๐๏ธ You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus, and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also. Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
No soldier gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him.
An athlete is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules.
It is the hard-working farmer who ought to have the first share of the crops.
Think over what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything.
Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, the offspring of David, as preached in my gospel, for which I am suffering, bound with chains as a criminal.
But the word of God is not bound!
Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
The saying is trustworthy, for:
If we have died with him, we will also live with him;
if we endure, we will also reign with him;
if we deny him, he also will deny us;
if we are faithless, he remains faithfulโ
for he cannot deny himself. ๐๏ธ

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!
Everything I am today, All that I possess, they are Your blessings in my life.
Thank You Father, for Your Son, Jesus Christ, who died so I might life.
Thank You Father, I know what it is like to lose 2 of my sons, to be Your child, I know what it means!
Help me Father, to be a better son, to bring Praise and glory to Your holy name!
Bless me this day Father, with Your Holy Spirit, that as Your child of the light, I might shine Your light in me, in all I say and do, in Jesusโ name, Amen!
๐๏ธ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with
which he has blessed us in the Beloved. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.
In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory. In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory. ๐๏ธ
Ephesians 1:3-14

Good morning Father!
Thank You for this day!
Thank You for my life!
Thank You for my sweet bride!
Thank You for my beautiful children!
All the days of my life Lord, You have blessed the work of my hands and Your angels have watched over me, up to this day. Thank You Father!
I lift up my hands before You this day O Lord;
Iโm holding all my children and grandchildren up to You in my heart continually,
Iโm praying for their safety, I pray for their mindโs eye to see Your glory, Your Grace, Your Love, in everything they see before them.
May Your Holy Spirit fill them this day Father!
I pray my children may be Your children of the light, may they shine bright this day, and every day, in all they say and do, in Jesusโ name Amen!
๐๏ธ So is it with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable; what is raised is imperishable. It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power. It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. Thus it is written, โThe first man Adam became a living beingโ; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit. But it is not the spiritual that is first but the natural, and then the spiritual. The first man was from the earth, a man of dust; the second man is from heaven. As was the man of dust, so also are those who are of the dust, and as is the man of heaven, so also are those who are of heaven. Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the man of heaven.
I tell you this, brothers: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality. When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written:
โDeath is swallowed up in victory.โ
โO death, where is your victory?
O death, where is your sting?โ
The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain. ๐๏ธ

Good morning Father!
Thank You for this day!
Thank You for my life!
Thank You for my sweet bride!
Thank You for my beautiful children!
Thank You for my health!
Thank You for the home I now live in!
All that I possess and All that I am is Yours O Lord!
You are the reason for my being;
You are the reason my eyes have been opened.
You give my mindโs eye vision into the Spiritual truths I now hold dear!
This body You have raised from the dust, will return to the same, and then, it is only by Faith, by Grace, I may walk each day alive according to the Way, guided by the Truth and Your Holy Spirit.
I look for each day and new opportunities to do better, to improve my living processes and together with the Spiritual, make the changes which bring me one step closer to my Creator, my God, Yahweh.
In my flesh I am not worthy of God. My thoughts betray me and I struggle to walk in the path of the Light.
In my spirit I am a child of the light, my struggle with my flesh is measured and my sinful nature suppressed.
I walk into the heavenly realm each time I close my eyes and meditate on You Lord.
My way is Your way O Lord, may Your Spirit continue my training each day, may I walk each day according to Your Spiritโs guidance, may I improve in my walk and in the Words I share with others.
I pray my light, the one Youโve blessed me with, may it shine bright, in all I say and do this day, in Jesusโ name, Amen!
๐๏ธ Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness.
For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace. ๐๏ธ

All that I am and possess, all of it is because of Your blessing on my life.
Thank You Father for Your Holy Spirit filling my heart with Love and Grace.
I pray O Lord, may Your light in me shine bright this day, in all I say and do, in Jesusโ name, Amen!
๐๏ธ Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. ๐๏ธ

Praise God, I am able to have that steadfastness in my faith and walk in the Way.
Thank You Lord, for Your Spirit, within me, to keep me on the right path.
All that I am and possess, Lord, I thank You and Praise You for Your many blessings.
There are so many paths to follow and distractions along the way, itโs difficult at times to know which path is best for my walk and my family. My strategy is to just let go and pray for Godโs direction.
I pray O Lord, You fill me with Your Spirit, in all I say and do this day, in Jesusโ name, Amen!
๐๏ธ For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: โYou shall love your neighbor as yourself.โ But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another.
Keep in Step with the Spirit!
But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another. ๐๏ธ

