Make Me your focal point as you move through this day. Just as a spinning ballerina must keep returning her eyes to a given point to maintain her balance, so you must keep returning your focus to Me. Circumstances are in flux, and the world seems to be whirling around you. The only way to keep your balance is to fix your eyes on Me, the One who never changes. If you gaze too long at your circumstances, you will become dizzy and confused. Look to Me, refreshing yourself in My Presence, and your steps will be steady and sure.
Hebrews 12:2
English Standard Version
looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
Psalm 102:27
English Standard Version
But You are the same,
And Your years will not come to an end.
My Prayer
Lord, hear my prayer. Listen to my words of groaning. I need you every moment. I need you to work in my life and in the lives of my family members. You are the worker of all things good in our lives. I cannot will them to act, but you Lord, can stir in them a desire to glorify you through their words and deeds.
Lord, I am living my life the best I know how; trying to be sensitive to you, but as my children are now out of our home, they are not near to my guidance when they were young and reaching up their hands to mine, crying out for help. It is hard as a parent to transition to them being on their own, but I want to trust You for their lives continually. Help them to remember only the good of my parenting and to make you their focal point throughout each day. Show them the unrest and dissatisfaction when they seek help from places outside of You.

Hello! Hope your kids are doing better in their walk with the lord! Any testimony over the past three years?
ReplyDeleteWell - 2 out of 3 are following the Lord. My oldest 2 are committed followers. My daughter is married now to a wonderful Christian man. My oldest is active in BSF and men’s bible studies as well. My youngest is 17 and needs the Lord. He beats to his own drum so we keep praying Ezekiel 36:26 for him. Thanks for asking.
DeleteI wondered too Chris. Thank you for updating. You've proven Our Lord to be faithful in bringing your 2 children around. The 3rd will follow suit Chris. With a prayer warrior for a father this one doesn't stand a chance! I will pray that He continues to strengthen your resolve as you wait. You will be blessed for your strong faith.

DeleteThank you Chris Payton, for today’s prayer, though written a few years ago, it is my prayer today and each day for my 4 grown kids and now for my 8 grandkids. I echo your prayers : may the “Lord, stir in them a desire to glorify you through their words and deeds” and “ trust You for their lives continually” Amen 🙏🏼 May our Lord continue to bless you and your family and all those who follow this blog. Love in Christ - Zen from Cali
Thank you for bringing this prayer again to the forefront today. Joining you in praying over our children and families for an encounter with God that shows them their need for salvation through Jesus Christ.
DeleteDear LORD, please hear my cry and plea for YOUR comfort for my beloved E’s family as they move through the next 2 days and beyond as they mourn the loss of their loved one, Who so LOVED YOU. LORD YOUR living word states that “your years will not come to an end” but our loved one is gone, so I know, based on YOUR word and promises that the loved one we lost here on earth is Most certainly with YOU, for his years have not come to an end but rather has moved on to be with YOU in order to fulfill YOUR Will for him🙏💞 so please fill the minds and hearts of all those that were closest to him to know our loved one is only not seen here in this worldly realm but is in fact in an even more glorious place: heaven, with YOU, where he no longer suffers and can be called upon through YOU, for he is at YOUR side. I lift my beloved E & his family Up to YOU today and forevermore. Bless E’s family with YOUR HOLY SPIRIT, so they too are as close to YOU as humanly possible while still in this world. LORD pour YOUR love upon them all and help them always remember YOUR promises: we will see our loved one again🙏
DeleteIn YOUR son’s name JESUS CHRIST I PRAY
AMEN🙏❤️
May His blessings fall upon and comfort you and your loved ones during this time of earthly sorrow.
DeleteKeep our eyes up and our hearts, ears and eyes open to our loving and mighty Lord.
DeleteLove, prayers and blessings
🙏🌸🩵🙌🏼

When I was 17, I was the same way. I’m 18 now and the Lord has changed my life. Keep praying for your son, I am sure Jesus is working in him. May he realize how sweet a life following the Lord is. God bless you and your family!
ReplyDeleteI loved today's devotion, especially the dancer analogy which I can relate to from past years. So true. I also loved hearing an update on your family (thank you for asking "One")! All 5 of mine are grown but when I looked up Ezekiel 36:26, it gave me a new prayer for my own offspring. My sister goes to BSF in OH! I will have to look into that again...it keeps coming to mind for me. Thank you for this blog. Every now and then I hit a day where there isn't one and I miss it; it's my favorite. Your honesty and pureness of heart in your prayers encourages me to dig a little deeper in my own life. Though I turned my heart to the Lord over 50 years ago, I still have days that I walk as a new-born babe in the Word; forgetting to put His Word first. "Madison," it encouraged me to hear a young person's perspective. God Bless all of you, Peyton Family and those reading this site. Today is a new, fresh 24 hours that we can commit to Him. God Bless!!
ReplyDeleteOn the days where there doesn't seem to be one just go to a different one and change the web address slightly to today's date. Or, change your search to more specific parameters/description for this blog. Google doesn't always return the search every day I've noticed, too...but there should be one for every day. Godspeed!
DeleteI've found if I search "bible tags" and the date, google will return the link to Chris's blog.
DeleteI have this link bookmarked on my computer, so that I can open it easily and then click on the correct date: https://bibletags.blogspot.com/2019/06/jesus-calling-366-days.html
DeleteGod Bless!
Praying for those in my family that are not yet saved. Ezekiel 36:26 is just what I needed! Thank you.
DeleteA new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
Beautiful scripture with a powerful promise. Claiming this for my daughter who struggles to make her way back to communicating with our family and reclaiming her "First Love". Thank you for sharing.
DeleteI read this faithfully before my feet hit the floor every day. I am so grateful for this blog, but know that my "paper " copy is on my nightstand as well! ! Perfect analogy of a ballerina. .which I seem to be too often. God, thank you for your honesty, your love, and your never failing devotion
ReplyDeleteI could definitely relate to this yesterday!... "If you gaze too long at your circumstances, you will become dizzy and confused" ......My wife helped me throught this (she is one of God's greatest gifts to me!). Jesus I Trust In You!
ReplyDeleteI too have a huge challenge of keeping my eyes on the Lord throughout the day. I get so busy with my business of life I end up getting to the end of the day and ask myself Why didn't I take a time out here and there to honor or even acknowledge God. If I'm with Believers we talk about God or we pray together over lunch or if there's a specific reason to pray but it's the keeping my eyes on him that is such an ongoing challenge. I know that I know that I know that God will give me peace when I turn to him but when I get caught up in that hectic day which seems to be almost every day I simply forget.

