THURSDAYS’ PRAYERS!

PRAYN AND FASTING PIC

SELAH Daily Devotions!

GOOD MORNING FAMILY! GOTTA MOMENT?  Once again, we  are excited to invite  you to join us today, in our weekly day of Corporate Prayer and Fasting! SHALL WE PRAY?

“We love U Lord, and we lift our voice; to worship U O my soul, rejoice! Take joy my KING, in what U hear, and let it be a sweet, sweet, sound in UR ears!…MAJESTY, WE WORSHIP HIS MAJESTY….THERE IS NONE LIKE U…NO ONE ELSE CAN DO THE THINGS THAT U DO…WE CAN SEARCH 4 ALL OF ETERNITY…AND FIND THAT THERE’S NONE LIKE UUUU …(sanngyall!)

Heavenly Father, once again we come thanking you for THIS day!  We thank You for our being able to see and to hear this morning. We’re so blessed because You are a forgiving God and an understanding God. You have done so much for each and every one of us!And while, none of us deserve it, Lord You just keep right on blessing. Father, forgive me now for everything I have done, said or thought that was not pleasing to you. Continue to lead me in the Path of Righteousness and help me to walk reflecting The Light of  Glory!

As we embrace the day ahead, please keep us safe from all danger and harm. Help me to start this day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude. Let us make the best of each moment! Lord Jesus, clear mind so that I can hear from You.

Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no control over. Let me continue to see sin through God’s eyes and acknowledge it as evil. And when I sin, quicken my spirit to repent, and confess with my mouth my wrongdoing, and receive the forgiveness of God.

And when this world closes in on us, let us remember our Lord Jesus’ example — to slip away and find a quiet place to pray. It’s always our best response when we’re pushed beyond our limits. I thank you also because we know that even when we can’t pray, You listen to MY heart. Father, as we lean and depend on Your Grace, we pray that You continue to use us to do Your will.

Continue to bless us that we may be a blessing to others. Keep us strong that we may help the weak.. Keep us uplifted that we may have words of encouragement for others. We pray for those who are lost and can’t find their way. We pray for those who are misjudged and misunderstood. We pray for those who don’t know You intimately. We pray for those who will delete this without sharing it with others. We pray for those who don’t believe. Yet, we thankya for the blessed day when you opened our hearts and enabled us to believe and receive the revelation of the Saving Grace of Jesus Christ! We know that You are no respector of persons, and this grace is yet available to any who will ask!

Father, we know that as we continue to seek Your face our faith in God changes me, people and God changes things! We pray for all our sisters and brothers and for every family member in their households. We’re praying for peace, love and joy in their homes that they are out of debt and all their needs are met. In Jesus Name!
Father, we’re lifting up our children, our children’s children by faith, committing them into Your care, realizing that you have a plan and purpose for their lives too; we have the blessed assurance that their steps are being ordered by Your eyes!
We bless and thank you, Abba Father, for our President Obama and his family. We thank you now that no weapon that is formed against them shall prosper. We pray for all government, legislative,corporate and spiritual leaders, and ask that their hearts be continuously opened to hear and obey Your Will!

Father we wait in confidence and quietness, trusting wholly that all workers of iniquity are trembling and suddenly departing in shame, turning their backs from Your people, because You have heard the voice of our weeping, our supplications and received our prayer as a sweet savor coming up before Your Sovereign Throne of Grace and Mercy!

THE MASTER’S BOUQUET

THE MASTER'S BOUQUET PIC

SELAH Daily Devotions!

 

“I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.” Isaiah 61:10-11

 

Living on the East Coast,  allows us the opportunity to enjoy the experience of watching with sheer delight as the seasons transition displaying God awesomeness! BUT! Don’tchajusluv SPRING? 

WOW! Ever looked at it like this? The whole earth is waking up from a long cold winter’s night and suddenly exploding under the light of a brand new day, huh? Seems like everywhere you turn, flowers are bursting up with blossoms filling the air with the sweet frangrance of fresh!

The Light of HOPE springs ALIVE dismissing the dismal depths of past failures, disappointments and desolations, arousing passion, promises and potential. Feeldat? Aaaaahhhhh! Oh Yeah, LOVE is in the air!

Didjaheardat?  Even the birds are tweeting songs of thanksgiving and praise to the Faithfulness of their Benefactor’s sustaining Grace. Listen! The streets and playgrounds are filled with children’s lalughter, dancing beneath the afternoon showers as the joy revives the strength of many who have been wearied and burdened by  far too many lengthy tear-filled restless nights!

That’s simplly awemazing, huh? I mean, inspite of all that gossip, sibling bickering and too much unsolicited advice, once again families are gathered round banquet-sized tables, anxiously anticipating the first bite! That’s if PopPop ever gets finished boasting about his culinary skills and brings the BBQ chicken, ribs and those famous ever-so-slightly burned hot dogs and burgers to the table and puts them along side Aunt Bessie’s baked beans and Big Mama’s infamous potato salad!

OMG! Now where dem older kids, think they slippin off to? Funny how they think us old folk were born old! Ha! Ha! ‘Can somebody go tell them guys, if they keep walking back to the trucks, they ain’t gonna get no pig feet!’

‘Can you believe that Uncle D thinks he’s getting away with slipping all those extra cookies, candy and chips to dem kids (as if anyone could miss it—with all that noise behind the side of the house)!’

‘Can you tell Pastor to come bless the food, please?’

Gotta Luv It! NOW THAT’S LIFE—MORE ABUNDANT AND FILLED WITH GLORRAAA! THAT’S THE HANDIWORK OF THE MASTER’S BOUQUET! #um..um…umm! Can hardly wait, huh?

SELAH!

Pause, Ponder, Pray & Praiz!
