The Source of Eternity

Apr1

In the days of His flesh (during Christ’s earthly life), He offered up both prayers and supplications with loud crying and tears to the One able to save Him from death, and He was heard because of His piety.
Hebrews 5:7 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/heb.5.7.NASB1995

And He was saying, “Abba! Father! All things are possible for You; remove this cup from Me; yet not what I will, but what You will.”
Mark 14:36 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/mrk.14.36.NASB1995

Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from the things which He suffered.
Hebrews 5:8 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/heb.5.8.NASB1995

Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
Philippians 2:8 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/php.2.8.NASB1995

And having been made perfect, He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation,
Hebrews 5:9 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/heb.5.9.NASB1995

Have you met the Savior Jesus Christ?
His extreme love for humanity and love of the Father brought Him to earth. Jesus willingly gave His life as a sacrifice for you so you could have eternal salvation. Knowing God and walking with Jesus is assurance for life eternal. Trust Him today. Surrender your heart, your will, your way and Jesus will show you His will, His way, His truth as He leads you on the road to the promised land. Eternity with God. The choice is yours. The alternative is eternal Hell.

🙏 Lord, my heart breaks for the lost soul. I ask that You will open eyes, soften hearts, bring understanding and wisdom to the ones reading this who do not know You. I pray for the ones who do know you that their hearts would be broken for the lost and that you would give us opportunities to share especially as many celebrate Easter. Help us to bring the true meaning of Easter into the lives of our neighbors. For Your glory and in the name of Jesus, our Savior, I pray. Amen.

Prayer of Cleansing

Purge me with ¹hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones that You have broken rejoice. Hide Your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.

God,
May You purify me, that I may be clean.
May You wash me, that I may be whiter than snow.
May You make me hear joy and gladness.
²For Your eyes are on all my ways; they are not hidden from Your face, nor is my iniquity concealed from Your eyes. Forgive me of my sin and clothe me in Your righteousness, Jesus, for I have no righteousness of my own. Lead me in Your truth. In Your way. For Your glory!

Prayer of Confession

Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your lovingkindness; according to the abundance of Your compassion, blot out my transgressions.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me.
Against You, You only, have I sinned, and done what is evil in Your sight, so that You are justified when you speak, and blameless when You pass judgment.
Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceived me. Behold, You desire truth in the inward being, and in my secret heart You will teach me wisdom.
Psalms 51:1-6 MEV
https://bible.com/bible/1171/psa.51.1-6.MEV

🌹Thank You God for Your mercy and compassion upon me.
Because You have washed me, I am cleansed from my sin.

New Year’s Resolution #3

Dec31

Thus says the Lord, “Preserve justice and do righteousness, For My salvation is about to come And My righteousness to be revealed.
How blessed is the man who does this, And the son of man who takes hold of it; Who keeps from profaning the sabbath, And keeps his hand from doing any evil.” Let not the foreigner who has joined himself to the Lord say, “The Lord will surely separate me from His people.” Nor let the eunuch say, “Behold, I am a dry tree.” For thus says the Lord, “To the eunuchs who keep My sabbaths, And choose what pleases Me, And hold fast My covenant, To them I will give in My house and within My walls a memorial, And a name better than that of sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name which will not be cut off.
“Also the foreigners who join themselves to the Lord, To minister to Him, and to love the name of the Lord, To be His servants, every one who keeps from profaning the sabbath And holds fast My covenant; Even those I will bring to My holy mountain And make them joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be acceptable on My altar; For My house will be called a house of prayer for all the peoples.”
Isaiah 56:1-7 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.56.1-7.NASB19950

🌹The Lord God, who gathers the dispersed of Israel, declares, “Yet others I will gather to them, to those already gathered.”

Thankful Praying

Nov18

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/php.4.6-7.NASB1995

What a friend we have in Jesus. One so near who knows our wants and needs before we even open our mouths but listens anyway. I am so thankful He is only a breath away.
When I pour out my heart, He brings my heart to thankfulness. Thankful that He is big enough to handle the tears, fears, troubles and my confessions of sin. Thankful that He is a forgiving God and able to restore my heart and mind. Thankful for His peace and grace; forgiveness and restoration.

Anxiety replaced with peace.
Requests turned to thankful praise.
Yes, I am very thankful I have a friend in Jesus.

To Whom Do I Turn?

Sep25

Living life is not always easy. Like when the bottom falls out of your perfectly planned day. The times when your kids are too quiet and you find they have totally redecorated your sofa with markers and glued on flowers. Or maybe the stress of having enough income to cover this month’s bills. The news that there is a layoff coming to your workplace. Where do you go? What do you do?

In my distress I called upon the Lord, And cried to my God for help; He heard my voice out of His temple, And my cry for help before Him came into His ears.
Psalms 18:6 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.18.6.NASB1995

In my trouble I cried to the Lord, And He answered me.
Psalms 120:1 NASB1995

Dwell in The Love of God

Sep23

But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.
Jude 1:20-21 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jud.1.20-21.NASB1995

Contend earnestly for the faith. Fight the good fight of faith; take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, 
having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in your faith. Just as you were instructed, encourage one another and build up one another, overflowing with gratitude. With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints while anxiously looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus.
Jude 1:3/1 Timothy 6:12/Colossians 2:7/1 Thessalonians 5:11/Ephesians 6:18/Titus 2:13 NASB1995 

🌹so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him.

Favorite Verse

Sep16

Do you have a special verse that speaks to you? A verse that may encourage you, give you relief, peace; strengthens you or guides you?

I treasure all of God’s word but I have a verse that stands out in my life.  Moses is a favorite of mine. He was used by God.  He knew God and God knew him. The verse I want to share today is:

Then Moses said, “I pray You, show me Your glory!”
Exodus 33:18 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/exo.33.18.NASB1995

I often ask God to show me His glory and He has revealed it to me. My mind and eyes, over the years have been trained, I believe, to see God’s glory as I walk with Him in life. I see His glory in the magnificence of a sunset or sunrise. I hear His glory in the laughter of a giggling child. God reveals His glory in an answered prayer, a new believer, scripture that comes at just the right time, from a friend or reading it somewhere, and so many other ways. I watch closely to see God’s glory.

I would love to be encouraged by your verse or verses if you are willing to share it and how it speaks to you.

🌹Jesus *said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?”

Struggling in Prayer

Sep11

Many people struggle with being a “good” prayer warrior. We feel that we need to carry the conversation instead of being still. We strive to say the right words, many times throwing out those “religious” words or quoting scripture. God already knows the scripture, after all He wrote them. He already knows what we are going to say before we pray.

Do we put too much emphasis on the “what we pray” instead of Who we are praying to? Sometimes just being in His presence is enough. God just wants our attention, our devotion, our focus, not because He needs it but because we need it. God already knows the outcome of all His Creation. Prayer just opens our eyes to see results and participate in what He is accomplishing. Our focus is Him. Prayer opens our eyes to see what He is doing.

🌹“Cease striving and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”
Psalms 46:10 NASB1995
