Peace of Mind in Troubled Times

Father God I pray that you give peace to a man who is devoted to your will and your ways. A man pure of heart, mind and body who is willing do whatever it takes, believing in your Word for all things to come to light.
Lord we use our faith and confess that all bitterness, wrath, rage, bad temper, resentment, contention, slander, abuse, evil speaking are removed and destroyed. Let him be compassionate, tender of heart, understanding, loving, forgiving and readily and freely forgiving of those who not been imitators of Jesus. Lord we fight a slow and steady battle.
I ask you to renew our mind and give us a fresh mental and spiritual attitude to fight the battle before us. Allow us to come to our senses and escape from the devils hold. Father God allow us to love one another with the God kind of love, united in total peace and harmony and happiness. Thank you Lord for loving us and believing in us and knowing that your will is done in our life. Lord you are the answer and we meditate on your word day and night. We truly seek to be blessed and to be a blessing to someone.

An Authentic Relationship with God

Relationship has to be reciprocal. Love is a two way street. God demonstrates his love to us while we were sinners.

God sees in us what nobody else can see. I want to have my spiritual eye see what no body else can see. Let me be a recipient of God so that I can love God back.

Worship is not about me, its about God. If you never do another thing for me I will still love you. I love you. This is more than just lip service.

If you love God you will keek His commandments. Love involves obedience.

Always, always, always give thanks to the Lord for he is good and his mercy endures forever.

The way to live your life is to be thankful.

Praise God no matter what the situation.

Make music in your heart. You have a whole orchestra inside of you.

This is the Day that the Lord Has Made

Father God this is your day. Each and every day I am desperate for you. I long for you in my life and I won't stand for you to not be in it daily. My heart's desire is to please you. I wake up wanting to know what can I do to please you today.

Thank you Father for giving us knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom, thank you for bringing us into favor with those around us. We don't want to be where you are not in the midst of everything.

God, I heard on a movie that, once you realize that you truly are in genuine, sincere love then you want to be close to that individual all the time. You want to make constant and repeated connections with that person because you realize that every moment is precious.

Lord I pray that you intercede in my life. You guide and direct me daily. Don't let me fall. Don't let me make the same mistakes over and over again. Let me learn. Let me speak from divine wisdom and spiritual knowledge and enlightment that is stored up deep within me.

Father God let our children know peace. We commission the ministering spirits to go forth and police the area where our children will be today, dispelling the forces of darkness and evil. Allow them to live their lives in such a way that they are open to the lights of this world that project honor and truth in words, thoughts and deeds.

We bind up evry spirit of darkness and any wickedness that tries to establish a stronghold in our lives. We bind up spirits of the occult, alcohol, nicotine, drug addiction, sexual immorality, profanity, obscenity, the blinding spirit of the antichrist, worldly wisdom in any form and every opposer to the truth. We bind up every destructive, deceitful, thieving spirit. You are loosed from your assignment on us and our children in the name of Jesus.

Father God we thank you and praise you for loving us and wanting us to be closer to you. Just to be close to you is my desire. I can do nothing with out you. Nothing makes sense without you in my life. Nothing works without you close to me. Nothing has value without you. Thank you God for giving me the ears to hear and the eyes to see. Father God you occupy first place in my heart and there is none like you. I praise you for who you are. Each and every day I am desperate for you. I long to please you. I seek you out. I am in love with you. You my boo.

Emotions

Jesus came to flip the script and flip it He did.

I realize that time is precious. Now is what I have to live for. I don't have time for foolishness. I have to realize that there is some stuff that I don't have time for. Life is really just too precious. Some things are not worth the hassle. God knows my heart and my mind and when he prepares me for a blessing he knows that I am a human vessel in the flawed world and my ultimate and final allegiance is to He who is, was and shall be, forever.

So I have nothing to be jealous about because he would not allow that spirit to be part of me relating to anything that is of Him. I know innocent and genuine caring and love for individuals. I don't need to be jealous or to have someone think I am some green eyed monster filled with jealousy every time they talk to someone. God would not have that spirit in me and I don't receive it. That's not of God and I don't want to be in a situation where I am down that road. That's not me and I don't receive those feelings, so I keep myself in check and will not get closer to that demon.I believe God knows what I can handle and what I can't and my mind is strong and determined. When I see myself walking down a path that I am not comfortable with, I will turn away. I am not perfect and I realize that is something that is starting to rear its ugly head in me and I don't like it. I pray to God to remove that from me. I am not perfect and as I age, I find more and more imperfections. Probably due to the fact that I put up with less and less. I try to challenge myself in new situations to increase my exposure to many different responsible feelings.

