Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life

Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or st ore away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life Matthew 6:25-27 Father God, thank you so much for your promises, for your words of comfort and strength. Help me to be strong and faithful, O Lord, with a positive and hopeful attitude when facing challenges in life. Please fill me with your joy and peace and continue to remind me that I am important to you and not to worry about the future, but to trust in you always, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

The Lord is my rock

“The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; The God of my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, My stronghold and m y refuge; My Savior, You save me from violence.

When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord your God.

What is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?

Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory in the heavens. Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger. When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them? Psalm 8:1-4 Creator of heaven and earth, how majestic is your name in all the earth. The heavens declare your majesty, your greatness and your power, O God. When I consider this I do wonder why would you care about each one of us on this earth, who are we, that you were willing to send your precious Son to die for us? I may not understand, but I thank you for being our loving, merciful and forgiving Father, who loves us unconditionally and who is ready to embrace us if we come to you. May you keep me close to you and never let go of me, please co

May God encourage your hearts and strengthen you

Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst

Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” John 4:13-14 I want to drink from the living water that leads to eternal life, O Lord. I ask that you give me thirst for your Word, that you give me the desire, not only to drink it, but to share it with others. Please fill my spirit, cleanse my heart and help me to be completely yours and to follow the footsteps of my Savior, Jesus, I pray in His Holy Name. Amen

The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear?

The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the defense of my life; Whom shall I dread?

While we were still sinners, Christ died for us

You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless,Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love f or us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:6-8 Thank you so much for your amazing sacrifice, O Lord, for loving me so much that you were willing to die for me, a sinner. Please give me hunger for your Word, Lord, and the desire to share it with others that they too will come to know you and love as I do, I pray. Amen

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:12-13 Father God, life is not perfect, we all struggle with difficult circumstances that seem more than we can bare at the time, but we are so thankful to have your promises.

Behold, I stand at the door and knock

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. Revelation 3:20-21 Open my eyes and ears, Lord, that I may hear your voice, that I may open the door of my heart to you and the things of your heavenly kingdom.

Yet not what I will, but what you will. Mark 14:35-36 Father God, so many times I wished I didn't have to face the challenges I have to face in my life, sometimes they seem to be more than I can bear. I pray that if it is for your glory to remove the challenges in my life, please do so, but if it fulfills your purpose, let it be your will and not mine.  I surrender my life to you and give you control because I know you are a faithful and loving Father. May your Holy Spirit give me wisdom, strength and direction, as I put my trust in you, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Faith comes from hearing the word of God

“Lord, who has believed our message?” Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of God.
