daily prayer

Good morning! How are we faithing? What a day to be alive! I hear from some who are not satisfied or are unhappy with their life. Whether it's money, stuff, relationships, job etc. Wow. How do you survive unhappy? How do you get out of bed if it's all that bad? We need to recognise why we feel this way. Is it true? Are these things that bad? What are we using as a gauge? Is it selfishness? I know when I am unhappy it ends up being me singing the blues. It's me boo hooing because things are not perfect in my estimation. Then, thankfully, I read the Word and get back on track, roll my eyes at my own selfishness and lack of trust that God will and is providing all my needs. Are you there? Do you complain or despise your days? Why? All the things you can find wrong have solutions. Our well being is not dependant on our circumstances and if it has become that way, we need to stop and seek God because otherwise we are gonna be miserable by our own volition.

Eph 2:1-5
As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath. But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions-it is by grace you have been saved.
NIV

Ps 84:10-11
Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere;I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked. For the LORD God is a sun and shield;the LORD bestows favor and honor;no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.
NIV


Mal 4:2-3
But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. And you will go out and leap like calves released from the stall. Then you will trample down the wicked; they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I do these things," says the LORD Almighty.
NIV

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your Word that is truth and strength for our days. Teach us to see you and only you in us and help us take the joy you give and see and use it in all our circumstances. Help us see needs in those that we meet and greet every day. Lord, we lift those mentioned today and ask for a blessing and a peace that only you can provide. Thank you for revealing yourself to Kelsey and welcome her into your kingdom! In Jesus name, Amen
