Lo, I AM with u always, even 2 the end of the age.  Matthew 28:20        Beautiful Shop

01. Deserted by Loved Ones - IF YOU'VE BEEN rejected or deserted by a friend or loved one, JESUS knows exactly how u feel. He had the same experience when His disciple Judas Iscariot betrayed Him, and His other disciples forsook Him and fled. Was this betrayal of Jesus a random event, outside the Father's loving control? Not at all. In fact, this experience was foretold in a Messianic psalm 100s of years earlier: "Even my own familiar friend in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted up his heel against Me" [Psalm 41:9].

This psalm continues with a wonderful word of Encouragement 4 all who have suffered abandonment or betrayal: "But You, O Lord, be merciful 2 me, and raise me up" [v.10]. No matter what kind of unfair treatment you've rec'd from a loved one, God's plan is 2b merciful 2 u and RAISE YOU UP!

When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take care of me.  Psalm 27:10

I have been young, and now am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his descendants begging bread. He is ever merciful, and lends; and his descendants are blessed. Psalm 37:25-26

Whereas u have been forsaken and hated...I will make u an eternal excellence, a Joy of many generations.  Isaiah 60:15

The Lord will not cast off His people, nor will He forsake His inheritance.  Psalm 94:14

You shall no longer be termed Forsaken, nor shall your land any more be termed Desolate; but u shall be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; 4 the Lord delights in u, and your land shall be married.  Isaiah 62:4

The  Lord your God is a merciful God. He will not forsake u nor destroy u, nor forget the covenant of your fathers [Abraham, Isacc, and Jacob], which He swore 2 them.  Deuteronomy 4:31

You are God, ready 2 pardon, gracious and merciful, slow 2 anger, abundant in kindness, and did not forsake them.  Nehemiah 9:17

Can a woman forget her nursing child, and not have compassion on the son of her womb? Surely they may forget, yet I will not forget u.  See, I have inscribed u on the palms of My hands; Your walls are continually b4 ME.  Isaiah 49:15-16

Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes w/u. He will not leave u nor forsake u.  Deuteronomy 31:6

The Lord will not forsake His people, 4 His great name's sake, bcoz it has pleased the Lord 2 make u His people.  ISamual 12:22

It is better 2 trust in the Lord than 2 put confidence in man.  Psalm 118:8

Surely your Salvation is coming; behold, His reward is w/Him, and His work b4 Him. And they shall call them The Holy People, The Redeemed of the Lord; and u shall be called Sought Out, A City Not Forsaken.  Isaiah 62:11-12

Those who know Your Name will trust in You; 4 You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.  Psalm 9:10

Prayer:  FATHER, Your Word says You are able 2 work all things together 4 good 2 those who love You. I call on You today 2 honor Your promises and work these painful circumstances 4 my good and 4 Your Glory.  Thank You, Lord, that nothing is outside of Your knowledge or control. In the midst of every difficult experience, You are able 2 fulfill Your purposes and lift me up!  Father, I forgive ALL those who have treated me unfairly, just as You have graciously forgiven me 4 the ways my actions have sometimes hurt You.  Thank You 4 opening my eyes 2 new hope 4 Restoration and Victory! In Jesus' Name. AMEN.

Love one another fervently w/a pure heart.  IPeter 1:22                                              Visit her beautiful butterflys

02.  Experiencing Marital Problems -  JESUS SAID He would build His Church on such a strong foundation that "the gates of hell" would not be able 2 prevail against it [Matthew 16:18], and He wants 2 build our marriages on that same kind of foundation- the foundation of His Word.  If your marriage is struggling today, it probably would be easy 2 find someone or something 2 blame. Perhaps there are financial problems..or infidelity..or substance abuse..or uncontrolled anger...or some other factor that has brought your relationship 2 a crisis point.  But Proverbs 24:3 makes an important statement about what it takes 2 have a strong marriage and family: "Through WISDOM a House is Built, and by understanding it is Established." In order 2 have a healthy marriage, we need God's Wisdom and Understanding! 

Wives, submit 2 your own husbands, as 2 the Lord. For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is Head of the Church; and He is the Saviour of the Body.  Therefore, just as the church is subject 2 Christ, so let the wives be 2 their own husbands in everything.

