“You satisfy me more than the richest feast. I will praise you with songs of joy.” Psalms 63:5 NLT
The satisfaction of knowing that God almighty loves us more than anyone in this world could ever love us should bring a peace over us that is indescribable!!!! Today’s prayer is that when someone we love hurts us or wrongs us, just remember who has eternal love and show it in return……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
“LIE DOWN IN GREEN PASTURES of Peace. Learn to unwind whenever possible, resting in the Presence of your Shepherd. This electronic age keeps GOD’S children “wired” much of the time, too tense to find The LORD in the midst of their moments. GOD built into your very being the need for rest. How twisted the world has become when people feel guilty about meeting this basic need! How much time and energy they waste by being always on the go, rather than taking time to seek GOD’S direction for their lives. GOD has called you to walk with HIM down paths of Peace. GOD wants you to blaze a trail for others who desire to live in HIS peaceful Presence. GOD has chosen you less for your strengths than for your weaknesses, which amplify your need for HIM. Depend on GOD more and more, and The LORD will shower Peace on all your paths.”
The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. PSALM 23 : 1 – 3
By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done. GENESIS 2 : 2 – 3
“ . . . to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.” LUKE 1 : 79
Prayer: Lord teach me to lie down in green pastures of peace. To rest in your presence, often. To be still and know you are God. To listen for your direction before I go. Quiet my spirit Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“I wait quietly before God, for my victory comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will never be shaken.” Psalms 62:1-2 NLT
Do you take full credit for all you accomplish or do you give God praise in all you do? As Christians we have to recognize that our strength comes from the Lord, therefore without strength we will not accomplish much…..Today’s prayer is we should always be proud of what we accomplish but always give God the glory…….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
“O God, listen to my cry! Hear my prayer! From the ends of the earth, I cry to you for help when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the towering rock of safety, for you are my safe refuge, a fortress where my enemies cannot reach me. Let me live forever in your sanctuary, safe beneath the shelter of your wings! Interlude” Psalms 61:1-4 NLT
Prayer is the most powerful communication we have with God!!! Our prayer life is critical to our relationship with the Lord!!! Today’s prayer is we all would pray without ceasing!!! Pray in all situations!!! Pray Hard and pray always…..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
“TO LIVE IN GOD’S Presence consistently, you must expose and expel your rebellious tendencies. When something interferes with your plans or desires, you tend to resent the interference. Try to become aware of each resentment, however petty it may seem. Don’t push those unpleasant feelings down; instead, let them come to the surface where you can deal with them. Ask GOD’S Holy Spirit to increase your awareness of resentful feelings. Bring them boldly into the Light of GOD’S Presence, so that HE can free you from them. The ultimate solution to rebellious tendencies is submission to The LORD’S authority over you. Intellectually you rejoice in GOD’S sovereignty, without which the world would be a terrifying place. But when GOD’S sovereign will encroaches on your little domain of control, you often react with telltale resentment. The best response to losses or thwarted hopes is praise: The Lord gives and the Lord takes away. Blessed be the name of the Lord. Remember that all good things—your possessions, your family and friends, your health and abilities, your time—are gifts from The LORD. Instead of feeling entitled to all these blessings, respond to them with gratitude. Be prepared to let go of anything GOD takes from you, but never let go of GOD’S hand!”
Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me,and lead me in the way everlasting. PSALM 139 : 23 – 24
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 1 PETER 5 : 6
And he said:“Naked I came from my mother’s womb, And naked shall I return there. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; Blessed be the name of the LORD.” JOB 1 : 21 (NKJV)
Prayer: Lord, help me not to hold onto anything tighter than I hold onto you. Not my spouse, not my children, not my job, not my health or my possessions. They are all good gifts from you. Help me to surrender them all into your more capable hands by the power of your Holy Spirit. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“You have rejected us, O God, and broken our defenses. You have been angry with us; now restore us to your favor. You have shaken our land and split it open. Seal the cracks, for the land trembles. You have been very hard on us, making us drink wine that sent us reeling. But you have raised a banner for those who fear you— a rallying point in the face of attack. Psalms 60:1-4 NLT
Day to day challenges can take a huge piece of our faith!!! The condition of the world is heartbreaking. This Psalm sums it up for believers and we should never let the world steal our perfect peace in Jesus Christ!!!! Today’s prayer is when we feel shaken we pray!!!! And more importantly we pray for the world, pray for revival, pray for the perfect peace of the Lord……Be Blessed

“O my Strength, to you I sing praises, for you, O God, are my refuge, the God who shows me unfailing love.” Psalms 59:17 NLT
Have you ever noticed when you sing praise and worship music you feel content? You feel warm inside? That is one of God’s most precious moments. Today’s prayer is whether we sing in the shower, Church, our car, that we would give thanks and sing with all our hearts……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
“THE LORD IS YOUR LIVING GOD, far more abundantly alive than the most vivacious person you know. The human body is wonderfully crafted, but gravity and the inevitable effects of aging weigh it down. Even the most superb athlete cannot maintain his fitness over many decades. Lasting abundant life can be found in GOD alone. Do not be anxious about the weakness of your body. Instead, view it as the prelude to GOD infusing energy into your being. As you identify more and more fully with GOD, HIS Life becomes increasingly intertwined with yours. Though the process of aging continues, inwardly you grow stronger with the passing years. Those who live close to GOD develop an inner aliveness that makes them seem youthful in spite of their years. Let GOD’S Life shine through you, as you walk in the Light with The LORD.”
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. PSALM 139 : 14
To this end I labor, struggling with all his energy, which so powerfully works in me. COLOSSIANS 1 : 29
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. 1 JOHN 1 : 7
Prayer: Lord, thank you that even though my outward body is getting older each year, inwardly I am being renewed day by day. The more I get to know you, the more fully alive I feel. Thank you Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“COME TO GOD with your defenses down, ready to be blessed and filled with GOD’S Presence. Relax, and feel the relief of being totally open and authentic with The LORD. You have nothing to hide and nothing to disclose, because GOD knows everything about you already. You can have no other relationship like this one. Take time to savor its richness, basking in GOD’S golden Light. One of the worst consequences of the Fall is the elaborate barriers people erect between themselves and others. Facades abound in the world, even in The LORD’S Body, the church. Sometimes, church is the last place where people feel free to be themselves. They cover up with Sunday clothes and Sunday smiles. They feel relief when they leave because of the strain of false fellowship. The best antidote to this artificial atmosphere is practicing GOD’S Presence at church. Let your primary focus be communing with The LORD, worshiping HIM, glorifying HIM. Then you will be able to smile at others with GOD’S Joy and love them with GOD’S Love.”
This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by 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, his Son, purifies us from all sin. 1 JOHN 1 : 5 – 7
The LORD replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” EXODUS 33 : 14
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable— if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 8 – 9
Prayer: Lord, help me to practice your presence at church making my primary focus communing with you, worshiping you, glorifying you. Then I will be able to smile and care for others with Your Joy and love them with Your Love. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

“Justice—do you rulers know the meaning of the word? Do you judge the people fairly?” Psalms 58:1 NLT
There is so much judgement in this world today!!! Stereotyping is the new standard!!! From racism to if you have tattoos you’re a bad person, if you’re a conservative you’re racist, if you are from the Middle East you are a terrorist, if you are a Christian you are an elitist racist!!!! Get the point? Today’s prayer is that we would not be brainwashed by what the media says because all they want is the next story!!!! Leave the judgment to God almighty and know there is bad in all people but not all people are bad…..Be Blessed and love all
