GOD'S MIGHTY HAND
Psalm 37:23 "If the Lord delights in a man's way, he makes his steps firm; though he stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand.
Psalm 139:5,6 "You hem me in - behind and before; you have laid your hand on me, Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.
Psalm 139:7-10 "Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths you are there; If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there you hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast."
Heavenly Father, like a child, we need a hand to hold on too. You have promised us you will uphold us with your mighty right hand. There is such security in knowing you will not let us slip or fall. You make our steps firm and and path straight. What a loving a gracious Father we have. Thank you for never letting go. Thank you for the security of a Father that holds us in the palm of His hand. I love You. Amen!

Praying for Others
Romans 8:26 & 27(ESV) 26 ".....the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words." 27 "....the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.
Romans 8:34 (ESV) "....Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us."
1 Timothy 2:1 (ESV) "First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people,"
Father it is an awesome privilege to participate with Jesus and the Holy Spirit in intercessory prayer for others. The power that is revealed through prayer is not ours but Yours and yet we are wonderfully and amazingly linked with You as we pray in Your will through Jesus name.
Father help us to be faithful in the holy honor of, intercessory prayer, to come boldly to the throne of grace, not just for ourselves, but especially others.
In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
James 5:16 (ESV)

help me to trust that you are working
Dear Lord,
The future seems dark and unknown.
Help me to trust that you are working.
The pains and sufferings are overwhelming.
Help me to trust that you are working.

In faith, I choose to trust that you are working.

His Presence
LORD, our prayer today is for anyone who is feeling lonely of heart. Anyone who is experiencing an emptiness that leaves them with the feeling of loneliness that settles deep into their spirit.
God we pray that You will minister to all who are in need. Point them toward You. Draw them to Your Word. Fill them with the sweetness of Your Spirit. And cast out that loneliness that threatens to hold them captive.
May Your Presence be felt mightily in the lives of all who seek Your face.
“My eyes are continually toward the LORD. For He will bring my feet out of the net.” (Psalm 25:15)

a new reputation
Lord,
It's my prayer that I am thought well of by others. I desire a good reputation, but confess that I after often more concerned with how others perceive me. I confess that I often work to create a picture of myself for them that they approve of... rather then offer the truth of who I am.
So I'm asking myself this day, Is this what would best honor You?
When I find myself exclude others...
When I find myself gossiping...
When I twist the truth...
When I hide to make sure my wrong doing isn't exposed...
this is the dark side of me wanting a good reputation.
I seek to protect my reputation, and build to further by
hiding
blaming
acusing
deceiving
...and making half-hearted admissions of wrongdoing
My heart wants something that is not bad to want: a good reputation. But my heart is broken because it wants to get that reputation in the wrong way.
Break my heart in the right way, O Lord.
Give me the strength to see how I am trusting in something else other than You - and how this will fail every time.
Give me the eyes to see that You have given me the only reputation I need because Jesus put his righteousness on me.
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus, because the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death. (Romans 8:1-2)
Give me the heart to believe in this new identity in Christ, that I no longer have to say or do things to earn a reputation before others or even before You.

A STRONG TOWER
Proverbs 18:10 "The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe."
Dear Lord, Your Name contains the fullness of everything I need. Your name is Creator, Provider, Savior, Healer, Father, Sustainer, Deliverer, Redeemer, Friend. In your Name I find rest when I am weary, strength when I am weak, safety when I am pursued, hope when I am discouraged and joy when I am sorrowful. I will praise You as long as I live, and in Your name I will lift my hands in praise. I love You. Amen.

Feeling Mighty Fine - The Statler Brothers
I woke up this morning feeling fine I woke up with heaven on my mind
I woke up with joy in my soul cause I knew my Lord had control
I knew I was walkin' in the light cause I'd been on my knees in the night
And I'd pray till the Lord gave a sign and now I'm feeling mighty fine
Well I'm feeling mighty fine I've got heaven on my mind
Don't you know I want to go where the milk and honey flow
There's a light that always shines down inside this heart of mine
I've got heaven on my mind and I'm feeling mighty fine
We're walking with Jesus all the time we're walking and talking as we climb
We're traveling a road to the sky where I know I'll live when I die
He's been telling me all about that land and he tells me that everything is grand
And he says that a home will be mine and now I'm feeling mighty fine
Oh I'm feeling mighty fine...
1 Corinthians 2:8-9 (GW)
“.....No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined the things that God has prepared for those who love him."
Thank you Lord for the exciting expectation of being home with you in heaven. Amen

for help in times of trouble
I am like the man on the way to Jericho who was overtaken by robbers, wounded and left for dead.
O Good Samaritan, come to my aid.
I am like the sheep that went astray.
O Good Shepherd, seek me out and bring me home in accord with Your will.
Let me dwell in Your house all the days of my life and praise You forever and ever with those who are there.
Amen

when we are feeling lonely
This past year has brought on loneliness for so many. I lived alone for months when my wife was quarantined in a nursing center and experienced loneliness. Please join me in praying this prayer from the folks at the Knowing Jesus website if you are feeling alone.
Please visit The Prayer List and pray with us.
Loving Lord, I feel so lonely at times, so very alone, though I am often surrounded by crowds of people, but I also realise that the more I concentrate on my loneliness, the more alone I feel. I feel sorry for myself and become depressed and down, and I know that this is not the way that You created us to be.
Lord, I ask You to show me how to conquer this loneliness. Help me not only to cope with loneliness but to conquer it. I know that You have said that You are with us all the time, and that You have promised never to leave us nor forsake us, and I believe Your Word is true.
Help me to rise above all the negative feelings that loneliness brings, and all the negative elements that come with it. I pray that I may be enabled to embrace my loneliness in such a way that my life honours You, and becomes an encouragement to others who may be facing similar lonely feelings.
In Jesus' name I pray. Amen

living in light of the cross
Lord,
May we keep these truth close to our hearts this day:
You are faithful
You died for us
You will never leave us
We are Yours
We are Your delight and joy
You have forgiven our sins
You are making the world right
May our love of power, our fear of people, our reputation seeking be put to death as we remember who you are. Help us relinquish control and live with the light and power of the Spirit, who gives us the vision to see ourselves through the light of the cross, and not through the light of our sins and failures.
May we focus on who you are and not on what we have done. May we remember all You have done and all You have empowered us to do.
