Psalm 143:10

Father God, You are the Teacher and we are the students. You know what is best for us all and we need to be wise enough to let Your will be done in our lives. Lead us all, Lord, through Your Spirit, and show us Your good and perfect way for our lives. Amen

 

 

 

Those who accepted His message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.

Acts 2:41

Father God, thank You for the message You have given to the whole world. Lord, Your church and Your people need to be moved by Your Spirit.  Shake our hearts to the point of witnessing, like we have never witnessed before. Help us all, Lord, especially those who believe, to do the work that You left for us, to witness, to tell our story, to tell Your story, to pick up our cross, and to tell about what took place on that cross at Calvary. Help us Lord, to help this messed up world remember the reason for our witnessing and for the Believers Baptism. Lord, only You know the time of Your return and we still have so much work to do. May we, that believe, be guided by the Spirit as we help others to find their way. Amen

 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
Psalm 91:1-2

Father God, thank You for watching  over us, as we rest, and thank You for always being there, when we awake. As we face the day, that You have given us, we walk safely in Your covering. You are our fortress of protection and You are the Almighty God that we trust. Amen.

 

 

 

 Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed at His coming.

 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.
Genesis 3:7

Father God, we know the story of Adam and Eve in the garden where they had sinned and they were ashamed and tried to hide from You and You made coverings for them to cover their sinful bodies. Lord, we are still sinning and hiding, and although You see our sin and You see us in our hiding places You still cover us with Your forgiveness. Some of us might just as well be blind because they will not open their eyes to Your truth. Help us all, Lord, to open our eyes and our hearts and let the Spirit cover us with His love, mercy, and forgiveness.  Forgive us of our sins, Lord, and may we keep our eyes open and focused on You and Your truth. Amen.

 In you, Lord, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame; deliver me in your righteousness.
Psalm 31:1

Father God, thank You, that in Your righteousness, You see fit, to protect us and redeem us when we need it the most. Help us all, Lord,  to know that when their is no one else to turn to, that it is You, our Savior and Redeemer, that we can put our trust in. Amen

 

 

 

 God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.
2 Cor. 5:21

Father God, thank You for Your Son, Jesus. Help us all, Lord, when we are about to sin, to just take a moment, to stop and think about the cross, the blood, the pain, the suffering, that the one You made, took because of our sins, past, present, and future. Lord, forgive us for our selfishness and help us to stop our sinning so that we might become righteous in Your eyes. Amen.

 

 

 

 Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
Matthew 7:13-14

Father God, Your plan for eternal life is so profound and to the point. You could have made the wide gate the path to follow and it would not be crowded to get in. Why? Because mankind is too busy stepping over one another to do everything possible to take You out of their lives. Lord, please, help those who still believe in You and Your plan to continue telling others about what You have done in their lives. Help us to keep Your churches open and help us to keep sharing Your message of salvation. Narrow or wide, let's be honest with ourselves, way too many are riding that fence. I understand that kind of living, it brings way too much heartache, besides, it will not work. Rev.3:16 says, " Because you are luke-warm, neither hot nor cold, I am about to spit you out of my mouth." Jesus is saying He is sick and tired of those who won't come down off that fence and commit their lives to Him
Their are two paths people, I pray you will choose wisely, before it's too late. I do not pray this to scare anyone, who is on that fence, I pray this to hopefully help someone to have courage, get off the fence, jump on that narrow path, secure  your salvation, and follow that narrow path, all the way to eternal life, with our Savior, Jesus! Amen

 

 

 April 22, 2021

 

 For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.
1 Cor. 2:11

Father God, it is the Spirit within those who believe in You that keeps us seeking more understanding of You and Your ways. Help us all, Lord, to find the Spirit of Your Son, Jesus, and to let Him into our hearts and minds, and let Him direct our thinking, so that we can come to know You better. Amen.

 

 

 

 My son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline, and do not resent h
His rebuke, because the Lord disciplines those He loves, as a father the son he delights in.
Proverbs 3:11-12

Father God,  thank You for loving us enough to say "no," but always with good reason. Lord, when You  discipline and rebuke, You are   being the Father that cares enough to show Your children right from wrong. Help us all, Lord, to listen, understand, and obey, as You love us all, just the way we are. Amen.

 

 

 Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken.
Psalm 55:22

 When I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.
Psalm 32:3

Father God, thank You for the wonderful experience of confession. What a joy and relief it is to confess and then be able to tell others about what You are doing in our lives. Amen. Love

 

 

 

 

 Do not be like your ancestors, to whom the earlier prophets proclaimed: This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘Turn from your evil ways and your evil practices.’ But they would not listen or pay attention to me, declares the Lord.
Zechariah 1:4

Father God, even in the times past, Your own people would not listen and obey. Lord, You sent Your Son, Jesus, our Savior, in the flesh, to walk amongst us, to teach, preach, feed the hungry, cast out demons, and even raise the dead. The people still would not listen and obey. Today,  Your people, not all, but way too many, still will not listen and obey. The evil has gotten stronger and the things of the world have become more tempting to mankind. People fill their lives with things that keep them from You, Your word, and Your House. Lord, please help those who are listening and obeying, to the best of their abilities, to share as much of You, as possible, while we can. Lord, we can't make people obey and listen, but we can  be the best examples of the lives You have given to those who do listen and obey. Thank You Jesus, for being my Savior! Amen.

 

 

 April 16, 2021

 

 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
Galatians 6:9
Father God, those who know You need the strength that can only come from You, if they are to stay strong in the hour of need. Lord, You know that there are many that have not heard Your word and many who have heard, but refuse to listen and obey. The workers know the harvest is coming and we need more workers. Help us, Lord, to have patience like You, to not give up, or give in, to outside influences. May the workers stand firm and stay prepared and ready, to help those in their times of need.

 

 April 15, 2021

 

 Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with Me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done.
Rev. 22:12

Father God, we pray "Come Jesus, come," and we wait with patience, knowing what an awesome day, as well as, a sad day, it will be. Lord, some are ready because they have prepared and are busy doing Your work but, others are struggling, holding on to the things of this world. Strengthen the workers, Lord, so that they might help those who struggle, to see that Your reward is much greater than anything this world has to offer. Amen.

 Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.
Galatians 6:8

Father God, You make it possible for us to not let our flesh control our minds and hearts through us knowing the Spirit that saves. Yes, that is a personal choice that each person  has the freedom to make. Help us all, Lord, to choose eternal life and not destruction. Amen.

 

 

 April 10, 2021

 Wealth is worthless in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death.

