I AM the Prince of Peace. As I said to My disciples, I say also to you: Peace be with you. Since I am your constant Companion. My Peace is steadfastly with you. When you keep your focus on Me, you experience both My Presence and My Peace. Worship Me as King of kings, Lord of lords, and Prince of Peace.Isaiah 9:6
You need My Peace each moment to accomplish My purposes in your life. Sometimes you are tempted to take shortcuts, in order to reach your goal as quickly as possible. But if the shortcut requires turning your back on My peaceful Presence, you must choose the longer route. Walk with Me along paths of Peace, enjoy the journey in My Presence.
English Standard Version
For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given;
and the government shall be upon his shoulder,
and his name shall be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
John 20:19-21
English Standard Version
19 On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being locked where the disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” 20 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. 21 Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.”
Psalm 25:4
New King James Version
Show me Your ways, O Lord;
Teach me Your paths.
My Prayer
Lord God, show me your ways, teach me your paths. I want to live according to your plans. Help me to understand that as I read your word and then I suppose I will have a decision whether to do it. Work in me life, through your Holy Spirit, to put a new way of thinking in me, so that my ways are all about bringing glory to You. You are the Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

ReplyDeleteAMEN!!!! Thank you for Payton family for the beautiful Christ glorifying Prayer.
ReplyDeleteSo perfect to read and pray for again. Today!

I want peace more than anything in my life. I pray constantly but can't stop my brain from replaying terrible things that have happened. I go to therapy weekly, take meds for depression, anxiety, OCD. God, send miracles. Help me trust that this too shall pass. Thank you Lord for Christian doctors and therapists. I know you rule but please send consistent peace. I'm open to see and hear you. Thank you for this blog that I can always turn to day or night. God bless you Payton family for doing the Lord's work. Thank you for listening.
ReplyDeleteYou are in my heart and prayers.
DeleteMay the Lord enable you to trust Him. Think about all the ways He has come through for you. When your mind goes back to negative things in the past, ask Him to reveal what lies you believe and to replace them with the truth. Ask Him where He was when.....
DeleteHe has always been with you and will bring good out of everything, even if you haven't seen it yet.
Prayers for you to realize He has left your mind with the peace that passes all understanding. You just have to tap into it with Him. ❤
So sorry...have peace my friend. JM
DeleteAnxiety is so real. You cannot turn off your brain. Prayer is the only thing that helps me. I recently cut out all caffeine and that is helping tremendously. Prayers for peace.
DeleteHow are you Trusting The Lord? Hopefully, your anxiety is in remission. I shall continue in prayer for and with you. Listening to Christian Music or reading The Psalms usually helps me. Blessings
DeleteGrateful to see the Lords people love,care and pray for one another. Reading these past prayers I also realized that I needed to ask the Lord to show me the lies that I believe and turn them into truths. Thank you all for your words and prayers of inspiration this morning. Sincere Love in Christ Jesus.
DeleteTrusting the Lord, wait on the Lord. The best is yet to come. Trust Him more than your feelings. When my 3rd son was born I suffered from a terrible case of postpartum depression. I prayed to get better. But I felt hopeless. I went to some doctors and tried medication but it wasn’t till much later that I found my God sent angel, a woman Doctor who found the perfect treatment that finally got me back to myself. It was the worst year of my life but it taught me many things. One was: You can never go back but you can go forward in God’s presence. Wait on the Lord. Even when you can’t see any light at the end of the tunnel, His light remains.
DeleteAmen!!!
DeleteDitto Jeanne! Even when I can't see it, He's working!
DeleteAmen! Peace comes to me while reciting the Lord's Prayer every time. ✝️🙏 Thank you Jesus!

