Paul’s command in 1 Thessalonians 5:17 to “pray without ceasing,” can be confusing. Paul is referring to an attitude of God-consciousness and God-surrender that we carry with us all the time. Every waking moment is to be lived in an awareness that God is with us and that He is actively involved and engaged in our thoughts and actions. When our thoughts turn to worry, fear, discouragement, and anger, we are to consciously and quickly turn every thought into prayer and every prayer into thanksgiving. In his letter to the Philippians, Paul commands us to stop being anxious and instead, “In everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God that surpasses all understanding shall keep...

Heavenly Father, thank you for the peace of Jerusalem, and all who love Jerusalem shall prosper and be secure (Ps 122:6). Thank you that you bless those who bless Abraham and his descendants, and curse those who curse him. (Gen 12:3). Thank you that you were a wall of fire around Jerusalem last weekend (Zech 2:5) Gen 12:2 I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you; and all the families of the earth will be blessed through you.” Zech 2:8 For this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “After His Glory has sent Mea against the nations that have plundered you—for whoever touches you touches the apple of...

Those who believe, those who trust, those who wait for the Lord for blessings, help, grace and receive mercy and love because they have believed and trusted His word. Breath upon me breath of God. Breath upon me Spirit of the Lord. As I lift my hands in surrender, To Your name most High. I am yielding to Your Spirit. I am walking in Your love. Jesus I adore. O Jesus I really adore Your holy name. There fell upon me a dream, a heavenly dream coming down from the presence of God. Amid the silence of His love and care He said, I have loved you with an everlasting love. I care for you. I believe, I trust, I wait for Him to fill us with His love, mercy and care. All of us, the redeemed of the Lord shall be filled with His...

Lepers came to Him, the blind and the lame asked for mercy. Jesus never ever ignored anyone. With full of mercy and compassion all kinds of sickness from suffering people were healed. God is merciful and kind to those who believe, trust and wait for Him. Let us all praise and glorify His holy name right now and forever more. Amen Sometimes we bend ourselves out of shape that we look out in the mirror and cannot believe what we see. The wrinkles, the skinny body, the shaking. Then when pain comes to our heart, we call on the Lord to turn our eyes on Him alone. God will never ever age like we do right now. God will never tire of helping us. Our dear Lord will ever ever help us. Till we reach our eternal home in glory...

James 5:16 (KJV): The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. James 5:16 (NLT): The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results. Prayer Focus: God, I ask You in Jesus' name to cover my family, my friends, the writer of this prayer, and myself in the prayers of the righteous. Jesus help, deliver, heal, and strengthen each of us to live a righteous prayerful life. So that we will have greater access to the heart, ears, and hands of God. Thank You, Jesus. Amen, so be it by faith, and by faith, it is so. When You Think Of Me, Please Pray For Me, Encourager Linda Flagg, M.A., B.S., BCPCLC Board Certified Professional Christian Life Coach

For You alone o Lord are great and worthy of all praise. You sent us here to earth to be a light that shines in a dark world. Make us all Thine very own. For our human mind cannot understand the greatness of God, the deep love He has for us and the eternal purpose for our existence on earth. We cannot begin to understand how He created the world and everything that is in it. All we can do is to start singing praises to His name for choosing us to be His very own. I sing praises to Your name o Lord. For Your name is great and greatly to be praised. As for me and the promise I made to God, I shall continue to sing, honor and praise the name of the Lord now and forever more. Amen

Let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armour of light.- Romans 13:12 New International Version - UK I was so excited to put on my new for the first time, but after just a few hours I wanted to throw them away. My eyes ached and head throbbed from adjusting to the new prescription. My ears were sore from the unfamiliar frames. The next day I groaned when I remembered I had to wear them. I had to repeatedly choose to use my each day in order for my body to adjust. It took several weeks, but after that, I hardly noticed I was wearing them. Putting on something new requires an adjustment, but over time we grow into it, and it suits us better. We may even see things we didn’t see before. In Romans 13, the apostle Paul...