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the Church and gave Himself 4 her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her w/the washing of water by the Word, that He might present her 2 Himself a glorious Church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be Holy and w/o blemish. So husbands ought  love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wive loves himself...Let each one of u in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects he husband. Ephesians 5:21-33

The Lord God said, "It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable  him." Genesis 2:18

A man shall leave his father and mother and be joined 2 his wife, and they shall become one flesh. Genesis 2:24

Let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband. Let the husband render 2 his wife the affection due her, and likewise also the wife 2 her husband. ICorinthians 7;2-3

Wives, likewise, be submissive 2 your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the Word, they, w/o a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives. Husbands, likewise, dwell w/them w/understanding, giving honor 2 the wife, as 2 the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may NOT be hindered.  IPeter 3:1,7

All of u be of one mind, having compassion 4 one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous; not returning evil 4 evil or reviling 4 reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that u were called 2 this, that u may inherit a blessing.  IPeter 3:8-9

Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from u, w/all malice. and be kind 2 one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave u.  Ephesians 4:31-32

LOVE suffers long and is kind; LOVE does not envy; LOVE does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the Truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. LOVE NEVER FAILS.  ICorinthians 13:4-8

Prayer:  FATHER, I acknowledge today that You are the One who created marriage, and You're the One who knows how 2 fix marriages when they're struggling. Forgive me 4 the ways I've failed 2 seek Your Wisdom and obey Your Instructions 4 my marraige. I acknowledge that my own ways have failed, and I need Your Help and Wisdom 2 bring Healing 2 my marriage. Today I re-commit myself  Your Lordship. I ask You 2 change my heart and re-kindle the love in my marriage. I look 2 You as the only reliable source 3 unselfish LOVE.  Show me Your ways, Lord, so my Home is built on a firm foundation. Thank You 4 giving me Hope today- the Hope that can onlly come from You. In Jesus' Name. AMEN.

My God shall supply all your need according 2 His Riches in glory by Christ Jesus.  Philippians 4:19

03. Financially Troubled - GOD HAS A PLAN 4 your finances. His heart is 2 bless His children, so they can be a blessing 2 others [Genesis 12:2]!  Your primary need today is 2 truly SEEK HIM, 4 His Word promises, "Those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing" [Psalm 34:10]. Whatever u need from Your Heavenly Father, He wants 2 give u--but u must ASK..Seek..Knock until your breakthrough comes [Matthew 7:7].

Dont sit back passively, hoping God's Provision will come. You must be aggressive and fight 4 it, crying out 2 Him until u receive the Provision u need.  Remember, If you're expecting a miracle financial Harvest from God, u must first trust Him by Sowing fnancial Seeds into His Kingdom [Luke 6:38]. If you're in need, --4 hoarding lead 2 poverty and lack.

Beloved, I pray that u may prosper in ALL things and be in Health, just as your soul prospers. 3John 2

I have been young, and now am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his descendants begging bread. Psalm 37:25

"Bring ALL the Tithes into the Storehouse, that there may be food in MY House, and try ME now in this, " says the Lord of Hosts, "If I will not open 4 u the windows of Heaven and pour out 4 u such blessing that there will not be room enough 2 receive it. And, I will rebuke the devourer 4 your sakes." Malachi 3:10-11

All these blessings shall come upon u and overtake u, bcoz u obey the voice of the Lord your God...The Lord will grant u plenty of goods, in the fruit of your body, in the increase of your livestock, and in the produce of your groung, in the land of which the Lord swore 2 your fathers 2 give u.  The Lord will open 2 u His good treasure, the heavens, 2 give the rain 2 your land in its Season, and 2 bless all the work of your hand. You shall lend 2 many nations, but u shall not borrow. And the Lord will make u the head and not the tail; u shall be above only, and not be beneath, if u heed the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command u today, and are careful 2 observe them.  Deuteronomy 28:2,11-13

He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully...And God is able 2 make all grace abound toward u, that u, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance 4 every good work. 
2Corinthians 9:6-8

God gives Wisdom and Knowledge and Joy 2 a man who is good in His sight; but 2 the sinner He gives the work of gathering and collecting, that He may give 2 him who is good b4 God.  Ecclesiastes 2:26

The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want anything.  Psalm 23:1               See His Shop                                   

The Lord your God is bringing u into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, that flow out of valleys and hills; a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey; a land in which u will eat bread w/o scarcity, in which u will lack nothing...


