Dear Heavenly Father, I am thankful that I am a child of Yours, and that You are always there to meet every need that I have. My faith and trust are in You, and I know that whatever a day brings, You will be there with me. Give me the grace to deal with the problems that I must face. Also, may I remain humble when You reward me and bless me in special ways. May I always be mindful to give You thanks and praise for everything that You have done for me and my family. I do not want to take…

Blessed morning dear friends,I tell you,Here is the great secret of success. Work with all your might; but trust not in the least in your work.

And still again pray, and then work. And so on all the days of your life. The result will surely be, abundant blessing. Whether you see much fruit or little fruit, such kind of…

Dear Heavenly Father, I am grateful You are a God of truth. Lord, establish my lips to always speak the truth and deliver me from any deceitfulness. Fill me daily with the Holy Spirit so that I am empowered to walk in love toward all my sisters and brothers in the Lord. May I always be gracious toward others, but deliver me from any false flattery. I never want to be manipulative, but to always be honest and sincere in all my dealings with others. You are the God of truth, so may I…

Practice Spiritual Breathing.

In the last week we have studied the beautiful chapter, John 15, and about abiding in Jesus Christ, practicing his presence as a…

I've been thinking about things. It's actually difficult to comprehend. You hear stories about teen suicide. It's quite tragic that it's becoming so much more common and that it's become part our society.

Teen (and tragicly some under the age of 13) bullying lead to suicide. Bullycide.

How is it possible that we as a society have gotton to this point? This isn't like some kind of disease like lung cancer. People are literally taking their lives because they…

Dear Heavenly Father, I praise You for the opportunity to sow good things in the kingdom. Lord, deliver me from any fear that would keep me from turning loose of things I need to sow into Your work. Grant me the grace to give freely of all You have given me, knowing that I will reap in like kind. If I need finances, may I obediently give support into Your works. If I need encouragement, may I take the time to sow it into the lives of those around me. May I be known, as You were known --…

We are always asking God to forgive us. Yesterday, I was talking to the Lord about my faults, and was a little concerned as to how those faults affected my Christian walk. As I was driving along, I saw a sign in front of a local Church, which read, " GOD HAS FORGIVEN YOUR FAULTS, WHY DON'T YOU!!!" I couldn't understand why I drove that way, until I saw that sign. It was obvious that the Holy Spirit had purposed for me to go that way, just so that I could be encouraged by reading that sign.…

Galatians 6:16-18

And as for all who walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God. From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit,

A new creation to the image of Christ, as showing faith in him, is the greatest distinction between one man and another, and a blessing is declared on all who walk according to this rule. The blessings are, peace…

Key verse:…

What an amazing sight, it must be!

Seeing Christ seated on His throne,

as He offers a continual covering on behalf

of those that He considers His own.



Many have often wondered ‘why’,

as observed in the following question:

If Christ’s mission on Earth was fulfilled,

then ‘Why does He make for us daily intercession?’



Beside Jehovah, robed in holy righteousness,

Christ, our personal defender, pleads our case;

for Jesus is uniquely qualified; He…

The branch of the vine does not worry, and toil, and rush here to seek for sunshine, and there to find rain. No; it rests in union and communion with the vine; and at the right time, and in the right way, is the right fruit found on it. Let us so abide in the Lord Jesus.Let us completely join with Him,May His mercy and grace help us in this journey.Good Night.

As I've been thinking about things that have happened with the bullying and stuff...I remembered something.

I was in a very dangeous state of mind. I was suicidal but I kept my feelings to myself for the most part. I liked talking to people online because I figured they live far away,they can't tell on me.

So, I kept alot of the pain inside. I didn't like razors so I didn't cut. But, I did scratch myself. What was dangerous about that was people wouldn't see…

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for being a God of compassion. May we, as Your children, have Your compassionate heart also. Lord, give us wisdom as to how we should deal with those who are sluggards. Let us help them by sharing Your love with them; but Lord, may we be strong enough to say no to people who are manipulating us in order to use us for the wrong purposes. Give us Your discernment so that we know when people are lying to us, and the wisdom and love to respond in the proper…
