daily prayer

    Good morning!  How are we faithing? My my there is so much stuff happening in the world today. Besides the news I have run into so many people struggling in marriages, jobs, relationships, their faith and the list goes on.  Aerosmith had a song back in the early 90's called "Living On The Edge" and compared to that time frame, things have escalated tremendously. People we have to pause for a second and curb our tongues. We have to reel in our tempers. We must be vigilant to the devil and his minions ways because those things can destroy us. Why would anyone lash out with hurtful cutting words? Why would anyone treat others the way they would not stand to be treated? The Word tells us not to sin in our anger and biting commentary with past things used to hurt is selfish and flat cruel besides being contrary to what Jesus told us. There's a couple I know of that have some legal issues due to past behavior and people, there are consequences for our behavior.  God forgives but the world may punish and if you are there, suck it up and learn from it. I do not mean to be harsh but the world is harsh and we are in it and if you were of it for a season or whatever, there can be penalties. Jesus already whooped whatever you are facing, or going through, or are fixin to go through, so it makes sense to recognize that fact and learn during the journey from here to that victory already won. Our peace is dependent on the love God has and us realizing our struggle and chasing after the wind only exacerbates the problem. Seek his face. Read the Word to learn so you wont keep repeating the same things over and over and remember, God loves you enough to offer his salvation through his son.



Col 3:8-10
  but now do ye also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, railing, shameful  lie not one to another; seeing that ye have put off the old man with his doings, and have put on the new man, that is being renewed unto knowledge after the image of him that created him:



Eph 4:26-27
  Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
 neither give place to the devil.



remember Cliffe Allan....remember Jason, Stephanie and Robert...

Heavenly Father,
  Thank you for the cross. Lord, impart wisdom on us so we do not sin in our anger. Grant us restraint to not lash out when we are angry. We lift those hurt by words and ask a healing and a clearness of mind to see truth. Lord shut the lips of those who stir descent among your people.  Lord we lift those seeking to work to support their families, open doors and make those aware when you have opened that door. Protect the innocent and grant courage to us to protect the innocent. Guide our minds and vision, in Jesus name, amen