When u have eaten and are full, then u shall bless the Lord your God 4 the good land which He has given u...remember the Lord your God 4 it is He who gives u power 2 get Wealth, that He may Establish His Covenant which He swore 2 your fathers, as it is this very day. Deuteronomy 87-10, 18

Prayer: HEAVENLY Father, You know the financial needs and other concerns I'm facing today. Yet my greatest need is simply 2 seek You and Know You, and Your Voice, more intimately.  Acknowledging You as my Shepherd and Provider, I bring You my Tithes and Offerings. Your Word says You're bringing me into a "good Land' where I will lack nothing, 4 You give me the power 2 produce Wealth. When my financial breakthrough comes, I pledge 2 honor You w/the "First Fruits" and give You Glory 4 Your Blessings. As You bless me, Lord, I also pray You will make me a greater blessing 2 others. In Jesus' Name. AMEN!


Blessed are those who mourn, 4 they shall be comforted. Matthew 5:4

04. Grieving -  IF YOU'RE GRIEVING over the death of a loved one today, God wants u 2 enter His Presence and find a place of peace and safety. Let Him comfort u w/His loving embrace and restore His Joy 2 your soul.  God will not leave u in your sadness. He promises 2b right there w/u even as u "walk thru the valley of the shadow of death" [Psalm 23:4].  The Bible says God offers special healing balm 4 those who grieve, giving them "beauty 4 ashes, the oil of Joy for mourning" [Isaiah 61:3].  Yes, there may be weeping and pain 4 a Season, but He promises that a better day is ahead, a day of renewed hope and Joy: "He will swallow up death forever, and the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces" [Isaiah 25:8].

I do not want u 2b ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest u sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again,  even so God will bring w/Him those who sleep in Jesus...For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven w/a shout, w/the voice of an archangel, and w/the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together w/them in the clouds 2 meet the Lord in the air.  And thus we shall always be w/the Lord. Therefore comfort one another w/these words. IThessalonians 4:13-18

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able 2 comfort those who are in any trouble, w/the comfort w/which we ourselves are comforted by God. 2Corinthians 1:3-4

He has sent ME 2 heal the broken-hearted...2 console those who mourn in Zion, 2 give them beauty 4 ashes, the oil of Joy 4 mourning, the garment of praise 4 the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified. Isaiah 61:1-3

O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory? The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be 2 God, who gives us the victory thru our Lord Jesus Christ.  ICorinthians 15:55-57

The Lord has comforted His people, and will have mercy on His afflicted. Isaiah 49:13

God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, 4 the former things have passed away. Revelation 21:4

Prayer:  LORD, You have walked thru the valley of death, and You know the way. In this time of sorrow, led me 2 Your secret place of comfort and healing. Sustain me w/You Love, and restore peace 2 my soul.  You are near 2 those who are broken-hearted, and I need You 2 wrap Your strong and comforting arms around me today. Replace my ashes w/Your beauty, may pain w/Your purpose, and my heavy heart w/Your oil of Joy.  Lord, bring me thru this dark valley 2 a new day of hope and peace. As You are comforting and blessing me, use me 2 be a blessing 2 others. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

Casting all your care upon Him, 4 He cares 4 u.  IPeter 5:7

05. Overwhelmed by Circumstances - WE ARE NOT promised a trouble-free life in this world, but we ARE promised God will be w/us all along the way. He promises 2 lead us 2 victory if we put our trust in Him [2Corinthians 2:14].  Trust God today. Fix your eyes on Him instead of on your circumstances. As u do, you'll find Him 2b trustworthy--even in your darkest hours.  Remember: The Lord is right there w/u! Draw near 2 Himm, and He has promised 2 draw near 2 u, and He beckons u 2 come.

The Lord is Good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and He knows those who trust Him. Nahum 1:7

When my heart is overwhelmed; lead me 2 the rock that is higher than I.  Psalm 61:2

The waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul; then the swollen waters would have gone over our soul. Our help is in the Name of the Lord, who made Heaven and Earth.  Psalm 124:4-5,8

Psalm 121:1-2

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient 4 the day is its own trouble.
Matthew 6:34

If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men rose up against us, then they would have swallowed us alive, when their wrath was kindled against us; then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul; then the swollen waters would have gone over our soul.  Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us as prey 2 their teeth. Our soul has escaped as a bird from the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we have escaped.  Psalm 124:6-8


Prayer:  FATHER, I need 2 hear Your strong and comforting voice today. My problems seem overwhelming, but I choose 2 fix my gaze on You. I choose 2 trust in Your mighty power and Your faithfulness.  Come 2 my aide, Lord. Lead me 2 the rock that is higher than I. Teach me 2 find shelter in the secret place of Your Presence.  I know that nothing will happen today that is outside Your knowledge and control. This is the day You have made, and I will rejoice and be glad in it! In Jesus' name. Amen.

Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed;  save me, and I shall be saved, for You are my praise.  Jeremiah 17:14


06. SICK - WHILE MOST PEOPLE today accept disease and death as 'normal' parts of life, they were never God's original intention. When the World was first created, the Bible records, "Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good" [Genesis 1:31]. Disease and death  only entered the World after Adam and Eve disobeyed the Lord and allowed satanic forces 2 gain a foothold on humankind [Genesis 3].  When Jesus came 2 Earth, He announced that God's Kingdom was at hand. He healed the sick, cast out demons, fed the multitudes, and raised the dead. All of this was a demonstration of the Blessings God intended at His original creation.  If u or a loved one is in need of healing today, remember that Jesus is your Great Physician. When He preached the Gospel of the Kingdom, He healed "ALL kinds of sickness and ALL kinds of disease" [Matthew 4:23]. So no matter what kind of healing u might need, Jesus is ready 2b your Healer!

Beloved, I pray that u may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. 3John2

Jesus went about all the cities and villiages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. Matthew 9:35

The whole multitude sought 2 touch Him, 4 power went out from Him and healed them all. Luke 6:19

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday [Past], today [Presence], and forever [Future]. Hebrews 13:8.

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases.  Psalm 103:2--3

If u diligently heed the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear 2 His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on u which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I AM the Lord who heals [continual process] u. Exodus 15:26

He was wounded 4 our transgressions, He was bruised 4 our iniquities; the chastisement 4 our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53:5

My son, give attention 2 MY Words; incline your ear 2 MY sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart; 4 they are LIFE 2 those who find them, and HEALTH 2 all their flesh. Proverbs 4:20-22

He sent His Word and Healed them, and Delivered them from their destructions. Psalm 107:20

Is anyone among u sick? Let him call 4 the Elders of the Church, and let them pray over him, anointing him w/oil in the Name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. 
James 5:14-15

These signs will follow those who believe...They will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover. Mark 16:17-18

If the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in u, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life 2 your mortal bodies thru the His Spirit who dwells in u.  Romans 8:11

LORD JESUS, You are the same yesterday [my past], today [my current day], and forever [my future], and nothing is 2 difficult 4 You! I bring You my physical ailment today, asking 4 You 2 mightily intervene w/Your healing power. Manifest Your Kingdom and replace disease w/wholeness.  Send Your Word and heal me, Lord. Deliver me from every attack of the enemy. I declare that You died 4 my sickness as well as 4 my sins!  I give You praise in advance 4 touching my body and restoring me 2 health. May You be glorified thru my body as Your holy temple! In Your Name. AMEN.

Come, and let us return 2 the Lord.  Hosea 6:1

07. Spiritually Lukewarm - PERHAPS YOU'RE AT a place in your life today when you're crying out 2 God, as David once did: "Restore 2 me the Joy of Your Salvation!" [Psalm 51:12]. The Lord heard David's prayer, and He hears yours as well. Sometimes we can allow the cares and busyness of life 2 rob us of our peace and joy. Instead of the abundant life God intends 4 us, we experience drudgery and discouragement. Life becomes a rat race, and we lose sight of our calling and purpose in the Lord.  Come b4 God w/a humble heart today, and ask Him 2 restore your "first love" relationship w/Him [Revelation 2:4]. He will give u His Joy, rekindle your passion, and set u fre from lukewarm living!