Proverbs 11:4

Father God, all we have is Yours, be it what we want or what we need. If we don't have You, but we have what we want, it all means nothing. If we have what we need, in You, we have everything. The life we want to live without You, will be a life filled with difficulties and Lord, we can only pray that You show us Your mercy, at our eternal end. The life we need to live with You, Lord, we know will be filled with all that we need, and we thank You now, for our eternal end with You. Amen.

 

 

 To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with Me on My throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with My Father on His throne.

Revelation 3:21
Father God, thank You for giving us all the choice to run the race with You or without You. Lord, if we choose to live here on this earth being worldly without You, all we will find is sin and regrets and the eternal end will be even worse. On the other hand, in choosing You, You have laid before us a pathway that is narrow and straight and if we seek to live godly, through the Spirit, we will win the victory and have eternal life with You. Thank You, Jesus! Amen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord.

 April 6, 2021

 

 For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want.
Galatians 5:17
Father God, thank You for the Spirit that comes in and takes away any controversy about how we should live. Yes, we are still in the flesh, but when we listen and obey the Spirit, in our times of  weakness or temptation, You, in Spirit, always show us what is right  and keep us from doing what the flesh wants to do. Thank You for always being there. Amen

 

 

I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.
Ezekiel 36:26

Father God, thank You for how You  take the unbelievers, who have hardened their hearts out of hurt, lies,  confusion, and sometimes ignorance, of who You are and what You have to offer. Lord, help the church of believers to reach out to the unbelievers with the truth of Your word and the love  of the Spirit of Jesus. Help the church to love, teach, and preach, the truth with the help of the Spirit and help us take away the hurt with love, the lies with the truth, the confusion and ignorance, with introducing You, Jesus, through His Spirit, into the hearts, that He will change. Lord, the church needs to be renewed, refreshed, rejuvenated, and re-energized to carry on Your work. May we all be in prayer for how we can be used  in the church, outside the church, at work, school, just wherever the Spirit leads, guides, and directs us. Amen.

Father God, help us all to remember that our relationship with Your Son, our Savior, Jesus, comes first, in all things. Remind us, that just as Jesus came to serve and not be served. Remind us, it was Jesus who set the example for us, when it comes to being last, as we serve others. Amen. Love to all!!

 God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before Him.
1 Cor. 1:28-29

Father God, it's amazing what You can do in our lives when we submit to Your will. You can take people who are of no esteem, in the eyes of the world, and use them to glorify You. Keep us humble Lord, so that  we can be used and be pleasing to You. Amen

 For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.
1 Timothy 4:8

Father God, we know You want us to keep our bodies in good physical shape, which demands a certain amount of training. Along with the physical, if we don't have some spiritual training (obedience) for the mind and heart, the flesh can beome weak and regardless of how physically strong the body is, we can lose our focus on the godly promises in this life and the eternal life to come. Amen.

Romans 16:17
Father God, thank You for how You move those  who have received  Your Spirit.

Lord, as You are still establishing Your churches today, help those that are serving now to be mindful of those You send in, help us to see their desires to serve and help us to make sure we all are in agreement with the teaching and knowledge that You have given to each one, as we come together in like-mindedness and oneness.

 In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now He commands all people everywhere to repent.
Acts 17:30

Father God, we that have truly repented and we who claim to truly know You, we thank You for the forgiveness of our sins, although we keep sinning.

Help us now, to be the true Christians, the true Churches, and help us to get busy leading people to You. Those that do not know, their ignorance is on us, the Christians, the Churches, Lord, Revive the people and Your churches and strengthen us so that we might teach, preach, and spread Your message of truth, repentance, and salvation, to all that will listen. Father, open our minds, and open our hearts, as we open the doors of Your churches, put a burden on us so heavy that we will do Your bidding without question. Amen. Love to all!!
Lord, I ask a special prayer for all those in authority. Help us all, to put our politics aside. Your word says in:
1 Timothy 2:1-2
I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people - for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. Lord, You know Your world and Your people are not at peace. I believe You raise people up in life and You equip them to accomplish things for the greater good of all mankind. Help us to pray for those who will be in authority, who will lead Your people in a godly manner, that comes from Your direction, straight to their hearts and minds. It is only through You and the powers You give, that any man can make a difference in Your world. May we all, come together in one mind, one body, one people, one race, the human race, may we come together as Your Children, just what You created us to be. I ask and I pray, all these things, in the precious name of Jesus. Amen. Love to all!!

Lord, show us the way. Amen. Love to all!!

Galatians 1:10

Father God, help us all to realize that all relationships are important. The way we treat others says a lot about the person we are.

May we always make our relationship with You the most important and may we learn from You the importance and value that comes from being in service to You, our Lord, and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.

2 Timothy 1:9 \

Romans 14:13

Father God, forgive us all for the way we have caused divisions amongst ourselves.  We wage war against one another, thinking one is better than the other. Lord, You created us all equal.

Help us all to learn again how to worship and be the spiritual beings You made us to be. Lord, please, take away the feelings of  indifferencepride and hate. Way too many of us have gone astray and what we need is more of Jesus and less of the world. Help us all, Lord, to make more time for You and spend less time being in the world. Amen.

 I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought.

1 Corinthians1:10

Father God, please, forgive us all for the way we are so divided in our thinking and the way we are acting. Right now, in this world, the devil seems to have the upper hand on so many people. They are lost within themselves on how to communicate their thoughts and feelings about what's right and wrong, about being heard and recognized for who they are, for the pain they are experiencing, for the way they are treated, the very way they are perceived as a people. Lord, Your word says, "we will have troubles." Your word also says for us to be "united in mind and thought." Lord, we need Your Spirit to be stirred up in those who know You, because many who are acting out, know You very well. Now is the time for us all to come together and we can't do that without You, touching the minds and hearts of all the people. Lord, help those who know You, to turn to You more than we ever have, give us
all the courage to say and do and be the godly people You have made us to be. Help us all, Lord, to come together in our thinking and reasoning and find a common ground, help us all to find You again. You are the thread that links and ties us all together. Hear our prayers, Lord, heal our wrong thinking, take away the hate and confusion. Once more, we ask You to remove the evil from the minds and hearts that have been taken over by the devil. Lord, only You, can change the way the world is headed, only You, can change the hearts and minds of Your people, only You, can save us from ourselves. I would ask, as others receive this scripture and prayer today, please, make it Your prayer, as we ask, in unity, all this, in the name of our Lord, God, and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen. Love to all!!

