Morning 🌄 Prayer
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
2 Peter 3:10-11

Inspiration
This passage in Peter shows up nicely an idea that has been raised many times by Christ before, that the true value of a man is measured not by what he has, but by what he may do without. When all is burned up, when all possessions and vainglories are dissolved, when all but our body remains, who amongst us can truly claim to be able find comfort only in God? Who amongst us, could claim still, to be able to stand before the Lord, thankful and glad? The question thrown up by Peter is not a command to cast off our worldly goods and comfort, but rather it is a challenge to Christians, to challenge us to look within ourselves and ask who we truly are, and what is truly necessary in front of our Lord.

Prayer
Lord I stand before you, cleansed of all possessions. Naked I pray Lord, that my soul still remains pure and worthy of your paradise. Show me strength in your mercy, and trust in your word as the only everlasting truth into the beyond. Have faith in me, as I continue to long for thee beyond all earthly effects, riches and property. I ask this in the name of our Lord who art in Heaven, Amen.

Morning 🌄 Prayer

Shew me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths.
Psalm 25:4

Inspiration

We surrender our hearts to the Lord and seek to follow His ways by aligning our walk with His plan. There is nothing more important than the will of God, and we will make it a priority in our daily lives. We will wake each morning, thank Him for His blessings, and ask what we can do for Him. We will help those in need and continue to spread the Good News as directed because we are devoted to our loving Father.

Prayer

Dear Father, We find peace and comfort in Your arms, and we are devoted to You. We ask for Your direction today so we may live according to Your will. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

God is my protector. Amen

But then, indeed, when you did not know God, you served those which by nature are not god's. But now after you have known God, or rather known by God, how is it that you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bo***ge? You observe days and months and seasons and years. I am afraid for you, lest I have labored for you in vain.
Brethren, I urge you to become like me, for I became like you. You have not injured me at all.

Galatians 4:8-12

What is it like to finally hold what has long seemed denied? How does it feel when God finally answers parayers passionately offered to Him over many years?
When we wait on God, He brings what HE determines is best, in His perfect timing.
Not every prayer brings our desired outcome, but God promises His presence qnd sufficiency at every point in our journey. God knows whether we will see our hard-fought battles won in this life or in eternity. Even when our deepest longings go unmet and our prayers seem unanswered, He is faithful. God can be trusted.
~MYBSF~ Lesson 13
God bless

Jesus, keep me near the cross,
There a precious fountain—
Free to all, a healing stream—
Flows from Calv’ry’s mountain.
Refrain:
In the cross, in the cross,
Be my glory ever;
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river.
Near the cross, a trembling soul,
Love and Mercy found me;
There the bright and morning star
Sheds its beams around me.
Near the cross! O Lamb of God,
Bring its scenes before me;
Help me walk from day to day,
With its shadows o’er me.
Near the cross I’ll watch and wait
Hoping, trusting ever,
Till I reach the golden strand,
Just beyond the river.