Well stated RiseUp! Describes so many of us..I have been making a conscious effort to take note, observe, feel God's creation of Nature around me at times during the activities of the day: birds chirping, beautiful sunrise or cloud contrast, flowers in bloom, etc. It's a small undertaking on my part but it brings me back to 'Center' or Focus.
DeleteThis is where my mornings start! I'm so grateful for the blog and prayer warriors who encourage and strengthen my desire to be more fully conscious of God and Jesus caring for me each moment through the power of the Holy Spirit!❤️🙏
Delete♥️
DeleteThank you thank you thank you. I start my devotions each day with your blog. If you are having trouble finding the site do Bible tag Jesus Calling the date. Most of the time if I search Jesus calling the date and blog I'm able to locate this website
ReplyDeleteI so relate to your blog. I truly understand... The banker concept. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHi there ... I appreciate your blog spot. However, I've just noticed a typo in the last sentence of the prayer: 'the' should be 'they'. And the Bible reference in Sarah's book is Psalm 102:27, not v.17.
ReplyDeleteAlso, may I suggest that Sarah's other Bible reference, 1 John 3:19-20 be included? Thank you and God bless.
Thank you. I changed the Psalm reference and the correction in my prayer. My book doesn't have I John 3:19-20 as a reference. Do you have a later edition maybe?
DeleteWith all due respect let's try to stay focused on the message. The typos or not what should I have stood out the most and taking up any part of the conversation. Maybe it would help if you would pray before your reading asking the the Lord to allow the holy Spirit to have control over your mind so that you may discern what is intended, and receive the message that is intended, rebuking all distractions and negative influences.
DeleteLord thank you for this JC community. I'm sure paytonfamily Chris had no idea what glorious plan you had when he started this blog. I had never been on a blog sight until I found this. I believe it was when my daughter was in the trauma ICU unit and I would go up to talk to doctors or to see her. Even though most of the time she was intubated and sedated. That was a very long month and I needed to draw all the strength from the Lord that I could. That was 21 months ago, the day I called 911 and put my grandchildren in my car as they took my daughter to the hospital. Like paytonfamily I had no idea what glorious plan God had. In writing glorious I hesitate because I know Gods plans are perfect, but it has been a very emotional, and physically draining and rewarding 21 months. Having the children with us has given them a chance to grow up loved and learning about God. We had no idea what their lives were really like and I'm so thankful for their safety and healing from so much as my granddaughter says "trauma". I'm so thankful for this blog and the sincere prayers from everyone who is drawn here. The Lord just put it on my heart to petition all of us to commit to pray for the paytonfamilies youngest son and for divine wisdom as they parent him. Please pray for him daily and share in the excitement and joy as God works in his life. I've learned if a thought comes to you and it's not something your flesh would do on it's own and it's not contrary to the word of God, It's probably the Holy Spirit speaking into you. It's sure not the enemy if it glorifies God and furthers his kingdom. So, please join me in a commitment to lift this young man up so he can become who God has called him to be. Praying for all the needs of the JC family and for all of us to walk today as thou Jesus was walking with us, because he is. Your sister in Christ, TERRI
ReplyDeleteI agree we all need to pray for the youngest Peyton. I have shared here a few times. I lost my 22 year old daughter on December 30, 2017. It feels like yesterday. I am grateful she knew Christ and is with Him today. Her journey was not easy. I continue to ask for prayer. I also lost my job yesterday. I prayed for an hour before the meeting....I felt the angels with me. I know God has a plan. The unknown is hard as a single parent. I pray that I can take this time to truly mourn the death of my daughter and prepare myself for God's plan. I will be praying for this blog and all who share. God bless you all. TL
ReplyDeleteFather in heaven I petition you to first comfort TL for this deep loss. For those days that the memory of it becomes fresh again, be ever so present oh Holy Spirit to hold TL tightly with your everlasting arms. Open the doors of opportunity as you pick the right job. Your plans are perfect. Be blessed TL🥰
DeleteDear TL, so sorry for the loss of your precious daughter and now your job. I lost my job this Mar after 15 years of service. I believe God is asking me to rest a bit and it is quite difficult as my routine is so foreign now. Today's devo is spot on. I just speak the name of Jesus when I feel absolutely lost and out of control. Then He centers me once again. I pray you will take the time to process the grief and sweet memories of your girl, trusting God will provide and protect you as you journey. I guess it's just so counterintuitive for us to believe God loves us so much He would carve out specific time for us to grieve and process. Let's trust together that He has and that His future grace is just around the corner in regards to our new jobs. God bless. Colorado JC Friend
DeletePraying for you dear TL. The loss of a child must be so devastating. My heart goes out to you. God knows the pain in your heart. I pray you found a better job. God knows your needs better than you do. May He continue to comfort and guide you. You will be with you daughter again. She loved the Lord and He loves her still.
DeleteI ca relate most to your youngest son. Sometimes folks are given a roadmap of life, IE genetics that predisposition them to certain elements of certain journeys. Everyone's journey is different and everyone's cross is different, and the one that is characteristic of your son seems to be one that I personally have dealt with. Today is day 16 for me I am in celebrate recovery and doing well and will obtain a 30-day chip in a couple weeks right at my 34th birthday. The struggle is real but Jesus Christ is the answer!
ReplyDeleteWatching Fox & Friends for today's date and they're talking about how the Trump Administration is dealing with this issue. I am also on my way to the VA as this is where I am doing a 30-day outpatient session. Even though it's only 30 days I plan on going indefinitely and expect that they'll eventually hire me because of my never-ending presence there LOL.
Praise God! Be sure to let us know once that chip is in hand! God bless you!
DeleteWill do.
DeleteAnonymous--absolutely ecstatic about your progrss! Please keep updating. It is so encouraging! Nothing is too hard for our marvelous wonder working Jesus!
DeleteSending healing and loving prayers to the JC family. Extra special prayers for Anonymous. God is so good. Keep up the great job and yes, please let us know when you have that chip in hand. Thank you Chris Payton for starting the glorious blog. Praying for our Lord to fill your youngest son’s heart and to surround him, you and your family with his perfect love. Prayers for our Loving Father to comfort and hold TL close during this grieving process. Special prayers for Terri and your family for Gods continued healing and love to shine in your home and hearts. Chris, Jan, Colorado friend, Norah and Mad Fox thank you for your loving spirit and prayers! God shines so beautifully through each of you! God bless you all!
