The faithful love of the LORD never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning. Lamentations 3:22-23 NLT
Today is a new day, every morning we get a fresh start. It may seem like the trials will never end but God is with us and his love and mercy never stop. Yesterday is gone today is a new. Today I pray that we would give God thanks for everyday and know that he will see us through…….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
“This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and one which enters within the veil,” Hebrews 6:19 NASB
The world tells us that hope is a waste of time!!!! As a believer that is crazy!!!! Remember when you were a kid and hope was all you had for that new baseball glove or pair of new shoes? That is the same hope we should have today in our promise from Gods word. Today’s prayer is that we would never lose hope in anything!!! With hope and prayer all things are possible……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
“IF YOU LEARN TO TRUST GOD—really trust GOD—with your whole being, then nothing can separate you from GOD’S Peace. Everything you endure can be put to good use by allowing it to train you in trusting GOD. This is how you foil the works of evil, growing in grace through the very adversity that was meant to harm you. Joseph was a prime example of this divine reversal, declaring to his brothers: “You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good.” Do not fear what this day, or any day, may bring your way. Concentrate on trusting GOD and on doing what needs to be done. Relax in The LORD’S sovereignty, remembering that HE goes before you, as well as with you, into each day. Fear no evil, for GOD can bring good out of every situation you will ever encounter.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive. GENESIS 50 : 20 (NKJV)
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. PSALM 23 : 4
Prayer: Lord thank you for using everything I endure for good. Help me to trust you more today, not fearing what’s up ahead because you go before me and are with me every step of the way. I don’t want to hold onto anything tighter than I hold onto you. I trust you when you give and when you take away. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had,” Romans 15:5
Day to day life can be tough, situations at home, work, social events, etc. being a Christian is to set the example of Jesus and eventually others will want what you have, ” the mind of Jesus” Today’s prayer is that we all would pray for patience, wisdom, kindness, and to be the example in all settings………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 SEARCH FOR SECURITY in the world you inhabit. You tend to make mental checklists of things you need to do in order to gain control of your life. If only you could check everything off your list, you could relax and be at peace. But the more you work to accomplish that goal, the more things crop up on your list. The harder you try, the more frustrated you become. There is a better way to find security in this life. Instead of scrutinizing your checklist, focus your attention on GOD’S Presence with you. This continual contact with The LORD will keep you in HIS Peace. Moreover, GOD will help you sort out what is important and what is not, what needs to be done now and what does not. Fix your eyes not on what is seen (your circumstances), but on what is unseen (GOD’S Presence).” – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You. ISAIAH 26 : 3 (NKJV)
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 18
Prayer: Lord instead of trying to check everything off my to do list today I give my day to you. Help me prioritize what is important and what is not, what needs to be done today and what can wait. Thank you for caring about every little detail of my life. You are my good good Father. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning? Psalms 22:1
They gave me poison for food,and for my thirst they gave me sour wine to drink. Psalms 69:21
But the others said, Wait! Let us see whether Elijah will come to save Him from death. And Jesus cried again with a loud voice and gave up His spirit. And at once the curtain of the sanctuary of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; the earth shook and the rocks were split.
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? And some of the bystanders, hearing it, said, This man is calling Elijah. And one of them at once ran and took a sponge, filled it with sour wine, and put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink. But the others said, Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to save him. And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and yielded up his spirit. Matthew 27:46-52
When Jesus hung on the cross he finished all!!!!! He felt forsaken to have been the perfect man and to go through all he did. When it says the” veil was torn “in the Old Testament the priest could not approach God and in death Jesus made a way for us to boldly approach God. As we go through this day meditate on all that was given for us on the Cross….. Forgiveness , redemption , mercy, grace, all things have been given to us in Christ Jesus…..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
“COME TO GOD for all that you need. Come into GOD’S Presence with thanksgiving, for thankfulness opens the door to The LORD’S treasures. When you are thankful, you affirm the central truth that The LORD is Good. GOD is Light, in whom there is no darkness at all. The assurance that GOD is entirely Good meets your basic need for security. Your life is not subject to the whims of a sin-stained deity. Relax in the knowledge that the One who controls your life is totally trustworthy. Come to GOD with confident expectation. There is nothing you need that The LORD cannot provide.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song. PSALM 95 : 2
This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. 1 JOHN 1 : 5
Prayer: God I want to come to you for all that I need with thanks and praise. No matter what happens in my life I know you are always good and you will work everything together for the good of those who love you. I trust you Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“MEET GOD IN MORNING STILLNESS, while the earth is fresh with the dew of GOD’S Presence. Worship GOD in the beauty of holiness. Sing love songs to The LORD’S holy Name. As you give yourself to GOD, His Holy Spirit swells within you till you are flooded with divine Presence. The world’s way of pursuing riches is grasping and hoarding. You attain GOD’S riches by letting go and giving. The more you give yourself to The LORD and HIS ways, the more GOD fills you with inexpressible, heavenly Joy.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
Give unto the LORD the glory due to His name; Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. PSALM 29 : 2 (NKJV)
Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy. 1 PETER 1 : 8
Prayer: Lord meet me in the morning stillness. Holy Spirit fill me until overflowing with your divine presence. Help me to surrender all to you, your will, your way. Your plan is far better than anything I could ever imagine. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“YOU CANNOT SERVE TWO MASTERS. If GOD is truly your Master, you will desire to please GOD above all others. If pleasing people is your goal, you will be enslaved to them. People can be harsh taskmasters when you give them this power over you. If GOD is the Master of your life, HE will also be your First Love. Your serving GOD is rooted and grounded in HIS vast, unconditional Love for you. The lower you bow down before GOD, the higher The LORD will lift you up into intimate relationship with HIM. The Joy of living in GOD’S Presence outshines all other pleasures. GOD wants you to reflect HIS joyous Light by living in increasing intimacy with HIM.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
“No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.” MATTHEW 6 : 24
Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love. REVELATION 2 : 4
I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love. . . . EPHESIANS 3 : 16 – 17
You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand. PSALM 16 : 11
Prayer: God help me to desire pleasing you above all others. May the joy of living in your presence outshine all other pleasures. Help me to reflect your light by living in increasing intimacy with you each day. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world.” 1 John 4:4 NLT
The world can just straight out kick your butt!!! But will you let it? This scripture tells us that greater is he (Jesus) that is in us than he (Satan) who is in the world. Day by day can be rough but we have to confess this scripture when the trials arise. Today’s prayer is that we would not become prisoners to the evil ways of the world and fully understand our eternal future……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
