This is the day that I have made! As you rejoice in this day of life, it will yield up to you precious gifts and beneficial training. Walk with Me along the high road of thanksgiving, and you will find all the delights I have made ready for you.
To protect your thankfulness, you must remember that you resided in a fallen world, where blessings and sorrows intermingle freely. A constant focus on adversity defeats many Christians. They walk through a day that is brimming with beauty and brightness, seeing only the grayness of their thoughts. Neglecting the practice of giving thanks has darkened their minds. How precious are My children who remember to thank Me at all times. They can walk through the darkest days with Joy in their hearts because they know that the Light of My Presence is still shining on them. Rejoice in this day that I have made, for I am your steadfast Companion.
Psalm 118:24
English Standard Version
This is the day that the Lord has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalm 116:17
English Standard Version
I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving
and call on the name of the Lord.
My Prayer
Lord, I ask that you would hear my prayer. You are good. Your love endures forever. You are on My Side Lord. You are my helper. You are my strength and my song. You do valiantly and you rescue me continually. You have rescued me from the grave. I thank you Lord. This is the day that you have made. You are my God and I will give thanks to you. Keep that my focus to you, the greatness of who You are. Different events will enter into my life but center me on You and allow me to trust You.

ReplyDeleteAmen 🙏.
DeleteAMEN!!
DeleteYep
DeleteAmen! Such a great reminder to Daily worship and praise the Lord! So thankful for this blog and the wonderful family of Believers!❤️🙏
DeleteI have 5 your devotional s.
DeleteAmen.
DeleteThis is the day, this is the day, this is the day that the LORD has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it. This is the day that the LORD has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it. Great Song.
ReplyDeletePerspective is everything: attitude determines altitude. Jesus, please help me to perceive life through the filter of Your lens. Amen.
ReplyDeleteAmen 🙏.
DeleteThank you Lord, that you give us hinds feet at the high places of trouble.
ReplyDeleteTo have a heart that is filled to overflowing with thanksgiving is a blessed state of being. It is heavenly! A helpful tool in reaching that state is praising God and the more specific we are in our praise will increase our thanksgiving. The prayer above is a good example of coming into the presence of our Lord by enumerating some of the reasons for which God is being thanked. It is the state of being the psalms encourage us to have, to come before the Lord with praise and thanksgiving. A healthy experience of praise deepens the thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteAmen Brother Bob! Praise and Gratitude to the Most High.
DeleteAmen 🙏.
DeleteAmen
DeleteSuch a beautiful message and such wonderful prayers. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThankful for another day that I woke up refreshed and ready. What a difference a few hours can make. "Walk with Me along the high road of thanksgiving, and you will find all the delights I have made ready for you." Thank you, Lord. That is my plan for today. Re-reading Bob's post from last year, I can remember how blessed I was and still am a year later.
ReplyDeleteThank you Loveconquersall, for your reminder last night that I am not alone. I took that in a couple of ways - I'm not alone in my family circumstances and I'm not alone b/c I have a family of Christ praying with me.
I am in a rare (for me) place this morning in that I am prepared to go with the flow of events over the next few days, trusting His ways are better than mine. So very thankful.
Praying for my family - all of them. Understood or not, I love them. Have a blessed day, JC Family. You are all in my prayers.
Norah~ Loveconquersall is absolutely right... you are NOT alone! We all have a certain amount of dysfunction in all of our families. A good friend of mine has a saying, "If you don't think your family has a dysfunctional person in it, you're it! hahahahahaa!
DeleteI shared this with my hubby Suzanne. We both got a good laugh out of it😄.
DeleteAmen. We all have challenging areas in our lives but Love conquers All. Blessings
DeleteOh Suzanne - that's FUNNY! I will remember that one. One of our neighbors told us years ago, "We not like your family - we're very dysfunctional." I told her - "We all are - it's just a matter of degree!" So true - right?