Help us to know, Lord, that without those things, we would not have the freedoms we enjoy today. Lord, help us to be truthful with ourselves in knowing that we have truly chosen Your Son, Jesus. Because without Jesus, there is no freedom. Lord, You see the world slowly pulling away from obeying and recognizing You, Your laws, and commands. Even in our Constitution, in the laws and ways we have pledged to live by, to be able to enjoy the freedoms You have given us, those freedoms are being taken away. Lord, we live in a sick world and need You to intervene before we lose everything You have put into place for us to live as a free people. People, I pray this for us all. I am free because I know and I have accepted the truth, Jesus. I say it proudly and thank God for all the freedoms He has given me. The freedom to choose Jesus keeps me free from this world and the sins of this world, regardless of what man tries to take away, nothing can change the freedom I have in Jesus. I pray all reading this knows the truth I am speaking of and if you don't, today you can choose the truth, Jesus, and be free. The choice has always been ours, God planned and purposed it that way. That's why He gave us Jesus, that's God's truth. Amen. Love to all!!

You already know, but that's the great thing about calling on You, even in our darkest moments, You are there before we call. Even with the world in turmoil, You are ready and waiting on the call. Lord, show Your mercy on those that aren't capable of being truthful, because they think they have all the answers, but they really don't know where they are at, in life, as well as, they don't know where they are going. People, consider this, if you would, please! If you call on Him, He always answers. He is the answer!  If you don't call on Him, someone else will come calling on you. Believe it! It's the truth! Lord, I call on You for those who won't and for those who don't understand. Have mercy on us all! Amen. Love to all!!

 Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, “Anyone who wants to be first must be the very last, and the servant of all.”
Mark 9:35
Father God, thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus, who came to serve and not be served. He was  the greatest example of humility, by becoming last, serving all mankind, when He could have left us to ourselves. Help us all, Lord, to see and learn the humility that is spoke of in Your word. May we all become humble and realize that this world doesn't revolve around our being. We don't have to be the best, but we do need to know the best, in Jesus. He is to be first in our lives, before anything else or anyone else. Just before Jesus was served up on that cross, He made ready, His disciples, to serve in His absence. Lord, help us all, to be made ready, help us to be willing to take on a servants heart, being humble in the Spirit, and ready to serve others, putting them first, just as our Savior, Jesus did. May we serve in all we say and do and may it be done to honor and glorify our God. Amen. Love to all!!

 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
Hebrews 10:24-25

Father God, what a fitting passage of scripture for the times we are living in. Lord, as Christians, we have been put into a position of not being able to meet together in Your house. But, You have shown us, through modern technology, how to come together by other means. Thank You, Lord, that in Spirit, we are still one, in Your eyes. We have taken an unfortunate situation and turned it into a spiritual experience that I believe will make Your church and Your people stronger, for the things that we must face, in the days to come. You can take any situation, be it good or bad, and teach us a lesson from it. Lord, if we have learned anything from this situation we are in, please Lord, help us to see that we need You, that we need one another, and that we need to come together to praise You, worship You, learn from You, and learn from one another, as we love You and love each other. Lord, I pray that people will respond  to Your leading and be lead back to You and Your house, so that they might find You, as the
Day is approaching. Thank You, Lord, for always being there. Amen. Love to all!!

1 Kings 2:3

Father God, thank You for giving us all  standards to live by. You have given us a beautiful world in which to live, but we won't slow down enough to observe the beauty.

We are disobedient in following that which is best for us because we don't like rules and being told what to do. Help us all, Lord, to realize that You know best, that You have the answers, that Your decrees, commands, laws, and regulations, are for our benefit.

Thank You that we can take that peace and make it known to others, as we give witness of Your Spirit, in how we live. Help us all, Lord, to never be afraid, being a part of the body, to share You, to share the love of Your Spirit, and to share the peace that keeps us all going in the difficult times.

We are all taken back with the change that is taking place in all our lives and my heart just breaks for those who are not at peace. Again, to know You, to have Your Spirit within our heart, to be able to look at the world through the eyes of Jesus, to rest in knowing that You have all things in control, I give thanks.

 Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God—I say this to your shame.
1 Corinthians 15:34

Father God, just as Your word is truth, it can sometimes hit the heart in a very powerful way. Lord, help us to not only take the truth of Your word in, but help us to do just what it says. Help us all, Lord, to take a moment and own our sin, you know yours and I know mine. Help us all, Lord, as Your word says, to "come to our senses," and stop sinning. Lord, You are the God of all good things. You do everything well and what You have created You expect good to come out of it. There is good in all of us and it is just as easy, to use common sense, and do good instead of sin. Lord, if the times we are in are Your way of pointing out, "enough is enough," I get it! I ask and pray for those who, as Your word says, "are ignorant of God."  Help those of us who know You to please, TELL SOMEONE ABOUT JESUS! If we know and we don't tell someone, Lord, we are the ignorant one, we are guilty of holding back the one thing that can make the difference in our sinning, or our coming back to our senses. I love You Lord and I praise You and thank You for saving me from my sins. Tell someone about Jesus!!! Amen. Love to all!!

 

  March 29, 2020

 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.
Proverbs 4:23

Father God, You created all mankind, and You placed each part of our physical being in precise places to help us live, breathe, and function, as Your children. Lord, as well, You have given us minds to think and reason with, but sometimes we need to be reminded that we are Your children. Wow!To be children of God! How awesome is that! Thank You Lord! This passage speaks to us guarding our heart. Lord, again, remind us, as Your word says, "everything you do flows from it."  Everything, that's big! With our heart, we hear You Lord, we feel You Lord, we experience joy, love, peace, etc. and we also feel pain, suffering, loss, etc. Lord, with the hearts You have given each one of us, please, help us to know that our heart belongs to You, help us to know that feeling of Your touch, when we need You most, help us to hear that sweet soft voice, when You are whispering in our ear, and most of all, help us to feel that tug, when You need to grab our heart, with the utmost care, but maybe You tug a little harder, just to remind us, we are Your children, and at times, we need to be reminded, we trust and obey, with our heart. You have our hearts, in the palm of Your hand. Thank You,Lord! Amen. Love to all!!

 Those who guard their lips preserve their lives, but those who speak rashly will come to ruin.

Proverbs 13:3

 

Father God, thank You for the words of wisdom that come from your book, the Bible. Lord, give us all the desire to seek out Your word, so that we might gain Your wisdom, and then, when we speak, it will be words that encourage and are for good, not words of evil, that are on our lips. Lord, we all have a choice to have in us, the ability to not only speak as Jesus spoke, but we can also be a reflection of Jesus, in what we say and in how we act. Help us all, Lord, in all we do and all we say, to let it be pleasing to You. Amen. Love to all!!

 Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;
His love endures forever.
1 Chronicles 16:34

Father God, thank You, thank You, thank You! Lord, if every person that You have created, said thank You, it would not be enough. Help us all, to realize that the thank You's are a way to acknowledge that we know You, but to thank You and know You, that still is not enough.You gave up Your son, Jesus, and He came in the flesh, He lived, suffered, and died, loving  all of mankind, and He did that, all the way to the cross, but He did not stay dead, out of His living and dying love, He lives today in those who know Him and His love. Lord, help us to be a reflection of that love, first to You, and then to others. We love You, Lord, and we want to share that love for all eternity with You! Amen. Love to all!!

 

 

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
the people He chose for His inheritance.
Psalm 33:12

Father God, with all that is going on in the world today, again, it is You and Your word, that shows us all our way. Help us all, Lord, to truly  understand that You and Your word and our accepting both, that is the start of becoming part of Your chosen people. Help us all, Lord, to grab hold of all that You offer, help us to start by making You and Your word, first in our lives.Help us to wake up in the mornings giving thanks to You. In knowing You, help us to start our day with Your word. Let us a good perspective about how You have planned our day. Help us to go out into the world being positive,  being bold in our demeanor, in the way we treat others with love, compassion, concern, for what's going on in their lives. Help us to be those blessed people, help us to reflect the Christ that is within us. Lord, we want to be that nation that can change this world. Help us all, to realize, that we can't do it without You. Help us to let go of the things that are stealing our joy, that are keeping us from living at peace with others, that is stopping us from being the people You want us to be. Lord, for some, it's going to be hard to start over, to pick up Your word and start to trust it, to maybe start a  relationship with You, or, maybe renew the one they started years ago, before the world and Satan got a hold on them. Lord, strengthen Your churches, Your Pastors, Your leaders, Your teachers, all those blessed people that are trying as hard as they can to stay faithful to You and to the work You have planned, that needs to be done. Lord, Your word says,  "This is the day that the Lord has made..." Psalm 118:24. People, our Lord, our God, our, our Savior, Jesus Christ,  watches over us and He wants us to make the best of our days. Help us all, Lord, to rise up together, join with You and Your Spirit, to be that blessed nation. Amen. Love

2 Chronicles 7:14

Father God, if only, all of us would do as Your word of truth tells us to do, we can only imagine what our world would look like. Maybe, a little bit of heaven, here on earth.

The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.
Romans 8:6

Father God, You created each one of us and You gave us a mind to think and reason with. Lord, please help us to make good sound decisions about what we take into our minds. Help us to choose right over wrong and good over evil, help us to choose godly things over ungodly things, and most of all, help us to choose You over this world. Lord, You have given us free will to make the choices that we make. You know that the flesh is weak and not all can handle the freedom, that You so graciously give, and You know we all need the guidance of that sweet Spirit. Almighty God, please, help us, that have made our choice, to be an influence in someones life, that does not know You. Remind us, Lord, that if we know You, we are no longer of this world, we are lead by the Spirit, and we have a duty and responsibility to honor You, by "telling someone else!" Let us be Your witnesses, Lord, as we share the sweet, sweet, Spirit of life and peace. Amen. Love to all!!

 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

Matthew 10:28

Father God, what an awesome scripture to awake to and face the moment we live in today. Lord, what a joy it is to know You and know that Your Spirit lives within us and is in control of  every breath we take, every beat of our heart,  every thought in our minds, and everything that we feel. You lead, guide, direct, protect, and You keep us from harm, and You calm any fears that we might have. We need You now, O Lord, to please, help us, listen to that Spirit, help us to  let the Spirit calm our thinking, help us to know, Lord, there is nothing to fear about what is going on in the world. These things have to take place, but we do not have to give into our fears. In knowing You, and living through the Spirit, we trust what You have planned for us, and we trust it will be carried out, regardless of any fear, all in Your time, Your way, and Your will. Help us all, Lord, to just stay faithful and not give into fear, and as I like to say, " just watch what God will do!" We love You Lord and we will not give into fear. Amen. Love to all!!

 For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your Heavenly Father will also forgive you.
Matthew 6:14

Father God, from the cross Jesus said, "forgive them for they know not what they do." Lord, we all need help when it comes to forgiveness. No one really knows another person's hurt or pain and who are we to say this one or that one should be forgiven for the pain and hurt someone has caused another. Help us to start by us forgiving anyone that has hurt us. If we can forgive first and let go of our pain and know that You will make us whole again, then not only has the process of forgiveness started, but the process of healing has also started. We no longer have to live with our pain and hurt and You will strengthen us and forgive us of our wrongs towards others. Lord, help us all to have forgiving hearts so that we can pray for Your blessings on others. Help us all, Lord, to be a forgiving people, moving forward in our daily living, with the love and forgiveness of Christ in our hearts.
Amen. Love to all!!

Lord, help the workers to not grow weary, help them to keep the faith, help them to do the work, and at the proper time, may we all become a part of the harvest, because of the work that has been done. Amen. Love to all!!

One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin,
but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
Proverbs 18:24

Father God, thank You for giving us all the greatest friend we could ever have in Your Son, Jesus. Lord remind us how important it is to build good Christian relationships with others.

and wait expectantly.

 Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
Galatians 6:2

 

Father God, just as Your Son, Jesus, carried His cross all the way to Calvary, please, help us to realize that it is You and our relationship with You, that makes it possible for us to carry one anothers burdens. Lord, You give special gifts to those who You have called to teach and preach Your word. That alone is a heavy burden. Thank You, Lord, for those who dig deep into Your word and thank You for giving them the desire to teach and preach. Please, Lord, give them hearts full of  compassion towards others, as they learn Your word. Lord,   help the teachers and preachers to be thankful for the ministries You have given them. Help them, Lord, to realize that not everyone has the same desires to learn, study, and grow in Your word. Lord, Your word says, "where two or three are gathered, You are amongst them..." As Your word says, Lord, give us that burden of one person, one soul, at a time. We are the servant, You are the Master Teacher and Preacher. Help the teachers and preachers to realize that the burden is great, but also, help them to focus on the ministry that You have put on them. Help them to not worry if it is only two or three, if that is all that is present, help them to remember the burden You gave them, help them to teach and preach the word of truth, help them to focus on the salvation of the lost soul, not how full the room is. Lord, I pray this prayer as the man You called, I have become the servant, first to You, and then to others, I have become a teacher, and a preacher, to those You have put in my life. Lord, help me and those You have called, to stay focused on You and Your word, to teach and preach it all, in truth, in love, and with a heavy burden, for the lost. Amen. Love to all!!

