day, circumstance,” Paul speaks about God’s faithfulness to never give us more than we can handle, and always giving us a way out. Today I pray that we would trust in God through the tough times and know that he is always faithful to his word……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
“IT IS GOOD THAT YOU RECOGNIZE YOUR WEAKNESS. That keeps you looking to GOD, your Strength. Abundant life is not necessarily health and wealth; it is living in continual dependence on GOD. Instead of trying to fit this day into a preconceived mold, relax and be on the lookout for what I am doing. This mind-set will free you to enjoy The LORD and to find what HE has planned for you to do. This is far better than trying to make things go according to your own plan. Don’t take yourself so seriously. Lighten up and laugh with GOD. You have The LORD on your side, so what are you worried about? GOD can equip you to do absolutely anything, as long as it is HIS will. The more difficult your day, the more GOD yearns to help you. Anxiety wraps you up in yourself, trapping you in your own thoughts. When you look to GOD and whisper HIS Name, you break free and receive GOD’S help. Focus on The LORD, and you will find Peace in HIS Presence.”
I can do all things through him who strengthens me. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 13
A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. PROVERBS 17 : 22
Prayer: God thank you for reminding me not to take myself so seriously. To enjoy the blessings you’ve given me, including your peace and your presence with me always. Thank you Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.” Galatians 5:13 NIV
Grace is not a license to sin, it’s a reason to be thankful and obedient to the Lord. Freedom and love was given to us at Calvary and because of this how can we abuse the Lord’s grace. Today’s prayer is that we would see grace for what it truly is LOVE…….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
“LISTEN TO THE LOVE SONG that GOD is continually singing to you. GOD takes great delight in you . . . GOD rejoices over you with singing. The voices of the world are a cacophony of chaos, pulling you this way and that. Don’t listen to those voices; challenge them with GOD’S Word. Learn to take mini-breaks from the world, finding a place to be still in The LORD’S Presence and listen to HIS voice. There is immense hidden treasure to be found through listening to The LORD. Though GOD pours out blessings upon you always, some of HIS richest blessings have to be actively sought. GOD loves to reveal Himself to you, and your seeking heart opens you up to receive more of GOD’S disclosure. Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”
“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
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” MATTHEW 7 : 7
Prayer: Lord thank you that you are calm in the storm. Help me to take mini-breaks from the world, find a place to be still in your presence and listen to your voice. What a privilege and an honor. Because of Jesus. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
“Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.” Luke 23:34 NIV
To his last breath Jesus was pleading the case for the sinner, hanging on the cross beaten and torn; he was asking the Father to forgive them for what they had done and were doing. Is there someone that you are holding unforgiveness against? If so, think of the words of Jesus from the cross. Today’s prayer is that we would forgive as Jesus did and not condemn those who persecute us but pray to the Father to forgive them…..There is power and freedom in forgiveness……..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
“DO NOT HESITATE TO RECEIVE JOY FROM GOD, for The LORD bestows it on you abundantly. The more you rest in The LORD’S Presence, the more freely GOD’S blessings flow into you. In the Light of GOD’S Love, you are gradually transformed from glory to glory. It is through spending time with The LORD that you realize how wide and long and high and deep is GOD’S Love for you. Sometimes the relationship GOD offers you seems too good to be true. The LORD pours HIS very Life into you, and all you have to do is receive HIM. In a world characterized by working and taking, the admonition to rest and receive seems too easy. There is an intricate connection between receiving and believing: As you trust GOD more and more, you are able to receive The LORD and HIS blessings abundantly. Be still, and know that The LORD is God.”
But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. 2 CORINTHIANS 3 : 18 (NKJV)
. . . so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. EPHESIANS 3 : 17 – 19
“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” PSALM 46 : 10
Prayer: Lord help me to make time to rest in your presence. When I do, you pour your very life into me and I am filled with your peace, love and joy. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.