Still loving this song. Thanks dear Min Ahadi.
DeletePraying for you also. Finding peace is never easy, "it passes understanding",but God is in the eye of each of your storms, grab hold of His hand, His strength will calm your spirit and give you sweet peace.
ReplyDelete2 yrs. Later Trusting the Lord, claiming the same prayer for you.🙏
DeleteThank you sweet ladies. I look at all the times he has been with me and I know he has never left my side. He loves us all so very much. I have such a hard time grasping my worth in Chrsit due to what I've been through. I want to walk out his plan, I want to stay on his path, and I want to trust him as I am in a very scary place and will be the next few months. Please join me in prayer over this matter. I will continue to pray for you all and your families. Riding the storm out holding his hand is where I want to be, but learn to step out of the boat with faith. Much love in Christ to you all.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry if I took an opportunity to ask for prayer as I didnt see the request from Trusting the Lord had a request. I will be in prayer for you as I just saw your post. I got you sister, but most of all he has you covered.
DeletePlease don't apologize, God wants us to ask for prayer. You are also in my heart and prayers.
DeleteSassy mom, you have been on my heart! So happy to see you on this lovely faithfilled blog again, I am praying for you, and all of our souls washed Lovely by our Prince of Peace!
DeleteNature Amy, it is perfectly OK to Ask our prayers for every need. We are Prayer Warriors.
DeletePrayer, Praise, and Thanksgiving to our Almighty God in the Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ is who we are and what we like to do- around the clock and around the world. Blessings!
Amen! Hope you are doing well Nature Amy. We are here to encourage and lift you in prayer at all times.
DeleteWe teach far and wide casting our net to pray for requests written and unwritten each day. It is an honor and a privilege to gather in thought with such amazing people that are found here. God bless the warriors of prayer and all come here.
DeleteOn this day in 2018, the Church begins a season of spiritual preparation for the celebration of Christmas. As we enjoy the physical activities of preparation for Christmas, so, too, it is healthy to get our souls ready. In fact, which would be better to have in order on Christmas Day, our outer world or our inner world, our heart and soul? The gospel lesson read today in many churches is Luke 21:25-28, 34-36. Jesus admonishes His followers when the world is plunging into a state of confusion and despair, we must stand up and hold our heads high for our redemption is near (vs. 28). We are to cling feverishly to hope in darkened times, both our own and the world’s. Vs. 36 admonishes us to live in expectation of that redemption and to be constant in prayer as today’s reading encourages us and as we encourage one another. Thank you for the words of encouragement you spoke to each other above. It is the spirit of the Luke passage. I will pray for you, too. God be with you,
ReplyDeleteLove Luke!!!♥️
DeleteThank you Lord for this community of love. It is beyond words how much this helps me. Thank you all and God bless
ReplyDeleteStay with Mr always god please
ReplyDeleteI have experienced all of these problems and still do. When they get overwhelming I just say, Jesus, Jesus, over and over again. Almost instantly my mind clears and the bad thoughts go away. Without prayer I would be dead. My favorite scripture is 2 Corinthians 12:9-10. My prayers are with you.
ReplyDeleteWhen we become Christians, the truth of God should be utmost in our thoughts as we love Him with all our mind. One way of measuring that is how often Scripture is cycling through our thoughts, leading us to praise and adoration.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - My favorite scripture is 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 AMEN, AMEN, AMEN!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBut he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Corinthians 12:9-10
Amen, Sassy Mom. Beautiful scripture. Heaven sent. KS
DeleteAmen Sassy Mom! Thank you for that hearty snack for my soul. I love it also.
DeleteScripture lifts me up and is always what I need, when I need it. There are no coincidences here on this blog which is why I come here more and more often.
DeleteFor that I thank the Payton family, author Sarah Young, and all who post here. ♥️🙏
DeleteBlessings to each of you...peace is ours as we claim it. Prayers for safe travels for my daughter and all those on the roads and in the air today. Peace for those who have lost loved ones. Counting my blessings - my JC Family is right there at the top!
ReplyDeleteNorah
Norah, Prayers to your daughter on her journey - and praying for your brother-in-law that he rests in peace and in God's wonderful arms. KS
DeleteThank You Lord for my December of abundant harvest. I receive it all in the name of Jesus. For life this morning, Thank You. For taking my family back home safely, Thank You. For everything, THANK YOU FATHER!
ReplyDelete"He redeemed us in order that the blessings given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise if the Spirit" Galatians 3:14
"And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of Grace and truth". John 1:14
JC family, I trust You all had a wonderful thanksgiving regardless of anything, because it was just another day to glorify and thank our Lord for the good and the bad. Kneeling in prayers for all the requests and trusting our Saviour.
The word says, 'by Faith we receive the Promise', so let's worship the King of kings, Prince of Peace and walk with Him along the paths of peace that He has given to us.
Have a blessed and fruitful day.

Thank you dear Lord for blessings received! Amen.

