Today's Prayer
Dear God, I worship you and lift up my praise to you, my Creator and Sustainer. Thank you for showing me the things that bind me on this earth. Open my eyes that I may always be mindful of what may hold me in bondage. Help me to resist the things I should. Help me to steer clear of hazards and to draw strength from Your Holy Spirit when temptations are enticing me. Please help me to break free...and to experience total freedom in you. Thank you, my gracious God. In the name…

Seeing God in Your Everyday Life
"When...he turned aside...God called to him." Exodus 3:4 NKJV
It was business-as-usual for Moses the day he noticed the burning bush, an event that wasn't uncommon in the hot desert. Except this time the bush kept burning. And "when...he turned aside to look, God called to him." You'll have some of your greatest spiritual experiences in the midst of your everyday life - if you're open to a divine interruption.
In Luke, Chapter…

We throw around the term “my best friend” as a way to describe the friend who has come to mean the most to us and with whom we have bonded on the deepest level. We long for deep friendships.
But the truth is that close friendships are hard to nurture and even harder to keep. Most of us know more about losing friends than we know about finding new friendships. We know even less in our transient society about how to sustain good friendships.…

Subject: I,TOO,HAVE A DREAM
Body: Here's one of my many "dreams:"
I, Too, Have a Dream
I have a dream that one day our nation will truly be one under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all people.
I have a dream that God would rule the hearts of all men, and that His laws--not man-made ones--but God's laws of love, mercy, grace, and justice would be the Supreme Court of our land.
I have a…

The Prayer that Leads to Praise
Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God. Philippians 4:6 (KJV)
Now, Philippians 4:6 says don't be worried or anxious about anything. Be anxious for nothing, but in every-thing, everything. That means in your financial things, in your physical things, in your relational things, in…

Prayer That Gets Results
Prayer is probably one of the most misunderstood and potentially frustrating topics because many people don't know how to get results when they pray. The simplicity of prayer has been lost in many people's lives and turned into a religious tradition that has a form but no real power. Prayer is not meant to be a burden or to be used as a badge of holiness. Instead, it is a gift from God that, when used properly, should yield great victory in your life.
In…

Today's Prayer
Dear God, Thank you for this new summer day. Thank you for the beautiful sunshine, fluffy clouds, and fresh rains. I am in awe of Your works. The thunderstorms that send lightening and thunder crashing, the wind that comes to dry up the heavy rain, the bumblebee that flies in spite of being too big and heavy for those little wings, the lightening bugs that flicker at night and send children chasing through the yard, the crickets that chirp, and the frogs and birds that sing,…

Today's Prayer
Dear God, I pray that I will be able to control my anger in situations that cause me to become angry. Please help me to "be angry and not sin." I don't like being angry, but sometimes things happen that cause it to rise up inside of me. Help me to respond with wisdom and calmness or to keep quiet until my emotions are under better control. Please guide me and direct me in all things. Thank You for not taking out anger upon me when You are upset with me. Thank You for loving…

And when he had looked round about on them with anger.(PC.) According to some this would mean that Christ was not sanctified and that He had the "old man" in Him, but it only demonstrates that anger is not necessarily a manifestation of sin and satan. Both God and man have it and will always have it. Without it man would not be capable of waging warfare against sin and satan.So do not pray to be de-humanized and un-created, but pray for control of all…

Today's Prayer
Dear God, There's a little silly song I've heard that goes like this: "Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble, when you're perfect in every way..." Well, people may laugh at that little "jingle," but the truth is, too many of us think of ourselves more highly than we should. I'm sorry for when I've been guilty of that. I'm not always right, and usually admit when I'm wrong, but there are times when my attitude has been too "high and mighty" or "holier than thou." I do not want to…

Have you ever stopped to think how incredibly amazing it is that God, the Creator of all things, God who owns all things, God who is in control of all things - is with you all the time? You are never along. Never. Whatever you're going through, no matter how difficult or frightening, you are not alone. It's true that sometimes you may not be able to "feel" His presence, but that doesn't change the fact that He is with you. He has promised to always be present. He's with you and is willing to…

Dear God, Thank you for all the children in the world. Every one is precious, a heritage and gift from you. I pray for protection, guidance, good health, loving families, positive role models, and many blessings upon these children. So many are mistreated. Others are covered in love. Some are spoiled, others have nothing--not even bare necessities. Please reach out and touch them all, and meet every need in the way you see best. In Jesus' name I pray,…
