My Morning Prayer: Answered Prayer

My Morning Prayer: Answered Prayer
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

Although we may not all have children, we are each a child of God. Feel free to pray this over your own life, your children, or the kids around you. -Marina

Promise 
I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him. So now I give him to the LORD. For his whole life he will be given over to the LORD.” 1 Samuel 1:27-28 NIV

 

Prayer
Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your full, generous, giving heart. I thank You that You invite me, encourage me, and welcome me to come to You in prayer, to sit at Your banqueting table and dine with You, to be in Your presence and enjoy You.

 

I thank You I can bring to You the prayers of my heart—carrying with them my deepest longings and strongest desires. I thank You that You have heard my hearts cry and that You have given me, through my children, more than I could ask or dream.

 

What a blessing and joy each one is to me. They help me in so many ways to see and understand Your heart more clearly.

 

Today, I affirm anew, that the gift of my children that You have given to me, I fully give back to You. I place them within Your hands and Your keeping. Continue to give me the wisdom I need to guide their steps in Your pathway and to help them know Your plan and purpose for every step of their lives.

Fret-Free Friday: Refuse Anxiety

Fret-Free Friday: Refuse Anxiety
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life (Proverbs 4:23 AMP).

When an anxious thought comes knocking on the door of your mind, you can refuse it entrance. If you invite it in, it will have dinner with you, and if it has dinner with you, it will quickly move in and want to spend the night.

...

Believers have much to gather along the way, while doubters travel with empty baskets.

...

Without faith it is impossible to please [God], for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Hebrews 11:6

Part 35: Knowing His Best...Walking in Rest!

Part 35: Knowing His Best...Walking in Rest!
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

Knowing His Best...
And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. 2 Corinthians 9:8 NLT

Walking in Rest!
Rest finds its sufficiency in Christ. Rest doesn't say, "I can do it." It says, "God can do it through me." In rest you never lean on your own understanding or depend upon your own resources.

As you rest you are totally dependent on Him for all things — you exchange your weakness for His strength...your emptiness for His fullness...your failure for His success...your defeat for His victory...your heaviness for His joy...your uncleanness for His righteousness...your restlessness for His peace.

My Morning Prayer: A Prayer of Abundance

My Morning Prayer: A Prayer of Abundance
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

Young men and young women, old men and children. Let them all praise the name of the Lord. For His name is very great; His glory towers over the earth and heaven! He has made His people strong, honoring His faithful ones. Psalm 148:12-14 NLT

Prayer
Father, may we daily see You, hear You, and love You. May we taste and see that You are good. May we touch You with the hand of faith and know the reality of Your presence.

 

May our days be full of joy and may our lives be daily blessed.

 

I ask that we will know, more and more, how great You are, how glorious are Your ways, how awesome are Your works. May we sing Your songs of joy.  May we speak Your words of life. May we sound forth Your praises. May worship fill our spirits. May truth fill our minds. May wisdom fill our understanding. May our tongues bring forth constant gratitude and thankfulness.

 

Lord, keep us strong in Your strength; keep us blessed with Your blessings; keep us full in Your abundance as we see Your faithfulness revealed to us day by day.

Has He ever forsaken you?
Will He forsake you now?

He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5).

Be strong, courageous, and firm; fear not nor be in terror before them, for it is the Lord your God Who goes with you; He will not fail you for forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6 AMP).

Has He ever stopped watching over you?
Will He watch over you now?

The LORD keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever (Psalm 121:8 NLT).

Has He ever turned His love away from you?

Will He turn His love away from you now?

The Lord appeared from of old to me [Israel], saying, Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn you and continued My faithfulness to you (Jeremiah 31:3 AMP).

Has He ever ceased to be faithful?
Will He be faithful now?

The Lord is faithful and will strengthen you and protect you against the evil one (2 Thessalonians 3:3 GW).
