The old has gone, the new is here!

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation. 2 Corinthians 5;17-18 Mighty God, as this year comes to an end, I ask that you help me let go of all that is negative in my life, to let go of bitterness, anger, fear and anything else that steals my time and joy. May all these melt away Lord, make all things new, bring hope alive in my heart and cause my spirit to be born again. Thank you for this past year, for the many blessings I received; for the new year to come and for all the blessings I will receive. Help me be a new creation in Christ, to be a blessing and an inspiration to others, to bring you honor and glory that others may see you in me, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Humble yourselves before the Lord

Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up. James 4:10 It is so easy to be proud, Lord, and being humble is not, but I humbly come before you and surrender all to you. I want to trust in you with all of my heart, even when I cannot see the road ahead of me, I ask that you will lift me up, O God, bring me and keep me close to you always, in Jesus' name. Amen

Help me walk blameless in your sight, O Lord, fill me with your Spirit and strength and help me put all my trust in you, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Everyone who loves the father loves his child as well

​Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well. This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands. This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, for everyone born of God overcomes the world. 1 John 5:1-3 Heavenly Father, Creator of all, blessed be your name in all of the earth, thank you for sending your beloved son to this world to show us your amazing and eternal love. Help me be obedient to your commands, to surrender all to you with a willing and grateful heart. Remind me O God, with you, all things are possible and everything is under your control, I pray in Jesus name I pray. Amen

​For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son

​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. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
