    F ather, I pray, to hear your voice, without distractions.  You tell us, your sheep will know your voice.  But, I want to make sure, I hear you, and only you.  I pray, even though, I may hear a prophetic word, or a word from one of your people, that the spirit, of you Lord is upon them, and I would not make a mistake about what I hear.  Help me, to hear your voice, more clearly, make it clear, and let me just know that you have spoken truth to me.  Without confusion.  Thank you Lord, for showing me, and my brothers and sisters, the difference from your voice, and that from the enemy.  So, I will not follow any sheep in wolves’ clothing.  Thank you Lord.  Amen

    Father in the name of Jesus I thank you for this day, I thank you Lord for waking me up this morning, for watching over me and keeping me safe last night as I slept. Thank you Lord for being a wall of fire around me, for sending your angels to encamp round about me and for being my shield and my protection. I bless your great and wonderful name today Father. Lord I present my day to you and I ask that you would lead and guide me through this day. I will acknowledge you Lord in all my ways, direct my path and order my steps in your word Father God. I present my hands to you today use them to bring you glory, I present my feet to you and I will follow you wherever you lead me and every place that my foot falls, I will bring your peace. I present my eyes to you today Lord open my eyes to see what you would have me to see this day.  I present my ears to you today Lord open my ears to hear your voice clearly. I present my lips and mouth to you today Lord keep the door of my lips and bridle my mouth and tongue so that I will speak only your word. I present my heart to you today Lord make it pliable in your hand and write your word on the table of my heart. Open the eyes of my heart and fill my heart with your word Lord God. I bless you Lord today for you are so wonderful and so great. Father I ask today that you would keep me from being deceived. I will keep my eyes on you. I will walk in the Spirit and keep my ear tuned into you Lord. I will be still and listen for your voice, for your leading and wait on you Lord. I will meditate on you Father. It is you Lord that I desire and another I will not follow. I thank you Lord for loving me so much that you chasten me and point me in the right direction. I thank you Lord for keeping me as the apple of your eye. I thank and praise you Father God for all things, you are my provider, protector and hiding place. Thank you Lord for keeping me and I praise your wonderful holy and great name. In Jesus name I pray. Amen

    Thank you, dear Lord, for the freedom to cry out to you in prayer. Thank you for the example of Lamentations 5:20, which encourages us to ask you “Why?”

    Sometimes, it seems, you answer this question when we pose it to you. Sometimes, we see an answer, but only much later. Often, though, you don’t answer us in the way we would prefer. Instead, you remind us of who you are, your greatness and power as revealed in creation. You remind us of your love and grace, revealed in Jesus Christ. You reassure us without explaining why.

    We trust that you do what is best, even when we don’t understand and don’t like it. So help us, Lord, to live with our limitations, to trust you when we can’t fathom you, and to sustain our hope in you. Amen.

    Thank you, gracious God, for the encouragement of your Word today. Thank you for the reminder that you are with me, and that you can do great things for your kingdom through me.

    I confess, Lord, that I often live as if I were on my own. I trust in my own strength and little more. I attempt only that which seems prudent. Forgive me for failing to remember you, for not living out the reality of your presence in my life.

    Help me, O God, to live today, and every day, in light of the truth that you are with me, dwelling in me by your Spirit, empowering me to live for you with boldness and strength. Amen.

    In all your ways acknowledge Him, and he will make your paths straight.” - Proverbs 3:6

    Sometimes, God will go to extraordinary means to get our attention when we are hell-bent in going our own self-destructive way. It could come through a financial jolt or through a rebellious child. When those times come, getting angry may be foolish, but taking time to listen may be the key to seeking God’s guidance about the right way to go.

    Is God trying to get your attention to keep you from making a fool of yourself? Take time to listen and He’ll change your course and get you where you need to go.

    John 4:25
    ......Jesus said unto her, I that speak to you am He….

    God tells us all the time that He is speaking to us.  The question is .... are we listening.  Are we dismissing the voice of God. 

    A lot of times we just don’t want to listen.  We don’t want to hear.  We don’t want to do.  We just want to do it our own way.  That is not why God is telling us who He is.  He is revealing Himself so that when we hear His voice…..we will obey. 

    We have to begin to listen to the voice of God.  To listen to what He is saying and to obey what He is saying. 

