Cling to your faith in Christ, and keep your conscience clear. For some people have deliberately violated their consciences; as a result, their faith has been shipwrecked.
Lord often our poor choices have led us away from your promises. Remind me that I can always turn around and return to your loving arms. Help me keel my conscience clear of things from the past but rather I look towards the future you have promised. Thank you for always listening to me. I praise you for your greatness and just for the simple thought that I am always loved, even when I don't feel it or think I deserve it!

This level of love proves I am worth every ounce of blood Christ shed for me....why else would you sacrifice your only son for me?

Lamentations 3:25-27 MSG
God proves to be good to the man who passionately waits, to the woman who diligently seeks. It’s a good thing to quietly hope, quietly hope for help from God . It’s a good thing when you’re young to stick it out through the hard times.

Ecclesiastes 10:2 MSG
Wise thinking leads to right living; Stupid thinking leads to wrong living.
Isn't this the truth. It's all about the thoughts in our mind that lead to good or poor choices. Lord help me with righteous thinking and not be swayed by my selfish tendencies
Romans 11:33-36 MSG
Have you ever come on anything quite like this extravagant generosity of God, this deep, deep wisdom? It’s way over our heads. We’ll never figure it out. Is there anyone around who can explain God? Anyone smart enough to tell him what to do? Anyone who has done him such a huge favor that God has to ask his advice? Everything comes from him; Everything happens through him; Everything ends up in him......
Lord I am thankful that I can trust in your promises when I feel so alone. I am grateful that all things begin and end with you.

Since everything here today might well be gone tomorrow, do you see how essential it is to live a holy life? Daily expect the Day of God, eager for its arrival. The galaxies will burn up and the elements melt down that day—but we’ll hardly notice. We’ll be looking the other way, ready for the promised new heavens and the promised new earth, all landscaped with righteousness.
We should expect God each day to do something spectacular to prove his very existence. You have to be willing to keep your eyes and ears open to not miss the opportunity that he shows up In your life in big and small ways each day
Psalm 103:3-5 MSG
He forgives your sins—every one. He heals your diseases—every one. He redeems you from hell—saves your life! He crowns you with love and mercy—a paradise crown. He wraps you in goodness—beauty eternal. He renews your youth—you’re always young in his presence.
Lord thank you for a fresh new day to start anew from yesterday's mistakes. I thank you for loving me enough to continue to change me for your eternal purposes.
Romans 8:5-8 MSG
Those who think they can do it on their own end up obsessed with measuring their own moral muscle but never get around to exercising it in real life. Those who trust God’s action in them find that God’s Spirit is in them—living and breathing God! Obsession with self in these matters is a dead end; attention to God leads us out into the open, into a spacious, free life. Focusing on the self is the opposite of focusing on God. Anyone completely absorbed in self ignores God, ends up thinking more about self than God. That person ignores who God is and what he is doing. And God isn’t pleased at being ignored.
When we are selfish we can't see God working in our lives. If we stop to see his beauty then we can see the life he has for us
Ephesians 1:3-6 MSG
How blessed is God! And what a blessing he is! He’s the Father of our Master, Jesus Christ, and takes us to the high places of blessing in him. Long before he laid down earth’s foundations, he had us in mind, had settled on us as the focus of his love, to be made whole and holy by his love. Long, long ago he decided to adopt us into his family through Jesus Christ. (What pleasure he took in planning this!) He wanted us to enter into the celebration of his lavish gift-giving by the hand of his beloved Son.
We have been given a special gift to cherish each day of our lives. We are so important to God that he knew of our existence before the beginning of time
Matthew 5:8 MSG
“You’re blessed when you get your inside world—your mind and heart—put right. Then you can see God in the outside world.
God works wonders through our thoughts. Allow your thoughts be filled with righteous thinking. Be mindful on how easily we can stray from the truth
1 Corinthians 15:51-57 MSG
But let me tell you something wonderful, a mystery I’ll probably never fully understand. We’re not all going to die— but we are all going to be changed. At the same moment and in the same way, we’ll all be changed. In the resurrection scheme of things, this has to happen: everything perishable taken off the shelves and replaced by the imperishable, this mortal replaced by the immortal. Then the saying will come true: Death swallowed by triumphant Life! It was sin that made death so frightening and law-code guilt that gave sin its leverage, its destructive power. But now in a single victorious stroke of Life, all three—sin, guilt, death—are gone, the gift of our Master, Jesus Christ.
Lord you overcame death so we can live free of guilt and sin. Let me not take for granted your precious sacrifice
Proverbs 12:1 MSG
If you love learning, you love the discipline that goes with it— how shortsighted to refuse correction!
Learn to love and allow the correction that comes from love guide your steps
Psalm 109:26-29 MSG
Help me, oh help me, God , my God, save me through your wonderful love; Then they’ll know that your hand is in this, that you, God , have been at work....
Your mysteries God are beyond my comprehension; yet I have faith that there is a plan in everything that you do in my life
Lamentations 3:25-27 MSG
God proves to be good to the man who passionately waits, to the woman who diligently seeks. It’s a good thing to quietly hope, quietly hope for help from God . It’s a good thing when you’re young to stick it out through the hard times.
Trust the Lord when it gets really rough. Seek his face and know he is always with you
