daily prayer

Good morning! How are we faithing? Again with tons on my mind. It is baffling yet interesting why salvation has to be the way it is. I know we are saved by Jesus and I know the path as I hope you do but sometimes I wonder why it is what it is. Why do some see it and some do not. Why it is so hard to remain pure and not fall into temptation. Understanding principles and how they apply to every day life isn't that hard to comprehend but sometimes we just want to toss everything in life and go sit on a creek bank and fish. Sometimes our lot in life gets so overwhelming we just want to scream! But the beauty of this salvation and inner peace from the savior is he always pulls us back. The footprint poem really does explain Jesus' presence in our lives. Jesus carries us when we need carrying, pushes us on with encouraging words when we need it, protects us from the enemy when he wants us all to fail. Remembering we are loved by God even in our bad deeds makes us desire to follow his ways and truths and thusly we fail less and less. The Bible tells us all the things that are unapproved by God and it also shows us how to live outside those unapproved actions. Only by a daily intake of the Word are we ever able to improve, not to earn any ride to heaven but to live a better more fulfilled life thus with the love of Jesus and an owners manual as it were, that inner joy grows and grows which results in less and less of the junk the world throws at us sticking...

2 Timothy 2:11-13
It is a trustworthy statement:
For if we died with Him, we shall also live with Him;
If we endure, we shall also reign with Him;
If we deny Him, He also will deny us;
If we are faithless, He remains faithful; for He cannot deny Himself.
NAS

2 Thessalonians 3:2-3
But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen and protect you from the evil one.
NAS

Matthew 24:35
"Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words shall not pass away.
NAS

Isaiah 25:1
O LORD, Thou art my God;
I will exalt Thee, I will give thanks to Thy name;
For Thou hast worked wonders,
Plans formed long ago, with perfect faithfulness.
NAS

Psalms 111:7-10
The works of His hands are truth and justice;
All His precepts are sure.
They are upheld forever and ever;
They are performed in truth and uprightness.
He has sent redemption to His people;
He has ordained His covenant forever;
Holy and awesome is His name.
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom;
A good understanding have all those who do His commandments;
His praise endures forever.
NAS
