Love One Another

Here's a great verse to end the day with. Hope you've had a good week and things are going well. Stay positive and love one another, just as your heavenly Father loves you.

Titus 3:4-7 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.

Today's Prayer 1/9/13

Dear Heavenly Father, all the glory be unto you. Only you are worthy of my praise. You are the architect of the universe and you knew me even before I was born. You are my almighty Lord and I praise you today.

Lord, today give my family and I peace. I pray for us to have a sincere spirit of integrity, honesty and authority over the evil spirits that we will encounter. Lord, let us have grace in dealing with others today and let them see the Holy Spirit which lives inside of us.

Father, do not let me get distracted today with things I cannot control, rather help me be diligent in my work. Let my work today glorify you and please you even if nobody else is watching me. Let my thoughts be pure and my actions be righteous.

Lord, guide me in my path, for I do not know the day in which I will leave this earth to be with you, yet I know that you have placed me here for a reason. Give me a spirit of obedience as I go about my day.

Thank you for your grace and for salvation. Those gifts are just several of the many that you give me everyday. It is humbling to know that you do so much for me.

Thank you for your son Jesus, who died on the cross for me, suffered for my sins and rose out of the grave as the almighty God. I confess that Jesus is the only way to reach you and that He is my savior.

Give me today exactly what I need and thank you for my life. I anxiously await the day in which I am in heaven with you, but until then I will worship you here and do what I can to bring others to know you better. Amen.
 

Jesus Gives You Rest

Someone needed to hear these words today.

Matthew 11:28-30 “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.”

This is an amazing promise from Jesus. He knows us so well. He knows we worry, stress, grieve and are anxious. He provides us a solution to our problems.

He is amazing.

Today's Prayer 1/8/13

Dear Almighty Father, thank you for another day here on earth. You are the ultimate authority for all things seen and unseen.

God, I boldly bring my request before you today. I will wait expectantly for your guidance and answer. I pray your will over my life.

Give me courage today as I confront my adversaries and challenges. Be my rear-guard as I charge forward. Give me integrity as I deal with those that are against me, let me glorify you.

Thank you for my salvation and for your Son. Through Him I am saved. He is the way and truth. Protect my path today. In Jesus name amen.


Ask God Boldly

What is the biggest need or desire you have? Bring those request boldly to God and lay them at His feet. Then wait expectantly for His answer. Nothing is too big or impossible for the creator of the universe!

Psalm 66:19-20 but God has surely listened and has heard my prayer. Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me!


God's Love For You

There is so much truth and power in Ephesians 2:4-5. In 2 verses Paul covers God's love, His mercy, His Son, what separated us from Him and His grace which gives us salvation.

Ladies & Gentleman, it humbles me to know just a fraction of how much He loves me and you.

Your life and purpose on this earth is to glorify Him and to spread His word to all the nations. All our problems, challenges, and grievances are nothing more than a blink of the eye. Here today, gone tomorrow. His love endures forever.

He's given you so much and at your fingertips is the creator of the universe. Don't look around you to try and measure your success, look inside your heart. Your treasures are stored in heaven, not in your home, in your garage, in your bank account nor in your relationships. Develop a passion for the pursuit of your creator.

Thank you Jesus!

Ephesians 2:4-5 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.

Today's Prayer 1/7/13

Father in Heaven, only you are worthy of my praise. Only you are holy and just. Thank you for your love and your patience for me.

Thank you for today. Lord I give today back to you as I will glorify you with my actions, words and thoughts. Today is a gift, not a guarantee.

Lord give me strength to take advantage of the opportunities you place in front of me. Help me be diligent in my work, honest in my relationships and faithful in your purpose for my life. Father, let the spirit of integrity be my guide today.

Thank you for your son Jesus who gives me eternal salvation. He paid the ransom to give me a way to you. He brought me out of captivity and holds me blameless to you.

Give me today exactly what I need and restore all that has been lost. You are my rock and redeemer. In Jesus name, Amen.
