🕊️ LORD, I cry out to You;

Make haste to me!

Give ear to my voice when I cry out to You.

Let my prayer be set before You as incense,

The lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth;

Keep watch over the door of my lips.

Do not incline my heart to any evil thing,

To practice wicked works with men who work iniquity;

And do not let me eat of their delicacies.🕊️

Psalms 141:1-4

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good morning Father!

Thank You for this day!

Thank You for my life!

Thank You for my sweet bride!

Thank You for My beautiful daughter!

All I am and all I possess, they are blessings from your. Hand O Lord!

Thank You!

I arose this early morning, with a song in my heart, yet I didn’t recognize it.

I finished my morning prayers, then my morning routine, while sitting at the table just off our kitchen. 

I took my morning hand full of medications, ate some fruit and administered the eye drops as I do daily.

It was when I reached for one of my scripture reference booklets I use to compose my “Morning Prayers” post for my “Webholyman” Blog, “One minute prayers for men”, that’s when I found the song I rose to playing in my heart and my mind. 

I changed the page and moved the book ribbon attached, over to the next scripture reference, which is the Word I use in this morning’s post. 

As I read and then typed the scripture, I heard that music and words sung in my head, although not totally clear, mainly the chorus. 

I stopped my morning post creating, and I began looking up the song to the scripture words, so I might have closure in hearing the complete song and what I felt was a great message to focus on throughout my day.

I found it! 

It was a song created by a man, Marty, here in Washington, while at his musical residency stay at Holden Village, a recreation village in Washington.

I played it several times and sang along with it in a low voice so as not to wake up my family.

Then I was able to come back here, to my post and share the experience with you in today’s blog.

It doesn’t happen every day but quite often, in reading my morning scripture, I find an image, or a song, or some reference to scripture or devotion, taking God’s Word and crafting a message or simply including it in my morning prayer.

Father God, thank You for Your Word, and the Spirit of Your Word I find in my heart or by reading, I often receive my daily blessings just being close to You.

I lift up my family before You Father, I pray for their safety, that they seek Your Spirit’s leading and find rest in Your Word.

I pray You fill me this day afresh, with Your light, flowing through me and shining bright in and through me, in all I say  and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 

Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints— and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. 🕊️

Ephesians 6:10-20

Good morning Father!

Thank You for this day!

Thank You for my life!

Thank You for my sweet bride, Amy!

Thank You for our beautiful daughter, Selah!

In all we are and all we possess, we see You O Lord, blessing us with all things.

Thank You Father!

I lift up my eyes towards the heavens in the morning sky

I see You there watching over all things

I feel Your Spirit’s presence within me and flowing through me.

May Your angels guard over my family this day, and keep them safe.

Bless my children Father, may Your Spirit lead them and teach them Your Way and the path to follow as children of the light.

I lift up the sick and suffering in this world O Lord, may they receive Your mercy and grace in their healing and relief from their suffering.

My heart feels the pain of all parents who have lost a child, may Your Spirit comfort them and give them peace.

Above all Lord, may Your Spirit fill me this day and may Your light shine bright in and through all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another; not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality. 🕊️

Romans 12:9-13

Good morning Father!

Thank You for this day!

Thank You for my life!

Thank You for my Sweet Bride Amy!

Thank You for our beautiful daughter!

All the best we could hope for and experience, You have blessed us with O Lord.

These past 27 years of marriage, to my sweet bride, they have been awesome and very special to me. 

Thank You Father for Your Holy Spirit and blessing our time together!

I am so excited to our celebrating together this evening.

I look forward to all the best of the years to come, and special moments and memories with the one and only person who could provide me with all the best I could imagine, starting with a very bright friendship and someone I can share my every thought, without judgement, always a positive response, such a Caring, Loving walk together.

Thank You Lord!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ One person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. 

Let each be fully convinced in his own mind. 

He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it. 

He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he who does not eat, to the Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks. 

For none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself. 

For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. 

Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s. 

For to this end Christ died and rose and lived again, that He might be Lord of both the dead and the living. 

But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? 

For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. 

For it is written:

“As I live, says the LORD,

Every knee shall bow to Me,

And every tongue shall confess to God.”

So then each of us shall give account of himself to God. 

Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather resolve this, not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother’s way.

Romans 14:5-13

Good morning Father!

Thank You for this day!

Thank You for my life!

Thank You for my sweet bride!