DeleteNorah
Yes all families have challenging areas as Phoebe so nicely stated it and we will pray for each other and I thank you in advance. I feel better already. Our savior hear our prayers, please have mercy on us, Lord.
DeleteThings in our family are always complicated. My older brother is upset about the election and doesn’t want to come for dinner. He says he’s not feeling well. My sister and I prayed last night that every weakness in our brother’s body, mind and spirit will be healed.
DeleteLet go and let God. Trusting Him that all will go well today and my turkey and trimmings will be yummy.
Hello, my name is child of the One True King
DeleteI’ve been saved, I’ve been changed, and I have been set free
Amazing grace is the song I sing
Hello, my name is child of the One True King
I am a child of the One True King...
Praying for your brother, and all of us, Jeanne: Politicians come and go, but The King and The Kingdom always was, is now, and forever shall be! Only God remains the Same Yesterday, Today, and Forever.
Hello, my name is child of the one True King
I’ve been saved, I’ve been changed, and I have been set free
Amazing grace is the song I sing
Hello, my name is child of the one True King
I am a child of the One True King.

DeleteI just stopped in to see what dysfunction my dysfunction is in :)
One of my refrigerator magnets..."let's put the FUN back in dysFUNctional". I miss all the departed family members that made out holidays such a crazy scene. May they rest in peace.
DeleteGod bless you all today! Happy Thanksgiving, thank you Jesus for this new day!
No doubt, everything WILL be yummy, Jeanne! You've laced it all with love!
DeleteDear Norah, My pumpkin pie, whipped cream, deviled eggs, sweet potatoes and cookies were yummy and my dear sister in love made a lovely Turkey dinner and pecan pie! We all ate too much and thanked the Lord for our blessings.
Delete♥️🎶 Link Hello

This is indeed the day You have made, oh Lord, I will Rejoice and be Glad in It. You have given me a Spirit of Love, Peace and a sound mind, NOT a spirit of fear! I am alive, Thank You for another day to glorify Your Holy name!'In Your Presence there is Fullness of Joy, at Your right hand, are pleasures forevermore'!
ReplyDeleteThanking You this morning oh most High God for ALL Your wonderful works!
Psalm 100:1–5:
1 Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.
2 Serve the Lord with gladness: Come before His presence with singing.
3 Know ye that the Lord he is God: It is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves;
We are His people, and the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, And into his courts with praise: Be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
5 For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting;
And his truth endureth to all generations.
I give Thanks to the Lord and join in with my JC prayer warriors lifting ALL the needs and requests up to our Father who never waivers in His giving and meeting our needs.

Maplewood NJ
Thank you Maplewood! Praying for you too!
DeleteJust what I needed to hear, dear Maplewood! Thank you! God did not give me the spirit of fear.
DeleteI got a call from the Dr saying she had to do my pre op blood test again because she found something wrong. She asked me if I had an auto immune disease. I said “No”. It is a week before I’m getting the hole in my heart closed. I have another test now this Friday at 9:30 and I’m praying the results will be normal. I was so upset when I got off the phone that I messed up my pumpkin pie. I beat the filling so much the bubbles wouldn’t go away and it has a skin on it. Oh well. I’m sure it will still taste good. Been doing my best to thank God for this test of my faith. Thanks for your prayers.
Suzanne, your comment made me chuckle this morning! just when I needed it.... Happy Thanksgiving from Pittsburgh! God Bless You All!!
DeleteThank you Jesus for all you have given me...the good, the bad, the ups, the downs, what I understand and what I don't. I love you and all my JC family. KS
ReplyDeleteDear Lord help me to...... walk through a day that is always brimming with beauty and brightness, and help me to rebuke the grayness of my thoughts.....I pray that I can stay focused on the goodness of each of my days, and not give any time to any grayness. I know if I stay focused on you I am well...I am well. Amen.
ReplyDeleteAmen
DeleteDear ABC. Amen. Keep your eyes on the light on your path in the grayest day. His light is always there! I agree if we stay plugged into Him, all will go better.
