Confess Jesus All Day Long

Deliver me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of those who are evil and cruel. Psalm 71:24

What is on your mind right now? Christmas? Politics? Hatred of a politician? Anger at someone? Your massive to do list? Now is the time to stop what you are doing momentarily and take a praise and Jesus break. If you don’t the world will gobble you up.

All throughout your day get in the habit of saying “thank you Lord for protecting me and my family.” You can just take little praise moments during your day and realize what is really important and what truly matters. When you get hyper focused on world concerns, even within your own little world,  you often end up not glorifying God in your actions or thoughts. Think on that for a moment.

Today and every day is the time to make positive confessions and thoughts part of your marching orders. Don’t get overly consumed and drug into a pit by the junk in this world. Bring glory to God in your words, deeds, and thinking. 

PRAYER: I love to remain in a positive mindset and need help to break and demolish any strongholds that may have taken root. I choose this day and every day to stay lifted up. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Expect The Best, Forget The Rest

Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him. Psalm 62:5

It is good to dream and we should never lose hope. Also keep expecting the best and don't dwell on bad. God wants us to be positive thinkers and keep looking up. When we fixate on bad stuff it feeds on itself and you get in a negative cycle of doom and gloom. 

An exercise in expecting God's best is to know and believe He has great things in store for you. As I heard one minister say once, "Your best days are ahead!" Indeed they are. Don't start thinking you are worthless if you are a stay home mom, retired, or elderly. God has a plan for all phases of life. The enemy, Satan, loves to make a person of God feel worthless. He is the author of confusion not peace. If you are hopeless,forlorn, despairing, agitated, and without purpose know that those are not from God. Immediately resist the urge to let wrong thinking come into your head. 

Today I want you to get up and get going. Jesus loves you. He rejoices over you with singing. He created you and you are no accident. 

PRAYER: I praise you Lord Jesus for where you have 'planted' me. Help me use where I am to make a difference and impact the people around me. Give me strength to cast off negative thinking. In Jesus' name. Amen.
