God Is Always At Work For The Good Of Everyone Who Loves Him ! They are the ones God has chosen for His purpose! (Romans 8:28) God Will Bless You With A Future Filled With Hope—A Future Of Success, Not Of Suffering ! (Jeremiah 29:11 CEV) Life is never problem-free. The truth is we’re either in a crisis, coming out of a crisis or about to encounter a crisis. That’s just life, but we have to maintain the proper outlook and that is: God is still in charge and it will turn out okay! It all works out in the end and if it hasn’t worked out yet, then it’s not the end! (Romans 8:28) God’s Word To You : “For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope!” (Jeremiah 29:11 NLT) Pray This Prayer With Me : Father, today, tomorrow and in all the days to come, speak to me about Your plans for my life. Strengthen me, as I live out my faith each day and help me to live out my life as You have purposed me...

God Is A Present Help In Times Of Trouble ! (Psalm 46:1KJV) God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes. (Matthew 6:34) The LORD Almighty Is With Us ! (Psalm 46:11) God is constantly and unfailingly at work in our lives, even in the midst of pain and suffering. For all the trouble that surrounds us in this world, God has a positive answer! God is above all creation, above all of our struggles and He is willing & able to help us! No matter the current or future circumstances, rest in the promises that comes from God who is in control of our futures and our very own lives! Something good is going to happen for you! (Romans 8:28) God's Word To You : "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you!" "I am always with you until the end of time!" (Hebrews 13:5, Matthew 28:20) Pray this prayer with me : Father, thank You for being my personal protection and being the forever present help in my life. You are the Lord Al...

Without God We Can’t Do Anything, But All Things Can Be Done Through Christ Who Strengthens ! (John 15:5, Philippians 4:13) You Have Already Won A Big Victory, Because God’s Spirit In You Is Far Stronger Than Anything In The World ! (1 John 4:4 MSG) There Is Unlimited Greatness Of God’s Power For Us Who Believe, According To The Working Of His Mighty Strength! (Ephesians 1:19) Continue to look up, don’t give up, He will show up! He will strengthen you! God’s Word To You : "I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?” “Don't be afraid, because I am with you. Don't be intimidated; I am your God. I will strengthen you. I will help you!”(Jeremiah 32:27, Isaiah 41:10) Pray this prayer with me : Father, thank You that I can look to You and You are faithful to give me the strength I need. I trust in You and I look to You alone and I’m grateful that You are bigger than my trials, my fears and my struggles. I humbly pray, in Jesus' Mighty Name...

The Lord Laughs At The Wicked ! The wicked plots against the righteous and gnashes his teeth at him, but the Lord laughs at the wicked, because He sees that his day is coming! (Psalm 37:12-13 ESV) Do Not Be Agitated By Evildoers ! Do not envy those who do wicked things. They will quickly dry up like grass and wither away like green plants. (Psalm 37:1-2) Whenever we decide to take revenge and pay back evil for evil, we create a vicious cycle of evil that never stops. Revenge is an emotional rush to create a little pay back. In the short term revenge is fun and self-satisfying, but in the long run, revenge dishonors God. If we respond to bad with bad, we lose, but when someone treats us badly (evil) and we show them what we’re made of: the love, the righteousness and forgiveness modeled by Jesus, We Get The Best Of Evil By Doing Good! (Romans 12:21 MSG) God’s Word To You : “Don’t insist on getting even; that’s not for you to do. “I’ll do the judging,” says God. “I’ll take care of ...

It Hurries Toward Its Goal ! It won't be a lie! If it's delayed, wait for it! It will certainly happen! It won't be late! (Habakkuk 2:3) Those Who Put Their Trust In God, Will Not Be Ashamed ! (Psalm 25:3) If your path has led to pain, pressure and problems, it’s probably not what you’ve hoped for, but when God doesn’t seem to meet our expectations, it’s not that He doesn’t care; but He sees the big picture and He’s handling issues you or I can’t even begin to comprehend. (1 Corinthians 2:9) Satan loves to discourage us by focusing our attention on the things God has not done. If Satan can cause you to doubt God, your faith will be weakened, but I encourage you to continue to keep your expectations high and respond in faith to whatever God tells you. God Always Keeps His Word ! God’s Word To You : “I am the LORD! If I say it, it will happen. There will be no more delays!”(Ezekiel 12:25) Pray this prayer with me : Father, I thank You that You will preserve me in diffi...

Stand Still, And See What The LORD Will Do To Save You Today ! (Exodus 14:13) This Battle Is Not Yours It’s The Lord’s ! The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still! (Exodus 14:14) Often, it seems we encounter constant battles of inner struggle or defeat, because we are in continual warfare. During those moments, God does not want us to put up a fight, but His desire is that we simply show up to battle, but allow Him to fight for us, so He can receive the glory. With God, there is no such thing as a “big” problem. In fact, it may seem “bigger” to us, but it’s “easier” for Him! (Matthew 14:15–21) (Matthew 15:32–38) Ephesians 6:10-11 teaches us to be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power, put on all the armor that God supplies, so we will be able to stand up to everything the devil throws our way! With God, our problem small or big is never a problem, because there is nothing too hard for God! (Jeremiah 32:17) God’s Word To You : “I am the LORD, your God, who takes ...

Forget The Past And Look Forward To What Lies Ahead ! Run straight toward the goal to win the prize that God's Heavenly call offers in Christ Jesus! (Philippians 3:13-14) Don't lose your confidence. It will bring you a great reward! (Hebrews 10:35 MSG) The Old Has Gone, The New Has Come ! (2 Corinthians 5:17) Holding on to "the past" can be costly to our future. When one door closes, God has a greater door opened for you! God’s Word To You : “I have opened a door for you that no one can close. You have little strength, yet you obeyed My word and did not deny me!” (Revelation 3:8) “Forget what happened in the past, and do not dwell on events from long ago. I Am Going To Do Something New!” (Isaiah 43:18-19 MSG) “Everything I prophesied has come true, and now I will prophesy again. I will tell you the future before it happens!” (Isaiah 42:9 NLT) Pray this prayer with me : Father, when I run out of energy and desire I ask that You renew me over. (Isaiah 40:31) St...
