As we prepare for another year and New Year’s resolutions are made, unfortunately, 2017 will be like 2016, if we hold on to the same people, places, unforgiveness, vices, etc... It’s never enough to say what we will do and never take action, because faith with no works is dead. (James 2:17) Take action, make steps, towards the substance of things you’re hoping for will actually happen, and give God full control of your life and circumstances. (Hebrews 11:1, Jeremiah 29:11, Romans 8:28) It’s true; you can avoid the emotional rollercoaster in 2017! (Philippians 4:7) I encourage you not to curse your crisis, leave the outcome to God & Give ALL Your Worries & Cares To God—He Cares For You! (1 Peter 5:7 NLT) “Let go of your concerns! Then you will know that I am God. I rule the nations. I rule the earth.” (Psalm 46:10 GW) ~ GOD Pray This Prayer With Me: Father, whenever I’m faced with a decision or an intimidating situation, please help me to put my wholehearted trust in Yo...

In areas of life where it seems the only option is failure or setback, the LORD has already promised His children will always experience victory! (2 Corinthians 2:14) It may not seem that way now, no matter who tries to put a stumbling block or interrupt your progress, in the long run and in all things, you’re more than a conqueror through Him who loves you! (Romans 8:37-28) “I've told you this so that My peace will be with you. In the world you'll have trouble. But cheer up! I have overcome the world." (John 16:33 GWT) ~ GOD Pray This Prayer With Me: Father, Your plans for me are amazing and almost impossible for me to see without the eye-opening help of Your Spirit. I ask that You help me remain continually in tune and obedient to the leading of Your Holy Spirit! I humbly pray this prayer, in Jesus' Name, Amen. Never forget, in all circumstances, God loves you and you are extremely valuable and important in God’s eyes! Have a great day! In His service, Jacob....

God is present with His children, especially during trials and hardships—every day, every hour, every minute and every second, God is with us! (Psalm 46:1, Matthew 1:23) God is not only with us, but God is omnipotent {all power} within us, supplying everything we need to carry out His purpose for our life! (1 John 4:4, Romans 8:28-29) I encourage you even through your greatest fear and trial, to be strong in the LORD and the power of His might! (Ephesians 6:10) When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you! (Isaiah 43:2) ~ GOD Pray This Prayer With Me: Father, as my faith is tested to produce endurance, I ask for Your strength and longevity. (James 1:4, Hebrews 10:36) May my life bring You glory and honor! I humbly pray this prayer, in Jesus' Name, Amen. Never forget, in all circumstances, God loves you...

A child has been born for us; to us a son is given… He is called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace! (Isaiah 9:6) As we celebrate Jesus’ birth this Christmas Day, let’s not become too busy like the innkeeper in Luke 2:7. Let’s make time for Jesus, our King of kings and Lord of lords! Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the people of Zion be glad in their King! (Psalm 149:2) “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life!” (John 8:12) ~ GOD Pray This Prayer With Me: Father, as the wise men searched for the star, I too seek to worship You. (Matthew 2) Thank You for giving Your son for me and so many others. I pray Your birth is renewed within my heart this Christmas Day! I humbly pray, in Jesus' mighty name, amen! Have a Merry Christmas! Never forget, in all circumstances, God loves you and you are extremely valuable and important in God’s eyes! In His service, Jacob... Check...

"The virgin will become pregnant and give birth to a son and they will name Him Immanuel," which means "God is with us!" (Matthew 1:23) Through life’s greatest difficulties and most threatening valley’s, we have nothing to dread or be saddened by, because God is with us! (Psalm 23:4) God will never leave you to battle your way through difficulty alone. Because God is for you, nothing or no one will prevail against you!

Without Christ’s birth, there would be no Christmas. Without Jesus coming as a baby in the glory of His father, there would be no celebration. (Matthew 1:23, John 1:14) As we remember what God came to earth for, through His son Jesus, on a mission with you and I in mind, Christmas becomes truly life changing! (John 3:16) I encourage you to keep in your remembrance the joy of Christmas not just during this holiday season, but every day! When you obey My commandments, you remain in My love, just as I obey My Father's commandments and remain in His love. I have told you these things so that you will be filled with My joy. Yes, your joy will overflow! (John 15:10-11) ~ GOD Pray This Prayer With Me: LORD, I pray that my words and actions help me and others to continue to focus on Jesus, rather than distract from Him. Glory to You in the highest, I humbly pray, in Jesus' name, amen! Have a great day! Never forget, in all circumstances, God loves you and you are extremely valu...

No matter what you experience, we serve an Almighty God who can and will bring restoration to every day you’ve considered lost!

(2 Corinthians 5:7) God knows your beginning to your end and He will help you carry out all He has placed before you. (Isaiah 46:10) Don’t allow no one or nothing to break your focus. Choose to be victorious and not a victim. But thank God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!

(John 3:16) ~GOD Pray This Prayer With Me: Father, thank You for this wonderful season to celebrate Your wonderful birth!