DeleteThank you sweet Brie for your lovely prayer and beautiful song. Thank you dear BFF, Kathy and KS for your prayers. And all the prayers of my dear JC Family. I will be praying for you on my car ride to the City. Going to Columbia Medical Center in Manhattan. My procedure is at 1 PM but they want me there at 11:45. I already prayed with my Mom and Sis and I will be surrounded by prayer and my loving Father’s peace. My Doctor’s hands will be guided by God’s Eye. Looking forward to good news to share with you all and more victory dances and Brie’s singing. Love you all!
DeleteJoining you all in prayer, my week was so busy I thought James surgery was yesterday. Extending all those prayers to today, focused on all at Columbia Medical Center in Manhattan who are lucky enough to meet Jeanne and witness the Lord's Peace in her. From my heart to yours today, sister in Christ, His strength be with you. ♥️🙏

Delete👋🏼 Hey JC family. I asked for prayer earlier in the fall but I need your prayers again. I have law school finals this week, and my grades help to determine my job prospects. Please join me in prayer as I ask for understanding, that the Lord will help me recall what I’ve learned, and that I can communicate effectively. I’m working diligently for Him, but I need his strength. Thank you guys 🙃
ReplyDeletePraying for our Lord to precede, be with, and follow you Landon. As you work to achieve success, I thank Him for being with you.
DeleteJoining in prayers for you Landon. You're doing your part and God is taking care of the rest and filling you with His strength and guidance. In Jesus name. Amen.
DeleteBlessings from France
I just prayed for you Landon. God Bless you and keep you at peace. You've got this through Him!!
DeleteLandon, praying for you. Trust that the Lord will see you through from the start of this journey to where He wants you, glorifying His name at every turn.
DeleteLandon - Praying that you will be at peace and receive our Lord's strengths and blessings as you take your finals. Best wishes and God's Peace. KS
DeletePraying God provides clarity and understanding of your exam questions so that the answers come easily to your mind, Landon. If you find yourself getting anxious, say to yourself or out loud, if possible, "I trust you, Jesus!". When I do this, I feel an immediate exhale and all anxiousness dissipates. May you feel His presence along side you thru your exams and in your law career!
DeletePraying for you Landon that your testing will go very well. Rest in the Lord who loves you. God’s Spirit will help your mind remember all that you have learned. Your test results will be more good fruit to give God glory. Thank you Father for this in the Name of Your Son Jesus Christ.
DeleteLandon, the light of God surrounds you during your finals and contains all you need to be successful. Ask and trust and it is made evident when you need it. In Jesus's name we pray, Amen.
DeleteBless you Landon as you pursue your career. We need more Christ oriented attorneys in this disoriented world.
Delete👋🏼 LANDON, How are you doing today?
DeleteEchoing Brie's prayer to Jehovah Rapha for our beloved Jeanne. Praying for God to guide the hands of the surgeon and those assisting. We love you and are praying you well!!!!!!

Fix that physical hole in Jeanne's heart Lord... we know the Spirit within and she have a perfect heart in Christ. Be with Landon, give peace to all. Amen.
DeleteThank you dear Brie, Maplewood and MadFox!
DeleteMy dear brothers and sisters! Thank you for your sincere prayers.. My heart is fixed thank God!!! Turned out the doctor had some problems in putting in the device. It took longer. The first device wouldn't open and close properly so he removed it and replaced it and then he got it in right. But then he couldn't release the cable from it. He eventually got it loose. He said it went well and the hole is closed. Jesus was with me and I could feel all your prayers. They have to monitor me carefully now to make sure I am not bleeding or clotting. They put me on blood thinner and aspirin. They want to keep me here to make sure I'm okay but I am blessed and so thankful. And very hungry. Praise God for His great faithfulness 😊💗. Love you all!
Thanks for the update Jeanne.
DeleteI am starting my Thank You God prayers!
Rest.
Trust in Jesus And He Will Show You The Right Way To Live Your Life And To Take Care Of Your Family. This Will Build The Faith That Jesus Tells You To Have. 🐿. 👨👩👧👦. 👍. 🦆

DeleteMost Loving Father, I thank You for another day of life, another day to give thanks for all of Your goodness, mercy and grace. I humble myself before You and ask not anything for myself today, but for Your Peace, strength, comfort for my sis-in-Christ whose daughter went to be home with You on Sunday. Hearing the news this morning and reading the devotion reminder of You as our Prince of Peace, is comfort in and of itself. I pray dear Lord, that You saturate this mother whose ONLY 16 year child has left this world. She is in a state of shock, sadness and fear, but You, her PRINCE of PEACE is with her. Grant her that solace, allow her to accept that peace and strength that only You can provide, ready and waiting for her to receive. I pray for the rest of the family and as the days and weeks go by, may they see the Light at the end of this dark tunnel they are in right now. Thank You for being their comforter, their strength and allowing them to walk in the path of Peace. Her joy seems to be gone now, her heart is sick within her and her grief seems beyond healing, but she may find comfort knowing that You are never going to leave nor forsaking her. Surround her with Your love as with a shield, I pray this in Jesus’ name. Amen.
ReplyDeleteJC family, Please join me in prayer for sis Jane and her family. God bless.
Blessings and Peace.

