Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord

Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord, who walks in his ways! You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands; you shall be blessed, and it shall be well with you. Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your children will be like olive shoots around your table. Behold, thus shall the man be blessed who fears the Lord. Psalm 128:1-4 Father God, keep my feet on the path that leads to eternal life, walking in the light of your grace. May your Spirit live in me, O Lord, may I walk righteously and faithfully in your ways, your principles and in your love, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Forgive one another

Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. Ephesians 4:29-32 Merciful and forgiving Lord in heaven, thank you for forgiving all my sins, thank you for not giving up on me even though I keep failing you. My spirit is willing to do your will, but my flesh is weak, so I ask that you continue to work in my heart, that you continue to mold me and change me, O God. Give me a tender and forgiving heart, help me put away all bitterness, malice, unkindness and anger away so that I may be able to worship and honor you, Father God, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

God’s Love Never Fails

God’s love never fails. Praise the Lord of lords. God’s love never fails. Only God works great miracles. God’s love never fails. With wisdom he made the sky. God’s love never fails. The Lord stretched the earth over the ocean. God’s love never fails.He made the bright lights in the sky. God’s love never fails. He lets the sun rule each day. God’s love never fails. He lets the moon and the stars rule each night. God’s love never fails. Psalm 136 :2-9 Thank you Father God, for your unfailing love, for allowing me to know you as my God and my Lord and for giving me the opportunity to be your child. May my life reflect my gratitude for your love, and may my love be unconditional and unfailing for others as yours is for me, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

The eye is the lamp of the body

The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness! Matthew 6:22-23 Keep my eyes from evil, O God, may my mind and heart be filled with your Spirit and may your light shine in my life in everything I do and see, I pray in Jesus name. Amen

My God will supply all my needs

And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen. Philippians 4:19 Merciful Lord in heaven, blessed be your name in all the earth, I thank y ou for being my provider, for supplying all of my needs according to the riches of your glory.

I will be with you

But now thus says the Lord,he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. For I am the Lord your God. Isaiah 43:1-3 Holy Father in heaven, thank you for giving me peace knowing that whatever happens in my life I can rest assured in the strength and power of the one who created me and called me by my name. I know that in the most difficult times in my life you are standing close to me, lifting me up in your holy hands because I belong to you. When I pass through rough waters, strengthen my faith, O God, so that I can feel the loving and sustaining presence of your Holy Spirit, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Rejoice in the Lord

But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them ever sing for joy, and spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may exult in you. For you bless the righteous, O Lord; you cover him with favor as with a shield. Psalm 5:11-12 Father God, I take refuge in you and rejoice knowing that you are the Lord over my life, my King and my loving Father. Let your light of joy shine before me, O Lord, shield me from unrighteousness, spread your protection over me and fill my heart with the joy of your salvation, and may the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Cast all your anxieties on Him

Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith 1 Peter 5:6-9 Father God, I humbly come to your throne of grace to give you all my cares, struggles, hurts, pains, disappointments, worries and anxieties and I cast them at your feet. I ask that you take them away from me, O Lord, that you strengthen me and fill me with courage to face whatever path you have prepared for me. May I stand firm in faith and rest knowing that everything is in your hands and you will take care of them according to your will, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

The Lord is merciful and gracious

The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. He will not always chide, nor will he keep his anger forever. He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us. Psalms 103:8-12 Merciful and forgiving Lord in heaven, thank you for your steadfast love, thank you for not repaying me according to my actions, but according to your mercy and grace. I will never understand your amazing love for me, Father, but I know I don't need to understand in order to receive your blessings. Help me, O God, to be obedient to your will, to walk the path you have set before me in love and trusting in you always, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Praise the Lord

Praise him, sun and moon, praise him, all you shining stars! Praise him, you highest heavens, and you waters above the heavens! Let them praise the name of the Lord! For the commanded and they were created. And he established them forever and ever; he gave a decree, and it shall not pass away. Praise the Lord from the earth, you great sea creatures and all deeps. Psalm 148:3-7 I will praise your Name for ever, O God, creator of all the earth and everything in it. Blessed be your name, O Lord, beautiful are the works of your hands and great is your love for us all.