 Blessed is the one whom God corrects;

so do not despise the discipline of the Almighty.
Job 5:17

Father God, thank You for loving us enough to correct us when we are displeasing to You. When we know You, the way we should, we are well aware of what conviction feels like. To have a heart for the Lord, is to know that feeling in our heart, when we know right from wrong and when the heart is convicted,  that what we might be doing or saying, or maybe how we are treating someone badly, that is when we experience Your discipline.Thank You, Lord, for the blessing of when You touch those hearts that know You, that know right from wrong, that know it is You, who talks to us through our hearts and helps us to feel through the Spirit. Help us all, Lord, to listen and know that when we feel that tug on our hearts and we hear that voice from within, You are fixing to do something great, be it correction or discipline, those who know You, are about to be blessed. Amen. Love to all!!

Mark 1:15

Father God, You control all things and only You know the time for all things to change or end. Help us all, Lord, to be ready at all times for Your coming, for Your saving us from ourselves. Lord, some stand ready and waiting, please, have mercy on those who do not understand and help those that do understand, continue on telling others of the great thinks You have for those who will repent, believe the good news, and stand ready for Your coming. Amen. Love to all!!

 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

Colossians 3:12

Father God, to be among the chosen is truly a blessing. You have chosen us, but not all have chosen You. You are all those things when it comes to compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, and You want us to adopt those same qualities. Lord, we are imperfect people, trying to live in an imperfect world and we need You to help us all to realize that the only way to gain Your mannerisms is to gain the Spirit within ourselves. We cannot do it alone, it will only happen when we choose You, and Your path, and when we let the Spirit in, when we start applying Your mannerisms to our daily lives. We will stumble, we will fall, and we will sometimes fail You miserably. Praise God, that You are always there to pick up Your chosen, dust us off, encourage us, and set us back on the right path. Lord, help us all, to not just go through the motions, because we all are guilty of doing that. May we join together in unity and worship and may we work at becoming more like You, in all we say and do. Come on people, He chose us! Surely, we can choose to honor Him, everyday and in every way! Amen. Love to all!!

 

  March 7, 2020

 

 As for you, see that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father.
1 John 2:24

Father God, thank You for the teachers and preachers when we were just infants in Your word. Thank You for those who still teach and preach the truth of Your word. Help us all, Lord, to reflect on the time when we first heard and started learning about Jesus, the Cross, the Resurrection, and all the wonders in the Bible. May we, today, know that those things still remain in us, and that they are the very foundation in our lives that we live by. Remind us, Lord, of the closeness we can have, when we are in relationship, with the Father and the Son. Amen. Love to all!!

 

  March 6, 2020

 

 For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign Lord. Repent and live!

Ezekiel 18:32

Father God, You defeated death through the Resurrection. For us the living, You have made it possible for us to defeat death through confession, repentance, and  conversion. Lord, only You know when a person has truly converted, because only You know a person's heart. Help us all, Lord, that have come to You and Your altar, on that bended knee, help us to arise to a new life and a new lifestyle, so that we will be a witness for You and be an encourager to others, so that they too can see how to let go of the old person, let go of the past, and let go of the ways of the world. As we repent, Lord, help us to honor You in the way we live, help us to show it in the way we serve You, Your church, and one another. Just as Jesus, died on the cross, for our sins, You, Father, had no pleasure in that, but because of it, You do take pleasure in seeing just one lost soul, coming to know Jesus,
coming to an understanding of the sacrifice that was made, and coming to know, that without Jesus, in our life, the pleasures that we experience here on earth, will be of no comparison to what You, our Lord, has prepared for those who will confess, repent, and live!! Amen. Love to all!!
Footnote: I have a heavy burden for the lost and I need to share this with all today. Please receive this and then pray, really pray!!
Lord, we all fall short of pleasing You, but each day that we open our eyes is another day to try and get our living right. If we need to confess, help us to do so and when we do, help us to repent of the confessed sin(s) and then, by all that is holy, let the real conversion take place. Let the Spirit take over. Your life is no longer yours. You belong to God. Please help this old Pastor do this one thing for the Lord that we serve and please, take time to consider,  all that the Lord, has done for you. Amen. Love to all!!

 

 

  In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace.

Ephesians 1:7

Father God, thank You that we can be redeemed and forgiven, through the blood, please, remind us that without our repentance of our sins, we have forgotten the meaning behind the cross and there will be no redemption. His blood for our sin, His forgiveness for our repentance, our redemption, because of the cross. Only by the grace of God!! Amen. Love to all!!

 

   March 4, 2020

 

 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Ephesians 2:10

Father God, thank You for the plan You have prepared for us all to do. You are the Master- Craftsman and any work that You have done has beauty, purpose, and usefulness. In each one of us You have given us abilities that some of us have never even attempted to tap into. Lord, I would just ask that You give us all that urging to look deep within ourselves and pray until we hear You give answer to what it is that we should be doing to further Your kingdom. Help us to be sure that our hearts are being truly put under conviction and that we will have a desire, like no other, to carry out Your request. Your word says, You call some to be apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers(Eph.4:11-16). Lord, that takes obedience and courage, two things we all struggle with. Help us all, Lord, again, as Your word says, to be Your Ambassadors (2 Cor. 5:20). Help us to carry out the duties of Your ministry, by "telling someone about Jesus," by  being obedient and having the courage to not think we can't do the work, because, once again, Your word says, "God prepared in advance for us to do." Come on, people, church, let's get busy!! Amen. Love to all!!

 

 

 March 3, 2020

 

 In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.
2 Timothy 3:12

Father God, thank You, it is a pleasure to be living for You, with Your Spirit leading our way, as we tell others about You. Although we have a target on our backs and know there will be persecutions from those who don't know You, please, keep us strong in our faith and remind us, as Your word says, that without You, we can do nothing, but with You, all things are possible. Lord, we want others to see You in us and we know the more godly we live, daily,  that is possible, through You. Help us to not worry about what is going on behind us, because in knowing You, we know You have our backs. If we will stop looking back and be forgiving, forgetting, moving forward in all we say and do, that's being godly, that's doing the work of the Lord. Again, thank You. Lord! Amen. Love to all

 

 

 

 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.
2 Corinthians 4:16

Father God, to know You and have that sweet, sweet, Spirit, within us, is to be able to  commune with You everyday. To have You and Your word building us up and keeping us ready to face the world and all the ungodly things that try to invade our hearts and minds, Lord, for that we thank You. Lord, continue to renew us and keep us close to You and Your word. Amen. Love to all!!

 

 March 1,2020

 Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper,

but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy.
Proverbs 28:13

Father God, thank You for the mercy You give even when we don't deserve it. Lord, help us to come out of the dark places, where we think we are hiding our sins. You see all, nothing is hidden from You and we can only receive Your mercy when we show ourselves to You  and this world. May we, as Christians, put ourselves out there for all the world to see. Help us all, to confess our sins, to show ourselves true to You and Your word. Amen. Love to all!!