Thank you Lord for all these blessings only You can give. Thank you for being the light and right hand that walk them through the darkness. Thank you Lord. ����
DeleteBlessings from France
God already knows the depth of Jane’s sorrow. He sees the tears and is right there under the covers with her comforting her shattered heart. He is the only one who can lift her out of her misery, dry her tears and shine light on her path.. I can’t even imagine her grief losing an only child. My heart goes out to hee. Joining in all prayers for God’s comfort, guidance, strength and a peace that only comes from knowing He is her God and understands exactly how she feels. May she feel His love and presence surrounding her. She will be with her daughter again.
DeleteOur Father in heaven I pray for Jane so full of sorrow for her child. Turn her sorrow into joy as you did your mother. Pour your amazing grace over Jane. AMEN!
DeleteLord bless this family in their grief. We don't understand and yet we trust in you. ♥️🙏
DeleteHello Mapelwood I pray your sister in law is feeling stronger one year later. May God keep walking with her and comforting her in this new journey !
DeleteRest in the Lord sweet Jeanne. He is holding you ever so close. Thank you Jesus, merciful Father, divine healer. We trust in your care for our sister. Amen!
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Loveconquersall. He sure is holding me close! And healing all my weaknesses. God bless you Sister.
Delete"Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord." (Hebrews 12:14). "For whoever would love life and see good days must keep their tongue from evil and their lips from deceitful speech. They must turn from evil and do good; they must seek peace and pursue it." (1 Peter 3:10-11). "In peace I will lie down and sleep, for You alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety." (Psalm 4:8). "Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace." (Ephesians 4:3). "For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace." (Romans 8:6). "Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness." (James 3:18).
ReplyDeleteAmen! We are called to keep the peace and be peacemakers. We must seek peace in the most difficult situations because like God's presence, so also is His peace. It is always there even when it seems like the sky is falling. No one can take it away from us unless we permit it. Just love James 3:18. We reap what we sow. So we should sow in peace and reap a harvest of rightousness. Thanks dear Janet!
DeleteAmen, peace sweet peace. Hallelujah!
DeleteJanet, Min Ahadi - Amen!!! https://youtu.be/5AH_BMw5axU
DeleteSassy Mom, thank you for pulling that memory out of a hat for me: Third grade choir 🎵song, and one of my favorites ❤when I was a kid.
DeleteContinued prayers for Jane lifting up her grief on her daughter's passing a year later...May she have the continued comfort of the Lord through her family, and be able to have joy in her cherished memories.
I join in these prayers for the peacemakers and pacemakers. For all requests for healthy outcomes and healings. His arms can hold it all. Thank you Jesus. I trust you Jesus! I love you Jesus!
DeleteJesus is our Prince of Peace amidst the stormy times of life. There is no storm that He cannot calm. There is no obstacle too big for Him to overcome. He calmly faces the angry storms of life and says, “Peace be still.” No storm can continue to rage when He takes control of it. In Christ we discover that no matter what the stormy season of our lives may be like, we can overcome them through Him. His presence reassures us that our storms do not determine or define our lives. We can face positively our storms knowing we do not face them alone. He is our Immanuel and does for us what we cannot do on our own. Things may continue to be stormy for a season, but we know that the storms do pass and on the other side of every storm there is calm, sunshine, and peace. We praise Him in the midst of the storm because we know that the victory is ours in Christ Jesus. No storm can take us away from our Lord when we let Him hold our hand in the storm

