daily prayer

Good morning all! How are we faithing? There tons of things going on in our lives that seem to be so overwhelming that we wonder why or how we will ever overcome. Well the thing to keep in your mind is that Jesus has already overcome them. You current troubles are not new and your responses to them are not either. What Jesus has brought to us by the Holy Spirit and with his truth and sacrifice is a way for us to live in a a peaceful fashion daily. Does that mean we never experience turmoil? No but we have a peace knowing that we will come out the other side. The old covenant required priestly sacrifices and ritual cleansing for our sins. Now we just need the faith in Jesus because his blood was shed and the ritual is no longer necessary. I don't understand it all as to why God set things up the way he did but my figuring all the ins and outs or your figuring them out don't really matter. Suffice it for us to have that faith and to understand that God loves YOU enough to sacrifice his son so you wont have to. This can get really mind boggling but look at these verses below from scripture and just see his love for you.

Rom 8:1-11
There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace, because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so; and those who are in the flesh cannot please God. However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. And if Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who indwells you.
NAS

Isn't that reassuring? Comfort can be taken and a sigh of relief comes when we get a hold of that. God loves me. I simply thank him and believe. We recognise his sons sacrifice so we can approach the throne free from the dirt we get on us. Man...that load off so I can live with peace that comes no other way...

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for you care and love for us. We praise you and thank you for all things. We ask you set upon us such a peace even when we are heaped on by the junk in this world. Let us experience you in our lives. We lift those concerns mentioned and those not to you. Let these people see you...in Jesus name, amen