DeleteJesus remind me to stay in Your presence and trust Your promises. Amen
Thank you all with all of my heart for your kind words, prayers and well wishes yesterday. Each day gets more tolerable, yet still sad. When I read the devotional, I immediately thought of Dean. The guilt and negative thoughts have completely taken him over and he feels like he is (in his words) "damaged goods". I cannot imagine losing a child. Please continue to pray for him. You all are wonderful and I'm so glad I happened upon this blog a couple of years ago. You all are carrying me right now.
ReplyDeleteI choose to give thanks and praise for all blessings to Him. He is carrying me right now too.
God bless you all. Stay connected to The Vine.
Suzanne R. One year later, I am still praying for you, Dean and circumstances.
DeletePraying with you Sis for Suzanne R. and Dean. God is faithful and able to right every situation and mend broken hearts. Thank you Jesus!
DeleteSuzanne- joining warriors in prayer for Dean. In time the Lord will heal his desperate, wounded heart. Our God is faithful.
ReplyDeleteJesus, thank You for this beaitiful day Ypu have made for all. Thank you for the reminder to stay thankful and humble at all times, even when results or present circumstances are not what I envisioned they would be. Thank you for loving this sinner through everything. Great is Your love toward me
ReplyDeletePRAYER - "On our knees we are the most powerful force on earth"

DeletePraying for you Suzanne R and Dean. May you feel JESUS'S arms lifting you up and carrying you both through this. This will pass by the grace of God.

So as we thank our good God we are acknowledging that only through His mercy, faithfulness and grace are we still on this earth to give Him thanks and praise. The numbers are climbing but we know He has not given us the spirit of fear so we continue to stand on His promises. He is our refuge, our cornerstone, our high tower, our shelter, our provider, our comfort, our light and salvation. He is our companion and our dearest and truest friend who knows us better than anyone on this earth. He is the light in our hearts and the peace that is beyond our understanding. He is the Lover of our souls and the Keeper of our hearts. Give thanks to the Lord for He is good, His love is everlasting! Love you my family 😊💗

ReplyDeleteThanks Sassy Mom! Praying with you in thanks and praise looking up from where all our blessings flow.
DeleteWhy do I enjoy this holiday so much? There are no balls to watch drop, no eggs to hunt for, no parades to attend, no fireworks to watch, no silly costumes to dress up in, and no one gives me any presents. I simply gather with people I most love around a table and be happy. It is not a time for complaining, the election is over so those discussions can cease, and I have discussed the virus ad nauseam. No, it is a time to enjoy and appreciate all the good in my life which is beyond counting. It is time to be content and give thanks to the One from Whom all blessings flow. That is why I enjoy this holiday as much if not more than any other. It gives me such a blessed feeling deep within. Have a blessed Thanksgiving, JC family! God be with you. With love, Bob
ReplyDelete♥🙏🙏🙏♥
DeleteThank You Bob. Your post reflects my exact sentiments.
Pure and Simple: Think about the good things and give the THANKS TO GOD!

Happy Thanksgiving, Loved Ones! Prayers for each specific request! We will Facetime with our fam later today. It took me about a half hour to prepare a Group Text with all of our family, in-loves and their folks. Then my phone started dinging with responses. :)
ReplyDeleteMy hub and I laid in bed until 10:30, talking to some friends/family and asking each when we had EVER done THIS on Thanksgiving Day? LOL!!
Different isn't bad - it's just different!
Love all of your posts, the laughter they bring, the thankfulness they ignite and the giving that is initiated as we pray for each other. Time to eat something - the turkey won't be ready until later today. But, we have all sorts of goodies. Starting with some mini quiches. :)
Love to you and yours Norah and Thank You for reminding us that different is just different; not bad.
DeleteFor the first time ever, DH and I are eating our Thanksgiving Dinner for two. We set a place for Jesus. After our JC posts earlier in the week about the Trinity, I was unsure whether to set 1 or 3 places. I went with 1.