DeletePEACE BE STILL by Hope Darst
♥️🎶 listening
DeleteThank Brie that song is extra special
DeleteHeavenly Father, thank You for granting me Your perfect peace in my life. Your Presence supersedes everything else. You are so amazing and wonderful and I can't do anything apart from You and Your Presence of peace within me. Show me and teach me Your ways. Guide, mold, and transform me into Your image and remove these fleshly desires, thoughts, and ways from me. Replace them with Your Spirit and Presence. Help me to walk in Your Spirit and not in my flesh. Help me to follow Your lead along the path You have prepared for me and do not let me stray from it. Hold my hand tightly and let me share with You all the joys and pleasures of Your heart. Reveal to me what I need to know and let me be aware of Your Presence in everything, everywhere. Anoint me with the oil of Your Spirit, peace, love, and joy and let the Holy Spirit drip from me and rub off on others. I praise You Lord always. Thank You Jesus. Thank You for all my benefits and blessings Lord. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen.
ReplyDeleteAmen! Janet, We are all weak because we are human but we also embody the Spirit of God, our constant Helper. When we are tempted to stray from the right path, His Spirit nudges us back onto the straight and narrow. Pleasing God is much more important than pleasing ourselves. We are called to be selfless instead of selfish. But what a blessing it is that our loving Father forgives our sins and lifts us up out of the messes we get ourselves into because He loves us unconditionally. His promises are reliable because He is divine and cannot lie. We can stake our whole lives on the truthfulness of His Words. Hold onto His Unchanging Hand and He will lead you dear sister to all the joy, peace, comfort He has prepared for you. The best is yet to come.
DeleteThank you dear sisters for encouraging prayers🙏💕

