Read this ✝️🙏

You are not reading this by accident. This is your confirmation. Everything is going to be alright. God is making a way for you right now.

God is making arrangements. Something you prayed for is about to happen!

He says... "Don't even think about giving up. You are going to make it, no matter what it looks like right now. I know you’re worried about your finances, your health, your family… Remember I always work in your favor. I will bless you today with peace, healing and victory if you don't quit. I am going to bring something beautiful out of this ugly situation. Get ready for Your blessings”

He tells us, "Be still and know that I am God." You could think of a hundred things that could go wrong, but God didn't bring you this far to leave you. He's keeping the trouble from defeating you. Stay in peace; you're in the middle of a miracle.

Imagine Jesus is sitting right next to you and saying this to you : “… I have heard your prayer and seen your tears. I will heal you..." - 2 Kings 20:5

Pray for a moment with me : Dear Lord, please guide our steps today, may you fill us with gratitude and purpose. Let us be instruments of Your love and light, anchored in Your truths and grace. In Jesus' name. Amen

And remember , "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13

Have a blessed day 👼🏻

Jesus Is The Way

[pray-like-nehemiah]

The holiday season is upon us, and this year, where I work is doing a Christmas drive for children in foster care. We have 12 children we're buying gifts for, and while I am buying some gifts for a few of them, I'm thinking about crafting prayer boxes for each child as an additional gift. Given that some of these children may not be familiar with the concept of God, I'm looking for verses that can be put inside the lid of the prayer boxes. Any suggestions on verses that would make the gift meaningful while being the chance they need to get to know Him is welcomed.

2 Chronicles 36:16

But they kept ridiculing the messengers of the true God, and they despised his words and mocked his prophets, until the rage of Jehovah came up against his people, until they were beyond healing.

John 14:1-3 (NLT). “Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am.”

Romans 8:28 (NLT). “And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.”

Job 22:21 (AMP). “Now yield and submit yourself to Him [agree with God and be conformed to His will] and be at peace; In this way [you will prosper and great] good will come to you.”

“Finding Contentment” By In Touch Ministries:

“When we yield what we want and accept what God wills, we move beyond living by feelings to living by faith.”

“Too often we let our circumstances determine our attitude. If life is going smoothly, then we feel good. But when it gets hard, our mood drops. However, we don’t have to live this way. Like the apostle Paul, we can learn and practice contentment.

The word contentment describes being at peace, no matter how things are—in other words, not wanting anything to be different. It means learning to allow God’s power to come into our weakness so we can accept and adapt to changing circumstances. When we respond to life with that kind of thinking, we move beyond living by feelings to living by faith (2 Corinthians 5:7).

Submission and trust are needed for such a lifestyle. First, we must surrender to God. In every situation, we are to yield what we want and then accept whatever He allows. The second step is to trust God to oversee our specific situation. If we believe He is working out His perfect plan for us, then we’ll experience the joy that comes from fully relying on Him. Contentment will be ours.

Paul submitted his life to God and trusted Him. He faced insults, rejection, and many difficult trials but was still content. When we surrender control to the Lord and believe He has our best interest at heart, we will experience contentment, too.”

my testimony

for eighteen years,I lived a life of fear and dread. My parents were toxic and abusive and the best way to avoid that was through just taking the blows. I was born and diagnosed with autism. Since I was the one kid that couldn't do anything the way they wanted or in their words, 'the right way' i became the family scapegoat. It was my fault if something went wrong always. I was never like my siblings or into the same things as them. My parents praised my siblings because they were athletic and smart and followed along with the mind games they would play. I was quieter and more into the arts. My gifts and talents were seen as useless and stupid. I began to believe it and fell into a massive hole of depression, anxiety, self loathing, and suicidal thoughts and actions. those who figured out what was happening at home were pushed away and were seen as bad people. I never felt more alone in my life. Eventually, I moved to a private Christian school. I was miserable. I was disgusted by the thought of Jesus Christ and how He allowed all this suffering in my life. But I remember one day in class, one of my teachers pulled me aside and told me that Jesus saw me and He never left me alone. He was watching over me and had big plans for my life. After hearing that, I could feel the Holy Spirit moving in the room. I burst into tears and allowed Jesus into my life.

After I graduated, i moved out. I have tried to restore a relationship with my family but no onehas bothered to return texts or calls. It has been a few months and I heard I had a new baby brother. The family made it clear I was not invited to see him. Please pray for them.

One verse in psalm 27 was 'when mother and father forsake me, the Lord will take care of me.'

Since I came to Christ, He has done so much in my life. I now have a job, a relationship with the distant family I missed out on growing up(so many cousins!), amazing group of friends, and a wonderful boyfriend.

So yes, my physical family may forsake me, but my Father in Heaven never will. Praise the Lord

He will turn your life around, He is knocking, let Him in

Study a Bible verse with me 💕

In this analysis, I will explore the meaning and implications of Matthew 6:21 from the New Living Translation (NLT).

Mat 6:21 : “Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.”

This verse is part of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, where He teaches about the importance of prioritizing spiritual over material wealth. Here’s the reasoning behind this verse:

• In this context, "treasure" refers to what one values most highly ; whether it is material wealth, possessions, or spiritual values. The "heart" in biblical language often represents the center of a person’s emotions, desires, and will.

• Jesus emphasizes that what you value most (your treasure) will dictate where your focus, energy, and passions lie (your heart).

• Earlier in the passage (Matthew 6:19-20), Jesus contrasts storing up treasures on earth, which are temporary and vulnerable to decay and theft, with storing up treasures in heaven, which are eternal and secure.

Mat 6:19-20 : “Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal.”

Jesus encourages His followers to invest in things of eternal value, such as spiritual growth, acts of kindness, and a relationship with God, rather than in temporary, material possessions.

• Where a person allocates their time, energy, and resources is a clear indicator of what they truly value. If one’s treasure is in material wealth, their heart will be centered on acquiring and protecting that wealth. If one’s treasure is in heavenly things, their heart will be aligned with God’s purposes, focusing on love, service, and spiritual growth.

• This verse invites us to examine our own lives to see where our true priorities lie. Are we more concerned with accumulating wealth and possessions, or are we truly investing in things that have eternal significance? By shifting our focus to heavenly treasures, we can surely cultivate desires and habits that reflect the values of our Heavenly Father.

• In summary, Matthew 6:21 teaches us that what we value most (our treasure) reflects our true priorities (our heart). Jesus urges us to store our treasure in heaven by focusing on spiritual values and eternal things, rather than on temporary, material possessions. This aligns our hearts with God's purposes and the values of His Kingdom.

Have a Blessed day 🙏🤍
