Hope in Jesus Christ!
bible.com/bible/111/psa.16.10-11.NIV
“Lord, you alone are my portion and my cup; you make my lot secure. The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance. I will praise the Lord, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me. I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure, because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, nor will you let your faithful one see decay. You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.”
Psalms 16:5-11 NIV
Glorify God!

1 Peter 4:19 NIV
Set your Eyes, Mind and Affection On Me!
Focus on what I’m doing. Stop being more in awe of what the enemy does than you are of my limitless possibilities. Let your mind be renewed and brought into a heavenly perspective. Your life, your true life, is now hidden in my realm of glory. That is where your focus must be. Set your eyes and your affections on heavenly things, and watch the healing of your heart be completed.
My children, come into my courts and see what I have provided for my household. I have a heavenly eye salve that will open your eyes to the brightness of my glory. I have pure robes to place upon your inadequacy and weakness. Seek my face, forsake your habits of passivity, and stir your heart to come into my heavenly chamber. Praise me, and I will open doors into greater glory. I am the God who makes you new, strong, and courageous. It’s in me that you live, move, and exist fully. Let this knowledge bring you into the fulfilling life I have designed you to have, and let it fuel your love for me.
Whispers written by Brian Simmons and Gretchen Rodriguez
“He has done this so that every person would long for God, feel their way to him, and find him—for he is the God who is easy to discover! It is through him that we live and function and have our identity; just as your own poets have said, ‘Our lineage comes from him.’ Acts 17:27-28. The Passion Translation.

colossians.bible/colossians-4-6
“Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should. Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.”
Colossians 4:2-6 NIV
Good Morning Heavenly Father🙏

“O Lord, hear me as I pray; pay attention to my groaning. Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for I pray to no one but you. Listen to my voice in the morning, Lord. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly.”
Psalms 5:1-3 NLT
Purchased Freedom for everyone!
bible.com/bible/116/1ti.2.6.NLT
“I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity. This is good and pleases God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth. For, There is one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus. He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone. This is the message God gave to the world at just the right time.”
1 Timothy 2:1-6 NLT
Experience God’s Peace!

“Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony. And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful.”
Colossians 3:12-15 NLT
