STRIVE TO TRUST ME in more and more areas of your life. Anything that tends to make you anxious is a growth opportunity. Instead of running away from these challenges, embrace them, eager to gain all the blessings I have hidden in the difficulties. If you believe that I am sovereign over every aspect of your life, it is possible to trust Me in all situations. Don't waste energy regretting the way things are or thinking about what might have been. Start at the present moment--accepting things exactly as they are--and search for My way in the midst of those circumstances.Psalm 52:8
Trust is like a staff you can lean on, as you journey uphill with Me. If you are trusting in Me consistently, the staff will bear as much of your weight as needed. Lean on, trust, and be confident in Me with all your heart and mind.
English Standard Version
But I am like a green olive tree
in the house of God.
I trust in the steadfast love of God
forever and ever.
in the house of God.
I trust in the steadfast love of God
forever and ever.
Amplified Version
5
Trust in and rely confidently on the Lord with all your heart
And do not rely on your own insight or understanding.
6
In all your ways know and acknowledge and recognize Him,
And He will make your paths straight and smooth [removing obstacles that block your way].
My Prayer
Lord, so many times in my life you are there, simply saying "I got this." In turn, all that I need to do is trust You. You remind me to not worry, but instead pray about everything and you are teaching me that when I pray it is turning the control over to you. Why is it that prayer is too often the last thing I do when faced with a difficult situation? It's like I try to solve the problem my way and then when I can't, I say, "Well, I guess God is going to have to care of this." Lord, forgive me for putting you second or third or even last. I want to put you first, instead.
When I pray it is often simply asking to remove something in my life making me anxious, and yet you remind me that these are the instances when I often grow the most and even experience great blessings. My problem Lord, I admit, is that I don't trust you in every aspect of my life; too often, it is me that is saying "I got this." But, yes, it is possible to trust You in all situations.
Yet Lord, as Daniel Amos sang, don't let me take another trip down memory lane. Instead, I can start afresh and anew each day. I can pray, "Thank you for a new day." I can begin again. I can start at the present moment.
I really do want to trust in You Lord with all my heart and not lean on my own understanding. In all my ways I want to acknowledge You for the promise is real that you will remove obstacles in my life as I do and keep me on a straight path.

Ronald Reagan famously said when negotiating nuclear disarmament, "Trust but verify." What isn't widely known is that he was using an old Russian proverb to force Gorbachev and the Soviets to yield to reasonable and logical demands of the USA team!
ReplyDeleteBut with God, the Jewish proverb above says that He simply wants: "TRUST!" We know that Jesus trusted perfectly so it is not surprising that we will fall short. We want to trust what we see, what others say, what we want... but all we can do is trust Him to help us no matter the circumstances, good or bad, that later today will bring. Trust. simple word - difficult task. Pray for you and me to trust a little more today than yesterday - just a small step will be progress. Amen
2020 addendum. Recently read an old Irish proverb, grounded in Scripture I'm sure, that may help with today's JC devo:
Delete"When mistrust comes in, loves goes out."
Our love, thus our faith, in God is diminished when we don't trust Him in all parts of our life. But His love for us is UN-diminished and He will strengthen us in the rough paths if we simply trust He will get us through them. Praying for all here to TRUST in The Lord! Amen.
Amen. Trust and Love! KS
DeleteMadFox, I just shared that quote with a dear sister in Christ whose husband has dementia. She said she feels as if she is in a 'long season of goodbye,' and this was not the way either of them expected to live out their golden years. Please, JC Prayer Warriors, pray for my dear friend. I continue to pray for a miracle; she just wants to be kind and patient. Whichever happens, God has this.
Delete" Don't waste energy regretting the way things are or thinking about what might have been. Start at the present moment--accepting things exactly as they are--and search for My way in the midst of those circumstances." So simple, yet so hard when you are in the thick of it.
Thanks for the post, Madfox. Well stated. I couldn't help but think on the Reagan quote you shared, "Trust but verify." For verification, I go to the table to receive communion.
DeleteNorah, I lift up your friend in prayer. That is the down side of the benefits of modern medicine that enable us to stay healthy longer, sometimes we outlive our mental capacities. We pray for all who must walk that long good-bye. May God be with her (and He is!).
Why what who. All things we asked ourselves while caring for mom. My husbands mother lived with us the last year and a half of her life. She was a wonderful mother, mother in law, and grandmother. We took care of her about 2.5 years mom had alzheimer as did her father. She was a beautiful healthy women and then her brain started shutting down. She had seen many hard days losing loved ones....daughter,dad,husband,brother,step-dad,sister and brother in law. The last 3 in like a 3 year period. At first I thought stress was causing her fog. But as it sped up we could see it was more. Dr started her meds and she believed she would get better. As she started losing hope for healing the process became very sad and I started asking all those questions. I re assured my self that God understood why I was asking (and I'm sure he did) but what I didn't see was as each day passed I focused more and more on those questions. The anger of not understanding the why of what was happening, the questions of what exactly (they can only be sure if an autopsy is done) and who might be next was the devils way of stressing me out. Questions are normal and healthy for a short time they even brought me closer to God. But then they fuel doubt,anger and confusion. We will never understand the why bad things happen. We know the God that created us will never leave we can trust he will help us through. I read today's devotionals and started writing. The whole time thinking I wish I had seen this before. Then I would have been able to stress less and enjoy my time with mom more. But I had seen it before. I read these devotionals every morning. Our distractions cause us to not see what God puts right in front of us. Norah I will be praying for your friend but I had to thank you for sharing it is to late for me to use your post to enjoy mom now but prayerfully it will help me to not question God so long in the future. Thank you JS

