daily prayer

Good morning! How are we faithing? His love endures forever. Our Lord is over all and his love endures forever. Everything we are dealing with, everything that comes against us, God's love endures forever. Good stuff and bad, pleasurable and painful he is the same. He will be beside you with his arm around you speaking truth. He whispers, "I know, I've been here too". Whatever you are facing is not uncommon to man. Whatever you see coming at you is not foreign to God. He is completely aware of your circumstance and wants you to find rest in him. We will go through things that really bite but if we remember he told us he is with us therefore if all seems bleak there must be a lesson in it. We need to remember to seek that rather than focus on the malady. Of course things need dealing with but I'm talking about our attitude and disposition because of whatever is happening. I drop my head lots of times and say"bummer" but I know that if my view of the situation is on God, I will be better, stronger for it. I may even get to the point where stuff that in the past would do me in will become like a snowflake, brushed off with not a mark left.

Ps 89:1-2
I will sing of the LORD's great love forever;with my mouth I will make your faithfulness known through all generations. I will declare that your love stands firm forever,that you established your faithfulness in heaven itself.
NIV

Ps 100:5
For the LORD is good and his love endures forever;his faithfulness continues through all generations.
NIV

Ps 118:4-7
Let those who fear the LORD say: "His love endures forever."
In my anguish I cried to the LORD, and he answered by setting me free. The LORD is with me; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? The LORD is with me; he is my helper. I will look in triumph on my enemies.
NIV

Ps 136
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good.
His love endures forever.

His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the Lord of lords:
His love endures forever.
to him who alone does great wonders,
His love endures forever.
who by his understanding made the heavens,
His love endures forever.
who spread out the earth upon the waters,
His love endures forever.
who made the great lights--
His love endures forever.
the sun to govern the day,
His love endures forever.
the moon and stars to govern the night;
His love endures forever.
to him who struck down the firstborn of Egypt
His love endures forever.
and brought Israel out from among them
His love endures forever.
with a mighty hand and outstretched arm;
His love endures forever.
to him who divided the Red Sea asunder
His love endures forever.
and brought Israel through the midst of it,
His love endures forever.
but swept Pharaoh and his army into the Red Sea;
His love endures forever.

His love endures forever.
who struck down great kings,
His love endures forever.
and killed mighty kings--
His love endures forever.
Sihon king of the Amorites
His love endures forever.
and Og king of Bashan--
His love endures forever.
and gave their land as an inheritance,
His love endures forever.
an inheritance to his servant Israel;
His love endures forever.
to the One who remembered us in our low estate
His love endures forever.
and freed us from our enemies,
His love endures forever.
and who gives food to every creature.
His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the God of heaven.
His love endures forever.
NIV

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your grace and love that teaches me to rely on you and to know you love me as I am. Thank you for the lessons this life brings and we ask you to bring to mind quickly your precepts and ways. Help us recognise truth. Lord we lift the lost to you because we want them to come to you like we did, broken and scared and all alone. Help them see you as the only way true peace beyond comprehension is attainable. Help the families suffering today. Bless this country and open the eyes of the leaders, in Jesus name we pray, Amen