ReplyDeleteI love this blog! My Jesus Calling book is a treasure, this blog and each of you make our journey to be more like Christ deeper and such a blessing. I am waiting in test results from my Dr visit last week. The pain I’ve been experiencing has made it very hard for me to work as much as I need to. I know God is right here yet I’ve found myself feeling scared about the results, our finances and the bills we don’t have money to cover. Lord I thank you for always loving us, for providing and taking such good care of us even when we don’t deserve it! God is love and he holds us all in his loving arms.
Many Blessings to our JC family 🥰
Texas friend
I missed this last year. Thanks for the kind words. I think all those mentioned and others are here because as I've said before... just Faith, Scripture, prayers, and related comments. no judgment zone and no non-related topics. A true community of being prayerful and positive!
DeleteUnkown--can really identify with your feelings of the pain you are experiencing and all that it brings with it. I will go boldly to the throne of grace and pray these scritures over you.Ps.30:2 "O Lord my God,I cried unto Thee, and Thou hast healed me." Ps. 34:19 "Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all." The Lord is faithful to his word. Bless you richly!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much JJ for your prayers. Praying for you as well.
DeleteI am receiving your prayers with such joy!!! Thank you, thank you!!! There is a great movement of the Lord upon us!!!
DeleteReading JC tonight in my late evening prayer time and I literally chuckled aloud! "Circumstances are in flux, and the world seems to be whirling around you." Yes, covid19 and the quaratine is dizzying, indeed!
ReplyDelete"The only way to keep your balance is to fix your eyes on Me" Yes, our eyes are looking to you Jesus! As we have been saying for weeks, the daily devo fits the current pandemic situation and creates an opportunity to see God's hand working in the chaos. Praying, still, for a rapid resolution that isn't expected, but shows God's hand at work... perhaps it will be that millions have already had it and so the death rate becomes similar to the flu. In Him, Amen.
First, I must thank Chris Payton for starting this wonderful blog and giving me my JC Family. I have read it for years but only just recently joined it on my computer. Sarah's devo and all of your comments are such a blessing, comfort and refreshment to my soul. MadFox, I was thinking the same thing when I read those words. As if they were written for this challenging time. We are reading the book of Esther in our Bible Group. I'm having a hard time leading it in this lockdown but we are all reading on and doing the best we can. Through the book of Esther, God's invisible Hand guides everything according to His Will and His Plan. Well I see His invisible Hand right now, guiding the way people are changing within. They are becoming courageous to save others, and generous in their lovingkindness towards one another, and thankfully, so many are now looking up from where their help cometh. I don't know how things will go but I trust God already knows, and His end with be the best for all of us. Although we are all losing loved ones, we must be comforted that they are in a better place, and we must wait patiently on the Lord.
DeleteI wonder sometimes if a lot of us maybe have had the covid-19. I remember my daughter, my grandsons, and I had this terrible cough/congestion back in December having breathing issues running humidifier 24/7. It was a scary dizzy feeling mainly more concerned for our little Jairo. By the grace of God, we survived and healed. Our stay in place order has helped; we have been still, praying more, and resting in Jesus. Our city is talking about opening up and I feel dizzy, afraid. Jesus I trust in you; help me to stay focused in you. Thank you Lord for holding my hand and guiding me.
ReplyDeleteJesus is bigger than any problem facing us today. Thank You for Your everlasting presence and promises.
ReplyDeleteAmen Sassy Mom. That He is so much greater than he that is in the world, is my reassurance that all will be well. We rest in His presence and on His promises.
DeleteAmen Amen
DeletePrayers for our JC family and for the world
Glory be to God
Love and prayers friends🙏💖🙏
There are still many people suffering from Covid and losing loved ones. So we will continue to pray for them, and urge those who are undecided about getting vaccinated to "Just Do It". My older brother doesn't want to get it and we are respecting his decision but we're not happy about it. And my dear Mom misses him.
DeleteThank you for posting Jesus Calling in your blog. We have purchased the book many times but sometimes we found ourselves without the book and it is nice to look it up on the phone. This is how my wife and I start our day. So thank you very much
ReplyDeleteThank you Payton family.Ive been using this blog for a year now and it has been such a blessing in my life.I have shared it with several others.I almost feel as if i know Maplewood,madfox,sassymom and Nora..You all have helped me with your willingness to share your stories and prayers..One of my clients shared this blog with me and she is of another religion and still benefits from it..I pray that she recieves our christ some day.Just wanted you all to know how much your blog and posts are touching people's lives..Thank you!
ReplyDeleteYou do know us...as we honestly share thoughts and prayers in a non-judgemental atmosphere. FYI, many use pseudonyms/pen names. this allows one to be more transparent and honest with regards to family or work situations to share lessons learned without creating potential problems. In my case, I've openly discussed addiction issues which would be inappropriate should persons then be able to discover their names/situations.
DeleteAll that to say, when we are "home", I will have many JC friends who know me as Madfox... and my family and friends, will know how the pen name came about and be shocked at all my friends here!
Madfox--- That will be quite the day when all of the JC WARRIORS meet at "home". I bet we ALL talk for at least 10,000 years to start with, and that is just introductions! So appreciate everyone's honesty and sharing. MadFox(love the name) you are a blessing when you share your wisdom and your succinct verbage--always to the point! THANK YOU JC WARRIORS for all yours posts and prayers and THANK YOU for those that read and pray. Such an INCREDIBLE group of WARRIORS for the Lord!
DeleteLord, send unusual BLESSINGS to each JC WARRIOR today!
Thanks for the affirmation of this blog, Unknown. We post to the glory of God. Where God takes it and to whom He takes it is entirely up to Him. We are all just glad to be used by Him.
DeleteSweet sweet JJ.... and our sweet Norah. too! she has had that adjective as well from me, although we all know many sweet ladies posting here. Love the hearts of many who post often... too many to mention.
DeleteI do put thought into what I write here and often edit it first and often, on a notepad app (lost several long posts with accidental back buttons etc.). in Hamlet, Shakespeare said it best... "Brevity is the soul of wit." In my jobs/career, I've had to write many emails, letters, and proposals, it is clear that you can write or say too much and lose people's interest, so yes, my goal is to edit to as few words as possible always.
