Father,
We thank you for allowing us the opportunity to strengthen our grace and mercy muscles, as we learn to love those who don’t love us. Help us to see past the person’s pain and see them through your eyes. May we look for opportunities to heal, restore and love. We know that it may not be easy, but with you all things are possible. Lead us in your perfect way, in the name of our Wayshower, Jesus Christ. Amen.
14 “You are the light of the world.(A) A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.(B)16 In the same way, let your light shine before others,(C) that they may see your good deeds(D) and glorify(E) your Father in heaven.

Father God,
We do bless you and glorify your holy name. We thank you for living inside of us. As Christians, since the day of Pentecost, we have become the new dwelling place for your Holy Spirit. May we be a worthy carrying vessel of your Light. Purify our hearts and lead us away from anything that would compromise the message of hope, love and eternal life through Jesus Christ. May our Light shine brightly for you. In Jesus name, Amen.
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
How can we say, “Thank You?” You gave so much, just to love us and have an eternal relationship with us. May we never take your perfect love for granted. May our lives be aLove Letter back to you, as we continually worship you in all we do in thoughts, words, and deeds. We know that nothing we do will ever measure to up to the Amazing Graceyou have shown, but as worshipers, we want our lives to reflect our gratitude. May others be drawn to you, through our testimony of your Great Gracetoward us. In the name of your most perfect Gift, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer. Amen.
28 Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. 29 He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. 30 Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; 31 but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Father God,
We bless your name and celebrate your majesty. We know that when we look to you, we can rest in the fullness of your holiness. You are our source and supply. Your Word and your comforting Spirit lead us to a path and place of peace. Wrap your arms around us, as we run to you. We give glory, honor and praise to Jesus, for allowing us access to the Throne Room and holy of holies, because of his sacrificial, live-giving, blood offering. It is in Him alone that we lift this prayer to you. Amen
9 When they reached the place God had told him about,(A) Abraham built an altar(B) there and arranged the wood(C) on it. He bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar,(D) on top of the wood. 10 Then he reached out his hand and took the knife(E) to slay his son.(F)11 But the angel of the Lord(G) called out to him from heaven,(H) “Abraham! Abraham!”(I)
12 “Do not lay a hand on the boy,” he said. “Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God,(K) because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son.(L)”
13 Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram[a] caught by its horns.(M) He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son.(N)

Our Prayer
Father,
We know that there is nothing too hard for you. We trust You with all our heart. We know that trust can sometimes be scary, especially if we are used to thinking that we are in control of our lives. May our love and faith, in and for you, overwhelm any fear we may have to be able to trust you. Just like Abraham put his love for you first, so will we. We posture our lives, Lord, to be in a continuous mode of prayer that exemplifies your will to being done on earth as it is in heaven. Holy Spirit, walk with us in this journey of faith. We know that God will provide according to His perfect will. May we be at peace with the will of God for our lives. In the precious name of Jesus. Amen.
I pray your day started with joy and thanksgiving to the Lord. Everything may not be the way we envisioned, but that never changes who God is and will always be. There is none greater than our God Jehovah.
Jeremiah 10:6-7
New International Version
6 No one is like you,(A) Lord; you are great,(B) and your name is mighty in power. 7 Who should not fear(C) you, King of the nations?(D) This is your due. Among all the wise leaders of the nations and in all their kingdoms, there is no one like you.

