WE DON'T HAVE TO BE LONELY

Psalms 25:16 Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted.

Loneliness can open us up to a deeper relationship with God. Just as solitude helps us hear Him speak to us. Being lonely is not always the absence of other people but an inner void. That can only be filled by the Spirit.

Father, we're no longer lonely because we've learned to live in the Spirit more than the Flesh. So, thank You for coming into our lives and showing us how to love ourselves and others. Thank You for contentment in where we are waiting patiently while You guide us through this Valley of death daily. Give us Your wisdom and knowledge when we witness for You, and give them eyes that see You in us and ears that hear Your instructions. Lord, let us not care about the things of this world because we brought nothing into this world, and we will not take anything out. So, fill us with the Holy Spirit that empowers us to pursue righteousness and obedience to You and gives us the strength to endure suffering and overcome our unbeliefs. Thank You, Lord, for being close to us when we are lonely, brokenhearted, and crushed in Spirit. In Jesus' name Amen

STRENGTHEN OUR FAITH

Without faith, it is impossible to please Him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who believe.

When we see Christ's power in the lives of others, it strengthens our faith. I told someone they should not purchase a car because God keeps telling me He will provide. They looked at me and said you said many things that manifested in my life but a car Rose. My response was that's the message I got. About a month later, this person received the job with the car. When they called and told me I was driving, I had to pull over and give God some praise because, right at that point, my faith was strengthened.

Let the Spirit fill us with joy and peace as Your Word strengthens our faith and helps us overcome our unbeliefs. Thank You for allowing us to see Your blessings of others 🙏 and giving us hope. Thank You for revealing Who You Are in us and giving us a purpose in this Valley of death. Help us witness Your goodness daily, so baptize us with the Holy Spirit that empowers us to pursue righteousness and obedience. Thank You for giving us eyes that see from Your perspective and ears that hear Your instructions. Thank You for calming the confusion and keeping us safe and focused on You. Lord, You are our Savior, and our strength comes from You, and we are so grateful. In Jesus' name Amen

WE MUST FELLOWSHIP

Hebrews 10;24-25. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing but encouraging one another and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

God wants us to Fellowship because He understands large Gatherings' impact on us. When we come into Spiritual groups, we tend to share love and assets with people we don't know lovingly. When we are connected in the Spirit, God is in the midst, so we experience His transforming powers and the grace He shows us we show to others. So, come together in prayer, Worship, praise, and fellowship to give God room to move in our hearts 💕

Father God, thank You for allowing us to experience a connection with You and others when we fellowship. Let us unite joyfully so we walk together in Your light to live out Your truth to "fellowship with others so the blood can purify us of our sins." Lord, You said, "Connect with fellow believers to avoid spiritual isolation. Through such bonds, we can inspire others to love and perform good deeds." Lord, when we come together, cleanse our hearts and minds and let us focus on the thing of the Spirit and leave judgment, jealousy, envy, hate, back-biting, and strife outside. Let us come together in solemn remembrance, Worship, rejoicing, and peace before our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ 🙏 Amen.

THE ONLY PERSON THAT WILL BE WITH US FOREVER IS GOD

"The Lord Almighty will reign gloriously. And we will be partakers in the splendors of the latter days, whatever they may be, and so we will be with the Lord forever."

Family will forget you, friends we'll forget you, and even your enemies will forget you, but God is always with us through life and death. When we are called home, it hurts all our family members and friends for a while, but as the days turn into weeks and weeks become months, the memory of us will fade. Everything in this world will be forgotten people, places, and things. The only thing that people do remember is God. Even in a demented and Alzheimer's state, people still remember God. So while I'm sitting here meditating on life and situations that I've been through with death, I know God is the only thing that will matter at the beginning and the end.

Father, thank You for Your love and grace that neither death, nor life, nor thing present, nor things to come can separate us from You. Lord, teach us to observe all that You command of us and keep our life free from the love of money. Even though we walk through this Vally of death daily, we will not fear because You hold our hands.  Father, help us keep Your dwelling place clean to give You room to move in and through us. Lord, let us not get caught up in the glam and excitement of this dark place but stay focused on You and Your glory.  Lord, teach us how to walk, glorify You, and help others as we diligently seek You. In Jesus' name, Amen.

GOD HAS YOUR DESTINY PLANNED OUT

Ephesians 2:10 We have become his poetry, a re-created people that will fulfill the destiny he has given each of us, for we are joined to Jesus, the Anointed One. Even before birth, God planned our destiny and the good works we would do to fulfill it!

God changed Ruth's destiny from poverty to wealth. Joseph's atmosphere shifted his destiny from slave to prime minister of Egypt. David's value increased when his destiny turned from a shepherd boy to a king. God can and will shift the atmosphere around us, improve our value, and change our destiny.

Father, thank You for pulling us out of the pit of darkness and leading us to Your never-failing light. Lord, thank You for being Who You are in us and through us. Thank You for shifting our atmosphere and changing our destiny. Thank You for teaching us how to breathe and control our emotions that overwhelmed us with worry and fear. Thank You for strengthening our faith and keeping us still to give You room to move mighty. Thank You for supporting us through the night, and thank You in advance for the hedge of protection around us today, especially our children and our children's children. Lord, shift our atmosphere. Let Your thoughts be our thoughts So we do not waver. Thank You for eyes that see things from Your perspective and ears that hear Your instructions around the obstacles ahead. Thank You for helping us bear our cross daily ❤️ in Jesus' name, Amen 🙏

WAIT PATIENTLY

We were very patient as children because we didn't care about tomorrow. Our focus was on the fun we were having now. But somewhere along life's Journey, that changed. We must relearn to focus on what's important now, not on what may or may not happen tomorrow. God tells us, "Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble" We don't want to get ahead of God by focusing on a day that has not come yet. Be patient and learn to keep our attention on the Word, which keeps our focus on His Kingdom and faithfulness; then, all we need will be added to us.

Lord, give us the fruit of patience and help us seek Your kingdom and righteousness first, and all the other things will be added to our lives. Lord, help us transform our daily walk into prayer and worship to help us become a better version of ourselves and live righteous lives. Father, let Your thoughts be our thoughts, and let Your truth teach us patience and endurance to stand and practice what we have learned. So, will wait patiently on You, and what we hope for and do not see will manifest in our lives 🙏 in Jesus' name Amen