Do everything without complaining or arguing

Do everything without complaining or arguing, even in tough situations; always remembering that with God and a Christlike attitude, all things are possible. Do everything unto the Lord and focus on the blessings you have already received so that you will become a blameless and pure child of God. Philippians 2:14-15 Father in heaven, blessed be your Name in all of the earth, thank you Lord for another day of life, another day to worship you and see your amazing blessings. May I always be thankful for what you have given me and may I remember to do everything without complaining or arguing, but instead being thankful that I am blessed by just being alive. Amen

Peace I give to you

Peace I leave with you;  my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you.  Let not your hearts be troubled, neither  let them be afraid.   You heard me say to you,  ‘I am going away, and I will come to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I  am going to the Father, for  the Father is greater than I. John 14:27-28 My God and my Lord, creator of heaven and earth, I humbly ask you to give me the peace that only you can give, the peace that surpasses all human understanding. I ask that you guard my heart, O God, take away any anxiety, fear, and worry in my heart as I put all my trust in you. Let me rejoice knowing that I am in your holy hands, and that you are already taking care of things for me, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

The word of the Lord remains forever

Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere brotherly love, love one another earnestly from a pure heart, since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God;  for “All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls, but the word of the Lord remains forever.” And this word is the good news that was preached to you. 1 Peter 1:22-25 Thank you for reminding me that everything in this world and what it has to offer is perishable, O Lord, but your Word and love will stand forever. Purify my heart, Father God, may I not devote my life to this world and the rewards of this world, but devote it to your kingdom and for the eternal reward that you have prepared for me. May I be obedient to your Word and may I bring glory and honor to your Name in all I do, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Keep yourselves in the love of God

But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. And have mercy on those who doubt; save others by snatching them out of the fire; to others show mercy with fear Jude 1:20-23 Thank you, O God, for the promise of eternal life, for showing me your amazing love that I may share it with others. Merciful Father, fill my heart with your Spirit, that I may continue to walk in your love. Help me be forgiving and merciful as you are and use me for your kingdom, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace

So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart. Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies; you know that they breed quarrels. And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness. 2 Timothy 2:22-25 Father God, may the desire of my heart be to do your will. To pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace. Fill me with your love, O Lord, that I may walk in the footsteps of Christ, that I may be able to walk in love, with a gentle, humble and pure heart, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised

Oh sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth! Sing to the Lord, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples! For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised. Psalm 96:1-4 Great are the works of your hands, O Lord, you are Holy, merciful and worthy to be praised. I will declared your glory, your marvelous works, and tell of  your salvation day to day. Your compassion for your people is something we will never fully comprehend, your mercy, love and faithfulness to all generations endure forever, blessed be your name for ever. Amen 

My God is an Awesome God

My God is an awesome God, He cares for each and everyone one of us, nothing is too big or to small for Him! If you are going through hard times, or are anxious about something, remember that we are not alone, we have an awesome God who is ready to take care of us, if we allow Him to do so. Let Him show you His mighty power, His loving grace and His amazing love for you, by allowing Him into your heart and let Him take full control of your life. "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Matthew 6:25

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted

The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. The righteous person may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all Psalm 34:17-19     Thank you Lord, for being close to me when I am brokenhearted, when I am scared and lost my way. Thank you for reminding me that you are there right beside me. May I feel your loving arms wrapped around me today, may my spirit be lifted knowing that my life is in the hands of the God of impossibilities and that your love for me is unconditional and everlasting, I pray in Jesus' name.

