My Morning Prayer: Conversations 5

My Morning Prayer: Conversations 5
-Roy Lessin and Marina Bromley


Conversations  5
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow
 
The tempter said to me:
You have a big opportunity before you that can be life changing. Don’t miss it. Your future depends upon it.
 
I answered:
I have placed my future in God’s hands. I will let Him decide. It’s always best to trust the One who already knows how things will turn out.
 
For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11 NLT).


No weapon formed against you shall prosper, 
And every tongue which rises against you in judgment 
You shall condemn. 
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, 
And their righteousness is from Me,” 
Says the Lord (Isaiah 54:17 NKJV).


My Morning Prayer
Marina Bromley

Good Morning Lord! Thank You for who You are, and all that You do for me and those I love. Thank You for the many provisions You give freely, and the way You have Your plan in motion for my life. I sometimes forget that You are aware of all the details, even the things I cannot see in the future. Please help me to remain in Your Word, that I might keep Your promises close to my heart. Help me to trust You in all ways, especially where my future is impacted. Help me to lay every decision at Your feet, knowing without a doubt that Your knowledge of each day that lies ahead of me is so much greater than my feelings or emotions in this moment. You are my future and I want to abide in You. In Jesus's name, amen.

Timely Tidbits of Truth 52

Timely Tidbits of Truth 52
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

Move Ahead With Freedom

To move ahead with confidence is to know that there is a God who goes before you as your captain and your guide.

To move ahead with freedom is to know that that same God is behind you as your rear guard to keep you from being defeated by any failures or disappointments of the past.

Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you (Deuteronomy 31:8 NLT).

You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head (Psalm 139:5 NLT).

Moving Ahead in God’s Will

Moving Ahead in God’s Will
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow
 
 
“Chance” and “luck” do not sit on the throne of heaven, but a loving, personal Creator does. Life is not a gamble and fate does not guide your destiny. God did not bring you into this world to live without a purpose, to exist without a reason, or function without meaning. He loves you, cares about you, and wants you to know Him and do His will.
 
He has chosen you and prepared you for the work He has called you to do. When your heart is set on His will, you will have the assurance that He will be to you all that you need. This confidence of faith allows you to move through each day with a peaceful spirit, inward rest, and quiet trust.  
 
In the coming year, remember these five important things regarding God’s will for your life:
 
Place—Be in God’s appointed place.
Peace—Let His peace keep you at rest in the place He has called you.
Purpose—Believe God’s purpose for you will be fulfilled in the place He has you.
Plan—Have confidence that nothing can frustrate God’s perfect plan for you.
Power—Receive His Spirit to equip and empower you to do what He has called you to do.

"Lo, I come to do thy will, O God..." (Hebrews 10:9 KJV).

My Morning Prayer: Conversations 4

My Morning Prayer: Conversations 4
-Roy Lessin and Marina Bromley

Conversations 4
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow
 
The tempter said to me:
I know you want the best things for your children. 
If you could give them one gift of great value would it be—property, cash, stocks, or precious metals?
 
I answered:
Regarding the treasures of this world, the best possession I can pray for my children is to have their hearts filled with contentment.
 
After all, we brought nothing with us when we came into the world, and we can’t take anything with us when we leave it. So if we have enough food and clothing, let us be content (1 Timothy 6:7-8 NLT).

No weapon formed against you shall prosper, 
And every tongue which rises against you in judgment 
You shall condemn. 
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, 
And their righteousness is from Me,” 
Says the Lord.
Isaiah 54:17 (NKJV).






My Morning Prayer
-Marina Bromley

Father, it is too easy to get caught up in the races of fame and fortune in today's world. I believe that it is even harder for my children and grandchildren to not measure their value by what they possess. Change our measuring point, Lord. Thank You for providing all that we need, before we even ask or think. Help us, Lord, to remember that You have clothed the sparrow and the lilies of the field, and their splendor is unmatched in the world. Make us value this gift of contentment, and to slow down to enjoy each thing You have placed around us. I desire to draw closer to You, and I pray the generations that come behind me will learn to value this commitment too. Help us to see You more clearly, Lord. We love You and praise You. In Jesus's name, amen.

Timely Tidbits of Truth 51

Timely Tidbits of Truth 51
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

Jesus pleased His Father. This was His joy. And what is best for Him is what is best for you. Make His heart glad and your heart will be happy. Fill Him with pleasure and your heart will be fulfilled.
 
...Everything was created through him and for him (Colossians 1:16 NLT).
 
And a voice from heaven said, “This is my dearly loved Son, who brings me great joy” (Matthew 3:17).
