For the word of God is alive and powerful

For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. Hebrews 4:12 Lord, your word is truly living and powerful, it penetrates our hearts and minds and it applies to us today as much as it did to your children thousands of years ago. Give me hunger for your Word, O God, give me wisdom and understanding that I may use it to bring hope to others. May your wonderful, powerful and living word be a guiding light in my daily walk with you, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life?

Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest? Luke 12:25 Merciful Lord, you are our righteous Savior and nothing is out of your control and I know that you already have a plan for my life. Help me not to worry about anything because you are already at work, even if I cannot see it. I bring all my worries and fears at your feet and ask you to fill me with your heavenly peace, O God, and keep reminding me that you alone will fight all my battles for me and give me victory, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

For the joy of the Lord is your strength

This day is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength. Nehemiah 8:10 Lord, you are my rock, my strength and my shield, a fortress of salvation and my heart trusts in your Holy Name. Bless me with your loving kindness, O God, keep in safe and close to you and give me peace knowing that you have everything under your control. May your joy give me strength to face whatever challenge comes my way, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord

“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.” Jeremiah 17:7-8 Father God, thank you for all the blessings you have already given me, thank you for the blessings that are still yet to be received. Help me put all my hope and trust in your unfailing and everlasting love, O God, may my soul rest without fear or worry knowing that you are still sitting on the throne no matter what goes on around me, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous

​ Whoever would love life and see good days must keep their tongue from evil  and their lips from deceitful speech.  They must turn from evil and do good; they must seek peace and pursue it.  For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer,  but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.   1   Peter   3 :10-12 Loving Father, I thank you for being so patient with me, I ask that you help me seek peace and pursue it.  to love deeply, be compassionate, humble and obedient that I may inherit your blessings that can never perish, spoil or fade.  Guard my lips, O Lord, and take away anything that may hinder my prayers  so that you never turn your eyes away from me, I pray in Jesus' name.  Amen
