It's for your good

Heavenly Father, we give you thanks and praise for all that you do.  We thank you that when people try to control us with their words and their position that You just use their behavior to dig a foundation for our blessings. We thank You that there is nothing that can take our blessings away from us and that no one can hinder Your plans for our lives. Thank you for your love. In Jesus name. Amen

The question

Is there anything too hard for the Lord? Believe and stand in faith.

Help us to walk in peace

Heavenly Father please help us to stand strong even when the storms of life blow through our lives. Help us to walk  with confidence on the path that you have set up for us. Help us to know peace.  Help us Lord to recognize and to follow your voice as we go through the wilderness.  We are yours oh God. When we try to take over and we choose the wrong way, please "Jesus  take the wheel ".  Protect us from the enemy and from ourselves. May your love for us be like honey from a bee hive. May it nurture us like the rain nurtures the lush vegetation of the tropics. As we lift up our hands and our hearts receive our praises and our worship. We are yours. Teach us to be the people you created us to be. In Jesus name we pray. Amen 😊 🙏 🙌 ❤

Choices

Choices

Lord we worship you with all of our hearts.  Your presence is what we long for.  Help us so that we don’t get so busy in our day that we forget to whisper your name.  Let us know that you are with us at all times and that we are never alone.  Help us so that we have quiet times that allow you to enter our spirits and our minds like a gentle wind and then please stand strong within our souls like a rock.  Remind us that in those times when we have to make decisions, we can turn to you and wait for an answer.  We are sure to get the right one when we seek your wisdom.  Choices are difficult when we don’t know the outcome.  We are so concerned about making the right choices and not making mistakes, that we forget sometimes that You have the answers.  You have seen our lives from before the beginning to after the end.  You, oh God have given us minds to think, hearts to feel, and a spirit to reach out to you.  Help us so that our mind and our body, our emotions and our desires move out of the way and flood our minds with your wisdom so that the choices we make today will benefit us  and will result in receiving your righteousness and Your glory.  This we ask in Jesus name.  Amen.

Super family summer

Father, as we come closer to the summer and super family time, we want to lift up our families to you.  This summer may we take the time to really look at each other.  Help us to see the crinkle under our eyes when we smile, the way our faces change when we laugh, the way our eyes light up when family walks into the room.  Show us the difference in our body language so we can see the happiness, sadness or worry in the way we walk, sit, or stand so that we can respond with actions that reflect your love.  Help us to pay attention to the impact that words have on our loved ones.  Help us to know our friends and family members the same way that you do, so that we don't take each other for granted. May we grow closer, love more, forgive completely, speak kindly and spend more time than money on each other. This summer, for super family time, may we become super family members to everyone.  In Jesus name we pray. Amen 😊 👪

Builders of societies

Father, we want to lift up our men to you in the name of Jesus. Lord,  we ask that you would move on them and cause them to rise up and be leaders, mentors, healers of our community, and fathers to the fatherless.  Help them to say the right things and to be able to do the right things to bring the boys and the young men of our communities to a place where they will have morals and standards that are positive and uplifting.   Help our men teach them to become productive and not destructive, helpful and not neglectful, hard working and not slothful, tender hearted and not cold hearted.  Please help our men so that they can teach young men to build families, communities, and societies which will bring forth loving  caring, prosperous, strong, positive young people whose desire it is to follow You.  This will change our world and the direction of our future.  We know that it can be done with your help.  Children grow well when they are surrounded with love.  Great societies come from strong families.  Strong families are built on faith,  hope, and love.   We thank you for the change that is coming, in Jesus name we pray. Amen