I pray this day Father, You fill me with Your Spirit, that I might be Your child of the light, shinning bright, in the darkness which surrounds us, may I shine Your light, this day, in all I say and do, in Jesusโ name, Amen!
๐๏ธ The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge.
There is no speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard.
Their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world.
In them he has set a tent for the sun, which comes out like a bridegroom leaving his chamber,
and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy.
Its rising is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the end of them,
and there is nothing hidden from its heat.
The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul;
the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple;
the precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes;
the fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever;
the rules of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether.
More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold;
sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.
Moreover, by them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward. ๐๏ธ

May Your Light shine bright in us all this day, in all we say and do, in Jesusโ name, Amen!
๐๏ธ Now before faith came, we were held captive under the law, imprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed. So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian, for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith.
For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christโs, then you are Abrahamโs offspring, heirs according to promise. ๐๏ธ

Thank You for my beautiful daughter!
My memory of the days of my conversion will be forever present with me O Lord!
Whenever I am lost or confused, or feeling down, I remember Your Word and how it brought me comfort and set my feet on a different path.
Whenever I struggle in my thoughts, of many decisions I made and choices I question, Your Word answered the questioning of my soul and brought me peace.
When I first opened the book, Your holy Word, my mindโs eye opened up for the first time.
I was in a dark room but I could see a simple rays of the sun shinning bright through a window, it put a smile on my face and filled me with joy.
Where before beginning my newfound walk of faith and lifeโs journey, I felt alone and misunderstood, but After my eyes were opened, there Your angel stood before me, with a strength and sense of Your presence surrounding my life, from that point forward.
In Faith, as I wake from my bed this day, I go to my private place to read Your Word, as my daily reminder, of the days You first picked me up and held me in Your arms. You welcomed me as Your child of light, You keep me centered and my feet on the path of freedom, no more aimless wandering for my life, but being filled with Your Spirit, I take each step with purpose.
Bless my family O Lord, as they travel to visit other members of our family and console them in the loss of a loved one. Watch over them with Your angels and keep them safe.
Bless me this day Father, may Your light shine in and through me, in all I say and do, in Jesusโ name, Amen!
๐๏ธ And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedienceโ among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.
But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christโby grace you have been savedโ and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. ๐๏ธ

๐๏ธ When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child.
When I became a man, I gave up childish ways.
For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face.
Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.
So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love. ๐๏ธ

May Your Spirit, the light that lives inside of me reign.
May Your love for all mankind echo in my heart daily.
May there be a wall of love within my mind, which filters out the hate and all manner of sin.
May Your angels protect me from all evil which seeks to besets my walk today.
I believe! I believe! I believe!
Strengthen my faith Father God!
Keep me O Lord, in Your grace on my journey of hope and purpose, in following in Your Way, may I shine Your light bright, in all I say and do, this day, in Jesusโ. Name, Amen!
๐๏ธ Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. Do not be slothful in zeal, be
fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality.
Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight. Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, โVengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.โ To the contrary, โif your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.โ
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. ๐๏ธ

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 firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints ๐๏ธ

๐๏ธ The LORD possessed me at the beginning of his work, the first of his acts of old.
Ages ago I was set up, at the first, before the beginning of the earth.
When there were no depths I was brought forth,
when there were no springs abounding with water.
Before the mountains had been shaped,
before the hills, I was brought forth,
before he had made the earth with its fields,
or the first of the dust of the world.
When he established the heavens, I was there;
when he drew a circle on the face of the deep,
when he made firm the skies above,
when he established the fountains of the deep,
when he assigned to the sea its limit,
so that the waters might not transgress his command,
when he marked out the foundations of the earth,
then I was beside him, like a master workman,
and I was daily his delight,
rejoicing before him always,
rejoicing in his inhabited world
and delighting in the children of man. ๐๏ธ

There are no maps to guide me to find the treasure. I must receive it from the creator of this world, from the magnificent being who created me and gave me breath.
Godโs Spirit is within me, working through me, carefully guiding me on my life journey.
Father, I raise my hands up to You this day and Praise You for my life and all that You have made in me and through me.
Help me O Lord, to cast off the sin that trips me up, and help me to reject the sinful nature, which battles with my mind and my spirit daily. Guide my lips when I speak the words in my heart, that they may lift up those who hear me.
May Your Spirit shine brightly in and through me, in all I say and do this day, in Jesusโ name, Amen!
I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart;
I will recount all of your wonderful deeds.
I will be glad and exult in you;
I will sing praise to your name, O Most High. ๐๏ธ

