Ephesians 2:8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith–and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God–

• Salvation – a total gift!  Never deserved.
• It is by faith that we are saved, not by any effort by our own parts.  It is all a gift from God.
• We ought to never have to work for our salvation, but receive it with great joy as a gift.

Prayer:  Father how I rejoice in this wonderful salvation and everyday I give thanks.  Help me to share this wonderful message on a daily basis and also to be reminded of Your kindness and salvation towards me.  Amen.

Jeremiah 32:27 “I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?

• When facing obstacles and there seems no way out, God has a way.
• No matter how hard it is or how hard it seems, God is genuinely able, regardless of how frustrated we might feel.
• We can always turn to Him, depend upon Him, expect Him to make a way when we ask.

Prayer:  Hallelujah!  I am so grateful that there is nothing to hard for You that I can ask You anything. I turn to You today to make my request known to You and I have an expectancy that You will do miracles for me.  Amen.

Psalms 40:3 He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD.

• God gives us a song in our heart to sing to Him on a daily basis. He is good and worthy of praise.  
• We belong to Him and His people should be praising Him continually.  
• People are moved and touched by our worship to God and our service to Him and will turn to Him to put their trust in Him, so let us continually praise Him.

Prayer:  Lord I do lift my hands in worship and praise.  I do want sing a hymn to You everyday to honor You and to constantly sing of all You have done and the goodness of God, because there is no one like You.  Amen.

Ephesians 3:16-18 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,

• The greatest thing in this whole world is the love of God.  Never ending and far reaching.
• All true love has its origin in Him only, because He is love.
• May God give us grace to continue to grasp, understand and enjoy this vast love that He has for us and others.

Prayer:  Thank You for Your wonderful love.  Fill me with that great love that You have Lord that I can be an expression of Your love to other people.  I can not do it in my own strength so I look to You for that wonderful love.  I bless Your holy name.  Amen.

Ephesians 5:10 and find out what pleases the Lord.

• There are things that the Lord finds distasteful and He separated Himself from – 
• There are actually things that attract us to God.
• Throughout the word there are indicators of the things that excite, please, and attract God to us – let’s explore them continually and pursue them and He will make them known to us.

Prayer:  Hallelujah!  I want to please You in every way Lord, and I am looking for those things that please You and make You happy and not just man’s ideas or religious thoughts, but what Your word says that You are pleased with.  Teach me these things and I will follow them gladly.  Amen.

Hebrews 4:16 Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

• We have access to God’s throne in the Holy of Holies, because of the completed work of our Lord Jesus.
• We enter and come to Him with confidence, because of this wonderful salvation. 
• We receive grace in any time of need and we ought to go to Him into that place when we do have a need. 

Prayer:  Help me Lord to always direct all my need and my immediate solutions to You rather than to man.  Help me to lean on You I pray in the name of Jesus.  I look to You and praise You for all the times You have helped me.  I can not even count.  You are a faithful God in every way.  Amen.

Philippians 3:8 What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ

• After all things of the world that we want and pursued nothing compares to knowing Him.
• In fact, most things have absolutely no value after all the energy we put into it, so we focus more and more on the things that do matter – our wonderful Lord.
• Our value system changes the more we know Him.  He becomes more valuable than anything on this earth.

Prayer:  I lift my hands in praise and worship to You today Lord acknowledging there is no one like You that You are my Lord and my King and all these other things have no value to me besides You.  Amen.

1 Peter 5:7  Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

• In the devils attack or attempt to hurt us he wants us to stress and to become anxious, because then faith is gone.
• The casting of our cares on Him is a deliberate, conscious effort to give our concerns and stress to Him.
• We need to be on alert to those moments when we become anxious so that we never carry anxiety or any kind of anxious thoughts.  Let Him carry those burdens – that is what faith is all about.

Prayer:  Lord I do thank You that You take all my concerns, my anxiety and my stress.  I give it to You today and I pray Holy Spirit that You help me not to focus or continue thinking on these things, but to look to You for all my answers.  I bless Your holy name today.  Amen.

Ephesians 1:11 In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will,

• No question, God has a very specific purpose for each of us. 
• So often we think we have followed after Him and chosen Him, when whilst He has chosen us before the foundation of the world.
• God works out ‘everything’ align with that purpose.  There is a bigger hand in everything we see around us.  The almighty God!

Prayer:  How magnificent You are Lord.  I bless Your holy name today, because You are almighty and powerful and You have a destiny for me and have chosen me.  I am so grateful that I am part of Your plan.  Help me to yield to You in every way I pray in Jesus name.  Amen.
