![]() "Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass." Psalms 37:5 ***** But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one. 2 Thessalonians 3:3 ***** Leviticus 19:16, NLT "Do not spread slanderous gossip among your people. Do not stand idly by when your neighbor’s life is threatened. I am the LORD." ***** Mark 12:30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. ***** Acts 3:19 (NIV) Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord... Thought: Give God the wheel. He wants to lead your life. ***** Give thanks to the LORD and proclaim his greatness. Let the whole world know what he has done. - 1 Chronicles 16:8 ***** Today’s Scripture: I Peter 4:12-13 (NLT): Dear friends, don't be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through, as if something strange were happening to you. Instead, be very glad-because these trials will make you partners with Christ in his suffering, and afterward you will have the wonderful joy of sharing his glory when it is displayed to all the world. Today’s Thought: One of the hardest things to do as a Christian is to trust God through trials. We are going to face them. Trusting God through them makes you stronger. Lean on Jesus, He cares and wants to help you! Today’s Prayer: Lord, I ask that You help me learn to trust You in trials. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen! ***** O LORD my God, I take refuge in you; save and deliver me from all who pursue me... —Psalm 7:1 ***** Micah 6:8 NIV He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.

"And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent."

Honor one another above yourselves. ***** And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable.

"Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established." Proverbs 16:3 ***** 1 Thessalonians 5:17, NLT "Never stop praying." ***** In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy - being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:4-6 ***** May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. Psalm 19:14 ***** Today’s Scripture: I Peter 4:19 (NLT): So if you are suffering according to God's will, keep on doing what is right, and trust yourself to the God who made you, for he will never fail you. Today’s Thought: When one is in a battle it is often hard not to trust God. However, it is in these times we should trust Him even more. No matter how hard it gets, how much you want to “throw in the towel,” He will never leave you or forsake you! Today’s Prayer: Lord, thank You for never leaving me. I ask that You help me learn to trust You no matter what I am facing. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen! ***** Ephesians 3:12 In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.

Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God not by works, so that no one can boast. ***** "And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?" John 11:26 ***** Galatians 5:1, NIV "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery." ***** So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free. - John 8:36 ***** Today’s Scripture: I Peter 5:7 (NLT): Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about what happens to you. Today’s Thought: God cares about you. He does not just care about a few things, but everything! He cares about you so much that He knows exactly how many hairs you have on your head! ***** For the LORD gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. — Proverbs 2:6 ***** 2 Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

He answered: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'" Luke 10:27 ***** "Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me." Psalms 51:10 ***** John 8:36, ESV "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." ***** For I cried out to him for help, praising him as I spoke. - Psalm 66:17 ***** One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple. Psalm 27:4 ***** Today’s Scripture: I Peter 5:8-9 (NLT): Be careful! Watch out for attacks from the Devil, your great enemy. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for some victim to devour. Take a firm stand against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your Christian brothers and sisters all over the world are going through the same kind of suffering you are. Today’s Thought: Whether we realize it or not, we are in a constant battle with the devil. He wants you to fail, he wants you to fall in sin and ultimately die. There is hope though. His name is Jesus Christ! Today’s Prayer: Lord, thank You for sending Your Son to die for me! I ask that You help me not to fall into the devils traps. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen! ***** Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. —John 17:3 ***** Jesus replied, "What is impossible with men is possible with God." — Luke 18:27 ***** Isaiah 6:8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send?

Psalms 55:17 ***** The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Philemon 1:25 ***** Romans 8:26, ESV "Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness.

Psalm 103:12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. ***** Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker; for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care Psalm 95:6–7 ***** I will answer them before they even call to me. While they are still talking about their needs, I will go ahead and answer their prayers! - Isaiah 65:24 ***** Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. – James 4:7 ***** Today’s Scripture: I Peter 1:8-9 (NLT): You love him even though you have never seen him. Though you do not see him, you trust him; and even now you are happy with a glorious, inexpressible joy. Your reward for trusting him will be the salvation of your souls. Today’s Thought: It is so rewarding serving God! He is so holy, worthy and awesome. Today, let’s dwell on everything He has done for us and give Him praise for it all! Today’s Prayer: Lord, thank You for saving me! Thank You for all Your wonderful blessings in my life! I ask that You always remind me of what You have done for me. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen! ***** Lamentations 3:19-24 I remember my affliction and my wandering, the bitterness and the gall. I well remember them, and my soul is downcast within me. Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.”
