Pick up the responsibility for your life. Do not lay your situation at the feet of your parents. Lay it at the feet of God. Ask Him how to help you with your life, and watch the miracles open up. You will make it. Repent, and seek the face of God. There is forgiveness at the cross.
How have you served God with your life?
Learn how to raise your children in the knowledge of the Lord. This is the responsibility you have as a parent. Your children were given to you as a gift. Honor God the Father by showing your children His presence in your life.
You struggle because you have not given your life to the Lord.
Don't run from God when you sin. Jesus died on the cross, for the forgiveness of our sins. When you sin don't believe the lie of the devil. He will tell you to run away from God, and will try to convince you that you are not clean enough to go to Him. This is a lie. Run to God, not away from Him. He will cleanse you and refresh you, as you turn from your sin. Repent, and follow the Lord.
Even as we go through rocky roads, we need to be dependent on God. We humans can only see a short distance in front of us. God on the other hand sees the whole picture. May He make me stronger as I go through the fire.
Apologize to someone you have hurt. Do the will of the Father...
Let God calm your heart. Be still before Him, and let his Spirit quench the warfare that you are experiencing...
Be faithful in the small things, and God will bless you in the big things...
Let the old road go. It's time to walk on another road. Let God do a new work in you.
God created and owns everything. How can there not be a blessing out there for you?
Get before God and find out where He wants you to work. You have a job somewhere.
Walk down the aisle of your heart, and give your life to the Lord.
You have nothing to be afraid of. God is with you. Rejoice in His blessings. He has not taken His hand off your life, regardless what you are feeling.
When God says to move on, you need to move on! No more excuses.
Walk along the mountain, and don't be afraid to fall off. With Me beside You there is no reason to fear.
As a business person, put yourself in the place of those you are serving, your clients. Help them, guide them, and in this you do God's work.
Mean what you say and say what you mean. A simple philosophy to follow in business. Be there for your clients. Go the extra mile.
God can and will use you where you are. He's only looking for a heart that is willing to follow Him.
Sometimes in life you need to leave what you know is comfortable and stretch out to where God wants to take you. He knows you are afraid of this. Let Him know your fears, and watch Him refresh your spirit.
Weep with those who weep. Comfort them in their time of need. Show them the Lord. Show them how he has comforted you. The greatest gift in the world is to love.
Be there always for people, and not just when you are in trouble or when you need something. Love is true, and should exist regardless of what the circumstances look like.
If you want to understand what a person is made of, look at the fruit of their life. You will see and understand what makes them tick.
Do not let anyone take the place of who God should be in your life.
Encourage someone today.
Drive along the road that the Lord currently has you on...
The Lord is the King of who you are, not the World's standards. Nothing is impossible with God. Period. Keep your eyes on Him. The devil is a liar.
Cling to what the Lord has shown you in secret.
Our lives are orchestrated by God into seasons. Don't fret if u are in a dry season. God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He has not forgotten u. The dry season does not suggest an absence of God. On the contrary, He's still as close to u as the air that you breathe. Use this time to examine your heart and ask God to show u what He wants u to do.
Allow God to prune you.
Cast down the things of this world that are not pleasing to God.
Let God be your all in all.
Thank God for all things in your life. We are to praise Him at all times. Why? Because He is worthy of all praise. Period. Those who may laugh at this are full of pride. They don’t see that every breath that they take was given to them by Almighty God. If He did not form you, you would not be here.
Don't be afraid. You were created to serve God. Your life has purpose.
Remember, as long as you have breath in your lungs, God is not finished with you. Where you are right now and where you have come from does not define where you are going. Walk on a different path, with God beside you.
Believe that when you are touched by the Lord, everything you say and do has an effect on others.
God, please change me to be obedient to You. Let me see what is hindering growth in my life.
Grow. Use your gifts and talents to serve the Lord.
Come out of your comfort zone.
When you are in the hand of Christ you will rise from your ashes, because you have the Perfect Foundation that can make this possible. His name is Jesus.
As you walk with the Lord and strengthen your relationship and dependence on Him, He will bring you to another place as He provides for your needs.
Any time the devil tries to saddle up next to you and dumps feelings of fear and uncertainty on you, remember that you are not to trust in your feelings. Keep your focus on the Word of God.
Although circumstances in your life may have changed, God never changes. He had you in the palm of His hands when things were going ok, and you are STILL in the same palm of His hands as you pass through this transition point of your life. Nothing has
changed. God still provides. Thank Him for where you were, and thank Him for where He is bringing you.
God still has a plan for your life. Nothing has changed.
Your foundation grows stronger and stronger as you continue to walk with God through your life.
With Jesus we can give Him our fears and broken heart. We don’t have to pretend that they are not there, and we don’t have to figure out how to explain everything to Him. God knows us better than we know ourselves.
Be a witness to God. Show everyone what He has done for you.
Be faithful to the gifts that God has given you.
Do not worry about where your life is going. Give it to God, and begin walking. Step by step, day by day, He will bring you where He wants you to be.
Show the world who you are.
Don’t be afraid to expose yourself to God. Remember, He already knows about you. Nothing you tell Him will be a surprise. When you give Him your life, you will go free.
Accept yourself. Jesus loves you.
Don't worry that you are not complete in all aspects of your life. Leave room inside of you for someone to love and to care for you. Your inabilities are not a sign of weakness. Let people love and help you.
Dear God, please open the door for my provision. All blessings and honor belong to You.
When all around you appears to be the criticism of the devil, rejoice, for you are close to your blessing. All hell usually breaks loose when you are very close to a breakthrough. Hang in there. Stick with it!
You can tell who is a true believer. He or she is a person who is serious as a follower of Jesus, who does not pray one minute out of desperation and then the other minute ridicules the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
I am afraid, God. Please provide for my needs. I need your help.
Be a true believer. Follow the Lord. Learn of His ways.
Are you afraid? Let the Sprit of God comfort you.
Let the Holy Spirit cup the stream of tears from your heart.
