WISDOM NUGGET FOR TODAY
Have you ever heard the phrase "paralysis by analysis"? It's when somebody is thinking over their next move in life so carefully and meticulously that they do nothing at all, thus remaining paralyzed to their opportunities and potential. Well, I've come up with a new phrase... it's called "amputation by calculation.โ This is when you try to calculate how much of your life you can give to God while still keeping portions for yourself, thus cutting off the flow of Godโs Grace to those areas of your life.
Give it ALL to God and He can bless it!
Almighty God, we make petition this morning and stand in the gap for Your people. Lord, You are the possessor of our souls, the master of life and death; therefore we turn to You in an acceptable time. Hear us, for Your lovingkindness is good: turn unto us according to the multitude of Your tender mercies. Dear Lord, we plead the blood of Jesus this morning, and pray for an hedge of protection about Your people. Bless, O Lord, the faint of heart; and give them the courage to persevere, knowing that no weapon formed against them shall be able to prosper. Bless marriages today; bless those who are sick and shut in; Bless, today Lord, all who may be experiencing lack in any area of their lives.
Heavenly Father, You are the Alpha and Omega. The one and only true God and father of all, who is above all, and through all and in all. You are our everlasting strength. In You alone we trust. We are thankful for the many blessings that You have given us this week and look forward to the new day ahead. We recognize that regardless of all the evil going on in the world today, we are exactly where we are meant to be. May we be content with where we are for we know the Holy Spirit is here to teach us. Guide, protect and lead us along the best path to You. Help us today to smile, cherish the little things in life, and love others as You love them. In Jesus name we pray, amen...
Heavenly Father, We thank You for being there for us in these trying times. It is in times like this, when the whole world seems to be raging You speak to our hearts and say, don't give up my child I will hold Your hand and see You through. Today I ask that You would give strength to those who are weary and are fighting this battle alone and feel like they won't make it. Increase their strength and their faith when they're feeling weak. Eliminate any fear they may have, touch their hearts, and give them the assurance that better days are just ahead. Let Your face shine on all of us today with Your anointing and favor, as the Holy Spirit continues to lead our way. In Jesus name we pray, amen...