 

 "If you listen carefully to the Lord your God and do what is right in His eyes, if you pay attention to His commands and keep all His decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, who heals you.”
Exodus 15:26

Father God, thank You for Your word that teaches us right from wrong. Lord, the world we live in right now is in a time of distress. If You are trying to show us something through this sickness with the coronavirus that has stricken so many countries and people, we hear you.  Help us all, Lord, to heed what the word tells us and get right with You and do right in this world to others. Lord, I don't know if this sickness is from You, but I know you do allow things to happen, to get our attention. I would just ask, please, help us all, to come together, all countries, all people, help us all to correct our ways of living and help us to find whatever it takes to fight this sickness that is going around. Help us to pay more attention to You, Your word, right and wrong, and cure us of the sicknesses that we are being attacked by. We know You are the Great Healer and we need You, now. Amen. Love to all!!

  Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted.

Galatians 6:1

Father God, thank You for taking the penalty for our sins. Lord, we have no idea of the pain that You endured on that cross because of our sins. Strengthen us all, Lord, so that we might not sin against You and cause You more pain, and Lord,  when we do sin, as we do, may there be another Christian brother or sister, who is living in the Spirit,  loving You, loving others, enough that when they see us caught in our sin, they will be strong in Spirit, and not tempted by our sin, and be the one to help pull us away from our sin. Amen. Love to all!!

 

 

 

 

 Here is a trustworthy saying:

If we died with Him,
we will also live with Him.
2 Timothy 2:11

Father God, Your word is truth and it speaks to us all on a daily basis. It is for us to believe, or not, and it is for us to apply to our daily living, or not. Lord,  help us all, to believe that Your word is true and help us to live out our lives, honoring You. Amen. Love to all!!

 

 February 26, 2020 

 

 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

1 Corinthians 10:13

Father God, this world is so full of temptation and You know how much any one person can stand. Lord, help us, when any temptation raises its ugly head, to remember the price that was paid to keep us from letting any temptation become a stumbling block in our lives. Keep us strong in our faith, trusting, and knowing, that just as Satan tried to tempt Jesus, and by Him honoring the Father by resisting, He  maked it possible for us to do the same. Thank You, Lord, for the plan that You have purposed for those who will not let temptation rule their life. Amen. Love to all!!

 

 

 

 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
Galatians 5:16

Father God, thank You for giving us the Spirit of the Savior. Help us all, Lord, to  recognize how much we need the Spirit, living within us, to lead us, guide us, and keep us from giving into the flesh. Lord, Your word tells us that "the flesh is weak," and this world is full of way too much temptation. Help us to receive, that which You offer, that which protects the flesh, and that which offers eternal life, to those who will choose to walk in the Spirit. Amen. Love to all!!

 How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!
Psalm 133:1

Father God, thank You for showing us all, the importance of coming together as God's people. Help us all, Lord, to do as Your word teaches us, to become of one-mind, one-spirit, united in the common bond of family, God's family, living in peace with one another, loving, caring, encouraging, and supporting one another, as we do the work, You have left for us to do. Amen. Love to all!!

 

 

 

 To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in His steps.
1 Peter 2:21

Father God, thank You for how You bring  people together. When You purpose our lives to touch others lives, we don't always see or know the reasons why.

We never know where any relationship will end up, but You do. That's why Your word tells us to love others, as You loved, to show others,  hospitality, as You did.

1 Corinthians 13:1

Father God, thank You for the gift of being able to speak. Of all the languages that are in the world we need to master only one. Which is, to just speak as Jesus spoke, with love.

And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God ask of you but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to Him, to love Him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to observe the Lord’s commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good?
Deuteronomy 10:12-13

Father God, thank You that You and Your word does not change. Time, as we know it, moves on because You, the Lord, allow it to. Lord, today we start a new year and I pray that we all start it being in relationship with  You. You are the keeper of the time each one of us have been given. I pray that those who don't know you will take time, in this new year, to open themselves up to Your word and fellowship with those that do know You, and as they do, I pray they will open their hearts and minds to start a relationship with You, as Your word, in Spirit and fellowship, enter into them and they repent of their sins and start on their journey, just as Israel started years ago, seeking You and Your word. I pray for all those who receive this daily scripture to have a blessed new year in the Lord, may He watch over you all and keep you all safe and healthy and may this be a year of new beginnings, in relationships, in prayer, and in worship, with our Lord. Happy New Year to all!! Amen. Love to all!!

 Before a word is on my tongue
You, Lord, know it completely.
Psalm 139:4

Father God, with all the words that are in the Bible, 783,137(KJV), if we could retain them all, maybe, the way we speak to one another we would sound a lot like Jesus. O, how pleasing that would be to You! Lord, help us all to think before we speak. Amen! Love to all!!

Father God, thank You for being the God of truth and light. Help us all, Lord, to realize that when we go to those dark places in our lives, and we truly believe that no one can see us there, we truly forget that You see all, and then out of our lying to ourselves, we believe that those things that we do, in those dark places, we believe we have gotten away with them. Lord, forgive us for that kind of thinking and help us to remember, if we claim to be a child of God, then everything we say and do, should always be spoken in truth and done in the light, for the whole world to see.

Romans 12:18

Father God, You made it possible for all people to come to know this peace, when You sent Your Son, Jesus Christ, to die for our sins.

All that we are and all that we can become, Lord, depends on us, not just saying we know, but truly knowing and living, as You have taught us. Amen. Love to all!!

 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
1 John 4:1

Father God, thank You for the one true Spirit of Jesus. Help us all, Lord, to know and have the true Spirit of Jesus,  help us to let His Spirit guide us through the tests of those who teach and preach Your word. Lord, in this world, there are so many denominations of religious people, that come to worship You in a  church setting. Along with Your word, the Bible, the truth, man has adopted doctrines that might not go along with what You want us to  learn, obey, teach, and apply to our lives. Things are being taught today that are not from the truths of Your word and some are buying into this type of teaching. Help, Your children, Lord, to recognize these false prophets and to know, that when it all is said and done, regardless of denomination, religious beliefs, and doctrines, it will be only You and Your word, the truth, the Bible, that will stand the test of time. Bottom line for those who follow the truth, Lord, help us to accept the Spirit of Jesus, help us to let that Spirit, lead, guide, and direct us to those who preach and teach Your truth. May those who call themselves, a child of God, be found to be just that, when it comes time to see if we have passed the tests You have given us. Amen. Love to all!!

