1 Timothy‬ ‭2 : 3 – 5‬

“This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,” ‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭2 : 3 – 5‬ ‭

Are you trying to live a life that is pleasing to God? Are you doing all you can to hit the mark rather than miss it? I believe we all do. God wants all of us to be saved and not perish and there is only one way – Jesus. Today’s prayer is that we would seek the council of The Holy Spirit in all we do and I guarantee we will hit the mark daily …… 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

APPROACH THIS DAY WITH AWARENESS OF WHO IS GOD – ISAIAH 55 : 9 – 11, JEREMIAH 29 : 11

“APPROACH THIS DAY WITH AWARENESS OF WHO IS GOD. As you make plans for the day, remember that it is GOD who orchestrates the events of your life. On days when things go smoothly, according to your plans, you may be unaware of GOD’S sovereign Presence. On days when your plans are thwarted, be on the lookout for GOD! The LORD may be doing something important in your life, something quite different from what you expected. It is essential at such times to stay in communication with GOD, accepting HIS way as better than yours. Don’t try to figure out what is happening. Simply trust The LORD and thank HIM in advance for the good that will come out of it all. GOD knows the plans HE has for you, and they are good.”

Scripture

“As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.” ISAIAH 55 : 9 – 11

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” JEREMIAH 29 : 11

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, I declare you are in charge of my life. When I forget and get back in the cockpit, gently remind me your ways are higher than my ways and let you take over. When I do, it’s always an amazing adventure where I wait expectantly to see what you have planned next. I trust you Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

2 Corinthians‬ ‭4 : 16‬

“That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day.” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭4 : 16‬ ‭NLT‬‬

As we get older the mind says it’s easy to give up! But as Christians we should know these vessels are just temporary. The daily renewing of the spirit is what we should bank on! And the only way to renew is to stay in The Word. Today I pray that all would start their day by at least spending 30 minutes in GOD’S Word and see if the difference not only applies to your attitude but also your health and well being …… Be Blessed and Read Your Bible.

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 WITH A THANKFUL HEART, so that you can enjoy HIS Presence. – PSALM 118 : 24, PHILIPPIANS 4 : 19, 6 – 7

“COME TO GOD WITH A THANKFUL HEART, so that you can enjoy HIS Presence. This is the day that GOD has made. The LORD wants you to rejoice today, refusing to worry about tomorrow. Search for all that GOD has prepared for you, anticipating abundant blessings and accepting difficulties as they come. The LORD can weave miracles into the most mundane day if you keep your focus on HIM. Come to GOD with all your needs, knowing that HIS glorious riches are a more-than-adequate supply. Stay in continual communication with The LORD, so that you can live above your circumstances even while you are in the midst of them. Present your requests to GOD with thanksgiving, and HIS Peace, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your heart and mind.”

Scripture

This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. PSALM 118 : 24

And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 19, 6 – 7 (NKJV)

Prayer

Prayer: God, help me to come to you with all my needs. Knowing that you care about and want to be a part of every detail of my life. Your word says to cast my cares on you because you care for me. And when I do, your peace which surpasses all understanding, will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Philippians‬ ‭4‬ :‭ 4‬ NLT

Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice! Philippians‬ ‭4‬ :‭ 4‬ NLT

Has someone or something taken your joy? Well it’s temporary. Joy in things of the world will at some point leave you wanting something more, something bigger, but joy in The Lord, our one true hope will never leave us craving more. Today I pray that whatever brings you joy would be put aside and your true joy would come from the Lord ….. 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

2 Timothy 1 : 8 – 9

Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God, who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began, 2 Timothy 1 : 8 – 9 NKJV

Oh to be like Paul was, this should be our prayers. The revelation that was given to Paul was incredible and the fact that he wrote it for us to have is even better. Paul was saying never, ever, ever be ashamed of the words of Jesus, stand strong and take the ridicule. Paul understood that we were saved not by our works but by Grace. God is not interested in our religious acts, he is interested in our hearts, knowing that under all circumstances that we glorify Him and His Son. Self check, are you glorifying him in all situations? My prayer is for all to see through any situation and give God all the glory, for we are saved by grace not by our works ………… 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

Philippians‬ ‭3 : 14

“I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭3 : 14‬ ‭

Do you find yourself striving for greatness? And to what measure are you striving for? GOD has called us to live a life that is pleasing to him, pressing forward to the goal of bringing heaven to earth. Today’s prayer is that we would strive for greatness in GOD’S eyes not the world’s, that we would be seeking approval from GOD not man. In JESUS name 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, and rest in HIS loving Presence.- MATTHEW 11 : 28 – 30, JOSHUA 1 : 5 , 9

“COME TO GOD, and rest in HIS loving Presence. You know that this day will bring difficulties, and you are trying to think your way through those trials. As you anticipate what is ahead of you, you forget that GOD is with you — now and always. Rehearsing your troubles results in experiencing them many times, whereas you are meant to go through them only when they actually occur. Do not multiply your suffering in this way! Instead, come to GOD, and relax in HIS Peace. GOD will strengthen you and prepare you for this day, transforming your fear into confident trust.”

Scripture

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” MATTHEW 11 : 28 – 30

“No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. . . . Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” JOSHUA 1 : 5 , 9

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me not to rehearse my troubles and instead rest my soul in your presence while you turn my worry into confident trust and peace that passes understanding. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

1 Chronicles‬ ‭29‬:‭13‬

“O our God, we thank you and praise your glorious name! ‭1 Chronicles‬ ‭29‬ : ‭13‬

Short and sweet, are we thanking God and praising God in all situations? The good and the bad? For the good is a favor and the bad is a test for your Testimony. Today’s prayer is that we all thank God in all situations, thank him for all he has and will ……. 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’S FACE IS SHINING UPON YOU, beaming out Peace that transcends understanding. – PHILIPPIANS 4 : 7, MATTHEW 14 : 30, HEBREWS 12 : 2

“GOD’S FACE IS SHINING UPON YOU, beaming out Peace that transcends understanding. You are surrounded by a sea of problems, but you are face to Face with GOD, your Peace. As long as you focus on The LORD, you are safe. If you gaze too long at the myriad problems around you, you will sink under the weight of your burdens. When you start to sink, simply call out “Help me, Jesus!” and The LORD will lift you up. The closer you live to GOD, the safer you are. Circumstances around you are undulating, and there are treacherous-looking waves in the distance. Fix your eyes on GOD, the One who never changes. By the time those waves reach you, they will have shrunk to proportions of GOD’S design. The LORD is always beside you, helping you face today’s waves. The future is a phantom, seeking to spook you. Laugh at the future! Stay close to GOD.”

Scripture

And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 7

Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” MATTHEW 14 : 30

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. HEBREWS 12 : 2

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, even when I’m surrounded by a sea of problems I will meet you in the inner room of my heart, where you always are, and where there is peace that surpasses understanding. I can hide away with you, even for a minute, better prepared to return to the world. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
