2 Corinthians 12:9
But He said to me, My grace (My favor and loving-kindness and mercy) is enough for you [sufficient against any danger and enables you to bear the trouble manfully]; for My strength and power are made perfect (fulfilled and completed) and show themselves most effective in [your] weakness. Therefore, I will all the more gladly glory in my weaknesses and infirmities, that the strength and power of Christ (the Messiah) may rest (yes, may pitch a tent over and dwell) upon me!
His grace covers all sin we are forgiven by the grace of the Lord Jesus. Can you imagine he loves us so much he covered all our sins. Wow I just get so excited about all of this and all of him.
Be blessed and be a blessing

I know you and others will because we don't want to see our loved ones lost. Lord we know many who do not know you and my prayer is that you would touch their hearts and open their eyes. You are a loving father who just wants to give us our hearts desire but we must be willing to obey your laws.Amen Be blessed and be a blessing |

Thank you most glorious Father for another day to be alive and to enjoy life. At times we become overwhelmed but with your help we overcome whatever stops us from having peace. Lift up those around me who need a special touch and give them joy. In Jesus name I pray Amen

Psalm 86:11
Teach me Your way, O Lord, that I may walk and live in Your truth; direct and unite my heart [solely, reverently] to fear and honor Your name.

I will confess and praise You, O Lord my God, with my whole (united) heart; and I will glorify Your name forevermore.
This is my desireAmen

I am walking beside you Lord each and every day and I will hold tightly to your hand but sometimes I need you to carry me because I am just to faint to walk. I can see us walking side by side and just talking together Amen.
If you can try and visualize yourself in his presence and think of him as your best friend. He wants to talk to you all the time and he loves you unconditionally.

I am reading Leviticus right now and I am very surprised to see how much has changed in the world from those times. With all the sacrafices and customs and things that are considered evil or sinful that people take for granted these days. Seems like moses hand his hands full even back then with society.
The priests back then were allowed to have a wife too. Sometimes I think Catholic priests should be allowed to have a wife if they wanted.

Those laws were something weren't they . Can you imagine if they were enforced today? A whole bunch of us would not be here including me but thank God he sent his son Jesus that we no longer have to follow those laws and he knew we could not so he paid the price for our sins once and for all. I really enjoyed the old testament with all the stories and you could see God just had a plan all along. Those laws were given to them for their own good like the what to eat or not eat. It was so they didn't get sick. I am glad you are enjoying the Bible it is his love letter to us. I also think the Catholics should let their priests marry. I grew up Catholic and I always thought they should have been able to marry. Be blessed everyone and rest in the Lord Amen |

I thank you God for all the life lessons you are teaching me. I have to get some things right or I will just keep going around that mountain until I figure it out and not keep making the same mistakes. If I stop and listen to the Holy Spirit I will grow with each lesson Amen.

There is a lot of negativity here today and I am feeling very uncomfortable posting at this point, so I guess I will pray alone today and not share anything for today.
I have already had to report a PM I received to admin/mods, and I am feeling VERY uncomfortable right now.
I have also been forced to add a person to my ignore list - such a shame that people feel the need to lash out and be so ugly, trying to hurt with words. I am getting that de ja vu feeling here...... and a lot of you will understand what I mean.
God bless you all and I hope things improve here in these forums.
No one ever has to pray alone that's for sure. I am sorry you felt you had to report someone but I know this thread is for prayers so if you need any this is the place to be. I am not really sure what's going on but if we turn our cares over to the Lord he will take care of them. I think people here have been very respectfull of others and I hope you can keep that in mind when you are having a difficult time. Thank you Lord for being Lord Amen |

The joy of the Lord is my strength and I receive his peace. He is a loving father who will take care of his children when they are hurting. If anyone is hurting today ask him to confort you and to draw you near. I promise you he will. Nothing is impossible with God Amen.
Be blessed and be a blessing
Being able to come here each day is such a blessing to me because I look forward to this time I can focus on the Lord and step back from the turmoils of my day. So again thank you SA

Most merciful God,
there are many in this city
who hate themselves,
who consider their lives worthless,
who have not known the healing of love.
Touch them with the wonder and power
of your transforming love
that their lives may be made whole,
that they may find fulfillment in life,
that they may rejoice in your blessing.
Amen.

5Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding.
6In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.
7Be not wise in your own eyes; reverently fear and worship the Lord and turn [entirely] away from evil.(C)
8It shall be health to your nerves and sinews, and marrow and moistening to your bones.
Be blessed and be a blessing

Thank you Lord for a new day and a new month. I ask that as the year is winding down that our lives will also slow down. We are always in such a hurry and life is but a vapor. It will be gone before we know it so help us all to just enjoy the things and people around us Amen

Today is Friday and that's a good thing for those who have to work so I pray for all of you to have a great Friday. Lord we know you want us to rest just as you rested on the seventh day. We need that time of rest so that we can relax and meditate on the things we have accomplished. Thank you for rest Amen

