Guard Myself

Malachi 1:2

I have loved you, says the Lord. But you ask, How have you loved us?

Dear Lord, I guard my thoughts and my spirit. I pray that I do not break faith with you . I do not want to offend God. I know waiting can be open-ended and seem forever. I am edgy and restless and irritated. I have a tendency to want to complain and believe that I am being treated unfairly. My behavior during my waiting is just as important as the waiting with grace and compliance. Walking in peace and uprightness. Turning away from sin means I'm not doing what is wrong in God's eyes. Anything that is offensive to him, I will stop doing. I will not bring my mess into the house of the Lord. I don't want to go through the motions and not have a true heart for God. I am willing to take whatever steps necessary to not offend God. I wait to receive his love, again. The audacity to believe that I am God's treasure and there is a blessing for me still there. God bless you today and know that you are loved very much.

I Give Myself

Acts 3:6

Then Peter said, "Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk."

Thank you Lord for waking me up today. I am blessed and highly favored. You are my rock and my salvation. I am yours and will be for the rest of my life. I commit myself to you wholeheartedly. What I have is yours. Whatever I can do for you I will do. I am preparing for a road trip today and I ask for traveling mercies. I ask for a calm route with no agitated drivers around me or my family. Peace throughout this three day journey. Road conditions can be uneventful. Weather can be calm. Thank you for your blessings that we can do this trip together. My mother is healthy now but this will probably be one of the very few trips she will agree to take. She takes care of herself very well right now and is fit as anyone else. Know that I love you and I am in love with you. Now have a blessed day and be a blessing to someone.

I Shall Obey

John 4:23

23 Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.

I will obey to the fullest extent. Time is precious and life together is more precious. Be blessed today and be a blessing to others. I love you" 

Trust

Proverbs 3:5

Trust in the Lord with all your heart

And lean not to your own understanding:

In all your ways acknowledge him

And he will make your paths straight.

Do not be wise in your own eyes;

Fear the Lord and shun evil.

This will bring health to your body

And nourishment to your bones.

Trusting you makes my faith take a huge leap. Your promises seem far away and unattainable. My understanding is not going to help me, but trusting in you, that will give me comfort. I will be relieved to of worry and wonder because I turn it over to you. Now you have to turn yours over to God. Won't he do it!!! Be blessed and have chance to be a blessing to someone special. I love you.

Integrity during times of doubt

Psalm 25:4

Show me your ways, O Lord,

Teach me your paths;

Guide me in your truth and teach me, 

For you are God my Savior,

And my hope is in you all day long.

Lord we are in a very difficult time. We need you to help us help each other. We need your guidance. Lord we can reduce the violence but we need people to help people stop hating so much. Invest in our  people. Believe that we can do better and be better. Stop the negativity and promote the positive. Show some love for each other. A smile never hurts. With much love and sincere hope for more? Be blessed and be a blessing to someone special.

Build up in Faith

Jude 1:20-21

But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit. Keep yourselves in Gos's love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.

Thank you for your mercy. I am not upset about anything. I praise the Lord for every thing in my life. Good and bad. I'm excited about today. Build up my faith today.

Not Ashamed

2 Timothy 1:6-8 For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord or of me his prisoner. Rather, join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God. 

Thank you Lord for today. I am not ashamed. Shame is being weak and inadequate. I am not rejected, nor am I imprisoned or facing a dignity crisis. Power, love and self discipline. Those are the gifts that I cherish. God has given me power, love and self discipline. I have choices and will use them wisely. I am not ashamed of you and I hope you are not ashamed of me. I pray that I will share my faith and ask God for help through out my day. I pray that God hears my prayers. Be blessed today and know that you are loved very much.

Life

Matthew 7:12

So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the law and the prophets.

Thank you for all that you do. You are a blessing to me. I will keep you close to my heart. You have been faithful through all of the ups and downs of life. Your love is a blessing. I don't know what I would do without it. I claim success and believe that I have already achieved my heart's desire. Be blessed and be a blessing to someone. I love you.

Thank you God

Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

Ephesians 4:32 NIV

Galatians 5:22

But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,gentleness and self control. Against such things there is no law.

My dear sweet God of the heavens and earth. This is what we need to display daily to one another. Where I feel out of step, you come in and restore balance. I am blessed to have you in my life. Be blessed God and be a blessing. You are loved very much.

Praise the Lord

2 Corinthians 7:2-4 

Make room for us in your hearts. We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have exploited no one. I do not say this to condemn you; I have said before that you have such a place in our hearts that we would live or die with you. I have spoken to you with great frankness; I take great pride in you. I am greatly encouraged; in all our troubles my joy knows no bounds. 