Thank You for my beautiful daughter!

“I count all as loss for the gospel of Jesus Christ!”

Thank You O Lord, for Your Holy Word!  As Paul wrote, “But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord,…” (Philippians 3:7-8)

I meditate on Your Word Lord, relating to what was written, having my own transforming experience and how much the Word and the Way is a part of me. 

As I live and breathe, I pray daily for Your Spirit O Lord, to Fill me and use me as a beacon of Your light, and Hope,  for all who walk aimlessly in the darkness around me.

I post my prayers and Your Holy Word, that the lost, in finding them, might read and be blessed, finding You above all things, a new beginning and walk of Faith, Believing on the name of Jesus Christ, as Lord and Savior. 

I lift up All my children, I lift up All my grandchildren, and I lift up All my great grandchildren, to You O Lord! I pray Your Spirit rest upon each of them this day, may their lives echo my heart’s passion, sharing this Faith and Hope which burns inside me. May their works exceed my works and may their Faith and path to Your light beam bright into the darkness around them.

Thank You for hearing me Father!

Bless me this day, fill my mind and heart with Your Holy Word.

May I always shine Your Light first, in all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.

For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. 🕊️

Romans 13:8-10

Good morning Father!

Thank You for this day!

Thank You for my life!

Thank You for my sweet bride!

Thank You for my beautiful daughter!

All my possessions and valuables Father, are wrapped up in my Faith and the Loved ones You have blessed me with in this life.

Thank You!

I pray Father, Fill Me with Your Spirit, expand my mind with the knowledge and understanding I might use to share Your Love, in the most rudimentary ways one can understand.

May I share Your Word and its Truth to others in words they understand. 

May I share more than my life story, but the ways in which Your Love for me saved me, and how Your mercy and compassion changed my life and the path of destruction I was headed, averted altogether.

I lift up All my children and All my grandchildren before You Father. 

May the light of Your Word touch their souls and cause them to action, the actions of Love and Compassion towards others around them who wander in the darkness. 

May Your Holy Spirit bless them with healing words they speak and strengthen their understanding of true Love. 

Dress them in Your full armor O Lord, to challenge and be challenged in every interaction with the unbelieving world around them. 

May they live and work amongst others who have themselves come to believe the very same Word they follow, Your Word and Your Way.

Thank You Father for All my Children and Grandchildren!

I pray You keep them safe this day.

May I walk this day in the Unity of Your Holy Spirit, and may Your Holy Light shine bright, in all I say and do, in Jesus’s name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ Repay no one evil for evil. 

Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. 

If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. 

Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. 

Therefore “If your enemy is hungry, feed him;

If he is thirsty, give him a drink;

For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.”

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. 🕊️

Romans 12:17-22

Good morning Father!

Thank You for this day!

Thank You for my life!

Thank You for my sweet bride!

Thank You for my beautiful daughter!

Thank You Father, for Your angels watching over my loved ones, while they were away last evening.

All that I am and all that I possess, they are blessings from You O Lord.

Thank You!

I lift up my children before You Lord, I lift up my grandchildren before You O Lord, may they be blessed this day in their coming and goings. May they walk with a sense of Your Peace, knowing, by Faith, their trust is in You Father.

I thank You for their lives, for the little time I had with them, and for those I have never met, may they somehow feel or sense my love for them in You Father. Bless them and keep them safe.

I pray You fill me with Your Spirit this day O Lord.

May I hear Your Word and rejoice in it, as I always do. 

May I hear the songs of praise and my countenance be lifted up.

May I sense Your Spirit within me to shine Your Holy light in the darkness around me, in all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ Let love be without hypocrisy. 

Abhor what is evil. 

Cling to what is good. 

Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another; not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality.

Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 

Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. 

Be of the same mind toward one another. 

Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. 

Do not be wise in your own opinion. 🕊️

Romans 12:9-16

Thank You for my life!

Thank You for my sweet bride!

Thank You for my beautiful daughter!

All that I am and all I possess, they are blessings from You O Lord!

Bless me this day Lord. 

May Your Spirit rest on me today, and may Your light shine in and through me today, in all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ Bless the LORD, O my soul;

And all that is within me, bless His holy name!

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.

The LORD executes righteousness

And justice for all who are oppressed.

He made known His ways to Moses,

His acts to the children of Israel.

The LORD is merciful and gracious,

Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy. 🕊️

Psalms 103:1-8

Good morning Father!