Love you dearly. Ypu and all of our JC Family command top spots on my Blessings List!

DeleteHappy Thanksgiving! My prayer for today and each day is to maintain an "attitude of gratitude". Dear heavenly Father, I am so grateful to be Your beloved!

DeleteAt the Name of Jesus, Every Knee Shall Bow.
I thank and praise You, God of my ancestors: You have given me wisdom and power, You have made known to me what we asked of You, You have made known to us the dream of the king. (Daniel 2:23). Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18). Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our "God is a consuming fire". (Hebrews 12:28-29),
ReplyDeleteOne year ago a cyclist got hit by a motorist and because of the impact he hit my car ! It's was a long journey of getting the car fixed properly , finally getting a buyer and selling it . God has been faithful he provided more than enough to get us to school and back. Then He provided a nice red car ...I completely all the paperwork and today I finally drove to work! My heart 💕 is bursting with joy and gratitude to God . What a journey , I am not the same God has changed me , I am a work in progress...
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful news of His faithfulness in your life. I have continued to pray that you would have a good working car and now you do. Halleluia dear Min and may God continue to bless you in all ways and your Mom and daughter. We are all works in progress and we are new creatures in Christ. He is changing us from the inside out. Our earth suits may get snags with age but our spirits are being renewed and strengthened every day. We are what we eat and our greatest food is the Word of God. So very happy for you sweet sister!
DeleteI'm so happy for you Min Ahadi. What another victory in Jesus Christ! So happy to hear your good news. May the Lord continue working and blessing you in your life. Peace be with you.
DeleteWonderful victory report dear Min👏💕 . Here at JC family we can never get enough praise reports! You are blessed!
DeleteCheering and praising God today for your answered prayers, Min Ahadi! God is so good to us! I remain so grateful for His protection and my good health in the midst of others who are struggling. Thank you Jesus, I love you Jesus, I trust you Jesus!
DeletePraise time. Rejoicing with you Min. So happy for you. I bet it was a joy filled ride!
DeleteHeavenly Father, thank You for always being with me. You are so amazing and wonderful. I praise You Lord always. Thank You Jesus. You are my saving grace and my eternal salvation. You are the One and Only God Almighty. There is no other God but You. You are the healer and miracle worker. Please place Your healing hands upon me and remove this affliction from my body. The pain is so excruciating. I know that only one touch from Your healing hands is all that it would take for it to be gone. I cannot find a comfortable position no matter what I do. Father, You know that I must work to make money to pay my rent. I couldn't work yesterday and I don't think I can do it today with this pain. Help me Jesus. Grant me some relief from this pain. It's so hard to focus on anything else right now because of it. Please forgive me for my complaining about this pain. I'm sorry for not being able to stop thinking about it. You say that whatever I ask in Your name, shall be given to me if it's Your will. I'm asking Lord. I'm crying out to You in my time of need to remove this pain and give me some relief from it. Thank You Jesus. I know You hear my prayers and thoughts and I know that You are with me. Your promises are true and You are faithful. You will not forsake me or leave me. You will guide and direct my steps along the path You willed for me, holding my hand, through it all. Lift me up with You Lord and help me to see things from Your perspective and through Your eyes and not my own. Grant me a thankful and giving heart and spirit. May Your Spirit rule me. Let me be aware of Your presence in everything, everywhere. Open my heart and mind to receive all that You have for me. Pour out Your blessings upon me. You know everything about me and all my burdens, circumstances, and situation. You know what's best for me and You will always take the best care of me. Thank You for all my benefits and blessings Lord. Let the Holy Spirit fill me up and drip from me. Help me share You and Your word with others in the world and let the power of the Holy Spirit flow through me and touch the lives of those I come in contact with. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen.
ReplyDeleteJC Warriors -- thank you for all your prayers and thoughts. God bless you!