I choose how to respond to things in my life and my emotions are not determined by a look or a word. To be so feeble and fragile is something I neither seek or desire. I am strong and determined in my life. I am passionate and secure about my life. Why some things work one way and not the other are for many reasons that I am not aware of but I chalk that up to protection for me. What I may want, may not be right for me. Many factors are present when people are attempting to establish themselves in a relationship. What keeps them apart, what draws them together, what brought them together in the first place and what are the real factors keeping them apart and keeping them together. What really is the truth? What is the reason.

How much is our fault, good or bad? Who is to blame? Is that where we are stressing our faith? Who do we blame and how much is their fault? Is there really any one to blame and what is the crime really. At this point, what will happen will happen. Good or bad, we lived through this. Life is too short to constantly blame anybody for anything. We move forward, forget the past and plan for the future, come what may. Its just not that serious in the whole scheme of things. If it is to be then it will. If not then, so be it. Control what I can and move on. If things aren't changing then there is a reason for it. God has a plan and he knows how to work it. Love never fails. Whether real or imagined in my mind, it affects how I react to the outcome.

If only we could change those factors. I am waiting for God to give me a clear sign that this is what I am suppose to do. Just as you are waiting for God to tell you to leave and to do other things, I am waiting also. I don't know what the future holds, good or bad, I pray that I hear God's word and follow His directions. I trust God to know me and to place me where I need to be with the skills and strength to stay there. God is not setting me up to fail. I will be confident in my decision. My God supplies all of my needs. I will be obedient until the end. I thank God for providing salvation for me through his son, Jesus Christ's death. I believe in the Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit. I am a believer. I trust God to order my steps and if I am not following in His ways, I trust Him to guide me back to the path. When I am lost and blind, I call on His name to find me and take me out of my mess. I call on His name. My faith is restored in Jesus.

I know that God is aware of every inch, minute and second of time that I am allotted on this earth. I believe that when God blesses me it will be a recognized, identifiable, true blessing for me. I don't need someone to tell me that this is my blessing. God has put it in my heart and mind to know that this is OK. I may be challenged to accept the gift, blessing on God's terms but I feel God knows me well enough to give me a blessing that I will not miss. If every blessing is for me to miss, unless I am changed and reformed and more astute and alert and waiting at the right time and right place and I hear the right words and say the right words, then I am totally not going to get that blessing. I know God knows me. I don't say that I am perfect and unwilling to change, but I am a child of God willing to stretch and grow and learn. I want more from God and I am open to go where God wants me to go. God knows me.

I have lived a half a century and I don't imagine that I have another half of century ahead of me. Especially not in the same health and strength. I am thankful for each and every day that I am still here functioning and contributing to life. I take nothing for granted. My mind is open to change and I don't live in the past. I search for the future. Each and every day I try to do things that are contrary to the devil's plan for my life. I constantly remind myself that I am in the world but not of the world.

I refuse to be treated any old way. I refuse to accept any old treatment just because it has the potential of being great. I will not prostitute myself to that which is not of Christ. I will die to me so I can live in Christ Jesus. I will humble myself to the will of Christ Jesus and I will continue to do all I can to please Jesus.

I have picked up this mantle of taking care of this child, my parents, my family and I surely did not ask for it and continue to find difficulty in setting boundaries with this situation. I continue to be challenged in every aspect of my profession, learning how to do things differently, being held accountable for things that are new and old. If all is in my mind and I am able to control these things then I have to devote time to these situations until they are more manageable because I am in control of nothing right now. Its just one big mess in every aspect that I look. Home, work, church. I have to find a new solution. Trial and error. Try something different. Be open to change and willing to try and try again.

Put new wine in new wine skins. I'm tired of being in the same old place doing the same old thing and getting the same old results. I want new results and new wine in my life.

Give Me Wisdom

I am so tired. My back is hurting and I need to take my contacts out. But despite it all, I am calling on the name of God to give me wisdom to know what to do, rest, reflect and renew.

2 Chronicles 1 7-12

Lord I bring all of my situations to you. I admit that I do not know what to do and I bring it all to you.

With much love, be blessed and be a blessing to someone.
