So much to be thankful for, yet we can easily zone in on what is wrong. That is the ENEMY. Resist the devil and he will flee!

And how should we speak?

So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord; always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father; and be subject to one another in the fear of Christ.”

‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5:17-21‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

Father, help us to live in the moment. Let us walk with you, day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute, moment by moment. You’ve got us in your hands and we can live without fear or anxiety. Help us in our weakness, strengthen us with your spirit, that we may become fully dependent on you alone.

Father, may we be steadfast, to be more intent on knees, pleading for our body, but also for those who have not bowed their knee to your son, Jesus. May we seek your intervention, more so than trying to fix things on our own. May we come before you, believing that you are in control of all things.

18 “But the things which God announced beforehand by the mouth of all the prophets, that His Christ would suffer, He has thus fulfilled.

Oh Lord, when I am in that quiet place and feel your presence, I am at peace. When I can sit quietly, and hear your voice through your word, and be filled with your spirit, my world at rest. Help me keep my eyes fixed on Jesus, and not take my gaze away from him as I go about my day.
