Happy Friday.

Daily Prayer for April 19 CHRISTOPH FRIEDRICH BLUMHARDT “And in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ give thanks every day for everything to our God and Father. Ephesians 5:20, NEB Dear Father in heaven, accept our thanks today for all you allow us to learn and to receive from you. Help us, your children, to follow the Savior with a right spirit and with true understanding. Protect us from evil, from all the works of Satan. In our generation may we experience your rulership and your wonders. In the name of Jesus we pray, reveal yourself with power. May your will be done on earth as in heaven, that all may realize they are in your hands and that it is your will to set everything right. Be with us this night. Bless and strengthen us for all the work entrusted to us. “Amen

Another night that I have barely slept. I prayed to sleep, yet just a few cat naps were all I was given. It is hard to be grateful, when are prayers seem to fall on deaf ears. Yet, I know God heard my prayers.



This night has not been wasted I sang praises to God in my thoughts and reminded myself of the wonderous attributes of my Heavenly Father. Even we cannot sleep we can rest in God’s love.



Eventually, I will fall asleep and probably sleep into the afternoon. I have to remind myself that it's okay. I have no place to go today.



So many times we have to trust God when we do not understand the reasons why He allows things to happen. It is not our job to analyze God, but to trust in Him in all situations.



Pray for the people in Israel. Pray for lost souls.

Maranatha,

Betty

We Need Wisdom



“Promise #112:

Ask Me for wisdom and I will generously give it to you.



James 1:5 (WEB)

But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God,

who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him.”



We need wisdom from God today. We are bombarded by evil on every side. We need wisdom to separate lies from truth. God wants to give us wisdom. We only need to ask God.



Pray for the people of Israel. Pray for lost souls.

Maranatha,

Betty

Be Careful, That We Do Not Worship Our Work, Instead of God



1 Corinthians 3:9

New International Version

9 For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.



When our work for God becomes more important to us than worshipping God we are in danger. Our work will become a weight around our necks and we can become spiritually crushed.



This will allow resentment to form in our hearts and minds. This can lead to anger against God and others. Our work will soon become unblessed by God and it will show in our work.



First and foremost we should worship God with all our hearts. Then we work for God because we love Him, and not out of obligation. There may be days that we are not in a mindset to do our work. There may be times when we have to take a break from our work and rest our minds.



Always pray for guidance and seek God’s will before you start your preparation for your work. Pleasing God should always be the purpose for doing any work for our Heavenly Father.



Pray for the people of Israel. Pray for lost souls.

Maranatha,

Betty

Call Out To God



Today, I went on Yahoo. I read about all the hate being blasted at Israel by College Professors and Students. The anti-Israel comments on the internet upset me so much, that my hands are still shaking.



Yet, God warned us these days would come. He said in the last days the world would turn on Israel. Still, it breaks my heart. To see American women stand up and say they are Hamas. They are so ignorant.



Hamas rapped and killed young women who were just enjoying a music festival. They killed, old people, families, and young people. They took even babies as hostages and are still holding these babies as hostages. Yet American College Students are saying proudly that they are Hamas.



What are these Colleges and Universities teaching are children? The students say they are not anti-semitic. When you say you are Hamas you are saying hatred against Jews. Hamas have said time and time again that they want Israel wiped off the map. God help this world!



Pray for the people of Israel. Pray for lost souls.

Maranatha,

Betty

Precious In His Sight



Isaiah 43:4 ESV /

Because you are precious in my eyes, and honored, and I love you, I give men in return for you, peoples in exchange for your life.

Psalm 116:15 ESV /

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.

1 Peter 2:9 ESV

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

1 John 3:1 ESV /

See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.



When we are physically, emotionally, or mentally ill, we tend to run from God, instead of to God. Just as a child flees from taking medication, we flee from the one who can heal us.



We also tend to hide from others when we need people the most. Especially God-fearing people who could encourage us and pray for us.

It is embarrassing to admit that we are weak and we do not have it altogether.



The truth is that no one has it all together. Sometimes it is not embarrassment that causes us to curl up and hide. We do not want to be a burden to others. Everyone has their share of troubles and we do not want to add to other’s burdens.



God help us to know when to speak up. God help us to always RUN to Him.

Pray for the people of Israel. Pray for lost souls.

Maranatha,

Betty

Happy Wednesday,

Daily Prayer for May 1 CHRISTOPH FRIEDRICH BLUMHARDT “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.” Jeremiah 29:11, NIV “Lord Jesus, we look to you on the throne beside your Father in heaven and ask that you be Lord of peace in our hearts. Help us to overcome ourselves again and again and to remain at peace. Then your will may be done in your disciples, a power of peace may be around us that goes out into the whole world, and your name may be glorified on earth. For you are Lord of peace, and we await you. In difficult times faith and hope will take hold in our hearts all the more firmly, to your glory, Lord Jesus. For you will suddenly come according to your promise as the One who does God’s will on earth among all people. “Amen

All you have to do is turn on the television or the radio and you will see this world is filled with hate, violence, and anger. Come to Jesus and seek His perfect peace.



Pray for the people of Israel. Pray for our College students. Pray for lost souls.

Maranatha,

Betty
