Don’t let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good

Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say,“I will take revenge; I will pay them back,” says the Lord. Instead,“If your enemies are hungry, feed them. If they are thirsty, give them something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals of shame on their heads.” Don’t let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good. Romans 12:19-21    Merciful Father, It is not easy to forgive, but it is so easy to lose our tempers and want revenge,  I thank you for reminding us that revenge belongs to you, O God. That we are your ambassadors on earth and we need to show your love,  compassion and forgiveness just as you do for us. Empty out the unrighteousness inside of us, fill our hearts with your  spirit  u ntil they overflow, I pray in Jesus name.  Amen 

But with you there is forgiveness

If you, Lord, kept a record of sins,  Lord, who could stand?  But with you there is forgiveness,  so that we can, with reverence, serve you.   Psalm  130:3-4 Heavenly Father, thank you for your grace and mercy, thank you for not keeping a record of my sins,  thank you for giving us your Son, that we may know you through Him and for the hope of eternal life.  I know that nothing is beyond your mercy and forgiveness and I humbly ask that you forgive every sin I have committed,  cleanse me, come and live into my heart, O Lord, and let me serve you with reverence and honor, I pray in Jesus' name.  Amen

Love must be sincere

Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Romans 12:9-11 Father in heaven, thank you for your amazing and never ending love, thank you for your promises of an eternal life at your side. Help me, O Lord, to cling on to what is good, to be devoted to honor you by doing your will, by sincerely loving and uplifting others. May I serve you and bring glory to you in all I say and do, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come

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 Father God, I am so thankful for your promises and reconciliation through your Son, Jesus. Give me guidance, wisdom and strength to be a new creation.May the desire of my heart be to please you in everything I do, Oh Lord,bless me as I put my faith and hope in you, I pray in the name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus.  Amen

Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way

Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you. 2 Thessalonians 3 :16 Sovereign Lord, whether in the darkest of moments or in our greatest of victories, to you be the glory, O Lord, we know that you are in control of everything. Lead and guide us each day, and give us your loving peace at all times and in every way, no matter our circumstances, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Why do you worry?

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. I ask you to please help me remember not to worry about anything because you are already at work, even if I cannot see it. Help put all my worries and fears at your feet and fill me with your heavenly peace, O God, and remind me that you will fight all my battles for me and give me victory, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

A tree is recognized by its fruit

Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit. Matthew 12:33 Father, you are the true God, our Creator who loves us with eternal love, I am sorry for every careless word that has ever come out of my mouth. I ask that you fill me with your Spirit of wisdom, help me grow in faith and knowledge of your will. Replace all that is not good in me with your goodness, mercy, grace and love that out of me, will flow rivers of living water. May I produce good fruit for you everyday and bring honor to your name, I pray. Amen