DeleteThank you, Dear JS. My friend was over tonight, and she has regained her peace, for the moment. God love her...she has 11 children - all responsible, working, serving (in Military, FBI, Social Work. Yet she has one, still at home - a Sr. in HS. And she sees the 'every day,' which is what I pray about and ask prayers for. The repeated questions, the oddities that cause disruption in the family. My friend has been a Caregiver for Alzheimer's patients her whole life. It was so easy for her to be patient and kind to them, and yet, here she is facing it with her husband and she finds herself short-tempered and impatient. She ends up hating herself, and we, her friends, every Monday night, pray for her and remind her that it is OK. It will be OK. So hard. Thank you for sharing your plight and knowing what we're going through, and praying for my dear friend. She WILL be OK. She has God in Christ in her, as does her dear husband. They know, 'the rest of the story.' God Bless you, JS! And, Thank You, Bob - you are right - it is the price we pay for long life. I think of the movie, The Green Mile. UGH! He watched all of his loved ones die. We lost a good man, last Sat. Head on crash; his wife is in a coma. Please pray for Connie. She lost her brother last month, and now a husband. Oh, I pray for calm hearts. As my dear friend, Debbie, goes into surgery tomorrow. Please JC Prayer Warriors, pray for her. She is needed in our lives...her kids, her grandkids. Sigh. Heading to bed - God is on the Night Watch!
DeleteNorah,
DeleteI too am praying for your friend and her husband. It is such an awful disease. I pray that God will bless them during this difficult time in their lives. I pray that as the disease progresses that your friend will find the strength to get through every day. I am grateful for this group and the prayers that are given no matter the circumstances. God bless you all.
TJ
Praying for JS and also for your friend, dear Norah, and her husband. My Sister in law, Maureen has Alzheimer’s and she’s getting much worse. My husband’s dear brother is going through such a hard time too. He calls Rick almost every day fir comfort and advice. Praying for all those suffering from Alzheimer’s and Dementia, and for those caring for loved ones stricken by it. Such difficult roads they are on. But God is with them and will never leave them.
DeleteI join in prayer and thank God for the gift of patience for all elder caregivers, well, ALL caregivers. For there by the grace of God go I.
DeleteAfter caring for our mom and mom in law we want to let everyone know how important it is to get into a support group. It really helps to be with people who are going through the samething. Please find a group.
DeleteAs God's Holy Spirit often does, I was being pre-pared for today's devotion and the resulting posts. Before I read them, I was sitting on the steps crying for my brother's struggle and asking all the wrong questions, like why, what, who, instead of,
DeleteWould you help us O Lord to walk blindly on the path that you have traced without seeking to understand Your Guidance?
Thanks to all who come here. Your prayers and sharings are more valuable than you could ever imagine. Much Love, Brie.
God help me trust🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
ReplyDeleteI am caught off guard when I try to run on empty spiritually.
ReplyDeleteHis will must increase and my will must decrease and submit to the holy spirit's leading at the first moment of every awakening day. I am the branch and he is divine. Apart from him I can do nothing but with him He can accomplish all things beautiful through me.
I have been reading this blog for years and so appreciate all the prayers and comments. I too need to trust God with Everything yet when I struggle I forget. Jesus help me to to trust and believe you are always there I just have to ask ��
ReplyDeleteTrusting that this day and all is brings is covered and taken care of before I even have time to worry! Leaning on Him and knowing he has paved the way. Prayers for all in our little community that the Peyton Family started. Loved the RR reference, Madfox!
ReplyDeleteLove the scriptures and your prayer Payton Family. I need to trust God more. Having a procedure Thurs and I worry to much. I need to put it in God's hands. Love this community of followers.
ReplyDeleteI am seeking to have God be my first choice in all things. I am yet a work in process Lord and I trust God to help me with this journey. I am thankful each day that God chose me and my daughter to serve Him and honor His Word in all that we do. We know God is in control and all we have to do is pray, praise and belief that it is done. I love the Lord, He hears my cry. God is love!
ReplyDeleteDear Lord, please continue to guide and bless me in all my struggles. Help me to see this is an opportunity to grow closer to you. Amen.
ReplyDeleteFather I trust in all you do in & for my life. You put a beautiful woman & her beautiful daughter in my life & I can't be more blessed
ReplyDeletePraying for acceptance in all circumstances. Acceptance is the beginning of moving forward. How easy it is to stay frozen in time. Only by intentionally every day giving your circumstances to Jesus and trusting Him to walk you thru the valley can you find real assurance and the peace that is attached to the heavenly promise. Today my promise is to intentionally place the name of Jesus to "I got this" Psalm 32:7-8 You are my hiding place;you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.
ReplyDeleteYes lord I know I need to n work constant in trusting. You in. All arwas of my life.Amen
DeleteThank you Lord for a warm home during 12 degree weather.
ReplyDeletePsalm 33:18-22 The Lord watches over those who obey Him, those who trust in His constant love. 19 He saves them from death; He keeps them alive in times of famine. ... 21 We are glad because of Him; we trust in His holy name.
ReplyDeleteDear Lord, thank you for providing a staff for me to lean on in trying times. Help me to remember this throughout my day. Help me to build my faith and trust in You, in all things/situations. I pray for all the intentions presented here, for courage and strength for all those that seek you in their trying times. Amen.
ReplyDeleteAmen ABC! Joining in your prayer!
DeleteLove the picture of leaning on a staff. I remember a painting of a shepard leaning on one as he seemed to rest while he looked on his sheep grazing peacefully.
DeleteI am blessed to be in Your Presence this day, dear Lord and thankful that my 'hope is built on nothing less, but Jesus' blood and righteousness'.
ReplyDeleteMy grateful heart rejoice with praise and thanksgiving to Your Holy name.
This morning, I am reminded to trust in the Lord with all my heart and lean not on my own understanding. I take this to mean, I can't depend on me and yes, it is true and if I can't depend on me, I am sure I certainly can't depend on man.
We are told that trust should be earned, but Proverbs 3:5 tells me that trusting in the Lord is exactly where we should start! The majority of us if not all, have been disappointed one way or the other, either depending on ourselves or others.
Living the life God has called us to means unlearning that lesson because we are meant to rest in God's understanding. It can be hard sometimes trusting in God, especially when we are faced with problems after problems and what seems to be unanswered prayers etc..,but regardless, we must consciously lay aside our own plans and expectations and surrender to HIS plans. Cry out to Him to show that dependence (Prob. 3:6- "In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight").
When we pray, we are showing God that His ways are higher than ours. We are telling Him that we are leaving all our burdens in His capable hands. Psalm 55:17 tells us that God hears us: "Evening, morning, and noon I cry out in distress and He hears my voice". Now that's a blessed assurance!
Father, thank You for Your words that will never go back to You void, may they be food to our souls as we hand over our lives to You in total TRUST, knowing that You are able to lead us. Help us to yield to the voice of the Holy Spirit, check ourselves by Your words, put You first place in our lives and rest in Your love. I pray this for all, in Jesus name.

