RENEWED DAILY

Mark 2:21 "No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. Otherwise, the new piece will pull away from the old, worsening the tear. 22 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins."

Lord, baptize us with the Holy Spirit that gives us a new heart ❤️ So the Word will fill us with wisdom. Let us not be cracked vessels, so the knowledge of You will keep us focused and on the right path. Jehovah Tsidkenu continues ordering our steps around the obstacles ahead of us and helps us walk in righteousness. Lord, we pray for eyes that see to help us recognize Your presence as we are renewed daily. Father, let not the confusion around us or the distraction of our day-to-day struggles overcome us. Instead, let us use our adversity to stand on Your Word and practice what we have learned. So we can become more Christ-like in character and actively pursue righteousness and obedience. Father, help us not worship the world that only offers us temporary unsatisfactory things. Instead, we chose to seek You and live a peaceful, prosperous, and eternal life for our Spirits. In Jesus' name Amen 

TRANSFORMATION

Jeremiah 32:38-40 And they shall be my people, and I will be their God. I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear me forever, for their own good and the good of their children after them. I will make with them an everlasting covenant that I will not turn away from doing good to them. And I will put the fear of me in their hearts, that they may not turn from me.

Lord, give those like Elijah peace, direction, and joy when suicidal thoughts pop into their heads. Lord, bless those that wish they were never born like Job with hope for a better tomorrow. Father, when we are depressed like David or anxious like Moses, help balance our body chemistry that controls our moods and quiet the confusion around us. Father released those falsely incarcerated like Paul and bring forth their accusers. Lord chastise those with the cheating Spirit like Jacob and lead them back to righteousness. Lord, cleanse us from every addiction; let us not get drunk like Noah, but keep us sober-minded. Father, let those who are murderers like Paul be brought to swift justice. In Jesus' name Amen 

BELIEVE IN HIM AND HE WILL GIVE US PEACE

We all face challenges and hard times, whether experiencing financial struggles, personal difficulties, health problems, loneliness, or anxiety. With all the world's confusion and uncertainties, it can be challenging to find peace of mind. When we struggle to find peace in the world, we must study the Word to find peace in ourselves.

The Word will cleanse us from the inside out; it removes hate, drunkenness, addiction, confusion, loneliness, misunderstanding, anxiety, depression, and unforgiveness and replaces them with His love and peace.

Lord, thank You for an authentic personal relationship with You. Thank You for the infused confidence and courage we develop as we study Your Word. Thank You, Prince, of Peace, for coming to dwell in our hearts and work through our Brokenness and failures. Jehovah Shalom, "The Lord of Peace," let us experience peace by confronting sin and believing Christ is our Savior. Thank You for taking us out of a spiritual death and restoring us to our heavenly Father, who gives us wisdom, understanding, and peace. In Jesus' name Amen

A RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST IS THE PERFECT RELATIONSHIP

Matthew 7:12 "So whatever you wish that others would do to you, also do to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.

The most important relationship we will have in our lives should be with Christ. That way, when all else fails, we can keep moving forward because He has His hands on us. People will never give us what we want or need, but Christ will, without a doubt. So, if you're in a bad relationship or are unsure what kind of relationship you're in, give it to God, pray, and be still. He will show us the way to go.

Lord, let us not take vengeance or bear a grudge against anyone. Father, remove us from everything and everyone that is not for us to make room for You to move into our lives. Father, give eyes to all who need to see what's happening with their significant other, so they can make the right decision about their lives. Lord, put someone in our lives that will be honest, kind, trustworthy, and loving. Father, teach us how to love You with all our hearts and Souls so whatever relationship we have will start with You. Because a heart that's filled with the love of Christ will be faithful to God and honest with us. Lord, thank You for satisfying our every desire and need to help us encourage each other and ourselves to trust in You for every aspect of our lives and relationships. Help us to spur each other on in our faith and walk with You. Continue to keep us focused as we walk through this Valley of Death. In Jesus' name Amen 

KEEP THE FAITH NO MATTER WHAT

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.

Our Father can control everything on this earth but choose not to. He made the blueprint and built the foundation for land and sea. And He's looking for the pure-hearted and those that have faith in Christ. He's always at the side of those that seek Him, so wake up, sleepyheads; the King of Glory is near. Who is the King of Glory, Christ, that keeps us armed and battle ready?

Lord, show us how You work; school us in Your ways. Father, we want to live in absolute unbroken fellowship with Christ, so we will not act in our will but in Your will. Lord, give us eyes that see things from Your perspective and ears that hear Your instructions. Teach us how to live in total dependence on You, without a doubt. Lord, strengthen our faith and help us with our unbelief assuring us tremendous security that is ours because we trust in You.  Thank You for protection in the faithfulness of Your Son Christ and for delivering us from hidden dangers and our enemies. Thank You for immunity from sickness and disease and for teaching us better health. Thank You for shelter and refuge, and bless those without. Thank You for freedom from fear and the evil plots of the wicked. Thank You for walking us around the destruction ahead and keeping us on the right path. Thank You for the Guarding Angles that walk with us to ensure safe passage. Thank You for choosing our hearts to dwell in and setting Your love and favor upon us. Thank You for the peace that keeps our hearts from being troubled about things we can't control. Father, we do not understand why so many bad things are happening in this world, but we trust You have a purpose, so we stand on Your promise; in Jesus' name, Amen.
