Prayer Of The Day

Lord thank you for another safe trip and watch over anyone else traveling.

He is faithful and I love him completely and forever.
 
John 17
1WHEN JESUS had spoken these things, He lifted up His eyes to heaven and said, Father, the hour has come. Glorify and exalt and honor and magnify Your Son, so that Your Son may glorify and extol and honor and magnify You.
2[Just as] You have granted Him power and authority over all flesh (all humankind), [now glorify Him] so that He may give eternal life to all whom You have given Him.

3And this is eternal life: [it means] to know (to perceive, recognize, become acquainted with, and understand) You, the only true and real God, and [likewise] to know Him, Jesus [as the] Christ (the Anointed One, the Messiah), Whom You have sent.

4I have glorified You down here on the earth by completing the work that You gave Me to do.

5And now, Father, glorify Me along with Yourself and restore Me to such majesty and honor in Your presence as I had with You before the world existed.

6I have manifested Your Name [I have revealed Your very Self, Your real Self] to the people whom You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours, and You gave them to Me, and they have obeyed and kept Your word.

7Now [at last] they know and understand that all You have given Me belongs to You [is really and truly Yours].

8For the [uttered] words that You gave Me I have given them; and they have received and accepted [them] and have come to know positively and in reality [to believe with absolute assurance] that I came forth from Your presence, and they have believed and are convinced that You did send Me.

9I am praying for them. I am not praying (requesting) for the world, but for those You have given Me, for they belong to You.

10All [things that are] Mine are Yours, and all [things that are] Yours belong to Me; and I am glorified in (through) them. [They have done Me honor; in them My glory is achieved.]

11And [now] I am no more in the world, but these are [still] in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, keep in Your Name [[a]in the knowledge of Yourself] those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We [are one].

12While I was with them, I kept and preserved them in Your Name [in the knowledge and worship of You]. Those You have given Me I guarded and protected, and not one of them has perished or is lost except the son of perdition [Judas Iscariot--the one who is now doomed to destruction, destined to be lost], that the Scripture might be fulfilled.(A)

13And now I am coming to You; I say these things while I am still in the world, so that My joy may be made full and complete and perfect in them [that they may experience My delight fulfilled in them, that My enjoyment may be perfected in their own souls, that they may have My gladness within them, filling their hearts].

14I have given and delivered to them Your word (message) and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world [do not belong to the world], just as I am not of the world.

15I do not ask that You will take them out of the world, but that You will keep and protect them from the evil one.

16They are not of the world (worldly, belonging to the world), [just] as I am not of the world.

17Sanctify them [purify, consecrate, separate them for Yourself, make them holy] by the Truth; Your Word is Truth.

18Just as You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.

19And so for their sake and on their behalf I sanctify (dedicate, consecrate) Myself, that they also may be sanctified (dedicated, consecrated, made holy) in the Truth.

20Neither for these alone do I pray [it is not for their sake only that I make this request], but also for all those who will ever come to believe in (trust in, cling to, rely on) Me through their word and teaching,

21That they all may be one, [just] as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be one in Us, so that the world may believe and be convinced that You have sent Me.

22I have given to them the glory and honor which You have given Me, that they may be one [even] as We are one:

23I in them and You in Me, in order that they may become one and perfectly united, that the world may know and [definitely] recognize that You sent Me and that You have loved them [even] as You have loved Me.

24Father, I desire that they also whom You have entrusted to Me [as Your gift to Me] may be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory, which You have given Me [Your love gift to Me]; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.

25O just and righteous Father, although the world has not known You and has failed to recognize You and has never acknowledged You, I have known You [continually]; and these men understand and know that You have sent Me.

26I have made Your Name known to them and revealed Your character and Your very [c]Self, and I will continue to make [You] known, that the love which You have bestowed upon Me may be in them [felt in their hearts] and that I [Myself] may be in them.
 
Lord I thank you for wisdom and I ask for patience. I am just glad I can ask for anything and know you answer.

Be blessed and be a blessing
 
We are approaching the Easter season so I will wait to post the remaining chapters of John around that time.

I have to say this is my favorite time of year. A time to remember what he gave to us with his death on the cross. A time for a new beginning.A time to celebrate the best gift anyone could receive.

Remember when life overwhelms us we can know that it will be only for a season because this too shall pass. I look around me and I am always so thankful for whatever I see and experience. I continue to put my trust in Jesus and by doing that my faith grows. How can I not be thankful for what life has brought to me because everything I experience brings me closer to God. That is the hope I have. That is the promise I have.

I am blessed and I pray I can be a blessing.

Amen
 
Good morning and good blessings today.

I wonder would I take the place of Jesus on the cross. Would I be the one to give up my life for all sinners? That is a tough one because I would not hesitate when it comes to my children. But could I do it for a stranger. I would have to say no at this time in my life I don't think I could do that for someone I don't know. I hope that I can become more like Christ but I have a long way to go.

He did give his life for all mankind and he did struggle in the garden but he knew why he was sent to this earth. For that gift I give my life to him. I belong to him completely and whole heartedly.