DeleteDecided to drop in for the night shift here because of my good husband's snoring. I needed some prayers too. My little Gabriel was sick with a fever for the last two days so my son's whole family couldn't join us at my brother's and they wanted to see the two babies. Praying for Gabriel's recovery and that the rest of the family will feel good. Already my son has a sore throat. I was with Gabriel two days ago and we napped together face to face. Praying God keeps me healthy so I can take care of everyone. I have a problem that needs prayers. I used my right hand far too much this week and I really hurt my right wrist. I can't even lift a cup or open a pen or a jar. I will see the doctor soon. It's starting into December and I have cookies to make and decorations to put up and cleaning and a million things to do to get ready for my son and his wife's visit from 12/23 to 1/5. I'll be having my whole family over Christmas Eve for stuffed shells and eggplant parmesan and cheesecake. My apartment needs cleaning and I am trusting the Lord to heal me very quickly. God is so faithful and He won't let me down.
DeleteWell, We must pray for our sweet Janet. So I'm thanking God right now for her recovery.
Father God, You know dear Janet's struggles and her needs and goals and dreams and situation. Maybe she must give up this job because it requires her to sit for many hours and that is just hurting her body right now. We thank You to provide all her needs and heal every weakness and every nerve and muscle and bone and cell in the body You created for her. She seeks you in every day and trusts in Your promises. She feeds her soul with Your Word and patiently waits on You. We thank You for Your everlasting mercy and we know You are the Greatest Healer. Guide her to touch Your Garment. Renew her physically, mentally and spiritually. Bring her to a place of comfort and peace. She is suffering. Hear and answer our prayers for our dear sister. You can do all things and this is easy for you. Thank You for giving her relief from her pain and guiding her to a new way to make money to pay the rent. Send her some angels to guide her feet. Open some new doors for her. You are the Way Maker and she needs a way out of this pain. Thank You for all this and for answering all of our sincere prayers. Thank You for Your perfect love and Your continued Faithfulness in the Name of Christ Jesus, our Risen Lord and Savior. Amen.
Thank you Jeanne for all your prayers and thoughts for me. I'm so grateful to have so many believers in Christ praying on my behalf. May our heavenly Father heal and restore your hand and wrist and keep any and all unhealthy viruses away from you and your family. May He restore Gabriel to full health and bless your entire family. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen. God is so good to all of us -- ALWAYS! God bless!
DeletePraying for Janet . Father we appeal that you will touch her body and restore it to good health. We thank you Lord for your healing to surround her , for peace of mind Lord. She has alot she is concerned about , send your Holy spirit to be her constant companion. Amen
DeleteJoining Sis Jeanne in continued prayer for you sis Janet & wholeheartedly agreeing that we also need to petition God for a more accommodating job for you. He is a
DeleteGod of details. Amen!
Dear Jeanne, I posted the very same hand issue for prayer last year. My chiropractor said it was overuse and an injury on my neck as a teenager has caused the weakness. It was a busy time for me also. I was so bummed. I faithfully used comfrey cream & frankincense oil as well as the neck adjustment. He called it tendonitis. It went away. Now I make sure I treat it before there's a bigger issue. It's also called "aging", ha-hah. Praying for healing for the little one and rest of family🙏💕
DeleteAs I pray for Janet and Jeanne's aches and pains to be healed, may I offer a recommendation for TOPROCIN, a topical creme that is found in natural food stores. A little goes a long way so don't let the $ scare you away.
DeleteThank you Janet, Jan and Audra for your prayers. They are working! Gabriel's fever broke last night thank God. I've been icing my hand and using Arnica. Also took some ibuprofen today. God is healing me. Thank you for your other remedies. I sure appreciate them. I am waiting on the Lord and trusting in His faithfulness.
DeleteDear Min Ahadi, we continue to pray with our family here for our sweet Janet.
Thank You Father for fixing every problem Janet has heal all her weaknesses, especially her painful condition in the Name of Christ Jesus.