Thank You for this day!

Thank You for my life!

Thank You for my sweet bride!

Thank You for my beautiful daughter!

All that I am and all that I possess, they are blessings from You O Lord.

I count all as loss for my Faith and Belief in You, my Savior, O Lord!

Fill me with Your Spirit Father, may I shine Your light in the darkness around me this day, in all I say and do, may I bring glory to Your Holy Name, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 

Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. 

Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others. 🕊️

Philippians 2:1-4

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good morning Father!

Thank You for this day!

Thank You for my life!

Thank You for my sweet bride!

Thank You for my beautiful daughter!

All that I am and all I possess, they are but blessings from You O Lord!

Thank You!

When we were on our journey to Seattle, from Spokane, about half way, or two hours into our journey, we stopped at the Columbia River to stretch our legs and capture some of its beauty.

No matter how many times I travel past this sight, O Lord, I’m constantly amazed at the wonder of Your creation and how spectacular it must have been when first created, and still is today!

I pray Father You fill me with Your Spirit this day.

May your light shine in the day, above all the heavens and earthly beauty. 

May all the people of this rock see Your amazing and glorious splendor!

May I shine Your light this day, in and through all I say and do, In Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ Now this I say lest anyone should deceive you with persuasive words. 

For though I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good order and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.

As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.

Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. 

For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power. 🕊️

Colossians 2:4-10

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good morning Father!

Thank You for this day!

Thank You for my life!

Thank You for my sweet bride!

Thank You for my beautiful daughter!

All that I am and possess, they are because of Your rich blessings O Lord!

Thank You!

I pray Your Spirit fill me this day Father, as we travel to Seattle to do some work for an old friend.

I pray may we accomplish all that we set out to do. 

Bless Selah and I with Your angels to keep watch over us as we travel.

May the time we share together on our journey be fruitful and in the Spirit of Your Love Father.

I lift up All my children and All my grandchildren before You this day Father, I pray you Fill them with Your Spirit O Lord, and may they sense the mighty power of Your Word flowing in and through them, in all they say and do, may they bring glory to Your Holy name this day.

I continue to keep my sweet bride, Amy,  in Your care, at all times. 

I thank You for her life and all that she does for our family. 

May Your angels guard over her and keep her safe. 

May Your Spirit fill her with all the love and comfort she needs to assist the families of those who have passed and who seek her services, may she be a blessing.

Father, I pray Your Spirit fill my brother Mike this day! 

May your Word fill his mind and heart as he faces the challenges of his day, may he be a blessing and may his patience find the reward of the results he seeks.

Thank You O Lord for all that Your do for me and my loved ones, and I continue to pray without ceasing for the leaders of our Country and the leaders of this world, in their endeavors for Peace.

I lift up those who are sick and those who are suffering, may they be healed and help others who suffer likewise. I pray Your Spirit fill those ‘first responders’, who labor to help the people around them and keep them safe. 

So many prayers fill my mind and my heart O Lord, I feel the weight of the burden of all these things.

I put these needs upon Your shoulders O Lord, since there’s no way I could carry and minister to them.

May I walk this day as Your child of the light and shine Your Holy Light, in the darkness around me, in all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.

And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight— if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which was preached to every creature under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister. 🕊️

Colossians 1:19-23

Good morning Father!

Thank You for this day!

Thank You for my life!

Thank You for my sweet bride!

Thank You for my beautiful daughter!

All that we have and possess, they are blessings from You O Lord!

Thank You!

I lift up All my children before You Lord, may You bless them with Your Grace, Mercy, and Peace.

I pray each of them sense and know Your Spirit’s presence working in their lives.

May they each learn Your Word and follow Your Way, living a disciplined life of Faith.

May Your light shine bright in All my children and grandchildren, and may their lives be a beacon for others to follow, and lead back to You O Lord.  

Father, I lift up the sick and suffering this day, I pray for their healing and comfort as they heal.

Lord, I pray for the families in the loss of their loved ones, may they find You in their process of grieving.

I Pray for All the lost who walk aimlessly in the darkness, may Your light shine bright upon a clear path for them to follow, which leads back to You O Lord.

I pray Lord You bless me this day, with Your Holy Spirit, to guide me in all I say and do, may I bring glory to Your Holy name, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ He has shown you, O man, what is good;

And what does the LORD require of you

But to do justly,

To love mercy,

And to walk humbly with your God? 🕊️

( Micah 6:8 )

🕊️ Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful.