Love this prayer, Maplewood!
DeleteBeautiful Maplewood! Amen and Amen! Joining in your prayer.
DeleteHis Word lifts and sustains me every day. It’s the greatest food we can eat because it completely satisfies us. Let us stay finely tuned to the Spirit’s voice and subtle nudges as He guides us.
We must strengthen our trust muscles and boldly go forward into the unknown! Ge already knows what’s right around the bend. God has our backs and I believe it!
Today I will share many of your prayers with my Bible study group.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your far reaching hope Jesus.
Week of Prayer for Christian Unity - Day Five. From the scripture for the week (Acts 27:18-28:10) vs. 33-36: Just before daybreak, Paul urged all of them to take some food, saying, 'Today is the fourteenth day that you have been in suspense and remaining without food, having eaten nothing. Therefore I urge you to take some food, for it will help you survive; for none of you will lose a hair from your heads.' After he had said this, he took bread; and giving thanks to God in the presence of all, he broke it and began to eat. Then all of them were encouraged and took food for themselves.
ReplyDeleteAll the people on the ship, because of their feeling of hopelessness, and stopped eating. (Human nature has a tendency to stop doing the things that are good for the self when hopelessness sets in.) Paul, in his hopefulness, encourages them to eat. As he is having an impact on them, they are willing to do so. So Paul takes bread, gives thanks to God, breaks it. distributes it, and they eat to gain strength.
The above story can't help but draw one's attention to the Eucharist or Lord's Supper. It is the sacrament in which God gives us hope and spiritual strength. All of us here reading this blog come with different understandings of the bread and the wine on the alter/table. It is not most important what you understand, it matters most that it serves its purpose of reminding each of us of the love of God which gives us hope and strength in our lives. If too much time is spent on the theology of the sacrament, the purpose will be missed. Once, I learned a lesson when I was serving communion. When I gave the elements to one elder, she crossed herself. I thought to myself, I have the responsibility to offer communion in the manner which my denomination believes, but how you receive it is a matter of your relationship with God. (Thank you, Holy Spirit for teaching me that at the Lord's table.)
I am so blessed by this blog and the support and encouragement you all give to one another and me. The one thing this blog cannot do is enable us to break bread together thus we each need a church. I am looking forward to doing that with you when Jesus serves us in His Kingdom and we can finally embrace each other. God be with you.
We'll have a JC family reunion in His kingdom! Save seats! :-)
DeleteThank you, Bob; I hunger for God's love; my hope, my strength.
DeleteThank you Bob. I too look forward to the time when we will break bread together at the Table of the Lord. And what a grand reunion that will be! I’m sure I am not alone in feeling that it’s hard attending Mass virtually. Although we are present and receiving God’s Word and wisdom, we are not able to receive Communion. But I remind myself God knows our hearts and also that we’re doing our best to stay safe. This too shall pass.
DeleteAmen dear LCA!
Yes Bob, agreed. God provides enough blessings for ALL! Amen.