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!
My Lord and my God, I lift my hands to You this morning, I lift my heart.
I pray Your Spirit fill me this day, that I may walk as Your child of the light, speaking kindly and with Love, to the strangers who walk in the darkness around me.
Give me the wisdom to speak Your Word in the appropriate time and place, which will be heard and be a blessing. Guide my feet on the path which leads to You Father!
Heal me O Lord! My body is growing old, my arms are weak and my knees in pain. My legs get me where I am going but I need a cane to steady my steps. My eyes are cloudy at times and my vision failing. Restore my mind and my body I pray. Only enough to see my way and walk towards the purpose You have set for me on my life journey.
Guide my thoughts towards the dynamic view of Your world of Love and peace.
Strengthen my hands to write the words as I describe my journey and my experiences.
Bless me Father, to walk in the light and shine this day, in all I say and do, in Jesusโ name, Amen!
๐๏ธ I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spiritโjust as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your callโ one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christโs gift. ๐๏ธ
Ephesians 4:1-7

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 blessings from You O Lord!
I lift my hands in Praise this day, for the glory of Your Spirit working in each of us, Your Children.
Lead us Lord, with purpose and conviction in our calling, the path of Righteousness, wisdom, mercy, Truth, and Love.
May Your light shine in us this day, in all we say and do, in Jesusโ name, Amen!
๐๏ธ Come now, you who say, โToday or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profitโโ yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring.
What is your life?
For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.
Instead you ought to say, โIf the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.โ
As it is, you boast in your arrogance.
All such boasting is evil.
So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin. ๐๏ธ

Good morning Father!
Thank You for this day!
Thank You for my life!
Thank You for my sweet bride!
Thank You for my lovely daughter!
All that we are and possess are blessings from You Father.
Thank You!
I lift my hands to You this day, Father, and pray You fill me with Your Spirit, that I might be Your child of light and Love, in this world of darkness and sin.
May Your light guide my path this day.
Protect me Father, from stumbling.
My legs are weak and my joints are sore and hurting.
Heal me Father!
That I might continue my journey this day, and live to see another.
Bless me Father, this day, and my family, that we may bring glory to Your holy name, in all we say and do.
May our day be filled with purpose and our hearts be true.
May our hearts be true, always, in all we say and do, in Jesusโ name, Amen!
๐๏ธ Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
But sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints.
Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving. For you may be sure of this, that everyone who is sexually immoral or impure, or who is covetous (that is, an idolater), has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.
Therefore do not become partners with them; for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord.
Walk as children of light (for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true), and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord.
Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.
For it is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret.
But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible, for anything that becomes visible is light.
Therefore it says,
โAwake, O sleeper,
and arise from the dead,
and Christ will shine on you.โ
Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.
Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit, addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart, giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ. ๐๏ธ

I lift my hands up to You in praise O Lord, may Your Spirit fill me this day, and may I be a child of the light this day, shining in the darkness, to guide the way for others to follow.
May I bring glory to Your holy name this day, in all I say and do, in Jesusโ name, Amen!
Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love,
that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us,
and for as many years as we have seen evil.
Let your work be shown to your servants,
and your glorious power to their children.
Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us,
and establish the work of our hands upon us;
yes, establish the work of our hands! ๐๏ธ

๐๏ธ For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:
a time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
a time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to break down, and a time to build up;
a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
a time to seek, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
a time to tear, and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
a time to love, and a time to hate;
a time for war, and a time for peace. ๐๏ธ

Good morning Father!
Thank You for this day!
Thank You for my life!
Thank You for my sweet bride!
Thank You for my awesome daughter!
Everything I have and possess, I consider blessings from above.
Every day I pray and ask for Your Spirit to fill my heart and direct my way.
Each and every day, without disappointment, Your answer comes and every part of me rejoices!
You have shown me O Lord, throughout all my seasons in this life, so many meaningful paths to follow and choices to make, and yet the most significant of all, You give me free-will to decide my fate.
In my view now, when Your Spirit fills my heart and mind, I see so many things I could have changed but I quickly turn my focus back to today, not reliving the past but seeking a brighter future, one moment at a time, one step at a time, one day at a time, and then each of the seasons begin again. As always, there You are with me, in me, working through me.
I pray this day, O Lord, once again, asking You to fill me with Your Spirit, guide my steps, direct my path. You give me the choice to decide my way, but in each step I take, I think to myself, if I only had more time, I could do this or that, thinking, if I could see all the alternative outcomes of my decisions and have the ability to decide the best one, how awesome that would be. Then Your Spirit quickens to my memory Your Word, which provides me the solution. Your Word shows me you will not give me more than I can handle, You are there with me, through each season, guiding my steps, like a loving father, who deeply loves his child. I only need to step out each day, in Faith, trusting your leading me and trust Your Spirit is guiding me along the path to the best choice and decision. Thank You Lord!
๐๏ธ What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you? You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions.
You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. Or do you suppose it is to no purpose that the Scripture says, โHe yearns jealously over the spirit that he has made to dwell in usโ?
But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, โGod opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.โ
Submit yourselves therefore to God.
Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.
Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.
Do not speak evil against one another, brothers. The one who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks evil against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge. There is only one lawgiver and judge, he who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor? ๐๏ธ