My prayer is that we all find out more about a man who died for us and ask who would do this for me Amen.
 
Our prayers go up to him like a sweet smelling perfume and he hears us each time we come before him. Christ the intercessor is right there with us when we enter the holy of holies. Yes we do enter the throne room when we pray and one of the reasons Jesus became man was so that he could understand what we feel. He knows what it is to hurt and to struggle. He knows what it is to be happy. He became human for us.

Now that is worth rejoicing over. That's how much he loves us.He can now be our support when we go before God with our prayer requests. Praise God and lift up his name on high. He is worthy of all praise. Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord.

Praise him today and every day Amen.
 
I have been so busy all day but didn't want to forget this thread. Lord thank you for a beautiful day and for life Amen.
 
I'm at Psalms now. God Bless Everyone. :sunny:
I love the psalms. They are just so encouraging. I think it is so wonderful that you are reading and I know you are growing because of it God bless you also and again thank you for allowing me to be able to share my thoughts and scripture.

Be a light in a dark place. Let your light shine for those around you to glorify the Lord and to bring his light to overcome the darkness Amen
 
Each day I say how thankful I am and how blessed I am and you know what it's true. I'm not saying my life doesn't have some bumps in the road but a lot of these bumps are caused by me. I sometimes worry unnecessarily and then worrying leads to fear and so on.

But when I look around me I am so grateful and I owe it all to Jesus because he provides all my needs. I have lost my job before, I have had terrible heartache, I have lost loved ones but through all this I am so blessed because I see what lies ahead for me. I know my future.

In this life you shall have many trials but he has overcome this life. Now that's the bigest blessing anyone could have.

Take the time to spend with Jesus. He can be your best friend and your bigest fan.
 
Lord I ask that you spread your wings and protect your people. We all call on you and look to you for answers. Answer our needs today and lift us up. And we will praise you in everything that you do and glorify your name because you are worthy of all praise and glory Amen.
 
You know when you are having a bad day just have church.
When you feel like there's no tomorrow just have church
When you feel overwhelmed with life just have church.
When you are so blessed you just want to tell the world just have church.

Put on some praise music, get your Bible and just have church. We don't need to go to a building to have church. We just need to go to the temple of God Amen.

Watch and see what happens after you have church. You will definitely have peace.

Have church today. Right where you are. Praise God.
 
Psalm 3
A Psalm of David. When he fled from Absalom his son.
1LORD, HOW they are increased who trouble me! Many are they who rise up against me.
2Many are saying of me, There is no help for him in God. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!

3But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, my glory, and the lifter of my head.

4With my voice I cry to the Lord, and He hears and answers me out of His holy hill. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!

5I lay down and slept; I wakened again, for the Lord sustains me.

6I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people who have set themselves against me round about.

7Arise, O Lord; save me, O my God! For You have struck all my enemies on the cheek; You have broken the teeth of the ungodly.

8Salvation belongs to the Lord; May Your blessing be upon Your people. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!
 
I have had a very busy morning. Thank you Lord for all the time I have to be able to do what needs to be done and thank you for letting me stop and take the time to be with you Amen.

Thank you for the kind words :) I don't think I have ever actually seen the movie but I know I have heard about it. At this time of year I will watch the Passion of the Christ again.

You know we are now at the place in the story of Jesus where he is in the city for the passover and he will be brought before Pilate. Tomorrow is the day when Christ rode into Jerusalem on a donkey and palm branches were placed on the ground.

I hope we all think about what this week means to a Christian and how it changed the world Amen.
 
Good morning to all the guests viewing today and I pray you all have a blessed day. I lift up the name of Jesus and praise and worship him. He is worthy of all praise and honor.

All this week I will think of that time in Jerusalem over 2000 years ago and try and be there with the people watching what's going on. There is a song by Ray Boltz called At the foot of the cross and I cry every time I hear it because I can only imagine how it would have felt to be there.

Let's all remember the Cross and what it means.Amen

At The Foot Of The Cross

They were watching from a distance
And they could not
Take their eyes from You
You were bleeding
They were weeping
Faithful sisters, they had followed you
They did not understand
They could not see
They were mourning their loss
As the sky turned black
And the Earth turned red
At the foot of the cross

He was standing near your mother
They were so close
They could hear you sighing
All around them angry voices
Pierced the darkness
And you were dying
But they would not leave
They lingered there
No matter the cost
They were staying
And they were praying
At the foot of the cross

CHORUS:
Keep me near the cross
Near the cross
May I never stray so far
That I cannot see
What flowed down for me
At the foot of the cross

Now Im standing in your presence
And I cannot take my eyes from you
You have risen Im forgiven
Precious Saviour, oh I worship you
No Im not looking back
Ive heard your voice
And Im staying here
Ive made my choice
For now its real, now I kneel
At the foot of the cross
 
What do you think is on Christ's mind today? I try and put myself in his place. What was coming. What a time he must have been having knowing what was going to happen.

Thank you Lord for your gift Amen.
