daily prayer

     Good morning! How are we faithing?  You're out of breath. You're freaking out a bit.  You're wondering what the heck is going on! You're  at your wits end. You my friend are facing stress in a way that looks like it will overtake your very self.  I'm here to tell you today that you must not isolate yourself. Get in the Word. Seek out fellow believers. Seek out at least one sound voice.  When you isolate yourself because of circumstances you are fodder for the enemy.  Our strength is from our savior and not from our self or the world.  I heard Dr. Charles Stanley speak on just this thing. The best way to overtake an enemy is isolate them and attack with superior force.  We children of God are satan's enemy and if sees us vulnerable, he will use it to his advantage.  Reach out to fellow believers even if you don't want to because it will be good for your soul and that support will help and encourage you through what ever you are facing.  Your training in the Word has brought you thus far so don't forget it. Be wise. Know who will be wise with you and not just someone to agree with your grief. Be encouraged this day because let me remind you, you are loved, you are redeemed and this thing that seems to be overtaking you has already been whooped by our savior Jesus the Christ.  Who can really harm us but ourselves when we wallow and forget that truth.  You are loved and we brothers and sisters in the Lord love you too!


Mat_9:2
And behold, they brought to Him a paralytic, lying on a bed. And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, Child, be of good cheer. Your sins are forgiven you.

Mat_14:27  

But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, Be of good cheer, I AM! Do not fear.

 Joh_16:33 

 I have spoken these things to you so that you might have peace in Me. In the world you shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer. I have overcome the world. 

Act_27:22  

And now I exhort you to be of good cheer, for there will be no casting away of life among you, only of the ship. 

Isa 51:12-15

  I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou art afraid of man that shall die, and of the son of man that shall be made as grass;   and hast forgotten Jehovah thy Maker, that stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and fearest continually all the day because of the fury of the oppressor, when he maketh ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor?   The captive exile shall speedily be loosed; and he shall not die and go down into the pit, neither shall his bread fail.  For I am Jehovah thy God, who stirreth up the sea, so that the waves thereof roar: Jehovah of hosts is his name.

Heavenly Father,

    Thank you for your steadfast love for us. Forgive us when we let things in this world twist us all up in a knot. We ask for clarity in vision, wisdom in actions and love even for the unlovely.  Help us forgive those who are persecuting us. Be with those mentioned and those not in Jesus name, amen