However, this is NOT criticism of any that post here. My opinion is to what I post. many here post prayers and scripture that are much longer, the writing of a verbal prayer is our only option here and thus can be long. Also, our brother Bob is providing context to a "lesson" and so again, it may be longer out of necessity. Remember a no judgment zone here and I love the Spirit of Christ shown here daily. Until we meet on that great day, with agape love in Christ, Madfox. ❤️🙏
Unknown - Yes!! You do know us. We are one big happy family, comfortable sharing our grief, pain, challenges and VICTORIES.
DeleteAmen Bob.
DeleteHi Unknown, Would you mind clearing up who "our Christ" is?
DeleteI'd appreciate it. I'm just a stranger here who is trying to make sure I am on the correct blog. Thanks and Blessings to all of you.
"One of my clients shared this blog with me and she is of another religion and still benefits from it..I pray that she recieves our christ some day."
Bob, MadFox, Sassy Mom, JJ, and all others who post here, I am so blessed by your words, thoughts and encouragement. We are truly a big happy family as we share the good news and look forward to be together in the Glory land seeing His beautiful countenance and rejoicing together.
DeleteAmen my brothers and sisters!
DeleteThanks Sassy Mom! Praying you are feeling well.
Your words are perfect: We are one big happy family, comforable sharing our grief, pain, challenges and victories!
SATURDAY OF THE SECOND WEEK OF EASTER
ReplyDelete(John 6:16-21) After the feeding of the 5000 and the need to get away from the crowd, Jesus retreated to be alone as He often did when a great feat of divine power had taken place. Before He left us, He asked us to go across the sea to Capernaum and He would meet us there. As the sun was setting, we boarded the boats and began to cross the Sea of Galilee. A sudden storm came up making it difficult on us to the point of concern the winds may capsize our boat. As our fears increased, all of a sudden we looked outside the boat and we saw something on the water. In all our experience of fishing, we had never seen anything like this before. Now we had something more of which to be afraid. "What is this?" As this figure drew closer (and our fears were ever increasing), it spoke to us, "I AM. Do not be afraid." It's Jesus...and...and...He is walking on the water...??? We wanted Him to get into the boat but there was no need because, unbeknownst to us, we had reached the shore. As if the feeding of the 5000 was not enough to put us in a total state of wonder, now this experience in the storm. I have included this incident in my gospel in an effort to help you believe Jesus was and is God-With-Us and of His being omnipotent as only God can be. Yet another occurrence that cannot be explained by the head but can be believed in the heart.
Our JC reading for today uses an excellent analogy to challenge us to stay focused on our Lord. In so doing, we gain confidence in His omnipotence in all circumstances. This story of Jesus walking on the water is included by Matthew, Mark, and John for the same reason. This really happened to the disciples and they told this story because they wanted us to believe in His omnipotence over all. I must confess the many times I have hit crisis, fears filled my thinking as if He had never done anything for me of anyone for that matter. The apostle Paul admonished the believers at Philippi (4:6), to not be anxious about anything but to pray with thanksgiving which serves the purpose of remembering all that our Lord has done in the past. Since He is unchanging, He will do as He has done and will always be doing to the end of the ages. He is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Let us keep focus so we may gain confidence from His all powerful nature.
God be with you! With love, Bob
Thank you for sharing The Word with us Bob and for sharing your loving heart. God bless you today and always
DeleteGod bless our she family
Loving prayers for All
🙏💖🙏
Bob --- Thank you for all that you do for this INCREDIBLE JC FAMILY!
DeleteThanks Bob, and thank you JC Family!
DeleteSometimes God takes us through storms to cleanse us, not drown us! Today I feel more cleansed then drowned. YEAH GOD!
Blessed are they that have not seen and yet believed..thank you Bob for your prayers
DeleteAmen Bob, You draw us near to the Lord He is unchanging and his mercy, love and p;ower are the same always. We stand on that confidence. Hold onto His Unchanging Hand. Loved the replies to your post too.
DeleteAmen, Brilamar, This present storm is cleansing us and not drowning us. The perfect light is at the end of this tunnel. Thank you!
Thanks Bob! We must remember that the God we serve today is the same One who fed the 5,000 and walked on water. We have nothing to fear. He is the very same One who can do all things.
DeleteThis was just beautiful! Thank you Lord for waking me up another beautiful day,in Jesus name amen!
ReplyDeletePsalm 23:
ReplyDelete“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”
Heavenly Father, Thank You for being my Shepherd. I refresh myself in Your Presence, as I keep my eyes fixed on You and make You are my focal point today. I surrender all to You, take over my plans and grant me rest, in Jesus name. Amen.
Blessings and Peace to all.
Maplewood, NJ
Maplewood - AMEN!! Psalm 23 is the same prayer I prayed this morning!!!!!!
DeleteAs always, thanks for your posts, Maplewood, NJ. In a culture where cowboys and cattle are dominate, we have lost understanding of the relationship between sheep and their shepherd. Years ago, W. Phillip Keller wrote a book entitled, 'A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23'. It is a most insightful look at the relationship between a shepherd and the sheep under his care. Keller points out how each verse contains strong imagery about proper treatment of sheep which reflects our Lord's care of us. Keller takes Psalm 23 to a whole new level of appreciating Jesus as the Good Shepherd.
DeleteThanks Bob, I just ordered a copy of that book. We lease land to a guy that has cows here and they definitely know him and run to him when they see his truck drive up, almost stampeding when they hear him rattle the food bucket. Before it gets cold, he has already sent the provisions ahead of the cold that they cannot see, in order to to keep them well nourished, regardless of the grass situation that they can now see. Things that make me go HMMMMM! and think of the bible verse: I know Mine and Mine know Me!
DeleteJust like the cattle farmer, so has God gone ahead of us to keep us well cared for, regardless of the pandemic that our limited eyes are now seeing. God's Love and Favor are being prayed for all of you!
Amen Maplewood, That Psalm always leaves me refreshed, strengthened and renewed. Thank you! Much love to all!
DeleteThanks sweet Maplewood! Sure do lean on Psalm 23 so often and Psalm 1 is another favorite for me.
DeletePraying with you as I lie down to sleep:
I surrender all to You, take over my plans and grant me rest, in Jesus name. Amen.
Bob I have read that book many times...it is now basically completely underlined and highlighted! God bless this family of believers, you bring joy to the world!
DeleteThanks for the book suggestion. I just ordered it on Amazon! I appreciate your help. We are His sheep and well taken care of.
DeleteThank you Maplewood. You are such a blessing

