Dear Blessed Lord Jesus, good morning. I love you and thank you for this new day. Lord Jesus, I think you placed a divine sense of childlikeness within us and then gave us the gift of children so we could teach them to be more like you. Teach them to live in your freedom and do what is right, instead of being in chains for wrong doing. Thank you that you rekindle the passion and draw us nearer to you in the season of our lives. Thank you, praise and give you all the honor and glory! In Jesus name. Amen.

And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, and said, Verily I say unto you, except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 18:2-3

Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, who is this that darken counsel by words without knowledge? Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee and answer thou me. Where waste thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
Job 38:1-4

Dear Blessed Lord Jesus, good morning. I love you and thank you for this new day to breathe life. Father God, let others and myself praise you.

May we speak of the glorious splendor of Your Majesty and meditate on your wonderful works. Thank you, praise and give you all the honor and glory Jesus. Amen

I will mention the loving kindnesses of the LORD, and the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
Isaiah 63:7

Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. As the Father knows me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. John 10:7-15

Dear Blessed Lord Jesus, good morning. Father, I love you, thank you for this new day. Father God, you know all about gifts, for you gave us your Son Jesus, and you have given me many treasures in Him. Lead me to someone today whom I can bless by whatever I have to give. I thank you, praise and give you all the honor and glory Jesus. Amen.

And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices great abundance, and precious stones: neither was there any such spice as the queen of Sheba gave king Solomon. And the servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon, which brought gold from Ophir, brought algum trees and precious stones.
2 Chronicles 9:9-10

“Little Garden Will Expand”

The thought Of The Lord surrounds your little kingdom, waiting at the barrier you built to come inside and shine upon the Barron ground. See how life springs up everywhere! The living water comes, and the desert becomes a garden, green with flowering beauty and deep and quiet, offering rest to those who lost their way and wondered into the dust. Give them a place of refuge, prepared by love for them where once a desert was.
And everyone you welcome will bring love with them from Heaven for you. They enter one by one into His Holy place, but they will not depart as they had come, alone. The love they brought with them will stay with them, as it will stay with you. and under its beneficence your little garden will expand and reach out to everyone who thirsts for living water but has grown to weary to go on alone.
Life is so precious, embrace this.

Isaiah 43:19-25 NIV:
See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. The wild animals honor me, the jackals and the owls, because I provide water in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland, to give drink to my people, my chosen, the people I formed for myself that they may proclaim my praise. “Yet you have not called on me, Jacob, you have not wearied yourselves for me, Israel. You have not brought me sheep for burnt offerings, nor honored me with your sacrifices. I have not burdened you with grain offerings nor wearied you with demands for incense. You have not bought any fragrant calamus for me, or lavished on me the fat of your sacrifices. But you have burdened me with your sins and wearied me with your offenses. “I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions, for my own sake, and remembers your sins no more.

Dear Blessed Lord Jesus, good morning. I love you and thank you for this new day. Father God, teach me your wisdom and give me your strength, Lord, as I support and help others even as I rely on you. I thank you, praise and give you all the honor and glory Jesus. Amen.

And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God:
Ruth 1:16 

Dear Blessed Lord Jesus, good morning. Thank you for this new day. I love you and thank you even when I don’t feel the joy. I struggle with change sometimes. Others who are going through so much in their life’s. Father God, I just don’t know how you can control all your creation, knowing the wicked prosper and others who do their best to do right! Struggle! Forgive me for any mistakes I have made. Help me to remember, it is how I finish in this life, and I am rich in the things that matter now and all eternity. Father God, I love You, I thank you, praise You and give You all the honor and glory Jesus. Amen.

A wicked man hardeneth his face: but as for the upright, he directeth his way. There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD. The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD.
Proverbs 21:29-31 

Dear Blessed Lord Jesus, good morning. I love you and thank you for this new day. Thank You for this new day to breathe Your beauty.

So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants. O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil. Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children. And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.

Psalm 90:12-17 

“Prayer Is A Ladder”

You can but choose for yourself. Pray truly for your enemies, for herein lies your own salvation. Forgive them for your sins, and you will be forgiven indeed. Prayer is a ladder reaching up to Heaven. At the top there is a transformation much like your own, for prayer is a part of you. The things of earth are left behind, all unremembered. There is no asking, for there is no lack. Identity in Christ is fully recognized as set forever, beyond all change and incorruptible. 

Mark 11:25 – And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.”
