Good Morning Family ☀️

Today’s Scripture

“For the battle is not yours, but God’s.”
2 Chronicles 20:15, NIV

Today’s Word

We all have situations that we feel pressured to fix—to straighten someone out, to force a door to open, to resolve a problem, to get a child back on course. We take matters into our own hands, strive and strain, and often end up frustrated. There are times when the best thing you can do is leave it alone. That’s not your battle. You have to “be still and know that He is God.” No matter how hard you try or how much pressure you put on, there are some things you can’t fix. If you keep forcing it and manipulating things, it not only brings more stress, but you’ll do more damage than good.

You know that your part is to believe for change, but there is this underlying pressure telling you, “You have to do something.” Don’t fall into that trap. After you’ve prayed, you’ve believed, you’ve done what you can, you have to take your hands off it. “God, I trust You. I know You’ve got this. I’m going to stay in peace and let You do what only You can do.”

Prayer For Today

“Father, thank You that the battle before me today is not mine but Yours. I could be worried and upset, but I’m going to take my seat and live from a place of rest. I’m going to be still and trust You. I believe that You are bigger than any problem, and You’ve got this. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”🙏🏾☀️❤️

Happy Monday Family ☀️

Today’s Scripture

“I will go before you and make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron.”
Isaiah 45:2, NKJV

Today’s Word

What do you do when you’ve prayed and believed, but you don’t see anything happening? Your health isn’t improving, your child isn’t turning around, you haven’t met the right person. It’s easy to get discouraged and think God didn’t hear us, that maybe it’s not meant to be. But what you can’t see is that God has already gone before you and there are things He’s already done. The moment you prayed He set the miracle into motion. He lined up the healing, the right person, the breaks you need. Now here’s the key: You have to stay in faith until those blessings show up. Thoughts will tell you, “It’s never going to happen, nothing’s changing.” Don’t get talked out of it. If you’re going to see His blessings, you have to have faith that says, “I’m not moved by what I see. I know God is working. I know things have changed in my favor. I know the answer is on the way.” You have that kind of attitude, and it’s just a matter of time before you see what God has done.

Prayer For Today

“Father, thank You that You go before me and make the crooked places straight. Thank You that when I don’t see a difficulty changing, I can rest knowing that You went to work the moment I prayed and You will straighten it all out. I am expecting Your supernatural grace and favor to be for me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”🙏🏾☀️❤️

Good Morning Family ☀️

Today’s Scripture
John 12:43, NIV
..for they loved human praise more than praise from God.
Today’s Word

Jesus talks about those who love the praise of people more than the praise of God. One of the tests we all have to pass is when someone whom we respect or like wants us to go one direction, yet we know in our hearts we should take another path. We want their approval, but if we are to fulfill our destiny, we have to stay true to what He's put in our heart. If you please God, His favor, His anointing, and His blessing will cause you to excel. If you quit worrying about what others think, you'll see new opportunities and relationships. God's favor will increase you.

People will tell you how to run your life. If you try to please everyone, you'll be confused, frustrated, and miserable. Don't let people control you and go around feeling guilty because you don't fit into their boxes. They may not understand why you don't take their advice, but look straight ahead, and as the apostle Paul says, "Run with purpose in every step."

Prayer for Today

Father, thank You for the way You guide me with Your peace and joy. Thank You that I can be free from living for the approval of others because I have Your approval. I declare that I want to stay true to pleasing You and You alone as I run the race You've set before me. In Jesus' Name, Amen🙏🏾☀️❤️

Good Morning Family ☀️

Today’s Scripture

Mary responded, “Oh, how my soul praises the Lord. How my spirit rejoices in God my Savior! For he took notice of his lowly servant girl, and from now on all generations will call me blessed.”
Luke 1:46–48, NLT

Today’s Word

It’s interesting that Mary never asked to give birth to the Christ. She wasn’t looking for the fame. She was about to get married to Joseph, making wedding plans. Right in the middle of one of the most exciting times in her life, she was interrupted. Her wedding plans were put on hold. It went from a celebratory time to a very stressful time. She was highly favored, but the burden of facing her fiancé, family, and friends who thought she’d been unfaithful must have seemed much bigger than the blessing. But the reason God chose Mary is because He knew He could trust her to carry the burden with a good attitude, without complaining, and fulfill His purpose.

We talk a lot about us trusting God, but my question is, Can God trust you? Can He count on you to go through seasons that you don’t understand, to carry a heavy burden that you didn’t ask for, and still have an attitude of faith? If He gives it to you, it’s because He knows you have what it takes to fulfill His purpose.

Prayer For Today

“Father, thank You for the blessings You have put on my life because I trust in You. Thank You that You also trust me to carry certain burdens with a good attitude. I believe that You are giving me the grace and the strength to fulfill Your purposes. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”🙏🏾❤️☀️