God, thank you for my day of restoration. I am blessed to have you in my life. Dear Lord I chose joy and peace. Your peace. Thank you for loving me Lord. I love you with my whole heart. Together we walk this journey. No one has to have hate in their hearts. I am encouraged by you and know that truth and goodness are with you. Troubles will come, but with God, our burden belongs to the Lord. We are in trying times right now, but we have to believe there is more. Without hope, we are battling the world on our own. Keep your joy, no one can take that away from you. I will keep my joy today, no matter what. This week is a trying week, but I have hope for success in keeping my distance from my ex. There will be no arguments. My grandson will be proud of me. I will conduct myself with honor. He will take pride in me. I will not destroy his visit with his papa. Today at school will be rewarding and pleasant. I am keeping my joy. God knows my heart and the troubles that I have. Together, we can overcome adversity. The devil is always waiting, I just can't give myself over to him without some opposition. My secret weapon is Jesus. Glory be to God. Praise The Lord, our God. Praise is what I do when I want to get closer to you. Glory to God. Be blessed and be a blessing. You are loved very much.

Thank God for removing My Sin

Zechariah 3:3-10 Now Joshua was dressed in filthy clothes as he stood before the angel. The angel said to those who were standing before him, “Take off his filthy clothes.”Then he said to Joshua, “See, I have taken away your sin, and I will put fine garments on you.” Then I said, “Put a clean turban on his head.” So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him, while the angel of the Lord stood by. The angel of the Lord gave this charge to Joshua: “This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘If you will walk in obedience to me and keep my requirements, then you will govern my house and have charge of my courts, and I will give you a place among these standing here. “‘Listen, High Priest Joshua, you and your associates seated before you, who are men symbolic of things to come: I am going to bring my servant, the Branch. See, the stone I have set in front of Joshua! There are seven eyes on that one stone, and I will engrave an inscription on it,’ says the Lord Almighty, ‘and I will remove the sin of this land in a single day. “‘In that day each of you will invite your neighbor to sit under your vine and fig tree,’ declares the Lord Almighty.” 

I thank God for removing my sins. I praise him for sending his son and loving me enough to do that..I'm moving forward with mercy. My Lord and my God, I promise to reach for you daily and to keep your promises in my heart, mind and Spirit. Be extremely blessed today. Know that you are loved very much.

Saying one thing and doing another

God help me to know and obey your commands. Talking and walking the truth. Being consistent with my words and deeds. Integrity. Keep me with the realization that I am not perfect, but through Christ Jesus, I am forgiven. The darkness is passing away and the true light is shining. When my days are long and difficult, I have faith that God is guiding me through. Just keep holding on and I will make it through. This job has jaded me. I don't the same joy and excitement, but I will press on and know that I make my own joy and excitement. No one else can do that for me. I make the decision to be where I am so I will live with my decision. I will have a blessed and faith filled day.

1 John 2:1-11

Thankful for the gift of the Spirit

Thank you God for your Spirit.

Romans 8:8-10 

Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God. You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness. 

I'm grateful for all that is done in my life. God, watch over me in my struggles today. Remind me to teach with passion. Believe in myself and the children. I have an obligation to have them move on well prepared. I have to remember to renew my spirit. I'm no good to anyone if I can't do better. Do my best, place my best effort forth and there will be change.

What ever I do, do it with love and sincerity. Have a blessed day.

Wisdom

1 Corinthians 2:10-15 

these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit.The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us. This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words. The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit. The person with the Spirit makes judgments about all things, but such a person is not subject to merely human judgments, 

God, I pray that you will instruct me today, keep your spirit close. Thank you God for loving me.

Have Mercy on Me

Father God, I pray that you will have mercy on me. My disillusion in myself and your way of life challenge me daily. I deny you and don't even know why. I give you a kiss like the kiss of a betrayer. I don't want that. I humble my self, God have mercy on me. You feel betrayed and denied. I say I love you yet don't show it. God have mercy on me. I'm a sinner.who can trust that, who can believe in that? It's better for me to not say anything. Jesus says we should always pray and not give up. What am I praying for Lord? I pray that I am faithful and trustworthy in my dealings. Forgive me Lord for I am a sinner. Am I afraid of that way of life? Do I think it is too hard for me? My struggles now are extremely challenging, how can I compare? What is the fear? Are we better off together or apart? We are apart now and life and death continue as if it would not be the same if we were together. I can talk myself out of it better than I can talk myself into it. Change. God have mercy on me. I am a sinner. God, tell me what to do.