 Repent! Turn away from all your offenses; then sin will not be your downfall.
Ezekiel 18:30

Father God, thank You for Your words of wisdom. You say, "Repent!"
Lord, we all need your help on this one. As hard as the best Christian
tries, on a daily basis, You know that not one will succeed, in living a life as perfect, as the one You sent. Lord, these bodies, that You created, are imperfect. Our minds can't comprehend and hold in all the wisdom of Your teaching that helps keep us from sin. We are weak minded and get distracted by way too many things. Lord, the best any of us can do, is to pray, and when You come, as You will, then, if we are still here, that we won't be caught in our sin. Please, Lord, have mercy on the sinners, that we are.

 For the Lord Himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archayngel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.

Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.

Lord, give us the wisdom to live in Your truth and not think we can just slide by, in this life, doing whatever we please. Remind us, Lord, that if what we do is not pleasing to You, we do deceive ourselves. Lord, help us to sow only the good that we have learned from You. Amen. Love to all!!

 For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age.
Titus 2:11-12

Father God, thank You for the grace You show even when we don't deserve it. As Your children, we still haven't accepted the word "No," because we, along with the worldly, still fall short of being the godly people You want us to be. Lord, forgive us for not turning loose of the world and worldly things, help us to stop thinking we have to be in control. Our lives would be meaningless, if not for the fact that Your Son, Jesus, went to the cross, to make salvation possible for any who will accept, believe, turn loose of the world and worldly things, and give full control of our lives, as we say "Yes, " to our Savior, Jesus.

Then he called the crowd to Him along with His disciples and said: “Whoever wants to be My disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow Me.”

Lord, we know You are saddened that Your children put  worldly things before You. You want us to enjoy our lives but You also would like us to get our priorities in the right order. Please, Lord, before anyone reading this goes off, help us all to just stop for a moment.......... ...(those dots was your moment) and really look at what we pick up first thing when we start our day and ask of ourselves, do we give thanks at all to the one who supplies the day, the air, the next breath, the next heart beat? Really think about this! Help us all, Lord, to make You a part of everything we do. Help us all, Lord, to give You thanks first, then put You first, everyday, and then watch and see if the spiritual things, if they are present in our lives, start to become first in our lives. If we wake up mad at someone or something and start our day in anger, that is our cross. If we wake up with worry, stress, bitterness, hung-over, or strung-out, those are our crosses. Lord, again, You took all our sins, on the cross, help us to take the time, that is given by You, to pick-up on that, for You are the living cross that we need to be carrying. Thank You, Lord. Amen.

Revelation 3:20

Father God, thank You for Your willingness, to always be on the other side of that door. Too many times we all have probably been that person on the other side of the door, but we did not open the door because we just weren't hungry enough to want the food You were willing to offer. Lord, help us all to hear the sound of that knock and help us to be wise enough to open that door. Help us all, Lord, to realize that the meal You have prepared to share with us, comes from the body and the blood. Give us all, Lord, a willing Spirit, to not only open the door, but may we be open, to receive all that You offer. Amen. Love to all!!

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.
1 Peter 5:6
Father God, You have shown us all the greatest example of humility, through Your Son, Jesus. Help us all, Lord, to show the same humility to others, as we live as Jesus lived. Amen. Love to all!!
 

 

 Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
1 Timothy 6:12

Father God, You give each one of us many opportunities to come to You in faith. Lord, if only we could refresh our minds, daily, to the time we made that decision of acceptance. Help us, Lord, to never forget that our life is not ours, we belong to You, and all we do and say, should be a, daily, reflection of the Spirit that lives within us. By our faith in You, Lord, we can live the life we have been called to, as we look forward to our eternal life with You. Amen. Love to all!

 How good and pleasant it is
when God’s people live together in unity!
Psalm 133:1

Father God, thank You, for how You are the driving force that brings people together in all the places You need them to be. You have a plan and purpose for those who choose to follow and be a part of Your ministry. You gift us and instill in us the things we need to do in order to carry Your message to others. You give us all seasons in the places we can be used best and You have taught us how to live in peace and unity with one another. Some seasons are short lived, for whatever reasons, but, Lord, when You truly see the need for those who serve to be in the right place, with the right people, for all the right reasons, You bring them together and You teach them the unity of being "one in Spirit." Lord, thank You for that, and thank You for those who grab hold of that Spirit
and regardless of man's issues and the worlds issues, they come together in unity, they become a church, Your church, a unified people, a family, and through the coming together "in one Spirit," they start doing Your work. Thank You, Lord, for the Spirit. Amen. Love to all!!

 My salvation and my honor depend on God; He is my mighty rock, my refuge.

Psalm 62:7

Father God, all that we are and all that we can be depends on whether or not we have chosen to have a relationship with You.

 But from everlasting to everlasting the Lord’s love is with those who fear Him, and His righteousness with their children’s children— with those who keep His covenant and remember to obey His precepts.
Psalm 103:17-18

Father God, for generations Your love has not changed for Your children. Lord, forgive those of this generation that are unrighteous and that no longer fear You and no longer obey Your precepts

(commands). Help us all, Lord, to renew the covenants of old as we renew our daily walks with You. Amen. Love to all!!

 

 

 

 For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age.
Titus 2:11-12

Father God, thank You for the salvation that You offer. Lord, remind us that when we say "Yes" to that salvation, it is then, that we start living
a self-controlled, upright, godly life, learning how to say "No" to the ungodly and unholy things that keeps us from gaining our salvation. Amen. Love to all!!

 

As goods increase,
so do those who consume them.
And what benefit are they to the owners
except to feast their eyes on them?
Ecclesiastes5:11
Father God, You never said You did not want us to have, but we need to understand that all we have is Yours, and all You have created is Yours, and if we do not take in the Spirit of Jesus, we will not have a place in all that You own. Amen. Love to all!!

 In peace I will lie down and sleep,
for You alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.
Psalm 4:8

Father God, thank You, that when we start to believe and come to know You, we can lay down and sleep in the safety of Your hands, with the assurance that we are a child of God. Help us all, Lord, to know this peace that surpasses all understanding. Amen. Love to all!!

 

 

 

 Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.

2 Thessalonians 3:16

Father God, thank You for the peace that is available to all who will believe in Your Son, Jesus Christ. Lord, You have given us all more than we deserve but, some still don't live in peace because they haven't found Jesus. Help us, Lord, to find the Jesus of peace as we learn to live as He lived. Amen. Love to all!!

 

 

Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.
Matthew 26:41

Father God, You created mankind with flesh and bone and You gave each one a soul. As we live in the flesh we have many choices and decisions to make in life and the evil of Satan and the world can be a big distraction, when it comes to being tempted in the flesh. But, You, Lord, give us a way to not let the temptation pull us in. You gave us, Your Son, Jesus Christ, and through His Spirit, we can choose to have Him live within the fleshly body, helping us to fight off Satan and the things of the world, when the flesh is weak. Thank You, Lord, for planning everything the way You have for all of mankind. Help us to pray to You, knowing that You hear our prayers and knowing that the Spirit will strengthen us to stay focused on Jesus, as we watch and wait for His return. Amen. Love to all!!
 