    Make your confession .... where you go I will go ..... what you say I will say .... what you do I will do ......  Tell Him today ..... Lord I will follow you.

    Quiet My Heart

    Dearly Beloved, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble. Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing. For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayers. So who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good? Do not fear or be frightened, but in your heart set apart Christ as Lord. 1 Peter 8-9,12,13-15

    Get away with the Lord and let him bring peace into your frazzled lives. Pull away and rest in him. He will bring order to that which has become chaotic. “Peace, I give you” He told us. Peace as we live our lives today. Lord help us to find our identity in you - not in the world. “Peace be still and know I am God” I pray our hearts can be quieted to be sympathetic and that they will be stilled to feel love and compassion.

    I pray that I will get away with you Lord. Make me lie down in green pastures and lead me beside the still waters. I choose to sit and be still. I choose to quiet myself and listen to you. Lord your ears are attentive to my prayers. Lead me to pray your will, not mine. Thank you for directing my every thought and for sheltering me under your wing where I find rest. “Be still, and Know that I am God” I hear you Lord, My heart soars with you as I sense your presence. Your wonderful presence, your still small voice, your goodness, your kindness, your mercies and your tender love You are God and there is non-like you. From everlasting to everlasting You Are God. You rule and You reign. You have conquered our enemy and we are free to live by faith in the Holy All Good God, who will never leave us or forsake us. Blessed be Your Name Lord Now and Forever. Amen

    That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Corinthians 12:10

    Have you ever been in a place where you can not think; a place where your questions out weigh answers; a place that seems hollow and void and where your voice is the only one you hear.

    Many have survived trial after trail with only questions, but they continue to move forward; stopping or going back is not an option. This difficult and sometime long road is like a very dark night and few will avail themselves to journey on its small path. If given the chance, no one would ever travel on this rocky road. Everything changes on this path, your direction, your location, your destination, your perspective but most especially your heart. The mind perplexed not understanding, yields to trust; the will, loosed from worldly glamour, hangs on Christ alone for its? only source of strength; while the shattered emotions are established, with a deeper dependency on the love and reality of God.

    Jesus walked from the garden, deserted by his followers, to the scourging post and on to the cross and into hell, before returning to His eternal heavenly home. By nature, humans want things to go well, to be easy and comfortable and some are not willing to endure the scourging and some do not want their souls to be crucified, but, it is only upon this dark rough road where the human soul is broken.

    The few who journey this heart breaking road will think they have been removed from God?s side and from those around them, when in fact they are being drawn ever so close to the heart of God and are being repositioned for a new work. So, continue to stand, continue to trust, and look to Jesus who is your defense and your protection. Jesus moved through it all and so will you by God’s grace.

    Gospel, pop, R & B? “Shackles” AKA “Praise You” fits neatly into all genres and it’s classic Mary Mary. “Shackles” is their break-out single that kicked-started the talented Christian music duo to the popularity they enjoy today.

    That I should praise you through my circumstance

    Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance
    I just wanna praise you
    I just wanna praise you
    You broke the chains now I can lift my hands
    And I’m gonna praise you
    I’m gonna praise you

    Everything that could go wrong
    All went wrong at one time
    So much pressure fell on me
    I thought I was gon lose my mind
    But I know you wanna see
    If I will hold on through these trials
    But I need you to lift this load
    Cause I can’t take it anymore

    Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance
    I just wanna praise you
    I just wanna praise you
    You broke the chains now I can lift my hands
    And I’m gonna praise you
    I’m gonna praise you

    Been through the fire and the rain
    Bound in every kind of way
    But God has broken every chain
    So let me go right now

    Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance
    I just wanna praise you
    I just wanna praise you
    You broke the chains now I can lift my hands
    And I’m gonna praise you
    I’m gonna praise you
    [repeat x3]

    Take them off
    What’cha gonna do, yeah

    Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance
    I just wanna praise you
    I just wanna praise you
    You broke the chains now I can lift my hands
    And I’m gonna praise you
    I’m gonna praise you

    Jesus Heard You
    from He Lives, He Comforts by Corrie ten Boom
    Jesus heard when you prayed last night.
    He talked with God about you.
    Jesus was there when you fought your fight,
    he is going to bring you through.
    Jesus knew when you shed those tears,
    you did not weep alone.
    The burdens you thought too heavy to bear,
    he made them his very own.
    Jesus himself was touched by that trial,
    you could not understand.
    Jesus stood by as you almost fell
    and lovingly clasped your hand.
    Jesus cared when you bore that pain,
    indeed, he bore it too.
    He felt each pain, each ache in your heart,
    because of his love for you.

