And we are confident that he hears us whenever we ask for anything that pleases him. (15) And since we know he hears us when we make our requests, we also know that he will give us what we ask for.  ~I John 5:14-15  

~~~

Father, Your Word tells us that You hear us whenever we ask for anything that pleases You. 

Lord, we ask your blessing over our families today.  Help us to build in to our families.  To build up our families.  And Father, we ask You to build faith in our families

These are the commands, decrees and laws the Lord your God directed me to teach you to observe in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess, (2) so that you, your children and their children after them may fear the Lord your God as long as you live by keeping all his decrees and commands that I give you, and so that you may enjoy long life.

(3) Hear, Israel, and be careful to obey so that it may go well with you and that you may increase greatly in a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, promised you. 

(4) Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. (5) Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. (6) These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. (7) Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. (8) Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. (9) Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.  ~Deuteronomy 6:1-9

Mighty God, we ask for work ethic today.  Whatever work you have laid before us, let us get after it today.  May we do our best at it today.  Help us to contribute positively in all situations today, Lord. 

  • Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, (24) since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.  ~Colssians 3:23-24
  • Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might...  ~Ecclesiastes 9:10  
  • And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.  ~Colossians 3:17

~~~

Holy Father, we ask for a stronger faith today.  Not a stronger schedule, nor stronger actions, or stronger outcomes.  All of those things are up to You, Lord, but we ask You to increase our faith in You today. Increase our desire for You and Your Word, Lord.

Lord, we ask for less of us today and more of You today.

He must increase, but I must decrease.  ~John 3:30

~~~

Almighty God, we ask for others to see You through us today, Lord.  Let our smile disarm competition and strife...and instead, may we provide a warm calm to others as we exhibit Your love, acceptance, and good plan for them through any means that You direct us to.

We ask this of You today, God.

  • Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.  ~Matthew 5:9
  • If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.  ~Romans 12:18 
  • Finally, brothers and sisters, rejoice! Strive for full restoration, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.  ~2 Corinthians 13:11

~~~

Father we ask for Your holy guard and guidance over our words today.  May what we say be Yours and of Your Spirit.

  • The tongue has the power of life and death...  ~Proverbs 18:21 
  • Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.

~~~

Gracious Lord, we ask that you guide our steps today, Lord.  Direct our thoughts, our words, and our lives today.  

  • Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; (6) in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.  ~Proverbs 3:5-6

~~~

We ask You for everything, and we seek to please You today, Lord.  Amen.

And we are confident that he hears us whenever we ask for anything that pleases him. (15) And since we know he hears us when we make our requests, we also know that he will give us what we ask for.  ~I John 5:14-15  


Blessings,

It’s never too late to turn to the Lord.   And--it’s never too late to turn back to the Lord.   Do we GET IT?   King Hezekiah GOT IT.   The people in his area (Israel) had not been following the Lord, and they had fallen away from the (God-ordained) traditions that the Lord had designed to connect His people with Himself,  like going to church (Temple), and like celebrating the festival of Passover.  So they sent a proclamation throughout all Israel...inviting everyone to come to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover of the  Lord , the God of Israel. The people had not been celebrating it in great numbers as required in the Law ( 2 Chronicles 30:5). Hezekiah  invited the people back to church!  But how to get the word out? He  wrote letters of invitation to the people (2 Chronicles 30:1), but letters without delivery are dead messages.  Hezekiah needed to get the letters ... to God's people! At the king’s command, runners were...

Ever been around boys (of any age)?  They don't concern themselves with talking about   other  boys...they are not (usually) comparative that way, and would prefer to be competitive instead.  They are often contented with jokes and sounds, rather than defaming other guys or discussing their shortfalls. But...ever been around women ( of any age )?  For some sinful reason, our conversations often seem to p ick-a-little, talk-a-little, pick some more and talk, talk, talk about other women.  We  simmer into a boil as we digress and regress into unbecoming chatter about   other  women.   It's a terrible habit and yet girls in elementary school don't need to be taught how and even elderly church biddies can't quite fully withdraw.  We all still fall to condemning others  from time to time.  We have this sinful draw to make ourselves feel good by chirping back and forth and making someone   else   feel bad. It's na...

The earth is the   Lord ’s, and everything in it.   The world and all its people belong to him.   (2)  For he laid the earth’s foundation on the seas  and built it on the ocean depths.   ~Psalm 24:1-2 We belong to Him, but also…our world belongs to Him: and  everything in it .   Everything.   Every tree and flower, every person, every pelican, everything. How are we responding to that glorious Truth today?   Can we praise Him today?  Can we acknowledge and absorb (and respond!) to the awesome Truth that we belong to Him :  the Creator of all things, and our Creator?   He laid the earth’s foundation ...and (even)  the earth  knows that it belongs to him ... Do we? Are we choosing to respond to Him today?   The trees do.    Looking out my window as I read these words of God, I saw these words  proven by God as n aked tree-branch arms were raised in praise of their Creat...
