Dear Father in Heaven,
I pray for the unborn babies in this world that do not have a right to their lives and are not given the chance to be born, but are merely done away with out of selfishness. I pray that you would comfort these little ones as they experience the torturing pains and fears as they are being destroyed. Let them feel at peace as they are dying. Please forgive us for letting this happen daily in America and give us the strength and courage to do Your will and fight for those who cannot.
In the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior,
AMEN
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 1John 3:16
God is so awesome, these verses are definately not a coincidence. We are so loved! I guess we had better stop being so selfish and love one another as we are loved and put others before our own selves. Look at Jesus, young and strong and in the prime of His life but He gave it up for us. His love for us is sooo great! Let's think about some of our own selfish wants and ambitions and what we can give up in order to help someone else out.
I AM the beginning of all things, the end of all things and in the midst of all things. I was present at your birth; I will be there at the end of your years and through all the days in between. I AM ever present. I AM not only the God of your past and your future, but I AM also the God of your present moments. All that I have been and will be, I AM to you now. You do not have to look at the coming year and wonder how you will get through it physically, emotionally, mentally, financially, or spiritually. I AM your life, health, strength, and supply. I AM your source, your confidence, your victory!
"I AM the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me..." Isaiah 45:5
God is in control and all things happen one way or another in order to bring glory to Him and further His kingdom. Are you searching for something and unsure of the direction of your life? Put your trust in Jesus Christ and hang on, you'll find THE WAY and be filled with peace.
Thank you Lord for saving my soul. Thank you Lord for making me whole. Thank you Lord for giving to me, Thy great salvation so rich & free! How great is the love the Father has lavished upon us...That we should be called the children of GOD! 1John 1:3 I am sooo thankful for His love, patience, mercy, & grace, & for the blessings that are overflowing. I hope you all would experience the celebration of Thanksgiving with truely thankful hearts, hearts that are full of thanks to a God who loves us so much that He sent His only Son Jesus Christ to pay the price for our sins & die in our place. I hope you are following Jesus today & have the assurance of eternal life, & that your life is beaming with gratitude for the only one who can save your soul!
Blessed be the LORD, Who has not given us as prey to their teeth. Our soul has escaped as a bird from the snare of the fowlers; The snare is broken, and we have escaped. Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth. Psalm 124:6-8
Wow! 'am I thankful that the great God of the universe is on little old me's side. He didn't just make me for the fun of it but actually wants me as part of His very own family! I can't imagine going through this life without being part of God's family. But did you know that if you don't love & obey God, & your trust is not in Jesus Christ as your Savior then the Holy Bible says you are an enemy of God? Ouch! God loves you very much and it is not Him making Himself an enemy of you but it is you & only you who would be making yourself an enemy of Him-by making choices that are contrary to God. If you are not helping others get to Heaven but are setting the opposite example then can't you just see how that would make yourself an enemy? Don't make yourself an enemy of God. Choose to repent and follow Jesus Christ all of your days!
For the shepherds have become dull-hearted, And have not sought the LORD; Therefore they shall not prosper, And all their flocks shall be scattered. Jeremiah 10:21
I'm sure if you think about it you have seen examples of this. Ministers who have lost the fire and are just going through the motions with the congregation following behind & straying off to go their own ways in the world, not grounded in the Truth of God. It is very important to go to a good preach from the whole Bible church that is on fire for the LORD and speaks God's Truth. I'm very thankful for my pastor & the other teachers in our church & that I was raised in a good, Christ centered church. Let's also not forget to pray for our pastors, as well as ministers of God throughout this country, they are leaders as well, and play extremely important roles in this country.
I thought I'd share one of my favorite hymns with you that I looked up on youtube. Piano & lots of bass guitar, sounds great! Send the Light Hymn
The lyrics are listed below:
There’s a call comes ringing o’er the restless wave,
“Send the light! Send the light!”
There are souls to rescue, there are souls to save,
Send the light! Send the light!
Refrain:
Send the light, the blessed Gospel light;
Let it shine from shore to shore!
Send the light, the blessed Gospel light;
Let it shine forevermore!
We have heard the Macedonian call today,
“Send the light! Send the light!”
And a golden off’ring at the cross we lay,
Send the light! Send the light!
Let us pray that grace may everywhere abound,
“Send the light! Send the light!”
And a Christlike spirit everywhere be found,
Send the light! Send the light!
Let us not grow weary in the work of love,
“Send the light! Send the light!”
Let us gather jewels for a crown above,
Send the light! Send the light!
Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit. Proverbs 18:21 This makes me think of a Casting Crowns song that talks about "flattery leads to compramise". This verse can pertain to the things that you let come out of your own mouth or even the things that come out of others' mouths. Such as foul language by friends, music, or even movies(it Will rub off on you), or even flattery for example. Oh be careful little ears what you hear...Oh be careful little lips what you say...For the Father up above is looking down...
This really is a Life & Death situation. Follow this link to read more verses about "the tongue". There are many!
You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. Isaiah 26:3
Did you know that today is the International Day of Peace?
What does that make you think about?
This is True Peace-to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. I know when I start getting distracted & preoccupied things just don't "feel right" and I know the difference in how it feels to be "complete" with God at the fore front of my life. We need to serve God, not our selves, and in doing so we find peace.