Amen my dear family! What a wonderful and perfect day that will be!
DeleteEverytime I read, Revelations 7, I think of our JC Family's Heavenly meetup.
Delete9 After this I saw a vast crowd, too great to count, from all nations and provinces and languages, standing in front of the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white, with palm branches in their hands. 10 And they were shouting with a mighty shout, “Salvation comes from our God upon the throne, and from the Lamb.”
11 And now all the angels were crowding around the throne and around the Elders and the four Living Beings, and falling face down before the throne and worshiping God. 12 “Amen!” they said. “Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might, be to our God forever and forever. Amen!”
13 Then one of the twenty-four Elders asked me, “Do you know who these are, who are clothed in white, and where they come from?”
14 “No, sir,” I replied. “Please tell me.”
“These are the ones coming out of the Great Tribulation,” he said; “they washed their robes and whitened them by the blood of the Lamb. 15 That is why they are here before the throne of God, serving him day and night in his temple. The one sitting on the throne will shelter them; 16 they will never be hungry again, nor thirsty, and they will be fully protected from the scorching noontime heat. 17 For the Lamb standing in front of the throne[a] will feed them and be their Shepherd and lead them to the springs of the Water of Life. And God will wipe their tears away.”
Commentary: Some of us may ask St. Peter where we can find our JC Family in Heaven. I imagine St Peter saying. Just Listen for and go toward the singingness, dancingness, hallelujahingness, praisingness, joyousness, huggingness, thankingness, sounds. That would be them!
Amen! That’ll be the most joyous reunion!
DeleteWhat joy that will be. 🎶Oh glorious day!💕
DeleteCome Holy Spirit! Thank you Jesus for our reserved places with our families and friends in Christ!
DeleteThank you Lord for never changing. You are always the same and I feel so very loved by you. You never fail me; always before me. I will forgive others who fail me. I might not forgive as you do; please give me strength. Forgive me for all the ways I fail you. Jesus I trust in you; I will pray more and pray more.
ReplyDeleteDear JC Family - I am heading to bed with a, not heavy, but responsible heart. I have so many to pray for and I have to remember that it's not ME, Lord, (who can save them), but it's ME, Lord - who can pray. Putting my head on the pillow - for my family, for my cases, my dear sisters and brothers in Christ. 'Nite
ReplyDeleteDoing the same. Praying as I lay down to sleep. So many people to pray for. Sometimes it takes all day. Especially when family comes for dinner but God understands.
DeleteYes Jeanne! Reading a book where the author talks about prayer being part of our day. Each day. All day long. A manner of travel. Let us all pray incessantly, for ourselves and those we have promised to pray for! Amen.
DeleteAmen ABC, Pray without ceasing for each other. No matter how long the list, just keep praying. If we fall asleep, He will read our list Himself and the words in our hearts.
DeleteJOINING INTO WEEK OF PRAYER FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY, 2021
ReplyDeleteDay 5, Letting oneself be transformed by the Word: “You have already been pruned by the word...” (John 15:3)
Scripture
Deuteronomy 30:11-20, The word of God is very close to you
Matthew 5:1-12, Blessed are you
Meditation
The Word of God is very close to us. It is a blessing and a promise of happiness. If we open our hearts, God speaks to us and patiently transforms that which is dying in us. God removes that which prevents the growth of real life, just as the vine grower prunes the vine.
Regularly meditating on a biblical text, alone or in a group, changes our outlook. Many Christians pray the Beatitudes every day. The Beatitudes reveal to us a happiness that is hidden in that which is unfulfilled, a happiness that lies beyond suffering: blessed are those who, touched by the Spirit, no longer hold back their tears but let them flow and thus receive consolation. As they discover the wellspring hidden within their inner landscape, the hunger for justice, and the thirst to engage with others for a world of peace, grows in them.
We are constantly called to renew our commitment to life, through our thoughts and actions. There are times when we already taste, here and now, the blessing that will be fulfilled at the end of time.
Prayer
Blessed are you, God our Father, for the gift of your word in Holy Scripture. Blessed are you for its transforming power. Help us to choose life and guide us by your Spirit, so that we can experience the happiness which you want so much to share with us. Amen.
Amen Brie 🙏. Joining in your beautiful prayer with you.
DeleteAmen! I can’t even imagine my life without His Word. Thank you Father for the greatest gifts of Your Son and Your Word. The finest gifts that keep on giving.
DeleteAmen! Thank you Lord for pruning and renewing us. Thank you for giving us new life and new beginnings, Thank you for your Grace & Mercy. All for Your Glory.
DeleteBlessings from France
Thank you for posting these, Brie. My time has been consumed with facilitating observance of this week in the area I am living. In a time that circumstances require 'distancing' it is imperative that we long for unity so when the masks come off, hugs are given again, and we gather for worship, we will appreciate the unity we are called to and make greater effort to seek it as Jesus wished when He prayed, "Father, may they be one as You and I are one, so the world may know You sent me." (John 17:20-23). God be with you.
DeleteAmen Bob! So glad to hear from you and know that you're okay. Praying for you and yours and all JC family. God bless you all.

I love how Brie has stepped in with the prayers for Unity, and that Bob can see God has his back through his gifts of sharing on this blog.

Thank you Jesus, for guiding me and keeping me coming back for more.
DeleteBOB!!!
DeleteI was praying and hoping the unity prayer week 2021 posts would nudge you to post. Each day when I prayed on the Unity Prayers, I wondered what your commentary would be, but I knew better than to even think about going into commentary. Like John, I also knew I was not even fit to fasten your shoes, even if you wore Velcro sneakers :)
You’re doing a fine job, Sister, and i’m so grateful for your encouragement, dear Brie. This is the time for renewal of Christian Unity throughout the land and in our hearts.
DeleteGood to hear from you, Bob. I knew you were busy serving the Lord where he planted you. Stay well and safe as you glorify our Father.
Father, please help me to see the truth in all things and to always trust in You and Your everlasting love and guidance to keep me from falling out of line and straying away from You. I want to be able to keep You as my primary focal point at all times and everything else be secondary to You. You mean so very much to me and I only want our relationship to grow and blossom with each passing moment. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen 🙏. Thank You Jesus. Praise the Lord continually and always.