“Judge not, and you shall not be judged. 

Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. 

Forgive, and you will be forgiven. 

Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. 

For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”

And He spoke a parable to them: “Can the blind lead the blind? 

Will they not both fall into the ditch? 

A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is perfectly trained will be like his teacher. 

And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not perceive the plank in your own eye? 

Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me remove the speck that is in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the plank that is in your own eye? 

Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck that is in your brother’s eye. 🕊️

( Luke 6:36-42 )

Good morning Father!

Thank You for this day!

Thank You for my life!

Thank You for my sweet bride!

Thank You for my beautiful daughter!

All that I am and all that I possess, they are but blessings from You O Lord!

Thank You!

Always Remembering Your Holy Word, is my hope, my prayer, my petition.

May I continue reading Your Word daily, hearing Your voice in my mind, echoing Your scripture and seeking every opportunity to apply Your Word of truth, wisdom and knowledge, in my life, through my actions, and with the words I speak to others, may Your Words I share be as sweet fruit in my mouth, and in the ears of those whom I share it. 

Just sharing Your Word with my wife and our daughter yesterday, my spirit was lifted up as it was the first day I read it, so many years ago. Your Word is everything to me O Lord!

I pray for Your Spirit fill me and use me for this endeavor, that I might share Your Word, and may I demonstrate grace, mercy, and Love towards others, in all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

🕊️ Praise Yahweh! 🕊️

🕊️ This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. 

If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. 

But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 

If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us. 🕊️

1 John 1:5-10

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good morning Father!

Thank You for this day!

Thank You for my life!

Thank You for my sweet bride!

Thank You for my beautiful daughter!

Praise God for His Mercy and Grace towards all human kind, that in His Great mercy and His Great sacrifice, sent His only son to live amongst us, to know us and see us and interact with us, to laugh with us and cry with us, to see our suffering, and to die for us, in order to save us from the law of sin within us, that we might find a way back to Him, just by following His path to life!

What great pain God had to suffer, seeing His only son die upon that tree, even knowing it was but for a short while and He would be resurrected from the dead, there was that moment in time, God saw and felt the suffering each of us feel when we lose a loved one, and not only did He do it for our salvation to be possible, He created a plan and shares it with us, whereby upon His return to judge this world and its inhabitants, He will destroy “Death” itself, and it will be no more.

We will live with Him forever and never experience the evil ways of sin and never be touched by pain and destruction. We will live together in a place filled with pure Love!

Praise You Yahweh!

I pray O Lord, every day, I might think of my two sons we lost, and the painful memory I have that will never go away, and may I have just a glimpse of what You must have felt in watching the suffering and death of Your only son, Jesus Christ.

Bless me this day Lord, fill me with Your Spirit, may Your divine light shine in and through me into the darkness all around me, and through all I say and do, this day, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? 

Run in such a way that you may obtain it. 

And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. 

Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown. 

Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. 

Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. 

But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified. 🕊️

1 Corinthians 9:24-27

Good morning Father!

Thank You for this day!

Thank You for my life!

Thank You for my sweet bride!

Thank You for my beautiful daughter!

All that I have and all I possess, they are blessings from You O Lord.

Thank You!

I pray for Your Holy Spirit to fill me and use me for Your Glory this day!

I lift up my family and I lift up All my children and grandchildren, and I put them in Your hands Father.

May Your angels guard over them and keep them safe.

May they see and feel Your Spirit’s presence in their life and may they feel the confidence, in Faith, You are guiding them along their Way.

I pray My Faith and my continued prayers reach Your throne of Grace this day Father.

I lift up those who are suffering and I pray for their healing. 

May Your Mercy and Grace be upon the hungry and the homeless and provide them rest, may they be fed and their body healed, may they find a place to call their home.

I lift up all those who have lost their loved ones; their children, a brother or sister, a husband or a wife, a friend or neighbor, may Your Spirit comfort those who mourn.

Comfort them with the memory of those now in Your care.

May they find and come to know the hope of their Salvation and everlasting life, through faith and believing in Jesus Christ.

Thank You Lord, for hearing me this day.

May I walk in the light, as Your child, and shine Your light in the darkness around me, in all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen! 

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️  For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written:

“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,

And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”

Where is the wise? 

Where is the scribe? 

Where is the disputer of this age? 

Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 

For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. 

