Matthew‬ ‭12‬:‭21

And his name will be the hope of all the world.” ‭Matthew‬ ‭12‬:‭21‬ NLT

Isaiah spoke plain and clear about Jesus in this prophecy. What are you hoping for? Who have you put your hope in? Today’s prayer is that we all would remember who we put our trust in, we put our trust in Jesus Christ the hope of the world, so when the waters get rough remember this scripture……Be Blessed

THE LORD IS A MIGHTY GOD. – LUKE 1 : 37, 2 CORINTHIANS 12 : 9

“THE LORD IS A MIGHTY GOD. Nothing is too difficult for GOD. GOD has chosen to use weak ones like you to accomplish HIS purposes. Your weakness is designed to open you up to The LORD’S Power. Therefore, do not fear your limitations or measure the day’s demands against your strength. What GOD requires of you is to stay connected to HIM, living in trusting dependence on HIS limitless resources. When you face unexpected demands, there is no need to panic. Remember that The LORD is with you. Talk with GOD, and listen while GOD talks you through each challenging situation. The LORD is not a careless God. When GOD allows difficulties to come into your life, GOD equips you fully to handle them. Relax in GOD’S Presence, trusting in GOD’S Strength.”

Scripture

“For nothing is impossible with God.” LUKE 1 : 37

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 2 CORINTHIANS 12 : 9

Prayer

Prayer: God when I feel weak help me to remember to talk with you and then be still and listen as you talk me through each challenging situation. Thank you for caring about every detail of my life – big and small. May Jesus’ power rest on me today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Luke 22 : 31 – 34

And the Lord said, “Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren.” But he said to Him, “Lord, I am ready to go with You, both to prison and to death.” Then He said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster shall not crow this day before you will deny three times that you know Me.” Luke 22:31-34 NKJV

Jesus knew that Peter would deny even knowing him, but Jesus also knew that he would build his church using Peter as the main brick. In life, in certain circumstances it’s easy to deny the gospel of Jesus, but do not stand down, stand firm in your belief. Jesus never stopped loving Peter because of his actions and the same applies to you. Today I pray that the spirit of truth would fill each one with the boldness to witness Jesus to all………..

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

THANK GOD IN THE MIDST of the crucible. – 1 PETER 5 : 6 – 7, 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 18

“THANK GOD IN THE MIDST of the crucible. When things seem all wrong, look for growth opportunities. Especially, look for areas where you need to let go, leaving your cares in GOD’S able hands. Do you trust The LORD to orchestrate your life events as HE chooses, or are you still trying to make things go according to your will? If you keep trying to carry out your intentions while GOD is leading you in another direction, you deify your desires. Be on the lookout for what The LORD is doing in your life. Worship GOD by living close to HIM, thanking The LORD in all circumstances.”

Scripture

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 PETER 5 : 6 – 7

Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 18

Prayer

Prayer: Lord show me any areas of my life I need to let go, leaving that worry in your capable hands. Help me to be on the lookout for what you are doing in my life and worship you by living close to you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Jonah‬ ‭2:7

““When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the LORD; And my prayer went up to You, Into Your holy temple.” ‭‭Jonah‬ ‭2:7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Are you praying in the tough times? When a situation gets overwhelming do you seek the Lord or seek yourself? Today’s prayer is that we would be so dependent on God that we would pray and seek him in all situations…..Be Blessed

DO NOT RESIST OR RUN from the difficulties in your life. – JOHN 15 : 5, 2 CORINTHIANS 1 : 8 – 9, EPHESIANS 5 : 20

“DO NOT RESIST OR RUN from the difficulties in your life. These problems are not random mistakes; they are hand-tailored blessings designed for your benefit and growth. Embrace all the circumstances that GOD allows in your life, trusting GOD to bring good out of them. View problems as opportunities to rely more fully on The LORD. When you start to feel stressed, let those feelings alert you to your need for GOD. Thus, your needs become doorways to deep dependence on The LORD and increasing intimacy between you and GOD. Although self-sufficiency is acclaimed in the world, reliance on GOD produces abundant living in HIS kingdom. Thank GOD for the difficulties in your life, since they provide protection from the idolatry of self-reliance.”

Scripture

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” JOHN 15 : 5

We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about the hardships we suffered in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life. Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. 2 CORINTHIANS 1 : 8 – 9

. . . always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. EPHESIANS 5 : 20

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me to embrace all the circumstances that you allow in my life, trusting you to weave them together for my good and your glory. Remind me that problems are opportunities to rely more fully on you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Psalms‬ ‭130:5

“I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, And in His word I do hope.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭130:5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Today’s prayer is that we would keep each other sharp and focused on the advancement of God’s kingdom…….Be Blessed

2 Peter‬ ‭3‬:‭8‬

But you must not forget this one thing, dear friends: A day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years is like a day. 2 Peter‬ ‭3‬:‭8‬ NLT

Are you waiting on something, someone, somehow to happen? Have you surrendered your life to Jesus totally? Remember that even though we don’t see it, God is always at work in the forefront. Did you ever think that he is waiting for you to hand over a stronghold? Today I pray that we all would surrender our lives totally to Jesus and look to him in every situation. Today I pray that we all would hand over any stronghold to Jesus so he can make that correction in our lives and use us for his full plan to further the kingdom……..Be Blessed and remember it’s all in his hands

DON’T BE SO HARD ON YOURSELF. – ROMANS 8 : 28, MICAH 7 : 7

“DON’T BE SO HARD ON YOURSELF. GOD can bring good even out of your mistakes. Your finite mind tends to look backward, longing to undo decisions you have come to regret. This is a waste of time and energy, leading only to frustration. Instead of floundering in the past, release your mistakes to GOD. Look to The LORD in trust, anticipating that GOD’S infinite creativity can weave both good choices and bad into a lovely design. Because you are human, you will continue to make mistakes. Thinking that you should live an error-free life is symptomatic of pride. Your failures can be a source of blessing, humbling you and giving you empathy for other people in their weaknesses. Best of all, failure highlights your dependence on The LORD. GOD is able to bring beauty out of the morass of your mistakes. Trust GOD, and watch to see what HE will do.”

Scripture

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. ROMANS 8 : 28

But as for me, I watch in hope for the LORD, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me. MICAH 7 : 7

Prayer

Prayer: Lord thank you for bringing good out of my mistakes. Thank you for your grace and mercy that are new everyday. Help me to accept that I will continue to make mistakes because I’m human and see them as reminders to have humility and grace for others. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