Delete🎶🎶LESS LIKE ME by Zach Williams🎶🎶
DeleteOh, I have days I lose the fight
Try my best but just don’t get it right
Well I talk a talk that I don’t walk
And miss the moments right before my eyes
Somebody with a hurt that I could have helped
Somebody with a hand that I could have held
When I just can’t see past myself
Oh Lord, help me be...
A little more like mercy, a little more like grace
A little more like kindness, goodness, love, and faith
A little more like patience, a little more like peace
A little more like Jesus...a little less like me
Yeah, there’s no denying I have changed
‘Cause I’ve been saved from who I used to be
But even at my best, I must confess
I still need help to see the way You see...
Somebody with a hurt that I could have helped
Somebody with a hand that I could have held
When I just can’t see past myself
Oh Lord, help me be...
A little more like mercy, a little more like grace
A little more like kindness, goodness, love, and faith
A little more like patience, a little more like peace
A little more like Jesus, a little less like me
Oh, I want to feed the beggar on the street
Love to be your hands and feet
Freely give what I receive
Lord, help me be
I want a friendship first above all else
Love my neighbor as myself
In the moments no one sees
Lord, help me be
One, two, three...
A little more like mercy, a little more like grace
A little more like kindness, goodness, love, and faith
A little more like patience, a little more like peace
A little more like Jesus, oh, a little less like me
A little more of living everything I preach
A little more like Jesus, a little less like me
Oh, a little less like me
I loved those words Brie! Thank you! May God fill us with more mercy, kindness, patience, love and forgiveness.
DeleteAmen.

DeleteMany thanks & blessings to all who prayed for my dental procedure. Simply amazing! Jesus was there Jeanne as He was with you. I felt absolutely coddled & cared for. NO PAIN!

DeleteHey Gang, Could really use some prayers for some financial peace. gotten my self into some debt and it's no ones fault but my own. I have never been good with my money but I trust that God is in control and is working in that aspect of my life. Id love to just get back on track financially. I appreciate this community. Y'all have made my mornings at work a little bit better for the past 2 years. Thanks
ReplyDeleteAnonymous- God is the God of all provisions! We stand in prayer with you for that financial breakthrough, in Jesus' name!

Joining into prayers for you Anonymous. I have been there; done that. As God sent me financial blessings, in Thanksgiving I stayed faithful to tithing 10% back to a church or charitable group that continues the work He started when He walked this earth in a Human Body, like ours. Showers and showers of blessings, including financial, were received and I learned One cannot outgive God! Just sharing my personal experience for whatever it is worth to you. Be blessed
DeleteAs it so often does, it appears that Sara Young's devotion today, is a perfect fit for your situation Anonymous:
DeleteSTRIVE TO TRUST ME in more and more areas of your life.
Anything that tends to make you anxious is a growth opportunity. Instead of running away from these challenges, embrace them, eager to gain all the blessings I have hidden in the difficulties.
If you believe that I AM Sovereign over every aspect of your life, it is possible to trust Me in all situations.
Don't waste energy regretting the way things are or thinking about what might have been.
Start at the present moment--accepting things exactly as they are--and search for My way in the midst of those circumstances.
Blessings to all.
Yes, indeed Brie. Tithing is the key. It's the only thing in the bible where God says "test me on this". No tight fist, open the hands, ready to give & receive as the Lord gives back, pressed down running over. We cannot out give Him.
DeleteTrusting in His Holy Word. It has always succeeded!
DeleteDeuteronomy 14:23
Bring this tithe to eat before the Lord your God at the place He shall choose as His Sanctuary; this applies to your tithes of grain, new wine, olive oil, and the firstborn of your flocks and herds. The purpose of tithing is to teach you always to PUT GOD FIRST in your lives.
Malachi 3:10
Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so that there will be food enough in My Temple; when you do, then I will open up The Windows of Heaven for you and I Will pour out a blessing so great you won’t have room enough to take it all in! “Try it! Let Me prove it to you!
Joining prayers for God’s provisions and faithfulness to you, dear Anonymous. Amen! Be generous with what you have and trust in the Lord that all your needs will be supplied and much more abundance will be on its way. God is a promise keeper!
DeleteMay God bestow a financial breakthrough on your life. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen 🙏.
DeleteI TRUST YOU JESUS!

I TRUST YIOU JESU!
MY TRUST IS IN YOU JESUS, MY TRUST IS IN YOU ONLY. I PUT THEM ALL IN YOU, LORD! You deserve all my Praise from morning to evening. The world says, you can’t put all your eggs in one basket because you might lose everything, so you share it. But I say in God we can put All of our eggs in one basket and then put the basket is the hands of Jesus and watch Him do EXCEEDINGLY, ABOVE ALL we ever dreamt! As each day brings about predictable routines or testing trials or unexpected experiences, I still Trust that You are good. In the midst of any of my circumstances, You are ALWAYS FAITHFUL! Your love for me is unchanging and Your goodness knows NO end! Thank You Lord for Jesus.
Blessings and Peace.