Thous shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; and shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. (Exodus 20:5-6). "And now, please let the power of the Lord be great as You have promised, saying, 'The Lord is slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, forgiving iniquity and transgression, but He will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, to the third and fourth generation.' Please pardon the iniquity of this people, according to the greatness of Your steadfast love, just as You have forgiven this people, from Egypt until now." (Numbers 14:17-19). "Now may the Lord show steadfast love and faithfulness to you. And I will do good to you because you have done this thing." (2 Samuel 2:6). "Then Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord in the presence of all the assembly of Israel and spread out his hands toward heaven, and said, "O Lord, God of Israel, there is no God like You, in heaven above or on earth beneath, keeping covenant and showing steadfast love to Your servants who walk before You with all their heart; You have kept with Your servant David my father what You declared to him. You spoke with Your mouth, and with Your hand have fulfilled it this day." (1 Kings 8:22-24). "Oh give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; for His steadfast love endures forever!" (1 Chronicles 16:34). "You have granted me life and steadfast love, and Your care has preserved my spirit." (Job 10:12).
ReplyDeletePrecious Scriptures, what a rich heritage and inheritance.
DeleteSuch a merciful God we serve. Give thanks to Him for He is good. His love and mercy are everlasting.
DeleteHi JC family,
ReplyDeleteI hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving yesterday. I must say there was a series of hangups and disappointments yesterday for me. But as I read today's devotion, I definitely feel a breath of relief; there is so much good to see and so much to be thankful for. Maybe yesterday was part of the training and for that I can be thankful.
You're good to me beyond anything I deserve. Forgive me where I fail you Father. Please forgive me where my sight isn't on you and my focus isn't on thanksgiving. Thank you God for your mercy. Thank you for another day of life. Thank you for my beautiful family. Please strengthen us Lord and help us run your race with joy and praise imminating our life <3 thank you for turning what the enemy meant for evil to good. You're our comfort, our peace, our guide, our loving Father. Thank you Lord. In Jesus name amen
Hello JC Family. I just spent time catching up with your posts since I hadn't been on here since Monday. I'll be praying for all the requests but I want to mention a few. Janet I know first hand how painful and debilitating back pain can be. It's hard to think and there's no comfortable position. I'll pray that God provides relief and ideas for solutions. Jeanne, I be praying for relief for your hand and wrist and that you can do the things that bring you joy in this season. And Brie, I m praying for a B9 result. And again praying for the other requests.
ReplyDeleteI am just coming out of a very busy time at work where I've been so overwhelmed, I didn't even have time to interview people that could help with workload. I'm hoping to finally start interviews next week. It has also been challenging for us financially. We just went through spending thousands to waterproof our basement and replacing our furnace...Ida was the final straw. But through it all, there were angels, including the small company that replaced our furnace with just a down payment and our promise to pay the rest. As we spent yesterday at friends, which means I didn't have to do the big production, and with one son home (we'll be seeing both next weekend), I realized I am truly blessed. God always has me. And when if he doesn't have my hand, it's because I let go, but he always has my back. Hope everything had a great Thanksgiving. God bless.
Dear PEBGDesigns, Thank you so much for your prayers. Praying with you for our dear Janet and Brie and our JC Family's needs and for answered prayers. Amen God always has your back and holds your future. So happy God's angels were sent to help you when you needed them. God knows our needs before we even ask for help. Even when we let go of His Hand, His Hand is right there to grasp again. When we fall, He is right there to pick us up.
DeleteThank you Lord, we give You all thanks, for your faithfulness and goodness to us. Thank you that today is one day closer to seeing You Face to face. https://youtu.be/SuLig-W4wSU
ReplyDeleteAmen to that dear Peter!
DeleteBeautiful song and video. Thank you.
Rejoicing in this day that Our Lord has made! Praying for each of you and Jeanne, I'm anticipating a Victory Report as your wrist is healed and your family all well. Janet, same with you! I can almost read the posts now and I'm excited to hear reports of healing.
