And may the Lord our God show us his approval and make our efforts successful.

September 7, 2019

One Walk with Jesus is knowing you’re in the world, but not of the world… renewing your mind with Jesus.

Today’s verse…

And may the Lord our God show us his approval and make our efforts successful. Yes, make our efforts successful!
Psalm 90:17 NLT

Jesus Calling Family Devotional…

For Adults – A RENEWED MIND I AM RENEWING YOUR MIND.

When your thoughts flow freely, they tend to move toward problems. Your focus gets snagged on a given problem, circling round and round it in attempts to gain mastery. Your energy is drained away from other matters through this negative focus. Worst of all, you lose sight of Me. A renewed mind is Presence-focused. Train your mind to seek Me in every moment, every situation. Sometimes you can find Me in your surroundings: a lilting birdsong, a loved one’s smile, golden sunlight. At other times, you must draw inward to find Me. I am always present in your spirit. Seek My Face, speak to Me, and I will light up your mind.

Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Romans 12: 2

For kids – A New Way of Thinking

I want to give you a new way of thinking. When you just let your thoughts wander, they tend to wander to your problems. Your mind swirls around and around, trying to solve them. You waste time and energy. Worst of all, your mind is so filled with your problems that you lose sight of Me. Train your mind to look for Me wherever you are. I want your thoughts to be so filled with Me that you lose sight of your problems. I am all around you. Do you see Me? That bird singing, that smile from a friend, that ray of sunshine peeking through the clouds? I send each one your way. That feeling of safety and peace? That’s from Me too. I’m always thinking about you. So think about Me.

My prayer…

Dear God, my Abba Father, Lord Jesus my Savior, thank You for this day. For all Your blessings. For each of mine. For blessing us with this time together. Use this time to show us Your presence and make us aware of all You do. In Jesus name I pray. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Blessing at a Gathering

Father in Heaven, We praise You for giving us Your Son To be our Saviour and Lord. Bless us all as we gather here today, (tonight) And let us live happily in Your love.
Hear our prayer, loving Father, For we ask this in Jesus’ Name.
Amen.

let the one who believes in me drink… ‘From within him will flow rivers of living water.'”

One Walk with Jesus is knowing you’re in the world, but not of the world… opening your heart and mind to receive His fullness.

A verse…

…let the one who believes in me drink. Just as the scripture says, ‘From within him will flow rivers of living water.'”
John 7:38 NET

Jesus Calling…

I am your best Friend, and I am your King. My friendship is practical and down-to-earth.
from Jesus Calling Kids
page 260, “No Other Friend Like Me”

You are my friend if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.
John 15:14-15

A prayer…

Dear God, my Abba Father, Lord Jesus my Savior, thank You for today, a new day with new hope. For all Your blessings. For each of mine and the blessing of their love. Oh Lord God help us to watch with You. The world is fighting against You more each day. And if we are to be true follows, that means they will hate us as they hate You. But we must must ‘stay alert, stand firm in the faith, show courage, be strong.’ We must let them know we are Christians ‘by our love’ as today’s song states. Help us, guide us giving us a discerning heart and mind. Hear our prayers. I continue to pray for the Bahamas and all those dealing with after affects of the storm, and supporting all relief efforts. I pray for those still in the path of the storm. Spare them as You spared us from the storm. This I pray. In Jesus name I pray. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

The Words written in red…

I believe everyone should read the Bible, or start with the New Testament from beginning to end, or at least start with the four Gospels starting with John, Luke, Matthew and Mark. Or the Words written in red, those spoken by Jesus. You can do this with The Words Jesus of Nazareth, compiled by Lee Cantelon. Read Jesus’ words thematically, in clear and modern English, for non-Christians, spiritual seekers, agnostics and believers.

“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”

September 3, 2019

One Walk with Jesus is knowing you’re in the world, but not of the world… walking in dependence on Jesus.

A verse…

Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.
Colossians 3:23 (NLT)

Jesus Calling…

Living in dependence on Me is a glorious adventure.
from page 257

But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
2 Corinthians 12:9-10

Isaiah 61:1-2 NET
[1] The spirit of the sovereign LORD is upon me, because the LORD has chosen me. He has commissioned me to encourage the poor, to help the brokenhearted, to decree the release of captives, and the freeing of prisoners, [2] to announce the year when the LORD will show his favor, the day when our God will seek vengeance, to console all who mourn,

Today’s readings from United Conference of Catholic Bishops…

1 Thessalonians 5:4-11 NET
[4] But you, brothers and sisters, are not in the darkness for the day to overtake you like a thief would. [5] For you all are sons of the light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of the darkness. [6] So then we must not sleep as the rest, but must stay alert and sober. [7] For those who sleep, sleep at night and those who get drunk are drunk at night. [8] But since we are of the day, we must stay sober by putting on the breastplate of faith and love and as a helmet our hope for salvation. [9] For God did not destine us for wrath but for gaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. [10] He died for us so that whether we are alert or asleep we will come to life together with him. [11] Therefore encourage one another and build up each other, just as you are in fact doing.

‘From within him will flow rivers of living water.’

September 2, 2019

One Walk with Jesus is knowing you’re in the world, but not of the world…

A verse…

On the last day of the feast, the greatest day, Jesus stood up and shouted out, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me, and let the one who believes in me drink. Just as the scripture says, ‘From within him will flow rivers of living water.’"
John 7:37-38 NET

Daily Catholic Wisdom…

Not infrequently freedom is understood in an anarchic and simply anti-institutional manner and thus becomes an idol. Authentic human freedom can only be the freedom of just reciprocal relations, the freedom of justice; otherwise it becomes a lie and leads to slavery.

Dear God, my Abba Father, Lord Jesus my Savior, thank You for this day. For hearing my prayers. Continue to hear me. For it is with a grateful heart I come to You. Thanking You for all Your blessings. For each of mine. Asking for Your continued protection from the storm. Let Your grace and mercy continue to rain down on us. And let it flow through us for those You put in our path. Feeding our faith and quenching our thirst for understanding so we will be able to be there for those in need. In Jesus name I pray. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Act of Petition

Give me yourself, O my God, give yourself to me. Behold I love you, and if my love is too weak a thing, grant me to love you more strongly. I cannot measure my love to know how much it falls short of being sufficient, but let my soul hasten to your embrace and never be turned away until it is hiddeen in the secret shelter of your presence. This only do I know, that it is not good for me when you are not with me, when you are only outside me. I want you in my very self. All the plenty in the world which is not my God is utter want.
Amen.

Dear Jesus…

My Power flows most freely into weak ones aware of their need for Me.

To him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy⁠—to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power, and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forever! Amen.
Jude 1:24-25

Daily Catholic Wisdom…

Because God is love, and we are made in his image and likeness, our relationships should reflect him in the world. This, perhaps, is the greatest form of evangelization: to make an invisible God visible to the world through our love.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Prayers I grew up with…

Our Father (Lord’s Prayer)

Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Amen.

Hail Mary

Hail Mary full of Grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed are thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus.