Love you.
Amen! And me too praying for you,💗
DeleteJust had to share one more victory. Went to my cardiologist for my follow up for my procedure in December to close the hole in my heart. Praise God! The echocardiogram showed the patch perfectly placed and my heart working just as it should. The Doctor said “Fantastic”. I said “Thank You Jesus”! Hallelujah! He is so good to me.
DeleteGod's Victory is Jeanne's. God's Victory today is Jeanne's!
DeleteSinging, dancing and Hallelujah-ing for you sweet Jeanne.
Thanks Be to God from Whom all Blessings flow!
Amen and Hallelujah Jeanne 🙌 🙏 👏 ❤.

DeleteAmen dear Jeanne! I join you in proclaiming His good works in this year 2022! He brought you through a successful surgery in 2021! Hallelujah!
DeleteWhile Sitting on the grass at a crowded Jazzfest, a little girl about 3 years old was walking around hugging people. Her Father was following behind her saying, I hope you don't mind. She doesn't understand that some people may not want a hug. Two of the things that little girl taught:
ReplyDelete1. HMMM! The Little Girl did NOT rely on her own understanding; she trusted Jesus' WORDS to LOVE ONE ANOTHER and actually lived out His Words by giving out loving hugs on His Behalf!
2. AHHA! Now I know why Jesus tells us to be more like little children.
Without relying on my own understanding, I am sending out a great big virtual loving, squeezing bear hug to all of you.
Thank You Little Girl for teaching an old Bear, a new trick!
So sweet! Everything looks so much better/easier through a child lens. This reminds me of the 2nd years old little girl I used to be, randomly waving and smiling at people I didn't know and asking them : "Hey, what's your name ?" They were smiling and laughing, telling my parents it was cute. LOL nowadays I would be way too introvert to do it again.
DeleteOh Lord, please help us to develop a childlike faith like You want us to.
Blessings from France
Thanks for sharing BFF...and triggering my memory bank!
DeleteAt three yrs old, I was always trying to enjoin others in activities. When no one else was around, I "enjoined" my dolls and stuffed animals!
Tight hugs for you Brie🥰

WOWSER! Madfox. Thanks for sharing!
DeleteOver 55 years ago and here we are just as Paul Harvey said in If I were the devil.
And as the Church sign says:
We are living in a time where satan doesn't have to hide anymore. satan can live right out in the open, yet the world still can't see it!
Amazing.
God Bless our United States of America.
God Bless our earthly leaders.
God bless our world.
God Bless our Love.
Amen
...left or right...?

