Set a careful watch for those who will do their best to drag you down into their emotional responses to life and circumstances. Set boundaries, and refuse to allow anyone to exploit your better nature; your belief to follow Christ. Strive to stay in the sweet spot of My Spirit, for that is where true life, love and liberty exist, says the Lord. Live in the peace of unity with Me and others who are.

Today’s Prayer

Lord God, please increase our faith. We want to trust you in the little things as well as the big things that are beyond our control. Help us to act like people who believe and trusts you in all things that we may not fall over and over again while still asking why is this happening? May you be glorified through me and the example I set before other people. Father please bless us with patience to hear from you, wait on you, follow you, and have loving mercy like you. Thank you, Father, for hearing us and answering our prayer. I trust you.” In Jesus The Christ name we pray Amen.

“The LORD has kept ME from having children. Go, sleep with my maidservant; perhaps I can build a family through her” (Gen 16:2).

Dear God, Praise be to The Name of Jesus The Christ. Father my prayer this morning is for hope. Father we pray that you will infuse HOPE into all whom need it that participate in this prayer. Father the world is so good at giving us false hope, then blaming you when we don’t have utopia in our lives. Father we pray you will reveal your GRACE to us, now. This morning I remembered that children’s song that goes “I am a promise. I am a possibility. I am a promise, with a capital P. I am a great big bundle of potentiality…” In Jesus, we are a great big bundle of potentiality. We pray that You would fill us with Your wisdom and guide us in Your will. We pray that we will be obedient to You and keep our focus on You. We pray this so that we will reach the potential You have planned for us. We thank you in advance by faith, In Jesus THE Christ’ precious name we pray, amen.

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future”.

Good afternoon God, I know you love me. You have shown me in so many ways, the greatest being sacrificing your Son to become my Savior. I know you must be concerned about even the little things in my life, and you want to direct me in all my ways. Please forgive me when I don’t listen and when I stumble and stray. Please, I’m asking you, to lead me by your Spirit today. Make me a blessing to you and to others. In the precious name of Jesus THE Christ I pray, amen.