ReplyDeleteAmen!
DeleteBeautiful prayer. Joining right in!! Amen!
DeleteFather, thank You for another blessed day in the world. Hold my hand and walk with me through the day, rejoicing over You and being led by the Holy Spirit. Help me to always keep You first and foremost in my heart, soul, mind, body, and life and when I am distracted from You, bring my eyes back to You. You are so wonderful and amazing Lord. Thank You for all my benefits and blessings and for Your mercy and grace. Thank You for all the good people here on this blog that praise and worship You, pray for one another, and help encourage and lift others up when they are down. You are the healer and miracle worker. You bring all things together for good. Thank You for bringing each one of us here together. Let our faith and love in You be magnified and spread to others. Let us walk our paths according to Your will and ways Lord. Thank You Jesus. I bless and praise You Lord continually and always.
ReplyDeleteAlong with all the good people here on this blog that praise and worship You, pray for one another, and help encourage and lift others up, I'm gathering in and joining my prayer with yours dear Janet. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

ReplyDeleteI shall not want.
He lets me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still and quiet waters.
He refreshes and restores my soul (life); He leads me in the paths of righteousness
for His name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the [sunless] valley of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil, for You are with me;
Your rod [to protect] and Your staff [to guide],they comfort and console me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You have anointed and refreshed my head with oil; My cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life,
And I shall dwell forever [throughout all my days] in the house and in the presence of the Lord (Psalm 23).
Jesus You're all I need
You're all I need
Now I give my life to you alone
You are all I need…..(Hillsong Worship)

