Troubles

Psalm 120:1 - I took my troubles to the Lord; I cried out to Him, and He answered my prayer.

This is what we have to do, if we want to begin to receive God's love.  Accept His gift of salvation, and ask for His forgiveness.  He loves us and wants us, but we have to seek Him.

I find myself praying more and more as my heart draws nearer to God every day.  But I often wonder if it's enough.  I will pray more.  I know He's listening.

Dear Lord, I know that I am unworthy of Your gift, but I know You love me.  Please help me overcome my sin and be the man You want me to be.  Amen!



God Bless!!!

Righteous

Psalm 119:7 - When I learn Your righteous laws, I will thank You by living as I should.

People always struggle with this.  We know the rules but we don't obey them.  Man-made or God-given.  This is where we fall short, and we have to work harder to correct it.

I know I struggle with this.  I will work harder to be right in God's heart.  I know that's where He wants me, and that's right where I want to be.

Dear Lord, help me to live right by You.  I know Your plans for me are good, and I want to make sure I've earned them.  Amen!



God Bless!!!

No Fear

Psalm 118:6 - The Lord is for me, so I will not be afraid.  What can mere mortals do to me?

Everything in this life is temporary.  God and His Glorious Kingdom is eternal.  Wicked people can only affect your mortal flesh.  But this means nothing in heaven.  If we have faith, God will protect us.

Is my faith strong enough to have no fear of what any mortal man can do to me?  I believe it is.  As long as I stay strong in that faith, God will continue to watch over and protect me.

Dear Lord, all of my hope and faith is in You.  I will fear no man while I have You in my life.  Please continue to protect me.  Amen!

God Bless!!!

Prayers

Psalm 116:1-2 - I love the Lord because He hears and answers my prayers.  Because He bends down and listens, I will pray as long as I have breath.

Even though it may sometimes feel as though God isn't listening, He is.  He answers according to His plan which is perfect, not ours which is tainted by sin.

I always believed that if you're not getting the right answers, it's because you're asking the wrong questions.  We need to seek His will in our prayers, and He will kindly respond.

Dear Lord, all my trust and faith is in You.  Even though I may sometimes feel You're not listening, I know You are.  Your will be done.  Amen!

God Bless!!!

Glory

Psalm 115:1 - Not to us, O Lord, but to You goes all the glory for Your unfailing love and faithfulness.

It all belongs to God.  He has dealt with so much from humanity, but He still loves us, and has faith that we will come to know and love Him.  He has earned all the glory.

I gladly offer all praise and glory to God for what He has done.  Not just in my life, but for the entire world.  My God truly is an awesome God.

Dear Lord, thank You so much for blessing not just me, but the whole world.  I sincerely hope everyone will come to know and love You as I have.  Amen!

God Bless!!!!

Happy

Psalm 112:1 - Praise the Lord!  Happy are those who fear the Lord.  Yes, happy are those who delight in doing what He commands.

Doing what God commands should put happiness in our heart.  When we do that, He blesses us with His unfailing love.  How could it possibly get better than that?!

Am I doing everything the Lord commands?  The correct question is 'am I consulting God before I speak or make decisions?'  I know I can be better about it, and by God's will, I will be.

Dear Lord, I ask for Your help.  I want to do all that You command, but I do it by first consulting You.  Help me to remember.  All praise to God.  Amen!

God Bless!!!
