It is not easy to love those who hurt you, it is not easy to pray for those who spitefully use you, and it is not easy to turn the other cheek, after you have been slapped on the other. But, God’s will for us is to love our enemies, and to do good to them, and the least we could do is try; and keep trying, until we are able to love our enemies and do good to them, that we may receive our reward. Help us, Lord!

I believe that he hears us, I have proof that he heard me; for when I was distressed and called upon his name he answered me favorably. But, there were times when I called upon his name and he was silent, but that does not mean he did not hear me. He may have been speaking to me from a pillar of cloud and I was waiting to hear him speak to me directly. Lord, let us fall before your footstool and repent of all wrong doings, keep your testimonies and your decree, so that you may hear us from your Holy Hill and answer us favorably. Amen!

God does so much for us and therefore, we have so much to thank him for. Let us begin the new week with prayer and praise to God, not only for what he has done for us in the past, but all that he is about to do . God’s loving-kindness to us deserves much praise.

Consider it pure joy my brothers and sisters in Christ whenever you face the trials and tribulations of this life, and keep your hearts with all diligence to God, for it is not every man who suffers, that is blessed; but he who with patience and perseverance, goes through all difficulties in the way of life. Praise the Lord!

Many will be quick to judge you because of where they know you have been, but God is smiling down on you, because he knows where he taking you. Do not worry, for God is your shield, lift up your head, cry out to him, for he has put away from you your sins as far as the east is from the west, and the only thing that is holding you back is you. The time to step out is now, step boldly into the favor of God.

The Devil tries to block God’s WORD for one reason only, to block others from entering into God’s vineyard. Knowing this, you should arm yourselves with the WORD of God so that you will be ready to defend God’s name as you aim to preach it, for there will be many adversaries to oppose you. Don’t let the enemy discourage you, but encourage you. Praise the Lord!

Let us pledge this day to take up the cup of Salvation, to walk worthy of our calling to which God has called us, to be kind and loving one to another, to never put stumbling blocks in the path of our brother, and to give of ourselves to the work of the Lord; not being stingy, or rebellious, but generous and willing in all that we do. Amen!

Lord, teach us how to fear your name, show us how to reverence you, teach us to hope in your mercy. Lord we know that with you all things are possible, we understand that there is nothing too hard for you, therefore, we will trust you, we will wait on you, we will fear you, for there is none other like you. Lord, we will sing praises to you, for it is pleasant and praise is beautiful. Amen!

Lord, turn us from our evil ways, give us repentant hearts, and fill us with reverence for you, so that we may do what is good and right. Lord, your will for us is not to do evil but to do good. Lead us Lord in your righteousness, bring to remembrance all the good that you have done for us, and keep us from all wrong, in Jesus name we pray. Amen!

This could happen easily if the prayer need at the time is small, but, we must remember to thank God for small mercies. So, stop right where you are and give God a praise.
