daily prayer

Good morning! How are we faithing? It's Friday!! I see many a post and letter saying things like,"can't wait for Friday!" or "can't wait for the weekend". Gee whiz, I understand the sentiment but do you really despise your endeavors during the week that you just get through to the weekend? Man, that's a sad state to be in. Our work is necessary for survival. Our attitude and demeanor at work is a reflection on our hearts. This isn't to chastise but to examine ones self and see if our attitude is becoming our Lord or flies in the face of sound biblical wisdom. We endure the same things as the rest of the world but how we deal and how we come out the other side is a witness to our faith. I have things I am not to tickled to have to do but doing it as if I'm doing it for my savior will change the outlook. Our soundness of mind and us being able to go through our days without fear comes from the power Jesus gave when he came into our lives. We must remember that so when we feel beaten down or stressed severely we can remember his Words to urge us on. This first verse has saved my mind and heart from despair many times...

2 Tim 1:7
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
KJV

Rom 8:15-16
For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father." The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children.
NIV

Ps 34:4
I sought the LORD, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.
NIV

Ps 143:10
Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
NIV

Level ground. Cool man! The mountains and obstacles we face are leveled by our Lord and Master. Our savior has already beaten what ever you face. That fact when fully realized causes us to move forward regardless of the fallout. That fallout is Gods to deal with when we obey and he will teach and show you that level path. Ain't that cool?

Remember Amanda Hammond...remember our leaders...

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for everything you show us in your Word. Lord, help us take on the attitude of peace and love and of contentment. Help us see the root cause of the things perpetrated against us. Lord we know others we meet need you! Lord, bless those who seek your face, in Jesus' name, amen