For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom; but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 

Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, & the weakness of God is stronger than men. 🕊️

1 Corinthians 1:18-25

Thank You for my life!

Thank You for my sweet bride!

Thank You for my beautiful daughter!

All that I am and all I possess, they are blessings from You O Lord!

Thank You!

I feel so blessed and sheltered by You Lord.

I have experienced Your grace many times in my life, and witnessed Your hand of protection over me.

You are always there with me and in me, working to mold me and shape me as Your child of light.

My worst days of misery and suffering, they are but a whisper before the loud cries for relief from the suffering of this age.

I see and hear of so much suffering and death. 

The wise wealthy men of this world watch as men, women, and children are slaughtered.

What manner of man am I to see these things and not feel guilty, just asking for God to heal my simple cold or bless me this day along my easy going life filled with everything I could ever want or need.

I pray Father, may you relieve the suffering of this world, bring Peace to all peoples. 

May Your righteous judgement be revealed and I pray You stay the execution of the innocent.

I pray O Lord, my children, my grandchildren, and all who come after them, see and hear from on High!

May they see Your Holy Word at work in the actions of righteous men before them. 

May they continue my petition for relief for the poor, and those suffering around them. 

May they act on opportunities of service and helping where their lives make a difference. 

Use them for Your service O Lord!

May they discern their purpose amongst the lost and may their light shine amongst all people. 

I share my words of Faith and Family here on my blog, may I be used as Your instrument of Hope, Your Love, Mercy, and Grace to all men who have scales over their eyes.

I lift up all these, my thoughts and look to You Father for all answers to my request.

Fill me with Your Spirit this day Father!

May I walk as Your child of the light and may I shine Your holy light, in all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️  Be of the same mind toward one another. 

Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. 

Do not be wise in your own opinion.

Repay no one evil for evil. 

Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. 

If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. 

Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. 

Therefore “If your enemy is hungry, feed him;

If he is thirsty, give him a drink;

For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.”

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. 🕊️

I pray our family, Your children of the light, shine bright this day, in all we say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise. Yahweh!

🕊️ Before destruction the heart of a man is haughty,

And before honor is humility.

He who gets wisdom loves his own soul;

He who keeps understanding will find good.

Listen to counsel and receive instruction,

That you may be wise in your latter days.

There are many plans in a man’s heart,

Nevertheless the LORD’s counsel—that will stand.

What is desired in a man is kindness,

And a poor man is better than a liar.

The fear of the LORD leads to life,

And he who has it will abide in satisfaction;

He will not be visited with evil. 🕊️

Proverbs 18:12, 19:8, 20-23

Good morning Father!

Thank You for this day!

Thank You for my life!

Thank You for my sweet bride!

Thank You for my beautiful daughter!

All that I am and possess I count as blessings from You Lord.

I pray my countenance may show my joy in life, when struggling through hard times, and when experiencing good times as well. 

I pray Lord, may I walk Spirit filled and prepared for the challenges ahead of me today. 

May I walk humbly before You O Lord, and may my faith increase as each moment passes.

I pray for Your wisdom in my speaking and knowledge where faced with difficult decisions. 

Help my O Lord to live my life as an example my children want to follow.

May I walk in confidence, knowing I am Your child of the light and Your Spirit shines bright in and through me, in all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ “Beware that you do not forget the LORD your God by not keeping His commandments, His judgments, and His statutes which I command you today,

lest when you have eaten and are full, and have built beautiful houses and dwell in them; and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold are multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied; when your heart is lifted up, and you forget the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;

who led you through that great and terrible wilderness, in which were fiery serpents and scorpions and thirsty land where there was no water; who brought water for you out of the flinty rock;

who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers did not know, that He might humble you and that He might test you, to do you good in the end—

then you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have gained me this wealth.’

“And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day. 🕊️

Remember!

Deuteronomy 8:11-18

Good morning Father!

Thank You for this day!

Thank You for my life!

Thank You for my sweet bride!

Thank You for my beautiful daughter!

All that we are and all that we possess are blessings from You O Lord. We will never forget what You have given us, the precious gift of life and the joy of Your creation, the love and happiness we share and are together, a home!

This is our Peace, our hope and faith in Your Word.

Thank You!

I pray Father, bless our baby girl this day, while at her Summer camp.

May she find Your Spirit in and amongst the camp, in her rising and her resting, may Your Spirit touch her, that she may see You in and around her this day.