DeleteA Testimony of finding Peace.
ReplyDeleteOur son Andrew ( now 47, phew!) In his late teens was studying Sociology. Part of his research involved flying out to the border of Zimbabwe and South Africa to catalog the needs ( Health, Hygiene, Electricity, running water etc) of the local tribes in several villages along the Limpopo river. Not possible to communicate with him I started having fear attacks. It got so bad that I had difficulty working, could think of nothing else but what possible danger he may be in, (from animals, croc's etc and humans- he was camping out) even thought I lifted him constantly in prayer to The Lord.
One day, walking from my office to the plant I just about froze with fear, a real panic attack, thinking of Andrew. I stopped walking. I said ' Lord, this isn't right , Andrew knows You, loves You. I trust You with him. From now on it's hands off from me, I hand him over to You. He's Your child, You will keep him safe according to Your plans and purpose for his life. Sorry for not trusting You fully, Amen. From that moment on, I had instant peace, joy even, that God would take good care of Andrew. The Prince of Peace came through. Ever since, whenever I start to worry I do the same thing, whatever it is I say 'Lord I hand this to You, You please take care of it' Peace reigns. And if the anxiety or fear returns? I simply repeat Lord I trust You, I give this situation to You.
May this help those who have difficulty getting rid of fear or anxiety.
Thank You Peter!
DeleteOh thanks so much for sharing this Peter, I have an 8 year old who keeps me on my toes from the sommersaults to the ,skating or swimming. She is God's first and mine second ....so I will place her in His arms ! Wonderful words of encouragement. I live in Nairobi Kenya and that some parts of Africa its just you and God . Please let us know when your son is back home again. In the meantime we will pray for him .
DeleteThank you dear Peter!! May God keep your good son safe and healthy. We must put all our worries and fears in God’s able Hands and walk in peace with a lighter load.
DeleteAmen dear Min, Continuing to pray for you and your sweet daughter. Our loving Father walks with you both. Thank You Jesus!
I don't remember who shared it here a while back, but there is an app called THE PAUSE. It has done for me what you shared, Peter. The meditation begins with "Jesus, I give everyone and everything to you Lord. Everyone and everything to you..." It is an instant peaceful reality check. Thank you again to whoever shared that on this blog ♥️🙏
DeleteJan, I receive your blessing, thank you for loving me. Echoing your prayers. Agreeing with and thanking NJS Health Guru mentioning natural supplements.
ReplyDeleteRECOVERING
ReplyDeleteRecovering is choosing. Recovering is letting go and moving on. Recovering is learning. Recovering is gathering up the fragmented pieces of our earthly life, and choosing to give them to Jesus in exchange for HIS PEACE because We need HIS PEACE each moment of our life to accomplish His purposes in our life.
Recovering is inventorying what we have left and choosing to use it with a thanking heart. Recovering is choosing to be an example of a thankful person who always chooses to say, I CAN DO ALL THINGS I NEED TO DO THROUGH CHRIST WHO GIVES ME STRENGTH. GOD IS ON MY SIDE, THY WILL BE DONE!
Dear Heavenly Father God, Thank You for bringing Your Healing Recovery into our life and creating Your Beauty in exchange for our ashes; Your Joy in exchange for our mourning; Your Praise in exchange for our heavily burdened, anxious and failing spirit, and for helping us choose to press on instead of quitting, until we find Your Healing and experience YOUR PEACE In Jesus' Name. For all of us, I ask. I seek. I knock. I praise. I thank. I yield. Amen.
Praying with you and for you sweet Brie! May today bring you closer to perfect health. Keep God in the Center and all things will come together. Thank You Father for this in the Name of Christ Jesus.
DeleteThank you for recovery prayers on all our behalf, Brie. Often I feel like I'm in a prayer parade here with you and JJ directing our music and steps. Love you! Love a parade! ♥️ Onward Christian soldiers!
Delete😁 I love the visual of a Prayer Parade, Audra. JJ is Definitely the Lead Drum Majorette, keeping satan from tripping us up and crossing back and forth across our paths! The parade music continues. Love you! Love a parade! ♥️ Onward Christian soldiers! As our Jan gridley might say, The Christian Soldiers are on it!...
DeletePS...and we're not getting off our parade route, so get away from us satan, or we're going to tell JJ.
Ain't nothin gonna rain on OUR PARADE!
DeleteThanks for sharing this story, Peter. It goes right along with what I've been trying to do with keeping God on the throne versus any worry, anxiety, fear, etc. When you came to the realization of how worry/panic had taken over and had pretty much been put up on the throne, you came-to so to speak of, "hey, wait a minute!...I need God back up there and if He's there, I know Andrew will be safe!" You must have felt instant relief when that thought washed over you, Peter! I have been trying hard to do the same with things when my mind starts to worry. We have to recalculate where our minds are taking us and reprogram that God is in control!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thursday and blessings of healing to one and all JC family to you, your family and friends! In Jesus' great name, AMEN!
Thanks again for the Throne visual, NJS. I have been using it since I read it in your post. It helps me rearrange and refocus my priorities.
DeleteAmen to that Brie! Thanks Nancy! We must keep Him on the Throne instead of worry and fear! He is above it all!
DeleteDear Lord, help me to stay focused on you and receive your PEACE. Continue to find me worthy to receive this blessing. Help me to know its YOUR PEACE that helps me with any worry and anxiety. These are useless emotions that only I bring into my life when I wander from YOU! Amen.
ReplyDeleteThanks dear ABC! I’ll do my best not to wander from Him today and I’ll try to remember I am always surrounded by His sweet peace.
DeleteFirst Thursday in Advent
ReplyDelete(continuing from yesterday)
1Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.
2 Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the Lord's hand double for all her sins.
3 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
4 Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:
5 And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. (Isaiah 40:1-5 (KJV))
(Another recording of the first selection Handel’s oratorio, Messiah)
Comfort Ye, Comfort Ye, My People
"Comfort ye and Ev'ry valley" from Handel's Messiah
Where Isaiah 1-39 primarily speaks of the judgment of deportation because of the children of God’s unfaithfulness, Isaiah 40-66 is all about homecoming. As stated in yesterday’s devotion, chapter 40 begins with the announcement of the forgiveness of sins and an end to the misery that sin brings upon the people. That being said, Handel changes the music for vs. 3-5 to give a feeling of skipping and, in my opinion, that is exactly what the LORD wanted to convey to My people. We are now coming home (in those days, to Jerusalem; in our time, the presence of God) and the triumphant procession is being led by the LORD. The valleys, places in life of deep darkness (grief, heartache, depression), will be lifted up as will those who dwell in them; the mountains, those places of egotism and pride which alienate one from God, will be humbled; the crooked, those distractions that slow down one’s growth of faith will be straightened out; and the rough places, all the stumbling blocks and hindrances to faith encountered in life will be cleared away. With the path home to God smoothed out, certainly skipping is in order.
The LORD proclaimed through Isaiah that the LORD , God’s very self, was going to do this and it was done on a Friday outside Jerusalem on a garbage dump called Calvary. Evil is defeated, victory is won and we can return home, both in the present moment as we continue our trek along the highway of life in faith and forever hereafter upon our arrival.
Let the candle of HOPE burn brightly on the Advent wreath. Let the HOPE fill you so the glory of the LORD is revealed and all flesh will see it together.
With love, Bob
First Wednesday in Advent
ReplyDeleteComfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.
Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the Lord's hand double for all her sins.
The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:
And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. (Isaiah 40:1-5 (KJV))
Comfort Ye, Comfort Ye, My People
Messiah (Handel): "Comfort ye, my people" and "Every valley shall be exalted" (Paul Elliott)
My initial thought for today is to look at an advent hymn I don’t recall ever singing, to be open to something new (there can be wonderful things sometimes under stones we have not overturned). The hymn is Comfort, Comfort You My People written by Johannes Olearius in the 1600’s and translated by Catherine Winkworth in the 1800’s. But in doing a search for a performance of this hymn all that came up were presentations of the beginning of the Messiah by Handel. Hmmm, my original plan became a distant second to one of the greatest compositions of music of all time. The Bible eternally stands as the LORD’s inspired recording of His mighty works on the world’s behalf, but the Messiah gets close to that level because it is all scripture. A good Advent experience can be attending or listening to this blessing the LORD inspired through Handel.
The book of Isaiah takes a dramatic turn in chapter 40 which is where the Messiah begins. The chosen people of God are in exile in Babylon because of their unfaithfulness to the LORD. Scholars believe there are upward to 160 years between chapter 39 and chapter 40. Clearly a time of great misery for the people. But what can be expected when one is unfaithful to God? Can anything good come from not loving the LORD? We can expect no good future when unfaithfulness is our choice in our relationship with God anymore than we could jump out of a window on the second floor and expect to land safely on the ground. God’s laws, like the laws of science, are given for our wellbeing; the LORD has created gravity for our good as much as our LORD’s laws to love are for the unity and harmony of all creation. But humanity’s faithfulness to loving God and all others has fallen far short of perfect and thus there is all the ill in the world. We live in exile from peace, joy, and love. Pretty sad? Is there any hope?
Comfort ye, comfort ye, (a double imperative the LORD uses to make this emphatic) are the words spoken by the LORD after a long period of His silence due to His children’s misbehavior. The second verse shows the LORD’s compassion for His people. you and me, that we have suffered long enough the consequences for failing to observe the law of love. The compassion of our LORD is that our iniquity is pardoned. That is a part of the HOPE for which we lit the first candle of the Advent wreath, the LORD of all is a pardoning God and we can HOPE for things to get better solely because the One who has authority over all of creation is forgiving by nature.
May you be comforted today knowing that in spite of any and all unloving behavior, the LORD has compassion for you; in the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven.
To be continued…
With love, Bob
I'm excited, the"guys" are ON IT behind the scenes doing what ever it takes to keep us all eyes on the focus for Advent. Thank you BOB, MAD🦊 and CHRIS PAYTON!

