Trust in the God
“Father, help us to keep our trust upon You in the midst of all our afflictions that we face in our life.”
Trust in God, who trusts in you. St. Paul says that nothing can take us away from the love of Christ, not even suffering. ”Though God slay me, I will hope in Him” (Job 13 :15 ). The righteous Job even under utter despair of loss of material and own people laid his trust in God.
We are tuned to see only one side of the problems and sufferings we go through. But Job could see the better side in his pain and agony. When God fulfill our needs, we praise God otherwise sought our own way. Our faith and belief in God is not to be based on the material blessings we receive. It is not to be established and built upon benefits.
If God is allowing some problems in our life, believe that God has some purpose in it. He does everything with a purpose. But only a true Christian can understand the purpose and stand by it. Job trusted God unconditionally. You may be distressed because you don’t have a proper job, family problems, and financial crisis and lot others. Say boldly, I trust in the Lord. The things will turn in your favor.
Prayer for the day:
Dear Heavenly Father, we thank You for being by our side in every moment of our life. Thank You for holding our hands and carrying us at the time of distress. Forgive us for not trusting You when problems surrounded us, yet You cared for us. Help us to keep our trust upon You in the midst of all our afflictions that we face in our life. Father, Your love is so great. Please use us and refine us into a true Christian through my grief. Father, this is our prayer to You, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Reconcile with God
Reconcile yourself with God,and be at peace with him; in this way your prosperity will be good. ( Job 22:21 )
Too many times we argue and fight with God. We blame Him so many times for the mistakes that we commit. ‘Why did God allow this to happen’, ‘If God is good, why did He let me go wrong’ & the list is endless. We take all the credit for the good things that happen in our lives and blame God for all the bad things that happen.
We fail to recognize the fact that we are all clay in the Hands of God. Our sins have caused us to leave Gods path and stray where we become prey to wild beasts. The most important step that we should take to correct our lives and our mistakes is to reconcile with God. Reconcile with God First and He will perfect all things concerning your life. If you are on a warpath with Lord, your maker for anything that has gone wrong in your life, seek His forgiveness and plead for reconciliation.
Prayer for the day:
Dear Heavenly Father, forgive us for not trying to reconcile with You. We realize that we have wasted time in trying to reconcile with the world more than with You. We humbly bow down before You and beg of You to take charge of our life. Into Your precious hands we commit our life. Lead us in a smooth path and grant to us the joy of reconciliation with You. Help us to praise You when we face problems. Help us to read the Word daily and to remove the bitterness in our hearts. Bless us to control our tongue and use it only for the sole purpose of glorifying You, our Lord. We humbly ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen

Illumine my heart, Lord
“Father, illumine my heart with the true Sun of Your Righteousness; enlighten my mind and guard all of my senses, that walking uprightly as a child of the light and of the day in the way of Your commandments”
Lord, in the morning you will hear me; in the morning I will present my case to you and then wait expectantly for an answer. (Psalms 05 : 03)
I will thank the Lord with all my heart! I will tell about all your amazing deeds! I will be happy and rejoice in you! I will sing praises to you, O sovereign One! (Psalms 09: 01 & 02)
Thank You, Lord for another glorious day. Thank you for all that you give us each day and we love You. Father, as i start my Day When I wake and see the Light I thank You for another day.
Help me Lord, to see and do things Your way. Father i start my day thanking You for Loving me.

I entreat of Your goodness: Be gracious to me a sinner, and receive my prayer in Your great tenderness. For I flee to You, the merciful and almighty God. Illumine my heart with the true Sun of Your Righteousness; enlighten my mind and guard all of my senses, that walking uprightly as a child of the light and of the day in the way of Your commandments. Father, look upon those whom I remember in prayer at this time and grant them all good things that lead to salvation.

The Lord will guide you always
“Father,bind our minds with Your love and establish Your loving kindness in our hearts.”
The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters ever fail. ( Isaiah 58:11 )
Don’t be afraid of any situation in our life, for the Lord Almighty is standing by our side and He will establish us.If we keep our sights on GOD, He will guide our path.
God loves us and He will not put us to shame and never will He allow anything to happen to us more than we can bear. If you’ll only trust Him and believe that He’s on your side, then frustration or worry will have no place in your heart. His love will fill you and satisfy you even though the whole world forsake you; He will be your fortress and no enemy will be able to touch you and He will deliver you from every deadly snare and danger; He will shield you from every evil and cover you in His arms.
That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love (Ephesians 03:17 )
Prayer for the day:
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your love and guidance that is with us no matter where we are or how we are feeling. Thank You for the life lessons that You provide for us, to draw upon in our times of need. Help us to be life lessons to all whom we meet in our daily lives. May Your peace be with us and may Your tranquility reign among us. Help us to forgive each other. Bind our minds with Your love and establish Your loving kindness in our hearts. Father, give us the grace and faith we need to trust You to meet all of our needs. We humbly ask this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with THANKSGIVING, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. (Phil 4:6,7)

Devote Yourselves To Doing What Is Good
Father,enable us, by putting our trust in You, to be careful and to devote ourselves to doing what is good and well pleasing in Your sight.
This is a trustworthy saying. And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone. (Titus 03:08 )
Prayer is a powerful way to open the heart when you are stuck in anger, fear, self-judgment, resistance or depression. When you can sincerely pray for spiritual help in opening your heart and taking responsibility for your own feelings and needs, help is there. Spirit will find some way to support you when you really desire the help. Spiritual help may come through words that pop into your mind, through images, feelings, dreams, or through other people – but it will come.
Happiness, peace and joy are the result of loving ourselves and others rather than from being loved.
When you really understand this and take action based on this truth, you will find your joy.I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer, without anger or disputing. (1 Timothy 02:08 )
Prayer for the day:
Dear Heavenly Father, release us from the pressures that sometimes bring us to anger. Help us to seek a way that we may break the bond of anger and leash it, for there is no good use for it. Enable us, by putting our trust in You, to be careful and to devote ourselves to doing what is good and well pleasing in Your sight. Father, when we face several problems in our life and pass through turbulent circumstances, help us to rely upon Your everlasting love. Help us to love others with the love that You bestow on us. Bless me so that I will forgive all past hurts and wounds. Father, this is my prayer to You from the bottom of my heart. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due
“Father, help us to be sensitive to the needs of those around us and not to just walk by when someone needs the help that we could give them. Help us to share our faith, our love, and our time with those who need encouragement and help.”
Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do so (Proverbs 3:27). Open to us, Lord, your great Door, O Fountain of all mercy, hear our prayer and have mercy on our souls. Lord of the morning and ruler of all seasons, hear our prayer and have mercy on our souls.
The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace. (Exodus 14:14 )
Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin (James 4:17).
We all stumble many times in such things. Forgetting to pray and help someone when we have the power to do so. That is the reason as to why the Lord Jesus Christ is interceding for us. Since He is alive forever, He is interceding for us. If we do not pray for others, we would be sinning against God. Many times we forget to pray.
Prayer of the day:
Dear Heavenly Father, help us to remember You always in our life. We confess that You are a living God. May we make it a point to always give the first place to You in all that we do. Bless the works of our hands. Let the thoughts of our mind glorify Your name. May we reach out not only to the poor and needy, but to all those who You lead us to help. Strengthen us not only give of our money, but also to give of ourselves. Father, help us to share our faith, our love, and our time with those who need encouragement and help. Help us to be sensitive to the needs of those around us and not to just walk by when someone needs the help that we could give them. We humbly ask this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
