May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word. 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 NIV
What is encouraging to you? The word Encourage means to give support, confidence, give hope. God has given us encouragement through his son Jesus Christ and that’s all we need. Today’s prayer is that we would stay focused on the Encouraging promise that Jesus gave us, don’t look to the world for hope, look to the Lord for eternal hope……..Be Blessed

“GOD IS CALLING YOU to a life of constant communion with HIM. Basic training includes learning to live above your circumstances, even while interacting on that cluttered plane of life. You yearn for a simplified lifestyle, so that your communication with GOD can be uninterrupted. But GOD challenges you to relinquish the fantasy of an uncluttered world. Accept each day just as it comes, and find GOD in the midst of it all. Talk with GOD about every aspect of your day, including your feelings. Remember that your ultimate goal is not to control or fix everything around you; it is to keep communing with GOD. A successful day is one in which you have stayed in touch with The LORD, even if many things remain undone at the end of the day. Do not let your to-do list (written or mental) become an idol directing your life. Instead, ask GOD’S Holy Spirit to guide you moment by moment. He will keep you close to GOD.”
Pray continually. 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 17
In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. PROVERBS 3 : 6
Prayer: Lord help me to learn to live above my circumstances, finding you in the midst of a messy day. Help me to focus less on my to-do list and more on communing with you. When I do, you help me get more done in less time. Holy Spirit please guide me moment by moment. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.
““Mortal man,” he said, “these men have given their hearts to idols and are letting idols lead them into sin. Do they think I will give them an answer?” Ezekiel 14:3 GNT
What things do you have in your life that cause you to sin ? More so, what thing do you put before God that keeps you in Sin? Today’s prayer is that anything in our lives that makes us sin or that we put before God we would get rid of immediately!!!! Pray that God would take them and replace them with a servant’s heart…….Be Blessed

Going through a tough time? Things seem to be never ending problems? Well the good news is it’s only temporary.

“TASTE AND SEE THAT GOD IS GOOD.The more intimately you experience GOD, the more convinced you become of HIS goodness. GOD is the Living One who sees you and longs to participate in your life. The LORD is training you to find HIM in each moment and to be a channel of HIS loving Presence. Sometimes GOD’S blessings come to you in mysterious ways: through pain and trouble. At such times you can know GOD’S goodness only through your trust in HIM. Understanding will fail you, but trust will keep you close to The LORD. Thank GOD for the gift of HIS Peace, a gift of such immense proportions that you cannot fathom its depth or breadth. When CHRIST The LORD appeared to HIS disciples after the resurrection, it was Peace that The LORD communicated first of all. HE knew this was their deepest need: to calm their fears and clear their minds. The LORD also speaks Peace to you, for HE knows your anxious thoughts. Listen to GOD! Tune out other voices, so that you can hear GOD more clearly. The LORD designed you to dwell in Peace all day, every day. Draw near to GOD; receive GOD’S Peace.”
Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him. PSALM 34 : 8
So she called the name of the LORD who spoke to her, You are a God of seeing, for she said, Truly here I have seen him who looks after me. GENESIS 16 : 13
On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” JOHN 20 : 19
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. COLOSSIANS 3 : 15
Prayer: Lord thank you for designing me to dwell in peace, all day everyday. Help me to tune out other voices, so I can hear you more clearly. To slow down, to sit in your presence, and to appreciate your blessings all around me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“GOD IS TAKING CARE OF YOU. Trust GOD at all times. Trust GOD in all circumstances. Trust GOD with all your heart.When you are weary and everything seems to be going wrong, you can still utter these four words: “I trust You, Jesus.” By doing so, you release matters into GOD’S control, and you fall back into the security of HIS everlasting arms. Before you arise from your bed in the morning, GOD has already arranged the events of your day. Every day provides many opportunities for you to learn The LORD’S ways and grow closer to HIM. Signs of GOD’S Presence brighten even the dullest day when you have eyes that really see. Search for The LORD as for hidden treasure. GOD will be found by you.”
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. PROVERBS 3 : 5
The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. He will drive out your enemy before you, saying, “Destroy him!” DEUTERONOMY 33 : 27
“You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,” declares the LORD, “and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the LORD, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.” JEREMIAH 29 : 13 – 14
Prayer: God thank you for taking care of me and arranging every detail of my day before I even rise. Open my eyes to see the opportunities to love and blessings all around me. I trust you Jesus. Lead the way. In your name I pray. Amen.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.” Proverbs 3:5-6 NLT
We always want the here and now! We want it our way! We want it to be as easy as possible !!! Did you ever think our wants will bring us sorrow? Bring us hurt? Well God knows. God has predestined our lives before they were and I will trust his plan. Today I pray we would never question the path but trust in God!! For he is Almighty, Lord of Lords, King of Kings, the all knowing Elohim…… Be Blessed and trust
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
“STOP TRYING TO WORK THINGS OUT before their times have come. Accept the limitations of living one day at a time. When something comes to your attention, ask GOD whether or not it is part of today’s agenda. If it isn’t, release it into GOD’S care and go on about today’s duties. When you follow this practice, there will be a beautiful simplicity about your life: a time for everything, and everything in its time. A life lived close to GOD is not complicated or cluttered. When your focus is on The LORD’S Presence, many things that once troubled you lose their power over you. Though the world around you is messy and confusing, remember that The LORD has overcome the world. GOD has told you these things, so that in HIM you may have Peace.”
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven. ECCLESIASTES 3 : 1
“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: God help me to ask you when something on my mind is for today’s agenda. And if not, help me release it to you and let it go. A life lived close to you is not complicated or cluttered. Though the world is messy and confusing, I tuck myself in your sweet presence where all is well with my soul. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, I Thessalonians 5:9 NKJV
God’s plan for us starting way back in the garden was nothing but joy and perfect happiness, but sin came into the world and all that was damaged. God’s plan has not changed! That’s why he sent his son so that we could have that perfect peace. Today tell someone about the perfect peace of Jesus, tell someone what Jesus has done for you, tell someone that no matter how bad they have been that Jesus wants to give them that perfect peace………Be Blessed