    Believe in the power of prayer!

    Prayer to God is the single most powerful force in existence, and yet we rarely bother to use it, and even then for many of the wrong reasons. Prayer must become a daily pleasure for us, a means of communicating our feelings, worries and concerns to God, and a means of expressing hope, gratefulness and thanks for the blessings we receive. Prayer is powerful, and it works! Jesus used it - use it yourself!

    Sonny Carroll once commented:
    “In some of my darkest, most painful and frightening hours, I have prayed, not for the answers to my prayers or for material things, but for my God to help me find the strength, confidence and courage to persevere; to face each day and do what I must do.

    Remember this: You are an expression of the Almighty. The spirit of God resides within you and moves through you. Open your heart, speak to that spirit and it will heal and empower you. My God has never failed me.”

    I pray that God blesses you abundantly today!

    A Letter from God.

    Imagine, just for a moment, if God wrote you a letter. What would it say? What would God want to tell you? Do you think that God would want to ask you why you have done things that have disappointed Him? Do you think that He may want to scold you, or chastise you, or warn you that you are failing Him and yourself?

    No! God would want to let you know that He loves you, everything about you, that he cares about you and what happens to you. He would want to tell you that you are His precious child, that he is not disappointed in you, and that whatever you have done and whatever you may do in the future, He loves you!

    Do you feel at a loss right now? Do you feel that God is not talking to you and that you really need His care and attention right now? Many of us do, and so let us believe for a minute that this is our letter from God:

    Dear Child

    I just wanted to remind you today of how beautiful you are because there is a father of lies who will try to deceive you.

    He will try to tell you that you are not good enough, not attractive enough, not thin enough, not strong enough, not smart enough, not righteous enough, and that you are simply unimportant to me.

    He will try to tell you that you have broken one too many promises, that you have fallen one too many times, that you have lived one too many lies, and that you’ve been going in the wrong direction so long that it is pointless to turn back now.

    But guess what?

    YOU DO NOT BELONG TO HIM. HE IS NOT YOUR FATHER. I AM.

    You see, you are my creation. My workmanship. You have been born of my thought, every part of you placed together by my hands. You have my thumbprint upon you. You are precious, did you know that? You are my child, the child of THE King!

    I look at you and see a precious, priceless pearl. There is no ocean I would not swim, no mountain I would not climb, no price I would not pay to have you and to be with you and call you my own.

    I already have.

    I have done all that I could, given all that there is. I desire to be with you every moment of every day. How I long for you to talk to me every day. My love for you never grows cold. My promises are never broken (contrary to what he might lead you to believe). My character never changes. And you, my child, have been made in my image.

    I love you dearly, unconditionally and completely. I understand every emotion that you have. I’ve been there. I count every tear that you cry. I know every hair on your head. And do you know what?

    I even know your weaknesses and your failures and your fears. I know those hidden parts of you that you wish would go away. Those dark corners of your world that you stuff deep down, praying that no one will ever see. I have already seen them and they will not change my love for you.

    Nothing will. I love your heart and I desire all of it.

    I just wanted to remind you today of how beautiful you are and how precious you are to Me.

    With love, God

    Almighty God, you speak to us in many ways. Sometimes your Word is clear. Sometimes we have a hard time figuring out what you are saying. At times, your Word offers deep reassurance. At other times, it makes us uncomfortable. Yet, no matter how we react to your Word, you have given it as a gift so that we might know you more truly and serve you more fully.

    May we come with open minds and open hearts. May we be ready to hear what you want to say to us. Help us, dear Lord, to grow in our relationship with you, so that we might be your people more fully in every part of life. Amen.

    Today, if you’re running, just know that God’s love and mercy is right behind you. You can’t out-run him. When you hit the bottom, do what Jonah did; he called out to His Jehovah God. He heard Jonah’s cry and He will hear yours as well.

    All because he finally responded to God’s voice. It’s one of the most important things you will ever do with your future. Respond to the voice of you’re creator, you’re Lord whose love and plan never changes for your life.
