daily prayer

Good morning! How are we faithing this Monday morning? Where do the weekends go? Another week to face without fear and loathing because we know our God walks with us. Everything that may suck this week will be overcome by us because our commander in this battle called life is superior to anyone or thing else! Think about that as you face your week.
I think we need to step back and think about where we stand in this journey and ask a few questions like; "do I compare my actions to others actions?", "does my thinking change due to circumstances or is my focus on God steadfast?" Two things that can get us caught up in a web of acting how we perceive we should or acting as God and his Word says. People have a tendency to point fingers and dictate behavior patterns based on preconceived notions of how they think we should. It really gets threatening when we profess our savior and stumble and even fall. The outside influences we all face can be overcome when we seek God and prepare for eventual trials. I know some things are just overwhelming but we need not fret and despair when things suck. When you stop and think, everything passes and yes even sometimes get worse but sometimes it gets better. I've learned that letting the circumstances effect the joy God gives with our faith in Jesus serves the wrong master.

2 Cor 4:5-6
For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.
NIV


Eph 5:8-14
For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said:
"Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."
NIV

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for being with us even when we don't see you. Thank you for shinning in our hearts and help us focus and see that light in the midst of stuff that kicks our butts. Lord we thank you for all you do that keeps us from falling into the pits and help us remember that when we feel like we have fallen. Bless those who we mentioned today, heal them in such a fantastic way that they smile with your light knowing you are with them! in Jesus name, amen