Do you think these will be entrance qualifying questions at The Heavenly Gate??
Or, are they yet another satanic divide and conquer trick?
Wow, MadFox! That was scary in its accuracy. We live in a fallen world. That’s a fact but I believe God’s goodness prevails. We are of God little children, for greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. We shall overcome.
DeleteMy faith muscles are being stretched. Ouch!
DeleteSad but true Madfox. Thank God for believers like us here and around the world that stand firm in and on their faith in the Lord and the knowing of His victory in the end. Thank You Jesus 😊
DeleteSmile in the face of evil, praise the Lord and say "thank You Jesus "!
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Jesus for the Love, faith, and encouragement from my sweet sisters in Christ: Janet, Jeanne, Free as Can Be, Norah, NJS,Jan, and Audra. Your words bring much comfort to me as I wait until Monday at 1130 for my surgery for a constricted trachea aand vocal cords. You all are a true testament of living in his word. Thanks to all who continue to 🙏, as I will for you.🐑😘🫂💖. In his love, Butterfly 🦋 Love.
ReplyDeleteWill continue in prayer for you dear sister & kindred emogi fan😃. Father bless BL🦋 with that sweet calm in her spirit as You prepare her for this procedure. Like all her days, Monday will be in Your complete control, Your everlasting arms will be holding her tightly through this entire journey of trust. Your hands will on the hands of the surgeon. We pray this in Jesus' name, amen🙏💕
DeletePrayers for you, your family and the surgical team. Remember you are in the hands of the divine healer.
DeleteContinued prayers, BL, and for the medical team performing your surgery Monday. I know their hands will be guided by our Jehovah Rapha, the GREATEST PHYSCIAN there is. Know and believe this surgery will be a success! In Jesus' MIGHTY name, AMEN.
DeleteDearest Butterfly Love, I will pray for you on Monday! There will be other surgeons working that day, as my daughter will also be having a surgical procedure. Thank you JC family for extending your prayers for her as well. ♥️🙏♥️🙏
DeleteDear Butterfly love, God will be guiding the doctor's hands perfectly on Monday to open up your trachea and heal your vocal cords. Praying for ease of breathing and relief of any pain. Thank You Father for this and for bringing our dear sister to a complete recovery. She trusts you as we do. Help us to trust You perfectly. We are waiting on You and looking forward to another victory in Your timing. Thank You for this in the Name of Christ Jesus.
ReplyDeleteI want to follow God, but His plan just doesn’t make sense.
ReplyDeleteIt’s okay if we don’t understand the big picture plan God has for us right now. Chose to trust God to lead you on the path.
Take the first step. He will give the next step, then the next one, and then the next. Eventually, we’ll get to the place He wants us to be. And one day it will all make sense.
My prayer for all of us is, we will take that first step and allow God to direct our paths. All it takes is trusting God even when it doesn’t make sense.
Amen dear Min, amen.
DeleteAmen dear Min. You spoke the truth. We must go forward holding His unchanging Hand. We must give Him the reins of our lives and not yank them back. He can lead us way better than we can lead ourselves.
ReplyDeleteAfter we take that first step forward, He has already prepared the second and the third. May He lead us like a bright Neon sign to the path that leads to glory, joy, love, comfort and fulfillment in Him. He has called us all for a purpose. Sometimes we are called to put our whole life aside because someone needs us. I sure do trust in His guidance and direction. I may not understand it but I trust Him. Thank You Jesus!
My sister in Christ, Patricia told me tonight that her son's girlfriend and the girlfriend's son were victims of what seems to be a "drive by shooting". They each took many bullets and are in ICU. All I know is that the girlfriend's son is named Milin. Please pray for them and for God to guide the doctors to treat their wounds quickly and perfectly and save their lives. Milin is only 21. We thank You Father for this. You are so merciful. Heal these two people and bring them back to perfect health so they can proclaim your marvelous works. You are the Miracle Maker and we trust in Your amazing healing power. Waiting on You. Thank You for Your faithfulness in Jesus' Name. Amen.
ReplyDeleteJoining in prayer with you dear Jeanne. Father, please let Your power be bestowed in the lives of these that were victims of such a heinous crime. Bring comfort, strength, peace and love to the families. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen.
DeleteJoining in prayer dear Jeanne for your friend Patricia's Milin & girlfriend. Lord, touch their wounds to heal completely & their memories of such a horrible experience. In Jesus' name, amen.
DeleteJoining my sisters, Jeanne, for Patricia's son's gf and her son, Milin. God will bring them through and will, by His healing, be their testimony to God's healing power! In Jesus' name, AMEN.
DeleteLord we don't understand such violence. Please protect and care for victims and strengthen their faith in you. In Jesus'name I pray.
DeleteLifting up all the prayer requests to the Throne of Grace for my beloved JCFamily. Papa God watches over His WORD to perform it--and HE IS FAITHFUL!!! I declare is mighty healing hand over each circumstance in this FAMILY. I will marvel at the Lord's powerful presence and action; let the afflicted hear and rejoice. Let us exalt His name together. I sing praise to You my precious Lord. My MAGNIFICENT Jesus, for Your Honor and Your Purposes!!!
DeleteNJS --- You humbled me with your reply after my post yesterday. Your spirit spoke loud and clear to me. What an amazing, amazing God we serve. He is the Most High God and we serve NO other!!! I don't get all the reading done on this JC blog, but I do lift this JC Family up at least daily and declare the the 91st Psalm over each one. I don't post too often, but yesterday my Papa/Holy Spirit woke me up at 3:00 a.m. and said, rather brightly, "It's time to post!" So, I posted.
A parting thought---FAITH---It does not make things easy. It makes things possible.
Great Love and Blessings to you --- In His Grip of Grace ---JJ
Thank you for your sincere prayers for Milin and his Mom. Amen Audra, the ungodly have ways that we don't understand. No respect for life or God.
DeleteAmen dear JJ, Thank you for your encouragement and for lifting all of us everyday. I just loved your parting though! FAITH---It does not make things easy. It makes things possible. Sharing it now with my sister in Christ, Patricia.
Jeanne --- Talk about an encourager--that is you! Not to mention a warm sweet spirit with wisdom. Glad the word about FAITH spoke to you. It spoke to my spirit as well.
DeleteGreat Love and Blessings to you and your family---JJ
Thank You Jesus. Praising You Lord. You are sovereign over all things and You are in control of everything. Thank You for choosing me Lord.

