Jeremiah 29:11-13 NIV

"11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."

I love these verses.  Hope you all are encouraged as we start this new week.  God bless.

Words to live by

Isa 43:1	But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called [thee] by thy name; thou [art] mine.
Isa 43:2	When thou passest through the waters, I [will be] with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

I Timothy 2:8

"I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting."


Pray without wrath and doubting.  What does that mean exactly?  We must have faith when we pray.  If we don't believe that God will answer our prayers then they are useless.  Also, we must not give in to anger.  We must forgive and let God's love flow through us.  We are one body and we must not let anger and quarrels tear us apart. We need His Spirit to empower us to do these things. 

I pray you all have a blessed week.
