BE ON GUARD against the pit of self-pity. – PSALM 89 : 15 – 16, HEBREWS 12 : 1 – 2

“BE ON GUARD against the pit of self-pity. When you are weary or unwell, this demonic trap is the greatest danger you face. Don’t even go near the edge of the pit. Its edges crumble easily, and before you know it, you are on the way down. It is ever so much harder to get out of the pit than to keep a safe distance from it. That is why GOD tells you to be on guard. There are several ways to protect yourself from self-pity. When you are occupied with praising and thanking GOD, it is impossible to feel sorry for yourself. Also, the closer you live to The LORD, the more distance there is between you and the pit. Live in the Light of GOD’S Presence by fixing your eyes on HIM. Then you will be able to run with endurance the race that is set before you, without stumbling or falling.”

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

Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.. HEBREWS 12 : 1 – 2 (NKJV)

Prayer: God help me to be on guard against the pit of self-pity by praising and thanking you for all you have done, are currently doing, and will do in the future for me. Help me to stay close to you today, to talk with you often. In Jesus’ 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 NEED GOD EVERY MOMENT. – 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 17, JOHN 16 : 24

“YOU NEED GOD EVERY MOMENT. Your awareness of your constant need for GOD is your greatest strength. Your neediness, properly handled, is a link to GOD’S Presence. However, there are pitfalls that you must be on guard against: self-pity, self-preoccupation, giving up. Your inadequacy presents you with a continual choice—deep dependence on The LORD, or despair. The emptiness you feel within will be filled either with problems or with GOD’S Presence. Make The LORD central in your consciousness by praying continually: simple, short prayers flowing out of the present moment. Use The LORD’S Name liberally, to remind you of HIS Presence. Keep on asking and you will receive, so that your gladness may be full and complete.”

Pray continually. 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 17

Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.” JOHN 16 : 24

Prayer: Lord help me to have a deep dependence on you this week and to talk with you more throughout the day. To bring you into every detail of my day. You are my best friend and the great I Am. There is no one I’d rather do life with. Thank you Jesus for making that possible. In your precious name I pray. Amen.

Matthew‬ ‭24‬:‭35

Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear. Matthew‬ ‭24‬:‭35‬ NLT

Friends this scripture is so simple and short but ever so powerful!!!!! All that is around us is temporary. The word of God is our instruction manual and every word in the Bible is truth. There are a lot of churches out there teaching the scripture totally out of context!!!! My prayer today is that you would read your Bible (all of it) and understand by the spirit what God is speaking to us, there is a powerful message in every word for each of 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

TRUST AND THANKFULNESS WILL get you safely through this day. – COLOSSIANS 2 : 6 – 7, PSALM 141 : 8, 1 PETER 5 : 7, ISAIAH 61 : 3

“TRUST AND THANKFULNESS WILL get you safely through this day. Trust protects you from worrying and obsessing. Thankfulness keeps you from criticizing and complaining: those “sister sins” that so easily entangle you. Keeping your eyes on GOD is the same thing as trusting GOD. It is a free choice that you must make thousands of times daily. The more you choose to trust GOD, the easier it becomes. Thought patterns of trust become etched into your brain. Relegate troubles to the periphery of your mind, so that The LORD can be central in your thoughts. Thus you focus on GOD, entrusting your concerns into The LORD’S care.”

So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. COLOSSIANS 2 : 6 – 7

But my eyes are fixed on you, O Sovereign LORD; in you I take refuge—do not give me over to death. PSALM 141 : 8

Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 PETER 5 : 7

To grant to those who mourn in Zion – to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes,the oil of gladness instead of mourning,the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit; that they may be called oaks of righteousness,
the planting of the LORD, that he may be glorified. ISAIAH 61 : 3

Prayer: Lord, you know just what I need at just the right time. Thank you of reminding me for the Spirit of heaviness, put on the garment of praise. When I focus on thanking you, on praising you, you change my perspective and outlook entirely. Thank you for never giving up on me Lord. Help me to do the same for your children. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭Revelation‬ ‭21‬:‭4

He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.” ‭Revelation‬ ‭21‬:‭4‬ NLT

Circumstances can seem so bad that you feel they will never end, well there is good news and this scripture explains it. The world will bring heartache and trials but when it’s over all that will cease!!!!! Today I pray that we would all see through the troubles to the solution Jesus!!! That day will come where all is at peace and joy……Be Blessed

YOU ARE FEELING WEIGHED DOWN by a plethora of problems, both big and small. – EXODUS 3 : 14, HABAKKUK 3 : 17 – 19

“YOU ARE FEELING WEIGHED DOWN by a plethora of problems, both big and small. They seem to require more and more of your attention, but you must not give in to those demands. When the difficulties in your life feel as if they’re closing in on you, break free by spending quality time with GOD. You need to remember who GOD is in all HIS Power and Glory. Then, humbly bring GOD your prayers and petitions. Your problems will pale when you view them in the Light of The LORD’S Presence. You can learn to be joyful in The LORD, your Savior, even in the midst of adverse circumstances. Rely on GOD, your Strength; The LORD makes your feet like the feet of a deer, enabling you to go on the heights.”

God said to Moses, “I am who I am . This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’” EXODUS 3 : 14

Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior. The Sovereign LORD is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to go on the heights. For the director of music. On my stringed instruments. HABAKKUK 3 : 17 – 19

Prayer: God help me to break free from worry by spending time with you. Then I can see things more clearly from your perspective. Help me to rely on you and your strength, and not my own. With you, I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Isaiah‬ ‭26:4‬

“Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord himself, is the Rock eternal.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭26:4‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Where is your trust? Is it in things of the world? Putting your trust in things that are temporary will only leave you empty, but putting your trust in the Lord will bring everlasting satisfaction. Today’s prayer is that in all situations we would trust in the Lord for he is our foundation he is our rock……Be Blessed

Psalm 68:19

‭‭1 John‬ ‭4:15‬ ‭NIV

“If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God.” ‭‭1 John‬ ‭4:15‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Being a Christian is more than a “mercy me” t-shirt or a “not of this world” sticker on your car window. The true transformation is to embrace the Holy Spirit that lives within you. Jesus told us in the scripture that “He is leaving us the power of the Holy Spirit” as the internal GPS. Today’s prayer is that we would all listen to that internal GPS and live our lives to please God………..Be Blessed