Thank you SassyMom, i repeat this in part everyday. Persistence is the key. Thank you also for sharing Shelby's prayer. Bless your day dear sister 💕.
DeleteJust what I needed to see. So many people need answers to their prayers. I just keep asking, seeking and knocking.
DeleteDear JJ, it was so good to read your post yesterday. How are you doing? Thank you for that beautiful prayer for our JC family. May that same prayer shower you with many blessings today💕🙏
ReplyDeleteOh, precious Jan! You are such a delight! You are so faithful to post. Just to let you know I am doing great. I had such BLESSED care from my Papa God,
Deletethe Angels, the doctors, nurses and Hubby when I was dealing with that pelvic tumor. My doctor says I am doing very well. So, my declaration is --- I am living in DIVINE HEALTH and I that is my confession!!!
Great love and Blessings to you and your family. Seeing your posts makes my day.
In His Grip of Grace and Divine Healing---JJ
Hallelujah dear JJ! I love to hear of God's faithfulness in your life. Thank You Jesus!
DeleteJanet, reading your post yesterday reminded me of how many wrong choices I've made & still capable of making. The one thing that helps me forgive myself is to remind myself that perfection is not within my grasp at the moment. The Perfect One is still at work molding this imperfect piece of clay. Be held, be blessed today dear one💕🙏
ReplyDeleteJan! It is so important that we forgive ourselves for bad decisions because God forgives them and He just keeps doing His marvelous work in us. We are not even capable of perfection but He is perfectly molding us to His perfect image. Love you Jan and Janet. We are so loved just the way we are.
DeleteThis is the day the Lord has made I shall rejoice in it and be glad in Him, AND trust Him in all things. I find it easier to give him all my anxiety, all my care rather than embracing them. I'm on the Way, but not there yet.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on that, Peter..."on the Way, but not there yet".
DeleteAmen Peter and NJS, Not there yet but I sure am exercising my Trust muscles.
DeleteAnxiety= a growth challenge. Praying for all of you experiencing anxiety today for tomorrow there is a miracle waiting at the door. Peace
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Suzanne, yes indeed, the miracle of a growing faith, no matter how things turn out!
DeleteGod’s Peace can rule in any situation. But we must be aware of it. His sweet peace is always there to cover anxiety and worry. Coming to Him with gratitude and praise especially through the hard times shows Him we trust in His mercy and promises. You just can’t be worried while you’re thanking Him for your blessings no matter the circumstances. Staying in His Presence during the storms is what He wants us to do. He never lets go of our hand but we let go of His.
ReplyDeleteI loved this from today’s devotion:
“Start at the present moment--accepting things exactly as they are--and search for My way in the midst of those circumstances.”
Joshua 1:9
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
Jeanne. So true, it is hard to believe that in life's valleys, we should express gratitude. But, it is an avenue for healing when we persevere. His promise is to hold your hand as you work through the present challenge, and then give you peace. Jesus showed how to be at peace His entire life, but this Trust was most evident on the Cross. Godspeed, praying for your healing.
DeleteAmen Jeanne 🙏. He is always with us!!! All His promises are true and He is faithful all the time!!! God bless you.
DeleteI will praise you in this storm
Deletehttps://youtu.be/dB4eC55dh-U
Wonderful, Amen.
DeleteThank you so much dear MadFox. So very true!! You added light to my day. Holding fast to His Hand and His promises! Thanks for your prayers. We pray for each other.
DeleteThanks dear Janet always for your prayers and blessings. God knows your beautiful heart of faith.
Dear Sassy Mom! Thank you so much! In your own grief and wilderness, you reach out to comfort me. I love you and I love that song! Praising Him in this storm and I will continue to do so because He is so worthy of our praise and thanksgiving and my blessings are countless.
Thanks Peter for always feeding us well with God’s Word and your Spirit guided words and wisdom.
We are all blessed because He knows we seek Him always with trusting hearts. And He is right there! Never changing. An unfading Light.
For I, the LORD your God, will hold your right hand, saying to you, 'fear not, I will help you'. (Isaiah 41:13). My flesh and my heart fail; but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. (Psalm 73:26). He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber. (Psalm 121:3).
ReplyDeleteBeautiful truth and the best breakfast!
DeleteUp pops Palm 73:26 again for me today. I found it last week to send to the siblings of my recently passed brother in law. Another example of the LIVING WORD to me. ♥️
DeleteIt's also a song that I love to sing, just a short one, but soothing.
DeleteI trust You Lord Jesus, please make me aware of areas in life where I need to trust You and trust You more. Thank You Lord, amen
ReplyDeleteWhatever you are going through sweet sister, God is your very present Help! Praying for you to receive an answer to your prayer and for our loving Father to wrap His arms around you and make your ways straight, and comfort your heart. Thank You Jesus.,
ReplyDeleteAmen! Trust we must 😉✝️
ReplyDeleteLord I ask for your help, in trusting you, and letting go of the outcome. Help me to have faith. I remember asking you to help me draw closer to you. It's crazy to me how I can even find myself having to ask for that help. I remember how clearly you spoke to me, saying " trust me when it seems impossible that things will work out. That is faith". I heard you and was able cease fighting for control of my life. How, after that profound moment in my life could my trust in you still falter? As I face my giants I will trust you Lord. I will continue, with your help and guidance to clear away the wreckage of my past so that I can be most useful to you. WHATEVER THAT MEANS!! Amen
ReplyDeleteGood prayer! Amen
ReplyDeleteMy dear sister from my Bible group said she was thinking of me and this song came on. It blessed my heart!

So, so true dear sister, everything's gonna be alright! This song blessed me also. Going to share it with some friends going through storms right now. Thank you for sharing 💞
ReplyDeleteI loved today’s devotion. I’m trusting in the Lord to guide me through every day. I call out to Him. He’s there! I lean on Him so many times. He waits for my voice as I wait for His guidance. He often says: Stay with me and all will be well. He shows me His beauty when I have a moment to gaze out the window. Yesterday the rosy sun painted the bare branches the most beautiful shade of peach. I stood there smiling and thanked Him for that special gift. I try to lift my mom and point out reasons to be thankful. I try to give her the things that make her happy. I made her French toast last night and bacon for her breakfast today. May God give her an appetite. We all trust in Him because He is so good and faithful. He lights our days and covers us with peace. His strength is ours when we feel weak. I’m fighting this cold and I know He’s fighting it with me. I’m carefully washing my hands so many times. God knows all this and He says not to worry. This will pass. I sure do believe Him. My mom is doing a bit better. She ate her breakfast and her blood pressure was good. We do Wordle together. She’s very sharp, thank God. She didn’t want my chicken soup. She wanted chicken egg drop soup so I beat an egg and cooked it in my soup and she loved it. God is my helper and He makes everything better. We don’t understand His Ways but He sure understands ours.
ReplyDelete1 Corinthians 2:10–11
But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.
Sweet Jeanne --- You are a compassionate and devoted caregiver to your mother. Your selfless love and dedication truly shine, and it's a blessing to witness the care and warmth you provide.