Wait upon the Lord

I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living! Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord! Psalm 27:13-14 God does not cause trials, but allows us to face them to grow in faith and change us. He lets us go through such times because it’s the only way prepare us to meet His plan for our lives; to shape up our character and attitudes. But He will never forsake or leave us, He will not allow us to walk through a trial on our own. He wants to renew our strength at the end of the trial period. Even when you don't see and end to your trial, wait upon the Lord, be strong and take courage because He is not idle, He is working things out for you, He will never lave you. Thank you, Father God, for carrying us through trials, for your promises that you will never leave or forsake us. Though we walk through dark valleys, let us remember that you are at our side. Strengthen us, O Lord, fill our hea

Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:1-2 Father God, help me keep my eyes on Jesus, who endured the cross for my sins, but is now sitting at your right hand. Help me put aside anything that I may be clinging to that keeps me away from you, O Lord. Let me run with endurance the race you have set before me, and be obedient and faithful to your will, even when I don't understand it, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him

The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them. Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him! Oh, fear the Lord, you his saints, for those who fear him have no lack! Psalm 34:7-9 I take refuge in you, my God and my creator, and trust in you with all of my heart. I thank you for being my provider, my comforter, for all the amazing blessings you have given me and for showing me how good and merciful you are. May your angels continue to encamp around me and my loved ones, may your spirit fill our hearts and strengthen us and may we continue to see your goodness in our lives as we put our trust in you, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised

I love you, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised. Psalm 18:2-3 You are my strength, O God, and I take refuge in the mighty shadow of your wings. You have given me the shield of your salvation and guided my path, you are my stronghold, Lord, and I will trust in you always. Please continue to guide and protect me, continue to walk by my side, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved

If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. For the Scri pture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Romans 10:-13 Thank you Lord, for the riches that you have bestowed upon me, for leading me to you and allowing me get to know you as I do. I call upon the name of my Lord, Jesus, for forgiveness of my sins and for a new heart and mind. May my heart's desire and prayer be for all to be saved and for me to spread the good news of salvation as you have commanded me to do, I pray. Amen

Wisdom from Above

For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.  James 3:16-18   Fill me with your Spirit, O God, do not allow jealousy and selfish ambition exist in my heart. May my life produce good fruits and bring you honor, may my heart be gentle and full of mercy, just as yours is, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Draw near to God

“God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.” Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. James 4:6-8 Gracious Father in heaven, blessed be your name in all of the earth. I humbly come to you asking for your grace, asking you to guide me back to you if I have drifted away from you. I ask forgiveness of my sins and I ask that you restore unto me the joy of your salvation. Fill me with your Spirit, O God, help me get close to you and never let me go. Help me resist the temptations of this world and anything that draws me away from you, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Trust in the Lord

When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.  What can flesh do to me? Psalm 56:3-4 I claim your promises, O God, I pray that you will fill me with your love and comfort.  Help me remember that no matter what happens in my life, you are in control and you will take care of me, even if I don't see it. I put all my faith and trust in you, my God and Savior. Amen

God's Love is Everlasting

But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him, and his righteousness to children's children, to those who keep his covenant and remember to do his commandments. The Lord has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all. Bless the Lord, O you his angels, you mighty ones who do his word,    obeying the voice of his word! Bless the Lord, all his hosts, his ministers, who do his will! Bless the Lord, all his works, in all places of his dominion. Bless the Lord, O my soul! Psalm 103:17-22 Thank you Lord, for your everlasting love, for your promises and for all of the works of your hand. May the desire of my heart be to be obedient to your word, your voice and your commandments. I ask that you continue to walk with me, bless me and bless my loved ones, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

We all have sinned

But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus Romans 3:21-24 Lord, thank you for your amazing gift of salvation and for the forgiveness of sins. I admit that I have sinned and I know that I need your forgiveness. I humbly come to you today asking you to cleanse me from all my sins and unrighteousness according to the riches of your grace. I ask that you change my heart, O Lord, make me a new creation and mold me into the person you want me to be, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen.

Nothing will be able to separate us from the love of God

Christ Jesus is the one who died more than that, who was raised who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? As it is written,“For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.” No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.  Romans 8:34-39 Thank you for your unconditional love, O Lord, thank you for enduring the cross for me and for the forgiveness of my sins. Please continue to remind me daily that nothing I have ever done and will do can ever separate me from your amazing love, I pr