Amen Maplewood. Peace be with you.
DeleteThanks again dear Maplewood!
DeleteI'm catching up on posts, though I am current on praying. Really bad storm on Friday night knocked out our internet service all day Saturday. I am able to get back online and I'm reading now.
ReplyDeleteEllen, I am prayerfully thankful to read ... amazed at her scan results. They think it was the chemo but we know it IS God! I prayed JJs prayer for her and imagined her standing before the board in divine health! That’s what they saw!...
I am now praying that on her next visit, they will say "What Tumor?"
Norah, I'm thankful about Jesus' Victory for your Best Man.
Jeanne, I'm thankful about Jesus' Victory with your visit to Grand Littles and Family.
I am thanking God for all other Victories in Jesus' Name. Through all of our major situations and circumstances, our God is Majorest!
I am still reading my printed copy of JJ's prayer everyday. This coming Wednesday, my brother will get his first injection of Eligard. 100% Efficacy with minor or No side effects is our prayer. Thanks Be to God for all of His gifts to us, gifts so undeserved, yet gifts He gave to prove His Love. Thank God for His Gift to us of your prayers. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
Good God Almighty
I hope You'll find me
Praising Your Name no matter what comes
'Cause I know where I'd be without Your Mercy
So I keep praising Your Name at the top of my lungs...
Amen Brie. God bless you and Larry.
DeleteWhat was date of JJs prayer I need to print it out.?
DeletePraising His Name with you, dear Brie.
DeletePraying for God's power and Eligard to bring Keith back to perfect health to his doctor's amazement and to God's glory.
I'm with Mindy. I sure could use JJ's prayer to pray over my friend Scott whose cancer came back and his gallbladder is infected.