Break up your fallow ground, 4 it is time 2 seek the Lord, till He comes and rains righteousness on u.  Hosea 10:12

I know your works, that u are neither cold nor hot. I could wish u were cold or hot. So then, bcoz u are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit u out of MY mouth.  Bcoz u say, "I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing"--and do not know that u are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked--I counsel u 2 buy from ME gold refined in the fire, that u may be rich; and white garments, that u may be clothed, that the shame of ur nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes w/eye salve, that u may see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.  Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears MY Voice and opens the door, I will come in 2 him and dine w/him, and he w/ME. To him who overcomes I will grant 2 sit w/ME on MY Throne, as I also overcame and sat down w/MY Father on His Throne. He who has an ear, let him hear.  Revelation 3:15-22

Stand in the ways and see, and ask 4 the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; then u will find Rest 4 your souls.
Jeremiah 61:6

My anger has turned away from him. Hosea 14:4

I will heal their Backsliding, I will love them freely, 4 "Return 2 ME, and I will return 2 u," says the Lord of Hosts. Malachi 3:7

Beware that u do not forget the Lord your God by not keeping His commandments, His judgments, and His statutes which I command u today, lest--when u have eaten and are full, and have built beautiful houses and dwell in them; and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold are multiplied, and all that u have is multiplied; when your heart is lifted up, and u forget the Lord your God who brought u out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. Deuteronony 8:11-14

The backslider in heart will be filled w/his own ways, but a good man will be satisfied from above. Proverbs 14:14

Today, if u will hear His Voice, do not harden your hearts...Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of u an evil heart of Unbelief in departing from the living God; but exhort one another daily, while it is called "Today," lest any of u be hardened thru the deceitfulness of sin.  For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast 2 the end. Hebrews 3:7-8,12-14

Prayer:  FATHER, restore my passion 4 You and Your purposes. Deliver me from apathy and lukewarmness. Remove anything in my life that is hindering my intimacy w/You.  Lord, forgive me 4 the earthbound perspective I've had. Instead of living 4 the things of this World, I want my life 2 reflect Your eternal purposes.  I'm tired of just going thru the motions in my Christian life. Take me off my treadmill of mediocre living and give me new Vision 4 my destiny in You. I want 2 impact lives 4 Your Kingdom! In Jesus' Name. AMEN.

As 4  God, His way is perfect; the Word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield 2 all who trust in Him. Psalm 18:30

08.  Uncertain About God's Ways - THE BIBLE MAKES 2 important points about our knowledge of God's ways. On the one hand, His ways are clearly higher than our ways. But the Bible also reveals God's desire 2 show us His ways. realizing this, David prayed,
Show me Your ways, O Lord; teach me Your paths" [Psalm 25:4].  And amazingly, the apostle Paul states, "We have the mind of Christ" [1Corinthisan 2:16].  God wants 2 show u His ways. He wants 2 reveal His great plan and purpose 4 your life! But u have a role 2 play in this too.  Take time 2 study and meditate on God's Word. Set aside a special time and place each day when u can come into His Presence and Listen 2 His Voice. Keep a Journal of the Direction He gives u 4 your life, and commit yourself 2 following His Instructions. The more u trust and obey Him, the more He will unfold a Revelation of His Will 4 u!

"MY thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways MY ways, " says the Lord. "For as the Heavens are higher than the Earth, so are MY ways higher than your ways, and MY thoughts than your thoughts."  Isaiah 55:8-9

Oh, the depth of the riches both of the Wisdom and Knowledge of  God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out ! "For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has become His counselor? Or who has first given 2 Him and it shall be repaid 2 him?" For of Him and thru Him and 2 Him are all things , 2 whom be glory forever.  Romans 11:33-36

Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the hart of man the things which God has prepared 4 those who love Him. But God has revealed them 2 us thru His Spirit.  ICorinthians 2:9-10

Catipillar from my friend in Belgium.

09. Waiting on God - ALMOST NOTHING is as difficult 4 most people as waiting. Whether we're waiting in rush hour traffic or in a grocery store line, impatience--or even anger--can engulf us.

However, God repeatedly tells us in His Word that we are 2 wait on Him.  This means taking time 2 enter into His Presence 2 worship Him...Listen... Meditate...and share our heart.  Why is this so important? Waiting is a Key that
unlocks greater intimacy w/Him. And the Bible describes many amazing benefits 4 those who take time 2 wait on the Lord: Strength, Hope, Courage, Provision, guidance, Encouragement, and Vision. all these-- and more--are the Rewardss you will receive when u wait on God!

