Lord, may I take your very words, and ingest them as regularly, as I crave bread and water, that sustains my life. Your word, your relationship I have with you, my humble worship, and the fellowship with the body of Christ sustains me. May it be, as the Air I Breathe.

The Battle belongs to the Lord! Help us to see the battle through your eyes, Oh Lord. The battle rages within our own hearts, and the unseen things, that surround us in this fallen world. Help us to see the Victory has already been won, both through your death and resurrection, and your promise of coming return and making all things right again. Show who you are today, and every day, as we persevere in Your Name. Amen!

Have you ever heard your parents say, “If your friend, jumped off a bridge, would you jump off too”? We are all like sheep, following our own path before God, but rather than severe judgement, God provided a solution. He gave his son, Jesus, to take that judgement, that we might live. We get to live life, free from the shame and guilt of our own selves, and give praise and glory, to God for his mercy and grace, and tell all who will listen, of his marvelous love he has shown us. (See note below, with biblical references, for more detail)

Call upon the Name of the Lord, and He will Answer you. Wait Patiently for Him. His Timeline, is not ours. For one day is like a Thousand, and a Thousand like a Day.

Love and Compassion, in spite of expectations about someone. That’s who our God is. He cares deeply, in spite of how deeply we have disappointed him. He gave us a way, to rescue us from ourselves.
