#Mary’s #Faith: A #Reflection on #Prayer & Courage

Luke 1: 26-38  Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by #God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary. And having come in , the angel said to her, "Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!" But when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was. Then the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name JESUS. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end." Then Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I do not know a man?" And the angel answered and said to her, &qu

If My #People #Pray.....

2 Chronicles 7:14 King James Version (KJV) 14  If my people, which are called by my name, shall #humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will #forgive their sin, and will heal their land. This scripture is very important, as we see the world changing before our eyes.  We all need to humble ourselves and pray.  These are desperate times, which require us, as Christians, to be on our knees praying for our nation, our fellow man, and the world.  We all need to be watchful of what is going on around us and pray for the protection of our families and co-workers.   Remember, we are God's army and we can fight the enemy the strongest with prayer!  Prayer can move mountains, make the blind man see and defeat the enemy.  Be strong in the Lord, take on the armor of God, Ephesians 6:10-18. God is calling his people to arms, it's to start with prayer and supplication. My prayer today is for God's peo

Thank #God For Those That Surround You #Reflection & #Prayer

This year, I am #thankful for those around me.  No matter what the situation is or how you feel about those close or even not so close to you, we need to forgive and forget.  We all make mistakes in our lives and usually end up hurting those we love the most.  So, let us reflect on the things that are the best in those we love and continue to love them through every situation.  Life is too short not to be with those you love. The past month I haven't wrote a lot, as I have lost a couple of dear people in my life.  The first was a dear friend who had been suffering with lung cancer.  We were only one month apart in age.  She lost her battle with cancer, the night before her 45th birthday and went home with the Lord.  I was able to see her a week before she left us and am thankful for the time we shared while she was alive.  She is now celebrating with Jesus, although we miss her we know that she has no more pain and we will see her again. Then this past weekend, I lost my mother

A little note

Here's a small little poem I wrote, as I'm thinking about some #friends who need our #prayers and are going through rough times.  Pray for all those you love, the nation, or whatever your heart desires.  Life is too short not to take the time to pray. Be Thankful Be Thankful for the time that is given: For it is very short! Be Thankful for today; For there may be no tomorrow! Be Thankful for all of those who surround you; For they need to know you'll love them forever! Be Thankful for what you have; For not everyone is as fortunate! Be Thankful for the Earth; For it is very precious to maintain! Be Thankful for the Lord; For He created it all! Have a blessed night.  God bless all who read this.

Psalm 19:14

Psalm 19:14 New King James Version (NKJV) 14  Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O  Lord , my strength and my Redeemer.

#Prayer for being #Judgmental

Father, I ask for your #forgiveness this day for being judgmental of others and pointing fingers at my fellow man. Father, I ask in Jesus' name that you will help me to be a witness this week for every person that I come into contact with and all those who are in need of love. That you will show me those who need You in their lives and need hope. I know that only you can bring the salvation through your grace and I pray that, Your will be done, Heavenly Father. Thank you for all that you continue to do in my life and thank you for all that you are doing for our country. Be my strength this week, I pray. In Christ's Holy Name, Amen Matthew 7:1-6 “Judge not, that you be not judged.   2  For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. 3  And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?   4  Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me rem

#Prayer to End Your #Day

 I'm continuing to work on and write more that #God is giving to me for the prayers and confessions that are needed for our #daily walk in the Lord.  If there is a specific need or prayer that you feel I need to focus on writing please let me know.  I will be happy to write one and post.  Soon I will be putting together a book of prayers, so it would be very helpful to get some feed back if you have any on these prayers or future prayers that I post.  I have posted one for this week.  God Bless you all, In the Name of Jesus! Prayer to End your Day: Lord- Today I enter into Your gates with thanksgiving in my heart, for even as I end my day, I know you have made and formed me.  There's not one day that I should not be thankful from the morning to the evening.  I ask that as a close to this day, as everyday, that You cause me to hear Your loving kindness.  For in You I trust.  Show me the way that I should walk, for I lift my soul up to You, Lord. Deliver me from my enemies,

#Prayer for #Daily #Strength

Here's another prayer that I wrote for a daily confession or morning prayer.  I hope that it blesses those who read it and that they can use it in their daily walks. Scripture for today is Psalm 139. Almighty Father, You are the source of my strength and my life.  I humbly seek Your presence and strive for Your knowledge.  I crave to know You, Lord, as You know me, for the creator of all knows all that He has made, each and every remarkable piece.  I will forever glorify in Your mercy, oh Lord, and praise You for Your love. I ask that the love that You have shown me will come forth in all that I do and say today and throughout the week.  I ask for Your grace, mercy and forgiveness, Lord, to flow out of me towards others as I am Your servant who is continually striving to be like Your Son, Jesus, as well as You Heavenly Father. I know that I have a responsibility, as a servant of the Lord, to show love towards others no matter who they are or what they have done or are doi

