Nehemiah 8:10 NIV: Nehemiah said, “Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”

“The joy of the Lord is my strength.“

It isn’t loud joy. It isn’t jumping‑up‑and‑down joy. It’s the quiet, steady kind, the kind that shows up after the tears, when your spirit settles and you remember who holds you.

It’s the joy that:

Steadies your hands.

Fills your home with color and life.

Helps you create and plant.

Father God, thank You and praise You for the joy that gives me strength. Thank You for keeping my spirit steady today. As I prepare, grant me calm and clarity, and cover my home, family, and friends with Your protection. Let Your peace fills every room I’ve worked hard to restore and be present in all I do today. Let Your joy rise in me again, quiet, deep, and unshakable. Be my strength today and my confidence throughout this life. Love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

Father God, thank You for the joy that steadies me. When my strength feels small, let Your joy rise in me again. Fill my heart with light, lift my spirit, and remind me that Your presence is my strength every day. Love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen and Amen.

Nehemiah 8:10 “For the joy of the Lord is your strength.”

Father God, quiet my heart tonight. Let Your calm settle over every worry and let Your presence steady every step. Fill my home, my mind, and my spirit with Your peace that nothing can shake. Love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen and Amen.

John 14:27 “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”

They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. John 8:4-7

Dear Blessed Lord Jesus, good morning. I love you and thank you for this new day. Father God, You never cease to amaze me. I was so honored to see this “Magnolia Butterfly” still flying in this cold weather while I was walking with you. Thank you for your beauty. Lord Jesus, You are our forever friend, the many ways You Bless us. I pray for Your children, those of all ages and of all places. Open their ears that they will hear Your knock and Your voice calling them. Open their hearts that they will welcome You into their lives. I thank you, praise and give You all the honor and glory Lord Jesus. Amen

Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
Revelation 3:20-22

Dear Blessed Lord Jesus, good morning. I love you and thank you for all the people you have guided in my lifetime. Many was a learning experience. Although it taught me well to wait on you. Father God, may I never forget to call on you and wait in every situation for the best outcome. I want to meet with you everyday of my life and bring you my adoration, confession, thanksgiving and supplications. Thank you for being willing to be within the sound of my voice and only a thought distance away. For I know this so well from not having a voice for awhile and seeing no one understood me even when I wrote the messages they didn’t get the picture on my needs. But through you, Father, you sent the ones who understood you. I praise you for your faithfulness. I thank you, praise and give you all the honor and glory Lord Jesus. Amen.

I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.

My soul hath them still in remembrance and is humbled in me. This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. It is of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.

For the word of God is quick and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of the soul and spirit and of the joins and marrow and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Hebrews 4:12