I pray for All my children and grandchildren Father, may they experience Your Spirit this day, in and around them. May they be Your children of the light this day.

Fill me with Your Spirit O Lord, may I shine Your light this day, in all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 

When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 

Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 

And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me. 🕊️

Matthew 25:37-40

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good morning Father!

Thank You for this day!

Thank You for my life!

Thank You for my sweet bride!

Thank You for my beautiful daughter!

All that I am and all that I possess, they are blessings from You O Lord!

Thank You!

I pray Lord, Fill me with Your Spirit this day.

May my heart be pure and my mind clear. 

Guide me along my path and plant my feet on solid ground.

May all my children be blessed this day O Lord!

May they see you in all life around them, and may they take notice of those in need.

Bless all my children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren with Your Holy Spirit Lord.

May they each find their way to You, and the heavenly gifts which You’ve blessed them with. 

May they rest in You from their struggles, and may we all learn to humble ourselves before You Father!

Bless us this day O Lord, as Your children of the light, may we each have the opportunity to shine Your Holy light brightly, in all we say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh! 

🕊️ I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 

For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. 

But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. 

Against such there is no law. 

And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 

If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 

Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another. 🕊️

Galatians 5:16-26

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good morning Father!

Thank You for this day!

Thank You for my life!

Thank You for my sweet bride!

Thank You for my beautiful daughter!

All that I am and all I possess are because of Your blessings, Lord!

Bless me with Your Spirit this day O Lord, fill my heart with Love for all mankind.

May I walk in the Spirit and be Your child of the light.

Grant me the wisdom and knowledge I must have to meet the challenges i will face today.

Prepare my heart and mind, putting on the whole armor of God to protect me.

May Your light shine bright in and through me today, in all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could have given life, truly righteousness would have been by the law. But the Scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law, kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed. 

Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 

But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor. 🕊️

Galatians 3:21-25

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good morning Father!

Thank You for this day!

Thank You for my life!

Thank You for my sweet bride!

Thank You for my beautiful daughter!

All that I am and all that I possess are blessings from You O Lord!

I pray O Lord, may I be filled with Your Holy Spirit this day.

May I walk by Faith and not by sight, to be Your child of the light, and share Your message of Hope, Love and justice.

May I shine Your light in the darkness around me, in all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ And we urge you, brethren, to recognize those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and admonish you, and to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. 

Be at peace among yourselves.

Now we exhort you, brethren, warn those who are unruly, comfort the fainthearted, uphold the weak, be patient with all. 

See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all.

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Do not quench the Spirit. 

Do not despise prophecies. 

Test all things; hold fast what is good. 

Abstain from every form of evil.

-Blessing and Admonition

Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.

Brethren, pray for us.

Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss.

I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read to all the holy brethren.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you, Amen. 🕊️

1 Thessalonians 5:12-28

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good morning Father! 

Thank You for this day!

Thank You for my life!

Thank You for my sweet bride!

Thank You for my beautiful daughter!

Thank You for Your Holy Word!

Our blessings in following our faith and the Way are without measure.

Thank You for hearing my prayers for my brother’s business and its increase.

I pray, fill me with Your Spirit this day O Lord, may I be Your child of the light.

May I be a vessel of righteousness in my daily walk, serving You O Lord.

Strengthen my mind and body to make the journey towards justice and truth.

May I share kindness towards the stranger, my neighbors, when i see their need.

Grant me the peace of Loving all people, and without prejudice!

As in all things, may I follow what Your Word has taught me, and may Your light shine bright, in all I say and do this day, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith. 

For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another. 

Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith; or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; he who teaches, in teaching; he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness. 🕊️

Romans 12:3-8

Good morning Father!

Thank You for this day!

Thank You for my life!

Thank You for my sweet bride!

Thank You for my beautiful daughter!

All that we are and possess are because of Your blessings and love for us.

Thank You Lord!

I pray for healing for myself, members of my family with health issues, and others who are suffering, may Your grace and mercy be upon each of us, as we have need.

I lift up my children and grandchildren before You Lord, may Your Spirit fill them and guide them along their daily path.

May each of them know or sense Your presence in their lives.

May Your Holy Spirit guide each of us, may we be sensitive to the needs of others, and may we learn to use the gifts You’ve blessed us with, to be a blessing to those around us.

I pray for each of us, may Your light shine bright in all we say and do today, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. 🕊️

Romans 12:1-2

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good morning Father!