#Love Conquers Over All

#Uniting in #Christ takes one major step and that is to #LOVE each other no matter the sin or the opinions of our fellow man.  This was God's main commandment,to love one another as Christ loved us.  So why do we have so much hate amongst God's people when the whole bible is about love?  Unite in prayer and have God show us the way.   This is one of my favorite scriptures and I hope that it will become one of yours. Thank you Lord for your love, mercy and grace! 1 John 4 King James Version (KJV) 4  Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2  Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3  And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

Go into the World

And #Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in #heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Matthew 28:18-20   KJV

Thy Lovingkindness

Here is the #prayer that I promised for today!  #God has been showing us lately that we need to unite as a #Christian community for the harvest is starting to go dry and blow away.  We need to be praying more now than ever, as well as, showing people the true love of Christ.  Quit rejecting others because of their opinions or beliefs.  We need to start opening up our hearts to the Truth that is in us and leading them in the right direction instead of astray.  Yes, tell them they are sinners, but so are we, all saved by the same grace.  Join with us in the fight for our Christian faith, it's time for the Army of God to rise being renewed and revived. Heavenly Father- I come humbly before you this day, to ask you for forgiveness for my feelings towards others.  I thank you for your mercy and your grace that abounds in my life. I pray that you show me how to incorporate both of them into my thoughts and actions through my walk in life.  In the Name of Jesus I command all evil th

Uniting Together

We need to be united in #Christ for we are all #children of God.  Let's #pray this weekend that we put our differences aside and start showing what the true love of Christ is.   I will be posting a prayer on Sunday to reflect Christ's love and wisdom.  Please make sure to check back. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus . Galatians 3:28   NKJV

#Prayer for Claiming Your #Day

This is a prayer that was written combining scripture for my #daily walk with the Lord.  I will be posting these types of prayers for the next couple of weeks.  Please enjoy and use them as you need to. Heavenly Father: Upon waking this beautiful morning, I ask that You would "cause me to hear Your loving kindness this morning." For in You I do trust; Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, For I lift up my soul to You, Lord!             Psalm 143:8 I will praise You this day for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works and that my soul knows very well.             Psalm 139:14 Keep me, Oh Lord, from the hands of the wicked; Preserve me from violent men Who have purposed to make my steps stumble.                                             Psalm 140:4 I take full authority in this day, In the Name of Jesus! No evil shall befall me, Nor shall any plague come near my dwelling.                                       Psalm 9

#Praise #God

Praise God for this beautiful, gorgeous and prosperous day!  #Thank You Lord for all You have done in our lives and are about to do for Jesus, You make my life Glorious!  I praise You for all that, You Lord, have done for our nation, our families, and our brothers and sisters that are in You!  Please heal all those who are sick, prosper all those who are in need and direct the paths of our leaders.  We praise You, Jesus for this wonderful day!  Amen Psalm 118:24 New King James Version (NKJV) 24  This  is  the day the  Lord  has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.

No Greater Love

We need to continue to #love and #pray for each other.  These are hard times, so we must show the #joy that Jesus has for us all. Praise the Lord for His mercy & love. John 15:11-14 11  “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and  that  your joy may be full.   12  This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.   13  Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.   14  You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.

#Scripture for Today Phil. 4:4-9

4 # Rejoice in the #Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!   5  Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.   6  Do not be anxious about anything,  but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.   7  And the peace of God,  which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8  Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.   9  Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice.  And the God of peace  will be with you. Go forth with peace today friends, no worries.  Rejoice in the Lord!

Joyfully We Come!

We need to come before the #Lord with #Praise and #Thanksgiving, #worshiping and joyfully bringing ourselves to the Most High God. Praise and Thanksgiving are two very important parts in praying.  God not only wants to hear what we need but He loves to hear the praises of His people to Him.  Waking up and thanking God for our day and asking for His blessings is a great way to start any day. Let's come before Him today with a joyful and thankful heart, praising Him for all that He has done and is about to do! Psalm 95 New King James Version (NKJV) A Call to Worship and Obedience 95  Oh come, let us sing to the  Lord ! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation. 2  Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms. 3  For the  Lord   is  the great God, And the great King above all gods. 4  In His hand  are  the deep places of the earth; The heights of the hills  are  His also. 5  The sea  is  His, for He made it; And His h
