Good Morning  My Brothers & Sisters,



We need to develop  the habit of emptying our pockets, so to speak. We must  spread out our feelings  before the Lord, prayerfully sort things through, and ask  him to dispose of the trash. In so doing  we will discover  that we have exchanged our  "spirit of despair" for a 'garment of praise"(Isaiah 61:3)


                                      

Isaiah 61:3

To all who mourn in Israel, he will give a crown of beauty  for ashes, a joyous  blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair. In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks that the LORD has planted  for his own glory.

(New Living Translation)


(THIS IS THE WORD OF THE LORD)

God Bless

Prayer for Today



Lord,  in times  when I find myself stuck in a situation I don't like or enjoy, help me lift my eyes and look  to You for strength. I know that You love me and are looking  out for my life, so in those moments  when I am tempted to be nervous  or afraid, I ask You to help me rest in the knowledge that You will take care of me.

I pray this in Jesus' name!




Confession for the Day

I declare by faith that I am kept by the peace of God. Even when I find myself in situations  that seem unjust, undeserving, and unfair, God is secretly working  to turn things  around for my good. He loves me, He cares for me, and He wants to see the very best for my life. Therefore, I entrust  my job, my income, my marriage, my children, my health, and everything  else in my life into the hands of my heavenly Father!

I declare this by faith in Jesus' name
