A Time for Everything.
There is a time for everything,
And a season for every activity under the heavens:
A time to be born and a time to die,
A time to plant and a time to uproot,
A time to kill and a time to heal,
A time to tear down and a time to build,
A time to weep and a time to laugh,
A time to mourn and a time to dance,
A time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, A time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
A time to search and a time to give up,
A time to keep and a time to throw away,
A time to tear and a time to mend,
A time to be silent and a time to speak,
A time to love and a time to hate,
A time for war and a time for peace.
What do workers gain from their toil? I have seen the burden God has laid on the human race. He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God. I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that people will fear him. Whatever is has already been, and what will be has been before; and God will call the past to account. And I saw something else under the sun: In the place of judgment—wickedness was there, in the place of justice—wickedness was there. I said to myself, “God will bring into judgment both the righteous and the wicked for there will be a time for every activity, a time to judge every deed.” I also said to myself, “As for humans, God tests them so that they may see that they are like the animals. Surely the fate of human beings is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath; humans have no advantage over animals. Everything is meaningless. All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return. Who knows if the human spirit rises upward and if the spirit of the animal goes down into the earth?” So I saw that there is nothing better for a person than to enjoy their work, because that is their lot. For who can bring them to see what will happen after them?

For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. Ephesians 2:14-17

Amen He made known to us the mysteries of His will, according to His kind intention which He purposed in Him with a view to an administration suitable to the fulness of the times, that is, the summing up of all things in Christ, things in the Heavens, and things upon the earth. Ephesians 1:9-10

Those who went ahead and those who followed shouted, “Hosanna!” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! “Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!” “Hosanna in the highest heaven!”

I thank You, praise You and give You all the glory in Your Precious Name Jesus Amen. Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again. And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. Luke 6:30-31 KJV
Dear Blessed Lord Jesus, good morning. I love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory for this new day to breathe which is a gift from You. Lord Jesus, too often my mind is distracted from You onto the things of this world, especially when times are hard, sad and depressing. I believe and want to keep my mind fixed on You, knowing that this is Your best will for me. I believe that I be aware of the Spirit’s promptings in my life, so that day by day, my heart and mind may become Your light Lord Jesus. Jesus let Your nature be reflected through my actions, attitude and my life be transformed daily, by the renewing of my mind which is Your gift to me. Guide my life with what Your will is for me. I believe I will do only those things that are good, and acceptable and perfect in Your sight. I thank You, praise You and give You all the glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Romans 12:2
National Day of Prayer should be every moment of each day.
Some call this the prayer of an unknown confederate soldier; others say it was found on the body of a World War one soldier. The author is lost. I have no doubt that this prayer is the cry of all our hearts, especially in light of world events. “Prayer” I asked for strength that I might achieve.
I was made weak that I might learn humbly to obey.
I asked for health that I might do greater things.
I was given infirmity that I might do better things.
I asked for riches that I might be happy.
I was given poverty that I might be wise.
I asked for power that I might have the praise of people.
I was given weakness that I might feel the need of God.
I asked for all things that I might enjoy life;
I was given life that I might enjoy all things.
I got nothing that I had asked for,
Everything that I had hoped for.
Almost despite myself my unspoken prayers were answered,
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! Matthew 7:7-11 NIV
Prayer isn’t a ritual that depends on closing our eyes and putting on holy faces. We don’t have to kneel or sit. Prayer is talking while were walking, driving, or working. We don’t even have to open our mouth to talk cause God hears our heart. God responds to our cry for help in the middle of a busy afternoon. When we read the bible He gives us His input that can help us through anything. Praying doesn’t have to be hard. God wants us to communicate with Him. He is our Abba Father, friend and the one who is here for us when everyone walks out. He saves, guides, provides, encourages, Bless’s and provides miracles with His promises. God is our all and all. Embrace Him today like He embraces you when you are unaware of Him, He holds you still. National Day of Prayer is everyday. “Isaiah 41:13 For I am the LORD your God, who takes hold of your right hand and tells you: Do not fear, I will help you.“