 

 

"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?”
Matthew 7:3

Father God, help us all to be so busy seeking You and looking into Your word that we have no time to be looking at what others are doing or not doing. Lord, keep us from trying to find flaws in others and remind us, that when we act like that, we are usually trying to make ourselves feel better about our own flaws. Help us, Lord, to be real with You as You teach us how to be real with others. Amen. Love to all!!

If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
2 Chronicles7:14

 

Father God, help us all to do just as Your word says, become humble, pray constantly, and seek You and Your word, on a daily basis. Help us, Lord, to let the way we think, act, talk, walk, and treat others, be a reflection of our learning Your ways and honoring You in the way we live our lives. Amen. Love to all!! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pride brings a person low,
but the lowly in spirit gain honor.
Proverbs 29:23

Father God, when it comes to pride, You give  us all two choices, we can be proud that we have chosen to be a child of Yours, or, we can boast that we've got this (life)! Lord, please, help us to never let our pride make us think we know what's best for our own lives better than You do. Help us to taste that sweet Spirit, and let the Spirit, show us how to  honor You.
Amen. Love to all!!

Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
1 Corinthians 15:58
Father God, thank You for the privilege to be able to do the work of Your ministry. To be able to share You, Your word, and tell others our story. You give us all the same opportunities when it comes to serving You and others. We can choose, as the old saying goes, "to stand for something, or stand for nothing at all." Lord, help us all, to realize that being a laborer in Your ministry, taking a stand for what is right, what is godly, what is going to make a difference, for us and others, that is what is pleasing to the God that loves His children. Amen. Love to all!!
Please, see how appropriate God's word is for everyday that He gives us. Have a safe and Happy Labor Day!!

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
Galatians 2:20
Father God, thank You that we have the choice, to be crucified, with You, and come to understand the true meaning of it. To live in this fleshly body, but to have the  Spirit of the Lord, leading our thoughts and actions, only a personal relationship with You can do that. Help us, Lord, to live for the Spirit, that is within us, as we do the work, of our Lord, God, and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen. Love to all!!

 Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.

Matthew 24:42

Father God, thank You for the promise and hope You left us with. Help us to stay focused, moving forward, forgetting about the day we are living in, because that next day, if You so choose, could be that final day. You said You would come again, Lord, we pray that when You do, Your children will be found, busy, doing Your work. Lord, help us all, to live and walk with our heads up, at all times, watching and being patient and ready to rejoice at Your coming. Amen. Love to all!!

The righteous person may have many troubles,

but the Lord delivers him from them all.

Father God, thank You for always being there to deliver us from troubles when they come into our lives. Try as we may, Lord, You know it is a struggle to be righteous in Your eyes all the time. Help us all, Lord, to not take the grace and mercy that You show, when we are unrighteous, for granted. Lord, strengthen us in our daily walks as we seek You and Your guidance. Amen. Love to all!!

 

 

By day the Lord directs his love,
at night his song is with me—
a prayer to the God of my life.
Psalm 42:8

Father God,
Thank You, for being the light of love that leads us through our daily journey of getting to You.

Thank You, Lord, that we can arise each day rested, refreshed, renewed, safe, and loved, ready to walk in the Spirit, helping and showing others the way. Amen. Love to all!!

It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in humans.
Psalm 118:8

Father God, You teach us to love one another for who they are and accept one another just as they are. Lord, too many times we try to change people to think like we think and if we succeed, then, we can accept them. When that happens we have gained a person's trust but, we have not done it in a godly manner. So, when we enter into any kind of relationship without You being in it, we open up ourself to mistakes. First, You got left out, second, we put our trust in self (man), what do we know? We are lost without having You, the Savior, involved in our lives and us putting our trust in You and everything we do and say. Help us all, Lord, to trust You, to put You first, to treat others with a Christ-like attitude, and when we accept others into our lives, Lord, help both parties to know You and to put their trust in You, as we build our relationships with You and others. Amen. Love to all!!

Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
Hebrews 4:16
Father God, anytime we are in Your house, Lord, help us to come in humility and honor You. Lord, You can be found anywhere, anytime, and You are in all things. Help us all, Lord, to be confident in our seeking of You and, Lord, even when we are not very deserving of Your mercy and grace, show us what a loving God You are. As Your word says, "If you seek Me, you will find Me!" Lord, with the confidence that You give, may we never be afraid to approach You. Amen. Love to all!!

The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.
Romans 8:6
Father God, You created the human body for Your plan and purpose. Our bodies are the biblical vessel, temple, and tent.  Lord, it is You who uses the vessel as Your hands, feet, and mouths, to carry and spread Your message. You use the temple when we come back to You and Your house, the church, and as we worship You, You nourish and fill us with the word of truth, cleanse us of our sins, and ready us for the work to be done. In the tent, we live and we dwell day by day, using the minds You have given us, making choices that affect our eternal lives. Help us all, Lord, to not let the mind of the flesh, man's way, to overpower the mind of the Spirit, Your way. Lord, You have given us free will, as well, please, help us to choose eternal life and peace with You. Amen. Love to all!!

He must become greater; I must become less.
John 3:30
Father God, You must be priority one, above all things, in this life. Lord, putting You before anything else is what helps us to realize the true cycle of life. When we think we don't need You in our lives and that we have got it all figured out, Lord, please, get our attention somehow, stop us in our tracks, make us realize that without You all we will do is  make a mess of our lives. We want to be first, we want to think we are better than everybody else, we walk around thinking we are right and everyone else is wrong. Lord, please, help us to humble ourselves before You and start putting You first in our lives. It is only then that we might realize why we must be less and why You are greater. Forgive us all, Lord, for thinking the way we do. Amen. Love to all!!

He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.

Ecclesiastes3:11
Father God, how awesome it is that everything You have touched has it's own special beauty. All that You have created for mankind is more than we deserve. Help us all, to find the beauty in the trees, the sky, the mountains, all that You have created, but most of all, help us to find the beauty in all people. You have given that to us all, be it the outward beauty or the internal beauty, we all posses that special beauty in our hearts. Your word says, we are made in Your "image." Lord, help us to be a reflection of that beautiful image You are, so that the world can see us, as who You want us to be, Your children, loving one another, sharing in the beauty of all Your creation together, and showing others the way to prepare for the eternal things that awaits Your children. Amen. Love to all!!