Thank You for this day!

Thank You for my life!

Thank You for my sweet bride!

Thank You for my beautiful daughter!

Even in my dreams, as I shared with my daughter, I tell the little ones how blessed we are to live in America, and be born free, unlike so many children born into a life of service and slavery, war, famine, and disease. 

🕊️ Thank You Lord for my health and I hold up my loved ones and those who are suffering this day, I pray your Spirit of healing, comfort, and Your peace, rest upon them. 

May My children and grandchildren, be filled with Your Holy Spirit, May they be blessed this day and may they bless others in kind. Teach them how to Love others around them, especially those less fortunate.

I pray Father, this day, you fill my mind with Your Spirit and may I see the light of this world, if for but a moment. I’m so tired of the darkness working at robbing my joy and stealing my compassion.

Bless me O Lord, that I might have the strength I need this day to fight the challenges that are to face me, may Your light shine in and through me, in all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven,

Whose sin is covered.

Blessed is the man to whom the LORD does not impute iniquity,

And in whose spirit there is no deceit. 🕊️ 

Psalms 1:1-2

Good morning Father!

Thank You for this day!

Thank You for my life!

Thank You for my sweet bride!

Thank You for my beautiful daughter!

All that I have and possess is because of Your blessings in my life!

Thank You!

I Pray You fill me with Your Spirit O Lord, may the words I speak and my actions be acceptable and honorable before You this day. 

May Your Spirit travel with us today on our journey, which takes us away from home. 

I lift up my children before You O Lord, please keep them safe. 

I pray You fill them and anoint them with Your Spirit in a way they may receive your power and the full gifts you intended for them to use.

I pray my grandchildren may glory in Your presence beyond the Sunday experience. 

Bless these children and may my loved ones be fruitful in their endeavors O Lord.

May they find You in the Sun and its warmth upon their face. 

May they see and experience the beauty of shadows and the absence of light and what it may reveal, as created by the bright moon light. 

There is so much for us to see in this world you’ve created but we are distracted from the natural beauty and focused on the worldly beauty created by man. 

Help me to always keep my eyes on You O Lord. 

May I use the filters You provide me along my path, following in the Way.

Thank You for hearing me Father!

Thank You for my life and revealing Yourself to me and showing me the light.

Thank You for my life.

I pray for my sweet bride while we are away from home, may Your angels keep her safe and comfort her in our absence.

As children of Your light, may we shine bright this day O Lord, and may we shine in and through all we say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ Do not love the world or the things in the world. 

If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 

For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. 

And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever. 🕊️

1 John 2:15-17

Good morning Father!

Thank You for this day!

Thank You for my life!

Thank You for my sweet bride!

Thank You for my beautiful daughter!

All that I am and all I possess, they are blessings from You O Lord!

Thank You!

I pray You fill me with Your Spirit Father, may Your Holy Light Shine Bright in me this day! 

May I walk as Your child of the light, with a heart filled with Your Love, Forgiveness, Mercy and Grace.

You are the potter, and I am the clay.

Mold me and make me, this is what I pray!

May my journey this day bring others closer to You and may my I shine Your light in the world around me, in all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do:

 “Forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead,” 

“I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”

Therefore let us, as many as are mature, have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to you. 

Nevertheless, to the degree that we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us be of the same mind. 🕊️

Philippians 3:12-16

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good morning Father!

Thank You for this day!

Thank You for my life!

Thank You for my sweet bride!

Fill me with Your Spirit O Lord, that I might follow Your will.

Guide me in the Way, as Your child of the light.

Forgive me Father, for my failing You, because of my flesh.

Strengthen my mind and my spirit, to get up when I fall, to rely on Your Word to guide me. 

Bless me as I put on my whole armor for my day’s journey.

Let Your Spirit O Lord, guide me through this darkness. 

Help me to be another hand that reaches out to help others when they stumble.

Mature my mind with knowledge and wisdom to see You in each experience I recount and document.

May I recount them in a way my words may be as a flashlight in the dark, helping young minds in Christ, to be prepared for their own path and life journey, and their own new and wonderful experiences.

Bless my children, and my grandchildren this day O Lord, may they seek You early in the morning.

I pray, Your blessing over them as they rise and as they walk through their day. 

Thank You for Your Love and forgiveness!

Thank You for Your healing touch!

May Your light in me shine bright this day O Lord, and may Your Spirit be reflected in all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!
