In Exodus 13:21, the same God that went before the Children of Israel by day in a pillar of cloud, to lead them along their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, to travel both day and night; is the same God that will make a way for you! Trusting God totally through difficulty confirms your faith, maximizes the power of God within you and gifts never thought possible within you. #God will make your rocky path smooth! (Proverbs 3:6) #Rely on God’s strength not your own! (2 Corinthians 12:9) # # What God started within you, He will complete until the day of Christ Jesus! (Philippians 1:6)   “Forget what happened in the past, and do not dwell on events from long ago. I am going to do something new. It is already happening. Don't you recognize it? I will clear a way in the desert. I will make rivers on dry land!” “I am the LORD! If I say it, it will happen. There will be no more delays!” (Isaiah 43:18-19, Ezekiel 12:25) ~ GOD   Pray This Prayer With Me: LORD...

The psalmist David declared in Psalm 40:1, “I waited patiently for the LORD.” The word patiently means David waited without complaining, he suffered long and he did not get weary. (Galatians 6:9) Patience is key when trusting God. (James 1:4) As you walk by faith, waiting and resting in the promises of God, God will hear your cry and deliver! (Psalm 34:4, 2 Chronicles 20:17) What may seem motionless or endless, God sees as an opportunity to release an abundance of grace! (2 Corinthians 12:9-10) Don’t allow your focus to be on how long you’ve been waiting or for a sequence of events to take place. Wait On God and rest assured—everything God has promised will come in His perfect timing and His purpose will bring good out of this! (Isaiah 40:31, Romans 8:28) “I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for!” (Jeremiah 29:11) ~ GOD Pray This Prayer With Me: Father, Thank You for never leaving or fail...

The devil can’t defeat a believer that has joy! In view of that, you must never allow the pressures or circumstances of life to steal your joy. Only once we find joy in Christ will we be able to function and thrive in life. (Romans 14:16-18) God’s Word in your heart will produce unspeakable joy, for “the joy of the Lord is your strength!” (Nehemiah 8:10) Jeremiah 33:11 commands us to declare our joy and states that if we do, God will restore us from captivity! #Good Morning & Good Day—New Joy Is Here! #A joyful heart is good like medicine!” (Proverbs 17:22) “If you keep My commandments and obey My teaching, you will remain in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and remain in His love. I have told you these things so that My joy and delight may be in you, and that your joy may be made full and complete and overflowing!” (John 15:10-15) ~ GOD Pray This Prayer With Me: LORD, You have come to my rescue many times before and you’ve turned my worst day around fo...

…Don’t Get Worked Up About What May Or May Not Happen Tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes! (Matthew 6:34) God has incredible and extraordinary blessings in mind for those who remain focused on the goal! (Philippians 3:13-14) One creative idea from God can propel you to new and greater levels, beyond anything you’ve seen or heard! (1 Corinthians 2:8-10) Regardless of what you see or what confronts you or what the facts reveal, you must believe and declare, “God is fighting for me!” “My victory is already intact!” Do not be fearful to move by faith, because of what you see or do not see. As you walk by faith and not by sight, your views are limited, but never forget, “Faith assures us of things we expect and convinces us of the existence of things we cannot see!” (Hebrews 11:1) #Our GOD is with us! (Psalm 46:1, Matthew 1:23) #Our GOD goes before us! (Deuteronomy 31:8) #Our God will fight for us! (Deuteronomy 3:22) #An unexplainable testi...

The LORD Bless The Righteous, Surrounding Them With His Favor As A Shield! (Psalm 5:12) The dictionary defines favor as “A friendly or favorable regard; approval or support, to make easier or more possible; to get advantage; to be gracious, friendly or an obliging act that is freely granted.” Psalm 5:12 is a reminder to us that wherever we go, whatever we experience in life—God favors the righteous! Our heavenly Father sees every minor and major detail of life, from the beginning of time through eternity. (Psalm 139:13-18) His mercies never cease—they are new every morning! (Lamentations 3:22-23) Be on the lookout for God’s favor that’s in motion right now, even in the midst of your difficulty—Trust God! (Nahum 1:7) “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) ~ GOD Pray This Prayer With Me: Father, today, tomorrow and in the days to come, help me to see clearly ...

is Mercies Are New Every Morning! (Lamentations 3:22-23) In Lamentations 3, mercy means undeserved or unmerited favor—GRACE! It’s easy to recognize the noticeable places God has graced us, but it’s not so easy to see when things don’t seem to work out or when a season of difficulty comes.   Part of the reason God has given His children favor, is so He can continually provide life experiences to stretch us, so we can receive more and grow in His grace. Things aren’t going to always go the way we’ve plan, but as long as we remain confident God’s purposes are for our good, we will be rewarded! (Romans 8:28, Hebrews 10:35) When discouragement comes, don’t quit—God is empowering you to outlive it and He’s given you grace for today through His indwelling Spirit! #Because God is for you, in all things you’re more than victorious through Him who first loved you! (Romans 8:37, 1 John 4:19) #Nothing Can Separate Us from God’s Love! (Romans 8:31-39) “My Grace Is Sufficient For You, My Po...

If you put your hope and faith in God, He will deliver you today. Do not allow any circumstances to slow your progress and hinder you confidence. God has the unique ability to always be on time to meet your every need. No matter what your need is today, He is more than able to meet that need. There is no need bigger than our MIGHTY GOD! There are no problems that He doesn’t have the answer! ) #Every time your faith will produce total victory! (I John 5:4) #You are called to win in life! (Romans 8:28) “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to Me. My peace, which transcends all understanding, will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus!” "I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Nothing is too hard for Me!” (Philippians 4:6-7, Jeremiah 32:27 ) ~ GOD Pray This Prayer With Me: LORD, I thank You for being an Always Present, Almighty, Everlasting and Forever Faithful! I ask You to help me cont...