My Heavenly Father, I so appreciate You and I am so thankful that You are Lord over my situation and my body.
ReplyDeleteI Declare, Father, that I am free by The Blood of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. I am free to serve You, Father, in every way, shape, or form. No man or enemy can stand against me all the days of my life. As You, Father, was with Moses, You will be with me. I will NOT be afraid! I will NOT bow down! I will NOT cower! I will NOT be moved, because You, Father, are on my side! Whom shall I fear? I Declare, that NO force of Hell shall be able to prevent the manifestation of Your plan, Father, for my life, in this year and in 2023. And, Father, as it is prophesied in Habakkuk 2:14 I ask that You fill the world with Your Knowledge and Your Glory, as the waters cover the sea. I ask in the Mighty Name of Jesus, AMEN and AMEN. JJ
Joining in prayers with you JJ and Jeanne. Our God is the only true God Almighty and NOTHING or NOONE is above Him!

Praying with you and for you dear JJ. God has absolute power over all things, all situations, all infirmities. He holds our future right in His Hands. Right now, He is loving us and caring for us. Nothing can separate us from the love of God, and His Healing, and His Comfort, and His Light, and His Peace. He is our forever Friend, Physician, Shepherd, Leader and Stronghold. We can do all things through Christ Who strengthens us. All things are possible in Christ Jesus. So I continue to thank Him for blessing you in every way, strengthening all your weaknesses, and answering your prayers, dear sister. So much love to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteIsaiah 4l:10
Fear thou not; for I am with thee:
be not dismayed; for I am thy God:
I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee;
yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
Amen 🙏. God bless you sister.
DeleteHallelujah! AMEN!
DeleteBut this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God, from that time waiting till His enemies are made His footstool. For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified. (Hebrews 10:12-14). I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; for You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety. (Psalm 4:8). Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. (Romans 5:1).

DeleteMy Rick got the booster 2 days ago and he has been having chills, heart palpitations and he feels breathless. He went to the doctor this morning and although his symptoms are mainly from the shot, he must have an Echo at 11 today. Praying God will bring him good results and take away all his symptoms. Thank You Jesus.
Thankful for the many blessings here and covering you all in prayer. May we find rest in the presence of the one who gave us a peace that surpasses all understanding. Jesus, Our Savior and Lord, the Prince of Peace.
DeleteShalom🙏
Thank you for those powerful prayers for Rick. He's doing much better and the doctor said his heart is strong. My sister's husband's friend John was on dialysis for a long time. Finally got a kidney and he was doing well. Then his meds were changed. He got two infections and he is now on life support. Thank you for praying for a miracle from our amazing God to bring him back, heal his infections and kidney and give him and his wife Pam peace of mind. Trusting in God's Faithfulness. Thank You Jesus.

