Why are you in despair, O my soul? And why have you become disturbed within me? Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him for the help of His presence.

My Daily Prayers and Readings for 11/27/2012

Why are you in despair, O my soul? And why have you become disturbed within me?
Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him for the help of His presence.

< >< My Prayer >< >

Abba Father how easy it is under the sun to forget You are with us and we are not alone, especially when discouraged. Today’s verse and devotion gives us a simply question and steps to follow for overcoming discouragement1 by getting right with You – a spiritual first-aid. Ask why? Look within, look up, look back and look ahead; remembering You are with us and with You what is there to be discouraged about. However the stronger we are spiritually the speedier the recovery. So I must practice Your presence and start each day from a pint of reference that is true and pure with You by coming to You in the name of Jesus Christ who lives within me through the Holy Spirit so that You can create in me a pure heart, and renew a steadfast spirit within me, for my one walk in and with You. Opening my mind and heart to You, so You can show and teach me how to be a channel of Your peace and love in all situations with all people, for when I allow myself to be discourage, I cannot be of help to others. Staying in Your Word so I can stand having girded my waist with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod my feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which I will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one who wants to keep me discouraged. Always praying that You continue to bless me and mine in fulfillment of Your will, and keep us from evil and pain; free of discouragement, reminding us that if we get nothing else done this day, let us spend it loving You and others first, as You love us. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness.

November 26, 2012

My Daily Prayers and Readings for 11/26/2012

You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness.

< >< My Prayer >< >

Abba Father ‘one cannot walk in the darkness and be in the light; one must be in the light to walk in the light.1 Being in the light takes commitment and practice with a strong dose of perseverance. For I have come to believe that our fallen human nature desires the call of the darkness, but is only full and complete in the light. For me Jesus is the like, and in and with Him there can be no darkness, for He overcame darkness. So I seek His likeness by coming to You in His name, the name of Jesus Christ who lives within me through the Holy Spirit so that You can create in me a pure heart, and renew a steadfast spirit within me, for my one walk in and with You today. So that You will show and teach me how to be a channel of Your peace and love in all situations with all people. So that You will help me stand having girded my waist with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod my feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which I will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one who calls out from the darkness. Always praying that You continue to bless me and mine in fulfillment of Your will, and keep us from evil and pain; while reminding us that if we get nothing else done this day, let us spend it loving You and others first, as You love us. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man.

November 25, 2012

My Daily Prayers and Readings for 11/25/2012

So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak. When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man.

< >< My Prayer >< >

Abba Father ‘thank You for being willing to carry me through the challenges of life. Teach me to rely more on Your power rather than on my own strategies and coping abilities. Show me how You want to use the difficulties I face to draw me into a more intimate relationship with You.’1 Use this time to create to a pure heart in me, and renew a steadfast spirit within me, with the past behind me except for lessons learned, ready for my one walk in and with You today. I come to You in the name of Jesus Christ who lives within me through the Holy Spirit so that You will show and teach me how to be a channel of Your peace and love in all situations with all people by staying in the moment and out of yesterday or tomorrow. For You to help me stand having girded my waist with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod my feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which I will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. Always praying that You continue to bless me and mine in fulfillment of Your will, keep us safe and away from evil and pain; while reminding us that if we get nothing else done this day, let us spend it loving You and others first, as You love us. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

One thing I have asked from the Lord, that I shall seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the Lord And to meditate in His temple.

November 24, 2012

My Daily Prayers and Readings for 11/24/2012

One thing I have asked from the Lord, that I shall seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the Lord And to meditate in His temple.

< >< My Prayer >< >

Abba Father ‘when I cry with my voice, be gracious to me and answer me. When You said, “Seek My face,” my heart said to You, “Your face, O Lord, I shall seek.”’1 I come to You each morning in the name of Jesus Christ who lives within me through the Holy Spirit ‘seeking Your face’2, looking for You to create a pure heart, and renew a steadfast spirit within me, for my one walk in and with You. Hoping that You will show and teach me how to be a channel of Your peace and love in all situations with all people. Asking You will help me stand having girded my waist with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod my feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which I will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.

“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.” John Fitzgerald Kennedy

November 22, 2012

My Daily Prayers and Readings for 11/22/2012

“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.” ~ John Fitzgerald Kennedy ~

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.

< >< My Prayer >< >

Abba Father just as faith ought to produce works; thankfulness ought to produce expressions of gratitude through action from within. The starting point is a pure heart and steadfast spirit rooted in the Words of Jesus Christ. So I come to You in the name of Jesus Christ who lives within me through the Holy Spirit so that You would create a pure heart in all of us as we think of You today, and You would create a steadfast spirit within each of us, for one walk in and with You. Free of judgement, pride, anger, hurt and selfishness because others seem to fall short of our expectations, but depended on the need to show Your presence in each of us by being a channel of Your peace and love in all situations with all people. Always standing having girded our waist with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod our feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; and above all, taking the shield of faith with which I will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one who lurks waiting to use whoever and whatever he can to separate us from You. Always praying without ceasing that You continue to bless us and ours in fulfillment of Your will, keeping us from evil and pain; while reminding us that if we get nothing else done this day, let us spend it loving You and others first, as You love us. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

November 21, 2012

My Daily Prayers and Readings for 11/21/2012

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

< >< My Prayer >< >

Abba Father gratitude has many benefits1 and I know I am most grateful when I am able to take this time each morning to come to You in the name of Jesus Christ who lives within me through the Holy Spirit so that You can create in me a pure heart, and renew a steadfast spirit within me, for my one walk in and with You. Nothing confirms You power and awesomeness than the feeling I get as You work in me to free me from myself; my selfishness, pride, anger, doubt and fears. To know when I step out each day I do so anxiously await to see how and where You will use me. Looking to see what You will show and teach me about how and what I need to do to be a channel of Your peace and love in all situations with all people. Knowing that if I stand having girded my waist with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod my feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which I will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one who lurks waiting for me to take my eyes off of You or stumble over my doubt and fear. Knowing that with my Mom even though we are physically apart we are united in spirit and as Jesus said, “if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”2 So together with her each day I pray and ask that You continue to bless our family in fulfillment of Your will, keeping us from evil and pain; and reminding us that if we get nothing else done this day, let us spend it loving You and others first, as You love us. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
