Psalms 42:11 Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.

• We all have moments of sadness, disappointment and concerns, as we are all human.
• We take command of our soul and these thought processes. We redirect our thoughts and hope into the Lord.
• Our hope (positive expectancy) is in God regardless of what things might look like and therefore we praise Him.

Prayer:  I do praise You Lord with joy, and sing a song to You today of victory, because I refuse to allow my soul to be disappointed, frustrated, fearful or downcast.  My hope is always in You.  Help me to project and to share this with others ,I pray in Jesus name.  Amen.

Psalms 119:165 Great peace have they who love your law, and nothing can make them stumble.

• So many of us look and long always to have peace, but God Himself is the author of that peace.
• When we love His ways and pursue all that God is peace comes naturally and we can walk in it.
• When we follow the ways of God and His principles and His teachings we walk continually and do not stumble.

Prayer:  I praise Your Holy name Lord for all that You are and I thank You for the peace that I experience and enjoy.  I do pursue Your law and Your way and Your principles.  They are my life and my source, I belong to You.  Amen.

Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!

• So often it feels not to be rejoicing or excited when we have so many challenges but;
• There is strength and power in praise and rejoicing.
• To rejoice in God and the Lord, because He never changes, He is our strength.

Prayer:  Lord I choose and I live to worship You and to rejoice today, I lift my hands in excitement and rejoicing to You because You are God regardless of what I am going through or what surrounds me, You are my strength.  Amen.

2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

• So often we are in a hurry for God to do things and answer our prayer, but God has a certain time.
• God is timeless and omni present.  We feel the pressure of every second ticking by, but let us trust Him that His timing is always perfect.
• God is patient and wants us all to be saved and not anyone lost. 

Prayer:  Lord I yield to Your timing and Your purpose and Your plan. Forgive me Lord for being in a hurry in anyway.  Help me to trust You for Your timing and not be stressed in any way.  I yield to You and I praise Your blessed name today.  Amen.

2 Corinthians 4:17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.

• Troubles are no doubt around all of us.
• But for sure they are momentary and temporary.
• But they will achieve blessings for us at the end – what the enemy meant to harm us with is going to be designed by God to bless us and others. 

Prayer:  Lord I will not today be stressed or focussed on troubles.  I will bless Your Holy name and I will rejoice that You will turn all my troubles and difficulties into blessing and these will just be passing through and I will continue in Your glory.  Strengthen me I pray in Jesus name, fill my heart with Your words of praises and songs today because You are worthy of all my praise.  Amen.

John 17:15 My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.

• Jesus prayed for us that we would be safe.
• We were not to be taken out of the world, but rather be protected in it.
• The evil one is real and he is out to get us, but we have this prayer that shields us. 

Prayer:  Thank You Lord that You are my helper and my ever intercessor and watch over me that the evil one can not harm me. I feel safe in You today.  Amen.

Matthew 4:19 “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, 

• God wants us to have an attitude of ‘following’ – which means there is no knowing of what lays up ahead, just simply follow.
• It is an invite to all of us who will respond to Him and look to Him as a guide. 
• When we follow we don’t question we just yield and submit not knowing where we are going just complete trust.

Prayer:  Lord I do choose to follow You today in my heart and I want to walk with You and fellowship with You and know You.  You are my King and my Lord and Savior. 
Amen.

Mark 16:17-18  And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”

• God has given us miraculous signs that by faith we have to apply.
• Demons and darkness will give way to us because we walk in authority that He gave us.
• We have a shield against snake poison and deadly poison that we might unknowingly consume.  We are safe against all germs because these are the signs that should accompany us as we believe.

Prayer:  Holy Spirit help me to continually believe and to walk in faith and not to allow fear to grip my soul through negative reports, but to focus on Your promises and to have this applied to my life that miracles will always happen, demons will flee and no harm will come to me in anyway shape or form.  I bless Your holy name.  Amen.

Luke 24:32  They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”

• So often in our business we can miss
  some of the most precious moments God has set for us to meet with Him or
  His agent (angels, Holy Ghost anointing, etc.).
• There is always a evidence of some kind if we will pay attention – the burning in their hearts.
• If we are watching and looking and
  expecting to meet with Him there will be many opportunities and
  occurrences where we see the Lords presence and evidence of Gods
  ministry to us.

Prayer:  Lord I do not want to miss any of those opportunities.  Help me to be alert Holy Spirit and mindful of Him.  Help me to not always be in such a hurry that I hurry pass some of those very important moments that You have set up for me.  Lead me Holy Spirit, I yield to You in Jesus name.  Amen.

Psalms 103:2 Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits–

• We command our natural mind, heart and soul to praise Him, because often we are focused on concerns.
• It is so easy to forget or to be distracted from all that we are blessed from by focusing on our burdens and concerns.
• We should recite and remind ourselves continually of all that God has and is doing – all His benefits!

Prayer:  Lord how I clap my hands in great joy thinking of all the things You have done and I have so much only because of Your greatness and mercy to me.  Holy Spirit I pray that You will keep me focused on these wonderful things and not the few negative things that the enemy tries to bring to my attention.  I praise and bless You and my soul worships You.  Amen.