Have u not known? Have u not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the Earth, neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power 2 the weak, and 2 those who hav no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall.  Those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up w/wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.  Isaiah 40:28-31

I wait 4 the Lord, my soul waits, and in His Word I do hope.  Psalm 130:5

I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wat on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say on the Lord!  Psalm 27:13-14

This I recall 2 my mind, therefore I have hope. Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed, bcoz His compassion(s) fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. "The Lord is my portion," says my soul, "Therefore I hope in Him!"  The Lord is good 2 those who wait 4 Him, 2 the soul who seeks Him. It is good that one should hope and wait quietly 4 the Salvation of the Lord.  Lamentations 3:21-26

I will stand my watch and set myself on the rampart, and watch 2C what He will say 2 me, and what I will answer when I am corrected.  The Lord answered me and said: "WRITE the VISION and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it.  For the VISION is yet 4 an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Tho it tarries, wait 4 it; bcoz it will surely come, it will not tarry. Habakkuk 2:1-3

Indeed, let no one who waits on You be ashamed...Show me Your ways, O Lord; Teach me Your paths.  Psalm 25:3-4

Prayer:  FATHER, still my anxious heart and teach me 2 wait on You. I need You so much! Help me mount up like an eagle that is soaring 2 new heights.  Lord, I need fresh vision 4 my life.

I celebrate this day of new beginnings in my relationship w/You.  In Jesus powerful Name; AMEN!

God's Promises When U Need..

Introduction

=========  Sometimes we must be re-directed back 2 God's loving arms, life keeps us busy and all we need is 2 find the WORD that meets our present need. Drink and quinch your thirst if u need.. Jehovah Jireh as your provider.

~ Beloved if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God.   IJohn 3:21 ~

01. Confidence - FEELINGS OF FEAR and inadequacy can steal our confidence, boldness, and peace of mind. Such feelings attempt 2 paralyze us from stepping into God's highest will 4 our lives. But in the midst of all the challenges of life, God wants us 2 put our trust in Him. When we do, He gives us the confidence we need 2 find victory in every situation. This confidence does not come from a reliance on our own ability, 4 the Word says "we should not trust in ourselves but in God" [2Corinthians 1:9].

Do u want this kind of unshakable confidence in your life? Then remember the words of the apostle Paul: "Not that we are sufficient of ourselves 2 think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God" [2Corin 3:5].

We may boldly say: "The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do 2 me?" [Hebrews 13:6]

Do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. For u have need of endurance, so that after u have done the will of God, u may receive the promise. [Heb 10:35-36]

Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in u will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ. [Philippians 1:6]

The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion. [Prov 28:1]

The Lord God is my strength; He will make my feet like deer's feet, and He will make me walk on my high hills. [Habakkuk 3:19]

In all these things we are more than conquerors thru Him who loved us. [Romans 8:37]

This is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we Ask Anything according 2 His Will, He hears us. And if we Know that He hears us, Whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him [IJohn 5:14-15]

I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, 4 it is the power of God 2 Salvation 4 everyone who believes, 4 the Jew first and also 4 the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith-2-faith; as it is written, "The just shall live by faith." [Romans 1:16-17]

"Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit," says the Lord of Hosts. [Zechariah 4:6]

The Lord will be your confidence, and will keep your foot from being caught. [Proverbs 3:16]                   Visit lifeverse today

Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; 4 the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with u. He will not leave u nor forsake u. [Deuteronomy 31:6]

In the day when I cried out, You answered me, and made me bold with strength in my soul. [Ps 138:3]

Most assuredly, I say 2 u, he who believes in ME, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, bcoz I go 2 My Father. [John 14:12]

Prayer:  HEAVENLY FATHER, I choose 2 put my trust in You. You are my confidence, my hope, my source, and my victory. Nothing is impossible 4 You!
I trust You 2 give me the strength and boldness I need 2 face every challenge I encounter today. I won't shrink back from my calling in You. I trust You 2 complete the good work You have started in my life! In Jesus' name. AMEN.

I can do ALL things thru Christ who strengthens me [bcoz it is Him doing it, not me] Phil 4:13

02. Courage -  HEBREWS 11 lists some men and women in the Lord's "Hall of Faith." Each of these heroes exemplified bold faith in God that enabled them 2 take courage, even in very difficult circumstances. We ea need courage in order 2 fulfill God's purposes 4 our lives. We may not have 2 slay a giant [as David], survive a den of hungry lions [like Daniel], or lead people across the Red Sea [as Moses did], but we will surely need the same kind of courage and boldness 2 achieve the victory God has mapped out 4 our lives. Whatever challenges u are facing TODAY, remember this: You can be bold and strong, 4 God has promised 2b w/u!