ReplyDeleteI have 3 of my Grands here and they have forgotten what "indoor voices," are. But then I remind myself that I would miss them if they weren't here.
I will get the Littles excited about taking all things Autumn and Thanksgiving down so we can put up Christmas and lights as we remember the Reason for the Season.
Love, Prayers and Blessings to each of you.
Enjoy your sweet Grands dear Sister! They light up our lives just like those pretty Christmas lights. Enjoy their sweet smiles and laughter. We are blessed.
ReplyDeleteGod bless all our Family with answered prayers and more light upon their paths and in their hearts. Thank You Jesus.
I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. My wife and I spent the day together. She had a sister with Covid and a nephew with pink eye so the family get together was cancelled. I am blessed to have such a wonderful wife. We made the best of it. I hope you all were able to enjoy time with your families. God bless you all!
ReplyDeleteTJ
TJ --- Thank you for your blessings to this JCFAMILY! They are recieve! Blessings to you, your wonderful wife and the JCFAMILY/WARRIORS without end. Thank You, Lord, for keeping them safe and secure and their path to You sure. In Jesus's name, AMEN and AMEN. JJ
Delete2 Corinthians 9:8-9. "And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work."
Amen! God prepared the day for you TJ which just included special time with your good wife. God establishes our steps now matter how we plan our day. May God heal your wife's sister and the nephew with pink eye, and bless your family in all ways.
DeleteAmen dear JJ! Praying with you and for you.
We also had plans that got cancelled and now have plenty of leftovers. My friend reminded me sometimes we pray for family to come and sometimes we pray for family to leave 😉 I needed to be reminded to simply pray for God to guide them in their choices and let go of what feels like disappointment to me.
DeleteOn the night watch for all your prayer needs fellow bloggers. 🙏🌜🙏
Leftovers aren't a bad thing. Haha.
DeleteTJ
Asking for prayers to heal my son with Covid and to keep his family safe from sickness. He thinks he is alright according to the new guidelines, and only quarantined himself for a few days, and then invited Mayra, and little Gabriel and Nathaniel back into the apartment. Praying they don't get sick. He promised to wear a mask. But I know how much he eats during the day and that mask is going to be off a lot. God bless, heal and protect them all. Thank You Jesus.
ReplyDeleteI am just going to keep thanking Him because He deserved all our thanks and praise.
"How precious are My children who remember to thank Me at all times. They can walk through the darkest days with Joy in their hearts because they know that the Light of My Presence is still shining on them". Amen!
Just heading to bed. Praying for you and yours, Jeanne. It will be OK. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HznXBBCdBE
DeletePraying for you and your family. Our heavenly Father is so very good to us. May His healing hands touch your son and make him whole. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen 🙏. God bless.

DeleteThanks dear Norah, Janet, Audra, Anonymous, Sassy Mom and Brie for your prayers and encouragement! You blessed my morning. We know our God is faithful so we will just keep thanking Him and trusting in His way. Amen
DeleteRejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! (Philippians 4:4). Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy--meditate on these things. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you. (Philippians 4:8-9).
ReplyDeleteAmen!
DeleteAmen!
DeleteAmen! Thanks for the good spiritual food.
DeleteHeavenly Father, thank You. I praise You Lord always. May the light of Your presence brighten the way for me as we walk along this day together. Let me see all Your goodness and glory and remain in a spirit of peace and thankfulness. Deflect the "grayness " of this world and don't let it seep into me. Protect me from the negativity and lift my heart, eyes, and mind to Your glorious splendor Lord. Let me ALWAYS be in awe of You Lord. You are so amazing! Help me do the works of God and not the works of man. I submit to You Lord and let me rest in Your perfect sovereignty. Thank You Jesus. Open the eyes of my heart and let me "see" through them. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen 🙏.
ReplyDelete♥️🎶 open the eyes of my heart

Amen Audra. " Open the eyes of my heart Lord" I'm praying this for all of us on this Jesus Calling blog, for our loved ones, relatives and friends, Saved and unsaved.
