daily prayer

    Good morning! How are we faithing? How do you deal with adversity daily? Do you whine? Do you start a big pity party? Do you let the spirit of depression climb on your back and hang out all day?  Start an exercise today. When you get that first inkling of "woe is me" or "why is this happening to me", pause and pray. Ask our Father in heaven to grant wisdom and strength. Pray you are a solid example of Gods love for us and a reflection of Jesus' light.  Instead of complaining about whatever is happening, look for a lesson. Look for an escape that glorifies God and not just a hiding place. Who benefits from the funk we fall into because we let our feelings get hurt? Was the event really about you to begin with? What may be hurting that person who hurt you?  Hurt people hurt other people. Sometimes that lashing we are a part of doesn't really have anything to do with us and when that happens we ought to reach out in Godly love because they may fall deeper in their hole because they hurt others because of their hurt and know they did. Do you follow? There is nothing happening to you or I that hasn't happened before, it just may be a new pile of dung we came upon. Pray quick for your enemies. Pray quick for yourself. Reach out with compassion to those who may be afflicted because when we focus on others we do what Jesus did, our woes get really small and man, perspective is found.


Jas 5:14-16
  Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:  And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.  Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.


Luk 21:36
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Rom 12:16-21
  Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.  Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.  If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.  Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.  Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
