Daily Dose of Hope

'Let all that I am wait quietly before God, 

     for my hope is in him.' Psalm 62:5 (NLT)

 Yes I do. Every morning I come to You Lord for what I know that You will provide. My daily dose of hope. You have saved me in the past and I have grown more and more dependent on You for that salvation now. I am tired. I am weak. When I turn to You in prayer, it is there that I find my rest and You make stronger my faith and hope. In You alone will I trust and obey. You have all of me and my hope still remains in You.

 Dear Father
Thank you for Your Word that always refreshes me. Thank you for Your presence that always brings me peace. I turn to You during my quiet times. I turn to You during the storms. I turn to You in all times in between for You are always there to lighten my load.

You are always there, ready to restore me in every way. I can't hold back. I cannot be distracted. You are my health. I am nothing without You. I am rich beyond measure because you have adopted me into Your family. I am nothing without You. You have taught me the wisdom of Your ways. I am nothing without You. 

During the hustle and the bustle and the loud chatter from the world around me, I can be at peace and wait quietly before You. Though the world is foolish and offers another way, You have made Sabbath for me. Though my body may struggle my soul knows where to find You. I must find You for myself with Your Spirit as a guide as You have commanded. Holy Spirit guide me now. 

You have made me for You. I must wait for You for my soul needs to rest to know You. I was created for praise. I was put in this place for the loud cymbal crashes. Between each moment of worship there is a pause, there is a space, there is a rest...then there You are! I worship You in that moment of exultation and in that moment of rest. Thank you for Your Word. Thank you for healing me.  As I wait for You, thank you for always finding me there.
In Jesus's name.
 Amen.

Called Forth to Life

'When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He placed his right hand on me and said, “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last—  the Living One. I was dead and, see, I am alive forever and ever! I also hold the keys of death and hell .' Revelation 1:17-18 (EHV) Dear Father.  Because of You and who You are I do not fear. You are Divine. You are Eternal. You are God. You were here before the world began and will be here at the end. Thank You, Father, for sending Your Son Jesus Christ, the Living One, to die for me. I recognized that I was a sinner and I made Jesus Lord of my life. Though You suffered and died, I know that Jesus lives and that He is my life source. Without Him I am nothing. He has complete authority. He has the power over life and death. He controls not only when I die but where I will go after I die as well.You comfort me with Your Word.  Let me be forever grateful and obey Your Word and live my life for Him. Jesus, You alone hav

Sending Out Invitations to the Concert

'We are confident that God is able to orchestrate everything to work toward something good and beautiful when we love Him and accept His invitation to live according to His plan. ' Romans 8:28 (VOICE) One example of God's love can be seen in the book of Esther. Lessons from the Bible can reassure us of God's love for us and they show us that His ways are good and so much higher than our own. How powerful. In Chapter three, the evil ideas of Haman, to have all the Jews exterminated, had been decreed by the king, and the money set aside in an account for the diabolical deeds and the date was set on the calendar for the bloodshed! That part is so incredible, that one man was given that much power. Just imagine it if you were a Jew. The date for the destruction of your entire race was set and the preparations to follow through with it were being made. Thankfully, our God is greater. Our God is able. He is able to confuse the bad plans of men in power. O

  ' Then Nebuchadnezzar was furious with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and his attitude toward them changed. He ordered the furnace heated seven times hotter than usual' Daniel 3:19 (NIV) To the leaders that are unprepared for the likes of young people full of passion. For the wicked rulers who demand men to bow a knee to them, and worship them like gods. To the world that has lost its way and punishes the faithful to the extreme, even death. We pray for thee. Let the world know that we worship no one but the One True God. Amen. Dear Father We pray for evil leaders that desire to turn their nation into evil. We lift up righteousness and righteous leaders, we lift You up. You are the One True God in whom we serve. You are the Holy God in whom we believe. You provide the God-fearing leaders that we need when we need them. We pray for those leaders. We pray for more people with courage to refuse to bow the knee to mere man. Even when we live in times when there seem
