Love
John 3:16 For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life.
Father, Thank you for loving us. Lord you gave us Something so Precious, SomeOne that You Loved so much. You thought of us. You knew we couldn’t and still can not get it right. But some of us really do try. We thank You for Your Grace, Love and Mercy. Thank you. In Jesus Name Amen
Release
There are times in life we’re it gets tough. There are moments when you question. What can you do in that moment. Honestly nothing. When you look around you and you see you are just about out of everything. When you sit back and think and ponder time just seems to stand still in your mind but in reality hours have past. That did not change anything. What are you going to do now? Honestly the thing we should have all been doing. Trusting God. Giving everything to Him. You may not seem like you have a lot but Faith the size of a mustard seed is a lot. Your little is grand in Gods Eyes. In His Word many times God turned little and made it much. This gives us Hope because He is the same yesterday, Today and forever more.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding. And in all thy way acknowledge Him. And He will direct your path.
Father, we come releasing everything to you. Our Strength and weakness, our relationships, finances, body, mind, spirit and soul. Everything our lives consist of. We know when we truly lean and depend on you we know you will direct us. Keep us Lord as we walk this journey as You lead us. Take us today. We give You full permission
In Jesus Name
Amen
Imagine
“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; And lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he shall direct thy paths.”Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV
. Imagine if we could truly and fully trust God in every what will happen.
Father help us to Trust You more. Lord we desire all the things in life but we stressed out when we do it. I can truly imagine if we wouLOD just Trust in and on You the prayers and situations we have will come and will change. God help us. Take our lives and You do what You do. We give you full permission Lord.
In Jesus Name
amen
ORDERED
“Man's goings are of the LORD; How can a man then understand his own way?” Proverbs 20:24 KJV
Man's steps are ordered by the Lord. How then can a man understand his way? Proverbs 20:24 Amplified
Father order our steps today. Place where we need to be. We give You today to lead and guide. For are as sheep, we don’t seem to know and understand what to do or when to do. We can be led astray easily. Take our hearts, minds, spirit, hand, etc and use it. You know the things that are before us. You knew it even before time began. Here we are God. Giving You full permission to take over our lives. You drive and we ride with You. Take the things we planned and You make it Yours. It’s all Your Plan and Will not ours. Lead us Make us O Lord!.

Family
“Through wisdom is an house builded; And by understanding it is established:”
Proverbs 24:3 KJV
Family is important. We only get one of each person in our life’s. Some of us are blessed with Bonuses. Cherish it. Some of our friends are considered our families. Cherish them. We get one. Give flowers while they livev among us. Love them, encourage them, forgive them, pray for them, be there for them and so much more.
Father, we come before you thanking you for this day. We wanna stop and thank you for our family. We cherish what you have given us. We also give them all back to you. Some know you, some running, some just don’t want you or know you. We pray for them. You love them more than we do. You can reach them in ways we can’t. Thank you in advance.

Scripture of the Day
1 Whoever dwells in the shelter-of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.[a]
2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
3 Surely he will save you
from the fowler’s snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
Psalms 91: 1-7
Father, we come running to you this day. We ask you to encamp Your Angels, and Your Loving Arms around us. There is so much going on around us, but we know that You are our Refuge, our Safe Place. We thank You for this. We may see it but it won’t phase us. And We thank You for this as well. Continue to keep us and we will continue to stay with and under You. Our Rock and Refuge.
In Jesus Name

Christ-Like or a Christian
Examine your life. Are you Christlike? Are you trying to be like Christ? Are you walking talking and loving like Christ? Or are you just going to church putting your time in just to see if you want to church in my Apostle words. The lesson tonight really made me examine my life. Made me really think am I really being like Christ or just being a regular Christian thinking then I’m gonna make it into heaven just by being good. There’s a way that seems right, but it’s not. It’s a way to destruction. We really need God! Turn to God today. It’s past time and way past due.
Father, we come before you today. Thanking you for this day that you have given us. Hello we come to you repenting repenting of all our ways. The ways we thought the ways we talk the way we handle things every way that was not like you want today we repent. we are truly in need of you. Save us all God. Make us more and more like you, take everything out of us, That’s not like you here we are God. You have full permission to take over our lives. In Jesus name amen.
Followers
God wants us to follow Him. He set people in our path like Leaders to shepherd us and guide us. To teach us the ways of God is what they do. They can’t get us into Heaven though. We must truly follow God. When the person of God gets up and teaches, or if a person comes to tell you something God says it must line up with Gods Word, and confirm what’s He has given you. Now be careful of false tells. There are so many out there. It sounds good, sounds right but it’s not. It will have you questioning what or if God really said “ Eve”. Gain, and grow that relationship with God for yourselves so that you will know that you know that God is who and What He Says He Is!!.
“I am the LORD, and there is none els, there is no God besides me. I girded thee, though thou has not known me” Isaiah 45:5
“Be Ye Followers of God, as dear children.” Ephesians 5:1
Father, we come thanking you for this beautiful cold Monday morning. We want to come to you to know you. To be able to hear and follow you. We want to know that we know that it is You we follow. Allow us the know and feel that false is near. So that we will NOT follow. In Jesus Name. Amen.

