Lesson From Ants! 🐜

“Take a lesson from the ants, you lazybones. Learn from their ways and become wise! Though they have no prince or governor or ruler to make them work, they labor hard all summer, gathering food for the winter. But you, lazybones, how long will you sleep? When will you wake up? A little extra sleep, a little more slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest— then poverty will pounce on you like a bandit; scarcity will attack you like an armed robber.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭6:6-11‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Pray big, Dream big, Take Risks! 🙏

We love our comfort; God prefers our faith. We like predictability; God invites us on an adventure. We want relief; God wants redemption. We want a break; God is after a breakthrough. Hidden in every trying circumstance is an opportunity to experience God, to engage our faith, and to see Him move. More often than not, we ask too little from God. He’s greater, grander, and more magnificent than we can imagine. And He’ll waste nothing. He’s using every nuance of your story to make you into someone you never dreamed you could be. Pray Big. Dream Big. Take Risks. Jesus will lead you on the best path for your life.

Psalm 33:20-22 AMP ~ We wait [expectantly] for the Lord; He is our help and our shield. For in Him our heart rejoices, because we trust [lean on, rely on, and are confident] in His holy name. Let Your [steadfast] lovingkindness, O Lord, be upon us, in proportion as we have hoped in You.

To be More Like Jesus 🎶

Good morning Heavenly Father.

Thank You for others that show Your examples, speak of Your truths, have a heart that wants to serve You. Help the rest of us to be open to seeing and hearing all things that lead us to desire and want to be more and more like You, to know more and more about You. Show us how to do the things You want us to do, especially the things we are not comfortable with, feel like we are not qualified for, but the words we should use with how each person needs to hear it. Soften our hearts where they need it most. Help us put down our pride, selfishness, greed, and anything else we need to shed ourselves of. I lift all the people who are not saved to You. You are the Miracle healing compassionate God of love, nothing is beyond Your capabilities, help them see and understand the importance of being saved. Thank You for all the ones that are.

I ask according to Your will. In the name of your son, Christ Jesus. Amen

I am sharing my friend’s prayer that she sent me this morning. It touched my heart and I remembered the song. To be like Jesus, to be like Jesus on earth I long to be like him. 🎶

If that is your desire today Ask him to change your heart. Surrender your life to him snd align your will with his will. Lord, I will go where you want me to go, I will do what you want me to do. Because I know, all things are possible through Christ that strengthens me.

God I need You🙏

Dear Heavenly Father,

Lord, there is no other God like you. You are the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. Thank you, Lord, for being so merciful, full of compassion and forgiveness. Thank you for sending your son, Jesus Christ, to become our sin past, present, and future for the entire world. Jesus paid the price to set us free so we can have eternal life. We claim the promise John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. The only way to the Father is through me. Father, I ask that you lead and guide me. Show me the path that leads to abundant life, and please convict me when I am tempted to stray from You. I ask this all in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Have faith that God will transform your life!

This morning I got to talk to a friend about discouragement in our life and how we need to be closer to God instead of relying on ourselves. Matthew 7:7 says ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be open to you. This verse reminds me of Mark 5: 24-34 so Jesus went with him. A large crowd followed and pressed around him. And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for 12 years. She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse. When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, because she thought,”if I just touch his clothes, I will be healed.”immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering. At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?” “You see the people crowding against you,” his disciples answered,” and yet you can ask,’who touched me?'”but Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it. Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth. He said to her,”daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.” So just to clarify, God is telling us that if we ask, seek and knock He will help us in whatever is going on in our lives. We need to have enough faith knowing that all we have to do is touch the very corner of his cloak and he will fix what is wrong. As of right now I have been hearing of so many of my friends that have fallen ill or have something wrong with them medically and they’ve been dealing with it for a while. It’s not only their problems but physical, financial, emotional, and spiritual problems that are happening on both their end and in my family. Without prayer and faith in God these can seem like extraordinarily large mountains. However through prayer meditation and study he will help us through these problems that aren’t so big to him.

Help Me To Reflect Your Love To Others ❤️