ReplyDeleteSome of the most tangled knots that exist in the world are ones that come from discord in families, the dissolution of families, and a lack of understanding and compassion between family members.
Today, let's pray for the untying of knots of conflict within and between families. Let's pray for reconciliation and forgiveness. In Jesus' Name, The One Who consistently stays the same Yesterday, Today, and Forever. Amen
Joining in this prayer with you Brie, and with all those thanking God for good health reports. Nothing is impossible with God, He doesn't lie!

ReplyDeleteThank you all for your prayers. Luv, Annette
ReplyDeleteThank you Jesus! Thank you friends
DeleteFrom yesterday's devotion and test:
ReplyDeleteBrie April 24, 2022 at 8:35 PM
When you respond to the circumstances of your life with affirmations of trust, you actively participate in the process... Today Keith's wifi went out. Wifi connects his heart's pacemaker to a device that sends realtime electronic readings to his Dr's office. I called his wifi service provider. No service person could come out until Thursday (today is Sunday) Rather than plan this out alone on my own, as I have so often done in the past,instead, I re-read today's reading over and over until I mustered up enough trust to get into God's Word, praying to Him for help rather than my traditional, alone on my own routine.
When I rose from my heartfelt prayer laying it all in His Hands, reassuring myself You Are Not Alone, the wifi service was restored. Thank you Jesus for TESTing me on today's devotion, to make sure I really got it, and so I could share Your Victory in my TESTimony. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
The knowledge gained from yesterday's TEST can be transferred to today's devotion: Circumstances are in flux, and the world seems to be whirling around you. The only way to keep your balance is to fix your eyes on Me, the One who never changes.
DeleteHelp me Jesus! Thank You Jesus. Amen.
Amen 🙏. Hallelujah! What a wonderful victory in Jesus Christ! God bless.
DeleteBrie - Joining you and celebrating your Victory in Jesus.
DeleteAmen and Hallelujah!
Awesome Brie!
DeleteTJ
You've inspired us dear Brie along with today's message. Hallelujah! Your trust in the Lord prevailed. He was waiting to eagerly show you what "keeping your eyes on Him" can do. Thank you for sharing. Love & blessings 💞
DeleteHalleluia! Our God is so great. So very thankful that Keith's WiFi is restored because God is faithful to those who sincerely trust in His Way.
ReplyDeleteI love today's devotion. I will keep my eyes on the Lord. He will be my Focal point. He is asking us this: "Look to Me, refreshing yourself in My Presence, and your steps will be steady and sure." Amen and Amen!
Psalm 37:5 Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
Amen dear Jeanne Amen! Praying for you & your needs today🙏🙏💞. Kind of rushed this morning. Seeing my doctor to help keep track of some of my concerns. Low thyroid, high red blood cell count, stress hormone issues. Covering your prayers. Love &, blessings 💞🙏
ReplyDeletePraying for healing of all your concerns, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
DeleteLove you Jan gridley. 😍
Joining in prayers for these lovely JC family members, and their families, and their children, and their children...
DeleteDear Jan, Thank you sweet sister for your prayers. They mean a lot ot me and all my sisters. Praying for you and your health issues. Joining prayers for God to heal every weakness in your body and to answer all our dear JC Family's prayers. Thank You Jesus.
DeleteThat's coveting. 🥰
ReplyDeleteGlobally a lot of wi-fi's are out or intermittent at best. The Sun is going through a time of increased sunspot activity resulting in much radiation coming on Earth. Look up references to the Carrington Event, the worst episode where back in the day radio / Morse operators couldn't even touch their equipment.
ReplyDeleteThese days SO much depends on wi-fi and the Sun's activity will affect it.
So praying Keith's wi-fi keeps connected and all others medically and life dependant on wi-fi.
Thank you Jesus for The Jesus Event, that even during a Carrington Event, even when all other circumstances are in flux, and even when the world seems to be whirling around, dizzying and confusing us, You give us Your Way to keep in balance, i.e., Turn Our Eyes Upon Jesus and then FIX OUR EYES ON YOU. We can always connect with You becauae You are always connected to us, WiFi free! Thank You Jesus. Amen.
DeleteSinging my mantra for today,, TURN YOUR EYES UPON JESUS with Lauren Daigle

DeleteJust love that song dear Brie! Lauren Daigle has such a beautiful voice too. Thanks!
DeleteJesus be my focus. My eyes are on You as I go through this day. You are the True North in my life's compass leading me according to Your plan and purpose in all situations in my life. Thank You for the calmness You bring to the storms and rough places. Thank You for Your peace that envelopes. Thank You for the wisdom You provide and thank you for Your constant Presence and companionship. I love You and trust You Lord. Amen.

...gathering...
DeleteI appreciate today's thoughts, comments, and stories. As I consider God's directive to me to quit my job, it is a great comfort. I don't know exactly what He has planned for me but I know He has plans for me to minister to people as I discover His provision every day.
ReplyDeleteAppreciate your prayers to follow His lead :-)
Praying 🙏 for His Wisdom, Hid Guidance, and His Direction for you
DeleteAmen! Joining your prayer for Keith, dear Brie.
DeletePraying for God to open the next door for you my brother, and prepare your next job and bring you the desires of your heart. Trusting in His faithfulness in your life.
Today and yesterday's devotions fit very well. Having a bit of vertigo. I've been feeling like life has me spinning in circles. Now when I turn my head, bend down or lay down I lose my balance and feel nauseated. The aftermath of a spinning carnival ride with out the smiles and screams of fear and joy. Thank you Lord that you have my feet on you the solid rock the firm foundation.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you are experiencing that. I tasted vertigo for a short time and it is no fun. Praying
DeleteBeen there, done that spinning, dizzying. ballerina thing, got the pills. Praying 🙏 for your quick and complete healing sweet TERRI
DeleteDitto here! Awful that Vertigo! Dear heavenly Father, keep me focused on you always and remove any confusion and dizziness in my life (and Terri's!) "Dizziness and confusion" can definitely cause a distraction in our spiritual life. Keep us focused on YOU always! Amen.
DeleteTerri --- Meclizine can be purchased over the counter and is very helpful with vertigo and nausea.
DeleteDear Terri, I was praying for you today. Joining all prayers for your quick recovery. May God bring you back to perfect health and comfort. Trusting in His promises and his healing power.
DeleteWe ask for this, dear Father, in Jesus' Name. Amen
Yes, Terri - Meclizine will help vertigo.
DeleteDear Terri! Praying you are feeling well and God is continuing to comfort your heart and guide your path. Love you.
DeleteLet us keep Jesus reigning in our hearts above all else today. If we have a lot to accomplish, we must invite Him to help us. He wants to be a part of every little thing we do. We need Him because He is our strength when we are weak, and His wisdom is greater than any earthly treasure. Wishing you all a blessed and happy day in His presence. Find time to be still in the Lord. I'm trusting in His help while I bake and cook, and watch with my little Gabriel, and lead my Bible Group. I'm so grateful He is always with me. I'm keeping you dear ones in my prayers. May we all receive God's faithfulness as we trust in Him.

