We seemed to have lost this, in the church. You don’t necessarily need to publicly, go on social media and tell the world, but you need close friends that you can trust and will hold you accountable. I’m not saying that social media is not a powerful tool to share, but you may want to have your closest friends, walk with you through it first. It takes a lot of courage, to bare your soul, to the whole world. Especially for those who don’t understand, but……How healing to those whose lives are forever changed, by your courageous obedience, to this verse, who may be also struggling with he same issue. Also, this verse is talking to believers in the church, and not to those who have never given their lives to Christ.

Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.
James 5:16 NASB

Nourish your soul, today, meditate and delight, on God’s Word. You will not be disappointed. May we be filled with his spirit, today, that we may shine a light, on the Living God, who walks with us daily.

When my anxious thoughts multiply within me, Your consolations delight my soul.
Psalms 94:19 NASB

Lord, this life is a marathon! Help us to run the race with endurance. Let us not lose site, of the hope we have, and the crown of life we will receive. Not because of what we have done, but what Jesus has done on the cross, and resurrection, and through his Holy Spirit, working in us. Thank you, Lord.

Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.
James 1:12 NASB

Thank you Lord, that we are wonderfully known by you.  May we use this for good, to allow us to be changed by you.  May we not withdraw from you, as we see our own sinfulness, but embrace your truth, that we are whole, by putting our faith and trust in Jesus. Amen!


Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me and know my anxious thoughts; And see if there be any hurtful way in me, And lead me in the everlasting way.
Psalms 139:23‭-‬24 NASB

We can be deceived by our own sinful hearts.  The Lord knows our hearts, and is not deceived, nor can we deceive him.  Trust in him and seek his ways, and he will guide us.  


Every man’s way is right in his own eyes, But the Lord weighs the hearts.
Proverbs 21:2 NASB

Love God, and walk in his ways and find life, both present and eternal .  The alternative, comes in the next couple of verses.  Reject God,  and his ways and you will find death, both in this present life and for all of eternity.  Something to consider wisely.


in that I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments, that you may live and multiply, and that the Lord your God may bless you in the land where you are entering to possess it.
Deuteronomy 30:16 NASB

Oh Lord, if we could just get this straight.  Listen first, carefully choose our word’s, and not take personally what people say, which can bring us to anger.  Also Lord, may we be reminded, to be obedient to this passage.  This is not a suggestion, but a command by God!  May your Holy Spirit give us the self control, to carry this out.


This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger;
James 1:19 NASB

https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.1.19.NASB

Lord, may we live our lives, in a manner that recognizes this as truth.  May we be amazed that the creator, wants to have a relationship with the created. Amen

Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Everlasting God, the Lord , the Creator of the ends of the earth Does not become weary or tired. His understanding is inscrutable.

Our deeds are not because we are so good.  It is an outpouring of our hearts, when we understand how good, God is to us.   His Grace and Mercy should flow out of us, because we have been the benefactors of them. 


“I, the Lord , search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give to each man according to his ways, According to the results of his deeds.