Hebrews 11
1NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, [a]the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses].
2For by [faith--[b]trust and holy fervor born of faith] the men of old had divine testimony borne to them and obtained a good report.
3By faith we understand that the worlds [during the successive ages] were framed (fashioned, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose) by the word of God, so that what we see was not made out of things which are visible.
4[Prompted, actuated] by faith Abel brought God a better and more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, because of which it was testified of him that he was righteous [that he was upright and in right standing with God], and God bore witness by accepting and acknowledging his gifts. And though he died, yet [through the incident] he is still speaking.(A)
5Because of faith Enoch was caught up and transferred to heaven, so that he did not have a glimpse of death; and he was not found, because God had translated him. For even before he was taken to heaven, he received testimony [still on record] that he had pleased and been satisfactory to God.(B)
6But without faith it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Him. For whoever would come near to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He is the rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek Him [out].
7[Prompted] by faith Noah, being forewarned by God concerning events of which as yet there was no visible sign, took heed and diligently and reverently constructed and prepared an ark for the deliverance of his own family. By this [his faith which relied on God] he passed judgment and sentence on the world's unbelief and became an heir and possessor of righteousness ([c]that relation of being right into which God puts the person who has faith).(C)
8[Urged on] by faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed and went forth to a place which he was destined to receive as an inheritance; and he went, although he did not know or trouble his mind about where he was to go.
9[Prompted] by faith he dwelt as a temporary resident in the land which was designated in the promise [of God, though he was like a stranger] in a strange country, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow heirs with him of the same promise.(D)
10For he was [waiting expectantly and confidently] looking forward to the city which has fixed and firm foundations, whose Architect and Builder is God.
11Because of faith also Sarah herself received physical power to conceive a child, even when she was long past the age for it, because she considered [God] Who had given her the promise to be reliable and trustworthy and true to His word.(E)
12So from one man, though he was physically as good as dead, there have sprung descendants whose number is as the stars of heaven and as countless as the innumerable sands on the seashore.(F)
13These people all died controlled and sustained by their faith, but not having received the tangible fulfillment of [God's] promises, only having seen it and greeted it from a great distance by faith, and all the while acknowledging and confessing that they were strangers and temporary residents and exiles upon the earth.(G)
14Now those people who talk as they did show plainly that they are in search of a fatherland (their own country).
15If they had been thinking with [homesick] remembrance of that country from which they were emigrants, they would have found constant opportunity to return to it.
16But the truth is that they were yearning for and aspiring to a better and more desirable country, that is, a heavenly [one]. For that reason God is not ashamed to be called their God [even to be surnamed their God--the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob], for He has prepared a city for them.(H)
17By faith Abraham, when he was put to the test [while the testing of his faith was [d]still in progress], [e]had already brought Isaac for an offering; he who had gladly received and welcomed [God's] promises was ready to sacrifice his only son,(I)
18Of whom it was said, Through Isaac shall your descendants be reckoned.(J)
19For he reasoned that God was able to raise [him] up even from among the dead. Indeed in the sense that Isaac was figuratively dead [potentially sacrificed], he did [actually] receive him back from the dead.
20[With eyes of] faith Isaac, looking far into the future, invoked blessings upon Jacob and Esau.(K)
21[Prompted] by faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Joseph's sons and bowed in prayer over the top of his staff.(L)
22[Actuated] by faith Joseph, when nearing the end of his life, referred to [the promise of God for] the departure of the Israelites out of Egypt and gave instructions concerning the burial of his own bones.(M)
23[Prompted] by faith Moses, after his birth, was kept concealed for three months by his parents, because they saw how comely the child was; and they were not overawed and terrified by the king's decree.(N)
24[Aroused] by faith Moses, when he had grown to maturity and [f]become great, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter,(O)
25Because he preferred to share the oppression [suffer the hardships] and bear the shame of the people of God rather than to have the fleeting enjoyment of a sinful life.
26He considered the contempt and abuse and shame [borne for] the Christ (the Messiah Who was to come) to be greater wealth than all the treasures of Egypt, for he looked forward and away to the reward (recompense).
27[Motivated] by faith he left Egypt behind him, being unawed and undismayed by the wrath of the king; for he never flinched but held staunchly to his purpose and endured steadfastly as one who gazed on Him Who is invisible.(P)
28By faith (simple trust and confidence in God) he instituted and carried out the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood [on the doorposts], so that the destroyer of the firstborn (the angel) might not touch those [of the children of Israel].(Q)
29[Urged on] by faith the people crossed the Red Sea as [though] on dry land, but when the Egyptians tried to do the same thing they were swallowed up [by the sea].(R)
30Because of faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encompassed for seven days [by the Israelites].(S)
31[Prompted] by faith Rahab the prostitute was not destroyed along with those who refused to believe and obey, because she had received the spies in peace [without enmity].(T)
32And what shall I say further? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets,(U)
33Who by [the help of] faith subdued kingdoms, administered justice, obtained promised blessings, closed the mouths of lions,(V)
34Extinguished the power of raging fire, escaped the devourings of the sword, out of frailty and weakness won strength and became stalwart, even mighty and resistless in battle, routing alien hosts.(W)
35[Some] women received again their dead by a resurrection. Others were tortured [g]to death with clubs, refusing to accept release [offered on the terms of denying their faith], so that they might be resurrected to a better life. [I Kings 17:17-24; II Kings 4:25-37.]
36Others had to suffer the trial of mocking and scourging and even chains and imprisonment.
37They were stoned to death; they were lured with tempting offers [to renounce their faith]; they were sawn asunder; they were slaughtered by the sword; [while they were alive] they had to go about wrapped in the skins of sheep and goats, utterly destitute, oppressed, cruelly treated--
38[Men] of whom the world was not worthy--roaming over the desolate places and the mountains, and [living] in caves and caverns and holes of the earth.
39And all of these, though they won divine approval by [means of] their faith, did not receive the fulfillment of what was promised,
40Because God had us in mind and had something better and greater in view for us, so that they [these heroes and heroines of faith] should not come to perfection apart from us [before we could join them].

Ephesians 2:10
For we are his handiwork,
Created in Christ Jesus for the good works
that God has prepared in advance,
That we should live in them.
Translated: God gives us each gifts that we are to use not for just for ourselves alone but are given to use in helping others first.

Without faith it is impossible to please God.I think this means we must continue to believe his promises are true and he will give us our hearts desire as long as we believe Amen