You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

DeleteWorth Sharing Michael Youssef Daily Devotions
ReplyDeleteWe all can remember our school days when we were faced with exams. We spent all day in school—and still we panicked when it came to test time. Of course, we know that these exams and tests were for our benefit. They measured our growth, highlighted our strengths and weaknesses, and guided us toward the future. We face tests and exams on a spiritual level, too—but these tests are indicators of our eternal future.
We must examine ourselves with the guidance of the Holy Spirit and always be ready to be tested. Throughout 2 Corinthians, the apostle Paul wrote what God taught him that gave him power to live positively in Christ in the midst of fear, trepidation, imprisonment, and flogging. In his conclusion to this letter, he says, "Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves" (2 Corinthians 13:5).
The Corinthians of old fell into the trap that some of our modern educators have fallen into today. If students are not keeping up and succeeding in school, some believe that the standards must be too high—so they lower the standards.
Worse than the education system is evidence that this is happening in the churches of Jesus Christ, too. People don't want to believe that Jesus is the only way to heaven and eternal life. Some churches are saying, Let's water down the Truth and not talk about the crucifixion or the resurrection. We don't want to offend people—they are the most important part of the church. Instead, we'll talk about relationships and good communication.
The apostle Paul would tell us that this type of compromise leads only to frustration and disappointment. He is telling us that to have the peace and assurance of our salvation, we must believe the Word of God.
Prayer: God, help me to see where I have lowered standards in my own life. Forgive me for compromising and grant me steadfast faith for Your glory and my good. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.
That was so wonderful! May the Churches present God’s truth to His people exactly as Paul did! I’m staking my very life on the truthfulness of God’s Words. He is divine and cannot lie! He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
DeleteAmen Sassy Mom! As Christians that may be church goers, we OWE people an encounter with God when they brave the walk thru our doors. Come Holy Spirit, you are welcome here!
DeleteBeloved Audra - "Come Holy Spirit, you are welcome here!" AMEN and AMEN!!!!!!
DeletePraying for all the needs of the JC family as you pray for me.

ReplyDeleteBut you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. (Jude 1:20-21). Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. (1 Peter 5:8).
ReplyDeleteBlessed.
DeleteThanks dear Janet! God is Greater but we must stay alert for the devil's traps. Thank You Holy Spirit for guiding us in body, mind and spirit.
DeleteThank You God. Each time the d'evil devoured me and spit me out crushed and broken, God picked me up and put my pieces back together again.
DeleteHe truly restores my soul. In JESUS' Name. AMEN!
Don't give the enemy a seat at your table with Christ!
DeleteDJOYCE APRIL 25th 3:59 am Praise our mighty king of kings for always being with us through our daily reading of Jesus Calling. I set up my Native Art Booth and publically sell the Jesus Calling in partnership with our local Christian Store to the Native people's and public during the month of September. Plus, I have Jesus Calling mailed into our local jails where I have family. Giving Jesus Calling as a gift is the best gift to my grand children to read too.
ReplyDeleteBless you Anonymous for the work you are doing. Thank you for sharing Jesus Calling with so many.
DeleteThank You for Proclaiming Him to many. May His forever blessings be yours.
DeleteHis Word never returns void. Let's all keep sharing! Thank you Jesus!
DeleteThank you dear Janet for sharing. Been awake since 3 with a headache & breathing issues. Allergies are the pits! I've approached the throne for healing so many times & still no answer from the Lord. Even so I will continue to press on. He has His reasons. I don't claim to understand them because I've no clue. I just have to trust. So tired😩.
ReplyDeleteJan, lifting you up to our mighty God this morning. Asking for Him to provide rest and healing. Thank you for sharing your faith here.

Joining in prayer for you this morning Jan and all the JC family. Let’s all keep our focus on Christ today together!❤️🙏
DeletePraying alongside you for healing. Allergies can be food related too, in fact anything can make our bodies produce histamine. Some anti-histamines do work. While you wait for God to heal you, remember: "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever."
DeleteJoining my sisters in Christ/JC Warriors, for you this morning, Jan. So sorry you're suffering with head pain, breathing issues and allergies. May Jehovah Rapha not only relieve all your symptoms but have them disappear forevermore. In Jesus' name, AMEN!
DeletePraying for you dear Jan with our family here. God knows how you feel. May He remove your headache and open up your airways and relieve you of your allergies. He can do all things so we Wait on Him. Thank You Jesus!
DeleteDear Jan, I pray for healing from your allergies which are producing the headache. May God lead you to the right antihistamine and bring full relief. I too suffer from allergies and headache, so I can relate to you being up in the night dealing with it. May God bless you with full healing. Amen
DeleteWhile focusing on Him, I am also praying 🙏 for you and all who are suffering. He Who makes a way, will make an airway. I know, He'll make a way.
DeleteIn Jesus' Name. AMEN!
Prayers for you, Jan! I too have approached the Throne many times for insight and healing of various health issues. Re: constant shoulder pain, recently, the Lord finally asked me how long was I going to keep carrying the burdens that I should be turning over to him. I now have measurably less pain as I surrender more and more each day. Thank you Jesus!
DeleteI pray for answers and insight for you in dealing with your health issues. In Jesus name ♥️✝️🙏
I'm off to see my good mom! Still rejoicing about dear Norah's DH. Our God is so merciful and kind. He answers our prayers and heals our weaknesses as we trust in Him. May God bless your days and lift you in every way. Let's keep our Focus on Him Who leads our paths and brings us all joy, peace, hope and love.