Goals
What are your goals in life? What are you doing to get those girls done? Did you pause? Did you give them? Did you give up? Did you allow other opinions to affect what you desired? Did you allow life to come into your space and take over? These goals are super important in your life. These goals make you who you are. Go back dig up all of them. Go dust off all that stuff, all those things that you put down and put it in a box and sealed it. We know that this was important to you at one point in your life. So now go and see if it will still be that important to you when you go back and get it. Somethings May amazing you. I know when I went back and looked in my journals that I have written from back in the day and those desires and goals that I had written down make me go back and pick it back up again because those same desires was there from that part of life.
My encouraging words for you today is to not give up on yourself. Life happens. We all grow up. We have families we have jobs, but at the end of the day we are still us.
Father, we come before you God thanking you for this day. We want to give over our dreams, our goals and our desires to you. We know that you will grant desires of our heart if it is in Your Will. Allow us to know and follow what Your will is. Thank you Lord, for making me who I am. Thank you for allowing me to go back and find my joy. In Jesus name amen.
Grateful
Psalms 107:1- “O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; For His Compassion and Lovingkindness endure forever.”
What are you thankful for? We are to be thankful daily. When we wake up everyday realizing that we are still breathing, we want to thank God. Every time we hear our families voices and our friends voices, we say thank you. Thank you Lord for giving us another chance to get it right. Thank you for forgiving us our sins. Thank God for all that He does.
Father we want to say thank You for all that you do for us. All the things we take for granted. You did not have to do it but You loved us in it all. Thank you Lord daily. In Jesus Name. Amen
Be confident
Stand firm on who you are. And whose you are. You are a Child of the Most High God. Know that He Loves you and He died for you. Know that you are not alone. He is walking with you. When you walk in the room, He is setting the atmosphere for you, He is creating that path for you. Be confident in Whose you are. No matter what you are going through, no matter how you are feeling, Lift your hands and release it.
“Cast your Cares Upon Him because He cares!”
Father, we come to you thanking you this day that you gave us. God I desire to please you. I trust you Lord. I stand confident in who I am in you Lord. I am confident that I belong to You. Thank you for that. In Jesus Name Amen
Forgiveness
What doe Forgiveness mean to you? Forgiveness is truly letting things go. From what others did to you, you did to other, or even to forgive yourself. I hear people say all the time that “I forgive but don’t ever forget.” This just means you have not forgiven at all. Because when you see that person or a comment or thought that comes takes you back to that moment or emotion. Forgiveness takes time if you are doing it on your own. Give it to God and allow him to help you with it.
“And be ye kind one to another, tender hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christs Sake hath Forgiven you. “ Ephesians 4;32
Father we come to you asking you to help us to forgive and let go. Even if it is ourselves. Because we know we are the hardest to forgive. Father we release the hurt and the person and the situation over to you. We know that you can handle it better than we ever can. And we thank you. In Jesus Name Amen
Joy
What is Joy in your own words? Joy is a feeling that surpasses happiness. This is a feeling that God gives us daily. “For the Joy of the Lord is my strength and your stronghold.” Nehemiah 8:10B. The worldly possessions had nothing to do with this. It can’t take it from you. And you truly don’t want to give it away. Find your space were you can just sit back and reflect on how Joyous you are in God.And with that joy you will find peace.
Dear Lord, thank you for this day that you have given me. I want to to just say thank you for the Joy You have given me. And with that joy I have found so much Peace in You. I stand firm in it. And the world will not have access to it, not will I give it away. Thank you Lord for all that you are and all that you do. In Jesus Name Amen.
Fear
What is the real meaning of fear?
a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, etc., whether the threat is real or imagined;
“For God did not give us a spirit of fear (timidity, or cowardice) but He has given us a Spirit of Power, and Love and the sound of judgment and Personal discipline (abilities that results in calm, well-balanced mind and self control). 2 Timothy 1: 7.
We tend to have fear of the unknown or fear of what others think of us. We also know we have our natural fears as well such as fear of heights, bugs etc. To believe strongly that God is with us through everything. To face things, and people that harmed us in or past or present moment can be paralyzing. To begin a new relationship or journey, something you truly never done before, it takes a certain kind of courage, confidence, and boldness to Stand.
In all of this, put God First in all that you do. Believe wholly that He is walking with you in it. He will place people in your life to guide you and pray with and for you.
“Father we come into every situation that we face daily. Those places that others don’t seem to see, or those places that has been buried for years but yet affect us internally. We give it over to you because this is and can be a scary and dark place for us. God help us. We need you. In Jesus Name Amen
Reflection
Have you ever stopped and wondered about Gods Word when He says “We are fearfully and Wonderfully made” (Psalms 139:14) Have you ever wondered what that really means. Everything about you, from your skin color, every strand of hair, the way you talk and move, everything. I know at times we can look in the mirror and see flaws, and mistakes we may have made. We tend to make those bigger than what they are supposed to be. God had made all of those and it has made us who we are in HIM. God knew everything that we were going to do and how we were going to do it. He is making that thing that made you not like you, that situation into something that He is going to use. What you are and have gone through is not just for you only to see Gods Love Grace and Mercy. It is for the world to see it as well. And for the ones that He has connected you with near and far. He will use it. So the next time you look in the mirror, or the next time you sit back and reflect on your life and all you feel is negative, renounce that and say” God use it. Use everything about me. You created it me, and you know all about me. Use everything about me for Your Glory.” Close your eyes say that prayer, take a deep breathe, then open yours eyes when you are ready. NO lie some tears may flow, God is taking those as well. And allow Him to work it all out for your Good. “And we know (with great confidence) that God (who is deeply concerned about us) causes all things to work together(as a plan) for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to HIS PLAN and Purpose.” Romans 8:28.
