Honorable Men and Women

New honors are constantly bestowed on me, and my strength is continually renewed.’ (Job 29:20 NLT)

Lord we often take for granted the honorable people in our lives. Their honor is renewed each day as they make the sacrifice to serve and have served our country. I pray for the same renewed strength that you give to our military families! 

Being thankful even during the toughest times

We thank you, O God! We give thanks because you are near. People everywhere tell of your wonderful deeds. (Psalms 75:1 NLT)

Lord there are days I don't feel like giving thanks, there are days when I don't understand why I should be thankful for the pain, the sorrow, the heartache, the lies, and everything bad in this world.....then for all the bad moments, I remember the most glorious moment in time that takes all the bad away; therefore I am truly thankful for your son Jesus!

Seek God and you will find him

“I love all who love me. Those who search will surely find me. (Proverbs 8:17 NLT)

Lord everyday is a new adventure, an opportunity to do your will, an opportunity to do what is right, an opportunity to find your mysteries in every step and with every breath we take. Lord I pray for those who search for you, those who are tired and need rest and those that hurt with sorrow. All we need is to seek you and we will find you 

Trust in all things

For the word of the LORD holds true, and we can trust everything he does. (Psalms 33:4 NLT)

Even in the simple things, God can be trusted!!! Lord thank you for the simple practice of trusting you because all it requires is having faith that your promises are what you say they are. Maybe there are many people who have trouble with this practice of trust, so I pray that you open their hearts so they could be willing to experience even a glimpse of your faithfulness!!

Stronger than you can imagine

The strong right arm of the LORD is raised in triumph. The strong right arm of the LORD has done glorious things! (Psalms 118:16 NLT)

There is no other strength that I know that can deliver me from both physical and emotional destruction! 

When doubt lingers

When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer. (Psalms 94:19 NLT)

God clear my mind of thoughts that don't represent your glory. Help me resist the urge to say I can't by knowing YOU already CAN!!! Don't allow my doubt in human self discourage what you can accomplish through me 

God's unfailing love

But I trust in your unfailing love. I will rejoice because you have rescued me. I will sing to the LORD because he is good to me. (Psalms 13:5-6 NLT)

Lord where I have failed, you have not! I am thankful for each day! Lord I am grateful that your love is so vast that it sustains me and my imperfections! Thank you for saving me when I didn't believe there was anything worth saving! I am reminded of your love each day through each sunrise and chirping bird. I want to stop and take a moment on how much I am truly loved!