ReplyDeleteHello to all of you beautiful people that love our Lord. May I ask for prayer from terrible anxiety as I tried to start a new job only after resigning from one of almost 21 yrs. And will be resigning now from this job soon. I want to confess to Jesus if I didn’t listen clearly to HIS plans for my life as so overcome with fears of the future especially finances. God has taken such miraculous care why would I doubt. Pls Lord help us all to feel your constant companionship as we are never alone.
ReplyDeleteJoining in prayer with Brie for Katie. Keep a firm focus on Jesus, Katie. He is our Mighty Warrior, who makes a way when there doesn't seem to be a way.

He has given you your gifts and talents so He knows exactly where you will shine to give Him glory. Trust that He will continue to provide for your needs and He will guide you to a place where you'll be able to work and feel His peace surround you. Trust in His faithfulness.

Trust in His Word and know that if He brings you to an open door, He will equip you for whatever lies beyond it. Thank You Jesus!

DeleteYesterday was such a blessing. And I stayed close to the Lord and felt His peace and His love. My mom was worried the visit from my middle son’s family would be too much for her. But she had a very nice time, although she did nap right through lunchtime. Being with my grands, Gabriel and Nathaniel, was just what I needed. Jesus helped me get a good lunch ready and later to guide the boys to make gingerbread. The kitchen was a mess but they were thrilled to be making cookies with Nani! They added the ingredients and loved using my measuring cups and spoons. They needed help rolling out the dough but they cut the cookies out. Of course Nathaniel’s cookies all overlapped each other because he’s only 3. When the cookies were finally on the cookie sheets, I took out red and green sprinkles and they had a ball! Gabriel wanted a piece of paper and a marker so I gave it to him. Later he handed me a little card and on the front he had drawn a large pink cross and inside he wrote: Shepherd me O God. The last time we were together he told me he loved that song and I told him I did too, and we were singing it! He has a strong faith and God gave him a beautiful voice and a beautiful heart. Their dad, Greg had told me he doesn’t believe in God but I know Gabriel’s faith will change his dad’s heart around. God will soften it because I always pray he will turn back to Jesus. My dear DIL Mayra is now taking Gabriel to church every week. I believe Greg will see the Light of Christ in them. Thank You Jesus. What a sweet boy Gabriel is! He’s six now and he’s so loving. He was trying to braid my hair with little success. He asked me to put my long hair into braids so I did. So many sweet moments. And after they went home, I gave my mom dinner and she said I was blessed to have such a lovely family. And then she said God has blessed her so much too but she wants Him to take her to Heaven so she can be with my dad. I told her only He can decide when that will happen. She said she’s tired of living. Well she’s 96 so she must be tired. We talked about Heaven and the night was sweet. After we prayed and I put her to bed, I went downstairs and did the dishes. Then I spoke to Rick. Rick He’s coming today and staying overnight. I’m so glad. My sonogram is tomorrow and I’m praying for good results. And Rick has an MRI the next day. Praying all will go well and he won’t have prostate cancer. I know the Lord will guide it all to good, so I’m resting in His unchanging peace. Praying He is answering my prayers and all our prayers. Let us be still in His presence and feel His love, light, strength, and peace. All will be well because His promises are true.
ReplyDeleteThank You Heavenly Father for all the blessings you have given us; thank You for Your healing power and Your Grace. Thank You for loving us exactly as we are, and for answering our prayers according to Your Will and Plan. We trust You because You are Goid and Faithful. We know You stand by Your Word. Thank You for covering everyone here with Your Healing power and Peace and for answering our prayers and healing our dear ones in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Psalm 103:2-5
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
And forget not all His benefits:
Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,
Who redeems your life from destruction,
Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
Who satisfies your mouth with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
John 14:27
Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Jeanne, your post has blessed me tremendously. Thank you 😊. It is so good to hear all the wonderful things that the Lord is doing in your family's lives. It's so sweet to hear about the children and I can almost picture both Gabriel and Nathaniel in the kitchen with you making cookies. I'm glad to hear that Rick is coming to spend time with you and I'm glad your mom is doing well. May God continue blessing you all! Peace be with you 🙏.
