2 Corinthians 12 : 7 – 9

And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure. Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 Corinthians 12 : 7 – 9 NKJV

Do you have a thorn in your side? Or like many a whole rose bush, when trials come upon us it’s then when we go to God in prayer, Paul pleaded with The Lord to remove this from him but instead God was saying “Where is your faith? Don’t you understand I will deliver you from your problem?” We tend to try to fix all of our problems instead of trusting that God has us in his hand, today rejoice when a problem comes your way, because The Lord’s promise is he will handle it!!!! His grace will always be sufficient ……… 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

John‬ ‭3 : 11

“Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness.” John‬ ‭3 : 11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

It is hard for some to understand your testimony, especially those who do not know The LORD. We all have our individual “Come to GOD” story and that is for a reason, we all are called differently. Today’s prayer is that we would stay strong to our testimony to witness people to JESUS CHRIST and HE will do the rest ……. 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

GOD, THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, is with you and for you. |  ROMANS 8 : 31 – 32,  MICAH 7 : 7

“GOD, THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, is with you and for you. What more could you need? When you feel some lack, it is because you are not connecting with GOD at a deep level. GOD offers abundant Life; your part is to trust HIM, refusing to worry about anything. It is not so much adverse events that make you anxious as it is your thoughts about those events. Your mind engages in efforts to take control of a situation, to bring about the result you desire. Your thoughts close in on the problem like ravenous wolves. Determined to make things go your way, you forget that GOD is in charge of your life. The only remedy is to switch your focus from the problem to GOD’S Presence. Stop all your striving, and watch to see what The LORD will do. GOD is The LORD!” 

Scripture

What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? ROMANS 8 : 31 – 32 

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, when my mind starts spiraling with worry and trying to control everything, help me turn my focus back to You. Remind me that You are with me, You are for me, and You are still in control. Teach me to stop striving and rest in Your presence and peace. Amen.

‭Psalms‬ ‭16 ‬: ‭8 – 9

I know the LORD is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me. No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice. My body rests in safety. ‭Psalms‬ ‭16 ‬: ‭8 – 9‬ NLT

Do you ever feel alone? Are you always the one making difficult decisions ? The psalmist tells us that we are never alone, that GOD is always beside us. In the world it is beat into our minds that we are weak if we need help, but The LORD, JESUS CHRIST said ” I leave you a helper, the great council, THE HOLY SPIRIT!!!!!” Today I pray that we all would understand that we have the “The Great I Am” living on the inside and HE is there to help us through every situation, if we will listen, will you listen? Be Blessed !!!!

WHEN YOUR SINS WEIGH HEAVILY upon you, come to GOD. | 1 JOHN 1 : 7, ISAIAH 61 : 10, JOHN 8 : 12

“WHEN YOUR SINS WEIGH HEAVILY upon you, come to GOD. Confess your wrongdoing, which GOD knows all about before you say a word. Stay in the Light of GOD’S Presence, receiving forgiveness, cleansing, and healing. Remember that The LORD has clothed you in HIS righteousness, so nothing can separate you from HIM. Whenever you stumble or fall, GOD  is there to help you up. Man’s tendency is to hide from his sin, seeking refuge in the darkness. There he indulges in self-pity, denial, self-righteousness, blaming, and hatred. But GOD is the Light of the world, and HIS illumination decimates the darkness. Come close to GOD and let The LORD’S Light envelop you, driving out darkness and permeating you with Peace.”

Scripture

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 

I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. ISAIAH 61 : 10 

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” JOHN 8 : 12

Prayer

Prayer: God help me to stay in the light of your presence, receiving forgiveness, cleansing, and healing each day. Thank you for always helping me back up when I stumble and fall short. 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

GOD IS YOUR LORD! | PROVERBS 19 : 21, LUKE 1 : 79

“GOD IS YOUR LORD! Seek GOD  as Friend and Lover of your soul, but remember that GOD is also King of kings — sovereign over all. You can make some plans as you gaze into the day that stretches out before you. But you need to hold those plans tentatively, anticipating that The LORD may have other ideas. The most important thing to determine is what to do right now. Instead of scanning the horizon of your life, looking for things that need to be done, concentrate on the task before you and The One who never leaves your side. Let everything else fade into the background. This will unclutter your mind, allowing GOD to occupy more and more of your consciousness. Trust The LORD to show you what to do when you have finished what you are doing now. GOD will guide you step by step, as you bend your will to HIS. Thus you stay close to GOD on the path of Peace.”

Scripture

Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails. PROVERBS 19 : 21 

“. . . 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

Prayer: Lord thank you for reminding me I can make plans, but to hold them loosely, anticipating that you might have other ideas and ask me to let my plans go. Help me to keep my eyes fixed on you Jesus. Amen.

Psalms‬ ‭19‬ :‭ 7

The instructions of the LORD are perfect, reviving the soul. The decrees of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple. Psalms‬ ‭19‬ :‭ 7‬ NLT

The BIBLE is the instruction manual that GOD has left for us, plain and simple. Today’s prayer is that we all would meditate on The Word of GOD and put every spoken word in play for our lives ….. Be Blessed !!!

AS YOU SIT QUIETLY IN GOD’S Presence, remember that GOD is a God of abundance. | PHILIPPIANS 4 : 19, 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 7

“AS YOU SIT QUIETLY IN GOD’S Presence, remember that GOD is a God of abundance. GOD will never run out of resources; HIS capacity to bless you is unlimited. You live in a world of supply and demand, where necessary things are often scarce. Even if you personally have enough, you see poverty in the world around you. It is impossible for you to comprehend the lavishness of GOD’S provisions: the fullness of HIS glorious riches. Through spending time in The LORD’S Presence, you gain glimpses of The LORD’S overflowing vastness. These glimpses are tiny foretastes of what you will experience eternally in heaven. Even now you have access to as much of GOD as you have faith to receive. Rejoice in The LORD’S abundance—living by faith, not by sight.”

Scripture

And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 19 

We live by faith, not by sight. 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 7

Prayer

Prayer: Lord thank you for your abundance you so generously and freely give. When I spend time in your presence, I gain glimpses of your overflowing vastness and see tiny foretastes of heaven with you. You are amazing and limitless. Help me prioritize spending time with you. Amen.

‭‭Psalm‬ ‭20 : 7

“Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.” ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭20 : 7‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Where is your trust ? What makes you feel trustworthy?. Material things have a way of giving you false trust, trusting in GOD gives you eternal security. Today’s prayer is that we would put our trust in GOD for all things, turn to GOD in all circumstances, and trust that GOD will be there for you always ……. Be Blessed