Wait on the Lord. Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart. Wait, I say, on the Lord! [Ps 27:14]

Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, 4 the Lord your God is w/u wherever u go. [Joshua 1:9]

I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things 2 come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able 2 separate us from the Love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. [Rom 8:38-39]

Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all u who hope in the Lord. [Ps 31:24]

Have u not known? Have u not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power 2 the weak, and 2 those who have no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and b4 weary, and the young men shall utterly fall, but those who wait on the Lord shall RE-new their strength; they shall mount up w/wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.

Thanks 4 promising 2b w/me, no matter what challenges I may face today. I choose 2 rest in Your promise that nothing can separate me from Your Love. I put all my fears at Your feet, and I trust You 2 give me Your strength and strategy 4 triumph in every area of my life. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

The Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty.  2Corinthians 3:17

03. Deliverance - GOD NEVER intended 4 His people 2b fearful or hesitant in dealing w/satan and the forces of darkness. The Gospels describe deliverance as a vital part of Jesus' ministry, and it is still a vital ministry today! Jesus not only demonstrated the importance of preaching, teaching, and healing, but He also showed us the value of spiritual discernment, casting out demons, rebuking satan, and taking authority over the powers of darkness. We do not need 2 shrink back from this spiritual battle, 4 the Bible says God has given us the weapons and armor we need 4 victory. As u declare His Word over your life, God will deliver u from every chain and bondage--and He will bring u into His freedom!

The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, bcoz He has anointed Me 2 preach the gospel 2 the poor; He has sent Me 2 heal the broken-hearted, 2 proclaim liberty 2 the captives and recovery of sight 2 the blind, 2 set at liberty those who are oppressed; 2 proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. [Luke 4:18-19]

For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. [IJohn 3:8]

You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make u free...Therefore if the Son makes u free, u shall be free indeed. [John 8:32,36]

The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. [Romans 8:2]

But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, u have your fruit 2 holiness, and the end, everlasting life. [Romans 6:22]

Lord, even the demons are subject 2 us in Your Name. [Luke 10:17]

Behold, I give u the authority 2 trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and Nothing shall by any means hurt u. [Luke 10:19]

You are my hiding place; You shall preserve me from trouble; You shall surround me w/songs of deliverance. [Psalm 32:7]

The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my Deliverer; the God of my strength, in whom I will trust. [2Samual 22:2-3]

I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust." Surely He shall deliver u from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence. [Ps 91:2-3]

The Lord will deliver me from every evil work and preserve me 4 His heavenly kingdom. To Him be glory forever and ever.
[2Timothy 4:18]

Do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory forever. [Matthew 6:13]

Prayer:  HEAVENLY FATHER, thank You 4 sending Jesus 2 destroy the works of the devil and set spiritual captives free. Your Word says You've given Your people weapons and armor 2 overcome ALL the power of the enemy!  I submit my life fully 2 You and ask You 2 reveal any demonic influence or bondage in my life. I repent of areas of sin that have given the enemy a foothold.

In Jesus' Name, I rebuke any demon that would oppress, torment, or bind me or my loved ones. I declare freedom and deliverance in Jesus' might Name! O Lord, Thank You that Your sweet Holy Spirit in me is more powerful than any satanic weapon formed against me. In Jesus' sweet name. AMEN!

I will be merciful 2 their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deed. I will remember no more. Hebrews 8:12

04. Forgiveness -  GOD WANTS 2 SHOW U His forgiveness, and He wants u 2 know you're forgiven (IJohn 5:11-12). Being forgiven in God's sight isn't a matter of good works, penance, or just trying harder-it's based on the work of Jesus on the Cross when He died for your sins!  Isaiah 53:6 says, "All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, every one, 2 his own way; and the Lord has laid on [Jesus] the iniquity of us all."  If u don't yet have assurance that u are forgiven and accepted by God, this can be your day, your MOMENT! for a New Beginning! On the basis of God's Word, turn from any known sins in your life and ask Him 2 forgive u, 4 He already has provided it.

In Him we have redemption thru His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according 2 the riches of His grace.  Ephesians 1:7

If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away, behold, all things have become new. 2Corinthians 5:17

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from destruction, who crowns u w/lovingkindness and tender mercies, who satisfies your mouth w/good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

No matter what your circumstances are today, God says He wants 2 give u a wonderful 'future and a hope."