Our Prayer
Lord Jehovah,
We thank you for being truly the greatest of all time. There is none like you. Whether our days are good or bad, we know that you are God alone. Thank you, for always being with us. Our vows to you are forever. In Jesus name. Amen.
I pray that you are growing closer in your relationship with the Lord every day. Intimacy through worship, with the Lord, is so essential. I could not write these devotional messages, each week, without hearing from the Lord. I know that I am accountable for each word I write, so being sensitive to the Lord’s voice is a must.
1 Samuel 3:7-10
New International Version
7 Now Samuel did not yet know(A) the Lord: The word(B) of the Lord had not yet been revealed(C) to him.
8A third time the Lord called, “Samuel!” And Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, “Here I am; you called me.”
Then Eli realized that the Lord was calling the boy. 9 So Eli told Samuel, “Go and lie down, and if he calls you, say, ‘Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.’” So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
10 The Lord came and stood there, calling as at the other times, “Samuel! Samuel!(D)”
Then Samuel said, “Speak, for your servant is listening.”
Our Prayer
Heavenly Father,
We live and move by every word that comes from you. Help us to continue to posture ourselves for worship, so that we can hear from you. May we become more sensitive each day to your voice, so that we, like Samuel, can respond with, “Speak Lord, for your servant is listening.” In the name of Jesus we do pray, Amen.
Today is a day of rejoicing. Yes, I know what the world looks like right now, but my joy comes from the Lord. I am nourished and full, from being fed straight from God’s hand. I encourage you, as much as you may want to move or shift, do not move unless the Lord goes before you to prepare a way. Stay planted. I love you and I am continually praying for your strength and faithfulness in the Lord.
Psalm 1:1-3
Amplified Bible
Book One
The Righteous and the Wicked Contrasted.
1 [a]Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked [following their advice and example], Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit [down to rest] in the seat of [b]scoffers (ridiculers). 2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And on His law [His precepts and teachings] he [habitually] meditates day and night. 3 And he will be like a tree firmly planted [and fed] by streams of water, Which yields its fruit in its season; Its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he does, he prospers [and comes to maturity].
Our Prayer
Spirit of the Living God,
Let us be so saturated in YOU that when its time for our appointed season we would bear GOOD FRUIT. Let us be so saturated in your Word, your Will, and your Way that our FRUIT has no choice but to prosper.
Let it be, according to your WORD, in Jesus name we do pray. Amen.
Every once in a while, I will share past posts that are still timely and true. Today’s particular post is from 2015. Before I started this blog, I would share my heart on Facebook. Many years have past, but the eternal truth of who God Is – is timeless. God bless you all.
Be Encouraged
No one said the Christian lifestyle was easy. Some days, my flesh wants one thing and my spirit wants another.
Some days, I have a spiritual temper-tantrum, because I want MY WAY.
However, I always remember the abundant peace that is waiting for me, when I surrender my will to God’s way.
Truthfully, some days I cry, but I count it ALL JOY.
God has proven Himself/Itself to be faithful to my heart’s cry.
Usually, when my flesh is craving something, its because there is an area of my life that I have not placed on the “ALTAR”.
Once I give up the struggle and take my hands off, GOD gives me more in return than what my heart longed for initially.
His way comes wrapped in perfect timing and perfect peace.
Be still and wait on the Lord… He knows ALL ABOUT IT!!! Be Encouraged. Dont Give Up.
Our Prayer
Heaven Father,
We love you and lift you higher than anyone or anything in our lives. We know that your timing and your ways are perfect. We pray for a heart like yours, so that we can be in tune with your precious Holy Spirit. Grant us patience, as we wait in worship and service, for your perfect will to be done. We lift this prayer to you, in the name of your most beautiful Gift, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
This morning, I woke up and began to have my prayer time. I opened my mouth to pray and I could not stop saying, “Thank you, Lord” over and over again. The flood gates of joy swept over me. I began to get overwhelmed with emotion when each “thank you” seemed to lift me off the ground, in the Spirit. What a precious way to start the morning. Family, we serve an amazing and perfect God. Be sure to give thanks as often as you remember.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
New International Version
16 Rejoice always,(A)17 pray continually,(B)18 give thanks in all circumstances;(C) for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
Thank You Lord
Our Prayer
Father God,
We lift high and bless your holy and matchless name. There is none like you, Lord, in all the earth, above the earth, or under the Lord. You alone deserve the glory, honor and praise. Father, we say, “Thank You,” this morning. You have covered and protected us from dangers, seen and unseen, that we didn’t even know about. We say, “Thank You.” You gave us favor, even when we were not the most qualified. We say, “Thank you.” Your love for us is never-ending, because you see us through the blood of your Son Jesus Christ. It is in His name that we lift up this Prayer of Thanksgiving to you. Amen, Amen and Amen.