DeleteThat those already in relationship with Him shall have their eyes opened to see Him at work in every situation and circumstance in their lives. For those unsaved, that He will open their eyes to the reality of Jesus Christ being Son of God, Lord and Savior.
Amen Peter, Janet and all the rest of JC family- blessings 🙏
DeleteYes, open wide the eyes😻of my heart, Oh Lord. I want to see past the grey, where You shine. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
DeleteThanks sweet Audra! I love that song and it lifted my heart so high this morning. Love you too!
DeleteReturning this morning for a refresh. "As you rejoice in this day of life, it will yield up to you precious gifts and BENEFICIAL TRAINING". Father, show me what you are doing, and help me trust that you never give me more than I can handle, thanks to you working through me. ✝️
ReplyDeleteBlessed be this day the Lord has made!
Praying for you dear Audra! God knows all our needs and provides them. Much love.
DeleteJC Family, please pray for my daughter. She is going back to the hospital for the third time since Wed. They can't find what is wrong with her. Father, You know what it is. Please heal her in the name of Jesus Christ.
ReplyDeleteGot her covered up in prayers, Norah.
DeleteThank You Lord for comforting Norah and her loved ones. Praying you give the medical team the wisdom to diagnose Norah's daughter.
DeleteCovering in prayers for healing, wisdom, strength and peace. 🙏
DeleteLifting up Norah's daughter, Jeanne and her son and family.
DeleteI thank You, Father God, that we sit in heavenly places in Christ Jesus far above all principalities powers, might and dominion. I come against any spirit of infirmity that has come against any of my JCFAMILY and family members. I Plead the Blood of Jesus over each of their bodies, their minds, their souls and spirits for healing, protection and deliverance in the Name and Authority of the Lord Jesus Christ, AMEN and AMEN. JJ
Jeremiah 33:6. "Nevertheless, I will bring health and healing to it; I will heal my people and let them enjoy abundant peace and security."
Dear Norah, Praying with my family here for your daughter's relief from pain, accurate assessment, proper treatment and perfect recovery. May she soon feel better because God is in charge!
DeleteThank you dear ones for your prayers too. Trusting God will answer ours and bring us and our dear ones healing, rest, restoration, peace and comfort. Thank You Jesus.
Another beautiful Psalm to remind us to come first to the Father in Thanksgiving and then call upon his holy name, the name of Jesus to bring us comfort, healing, peace, joy and hope.
ReplyDeleteMay the God of all hope fill you with peace and joy.
Shalom🙏
Amen dear Rich C! Thank you.
DeleteWhat a blessing to have Jesus as our Companion at all times. Just to see the light of day is enough for me to thank Him for His faithfulness. May we all see the reasons and our blessings to give Him thanks and praise today. No matter what is on our plates, He is with us to strengthen and guide us. As today's devotions says: "How precious are My children who remember to thank Me at all times. They can walk through the darkest days with Joy in their hearts because they know that the Light of My Presence is still shining on them", we know that our strength and help come from the Lord, from Him who made Heaven and Earth. He has equipped us well for whatever He sets before us. We are blessed and dearly loved. Draw close to Him and He will draw close to you. Seek Him and He will be found. He never leaves us even for a second.
ReplyDeleteJeremiah 29:12-13
Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.
Amen Jeanne 🙏. God bless you and peace be with you!
DeleteThanks sweet Janet! God's blessings and peace to you too! <3
DeleteWe are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is fitting, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all abounds toward each other. (2 Thessalonians 1:3). Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. (1 Chronicles 16:34). For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen. (Romans 11:36).
ReplyDeleteAmen and thank you!
DeleteThank You Lord for this day You have made. Thank You for the sunshine, the frosty clear morning. Thank You for the beautiful birdsong ringing out in the still morning air. Thank You for Your steadfast Love. Thank You that You have gone before us and prepared this day for us and prepared us for this day.
ReplyDeleteLamentations 3:22-23 "The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."
