~ A prayer for those who are hurting~

FEELING DEFEATED?
Going through a difficult time?
feel that satan has done his best to destroy everything
that you have tried to do for the Lord.
But, Praise God!
All I have to do is take authority over him
in the name of Jesus, and he has to flee!
My friend, if you are having a really tough time and
feel like you are losing your grip, just take the name of Jesus,
give Him your praise and then command
satan in Jesus', name to get out of your life and your
business, and throw him out!
Oh yes, he will be back
but you've got the power and authority in Jesus' name
to command him to get out every time he shows up!
And then just hold on! Help is on the way! Amen?
Keep Holding On

When you feel you've done your very best
but nothing turns out right,
Then get down on your knees my friend
and to God's promises hold on tight!
I'm sure He has the answer
and knows what's best for you,
And when you place your trust in him
the answer will come through!
Don't let worry and frustration
take it's toll on you,
Your God is there and He hears your
prayer and He knows just what to do!
He's never let you down before
and He'll see you through again
For when you have God on your side
you just can't help but win!
You may have to learn some patience
and on him learn to wait
But you'll find that it was well worth while
when you walk through heaven's gate!

God Loves You , Shouldn't You?

ROMANS 5:8 NKJ
8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we
were still sinners, Christ died for us.

God has proven His love for you. So don't doubt it.

What proves that God loves you more than you love yourself? He died in your place -- suffering the punishment for sin that you deserved, so you could go free.
God was more willing to suffer
Himself than to see you suffer.

Of course, the devil constantly tries to get you to doubt that God loves you.
That's why you must rely on what the Bible says
-- not what your feelings or circumstances may tell you.

You may think you don't love yourself -- maybe you think you hate yourself.
Even if you don't think too highly of what you
have done, you still love yourself in the sense that you desire the best for yourself. You don't desire pain or loss.

So it is with God -- He desires good for you -- even more than you do. And He demonstrated at Calvary that He would put your interest before His own.

1 JOHN 4:16 NKJ
16 And we have known and believed the love that God has for us.
God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.

There are at least two reasons why God loves you so much.
First, it is His nature to love. The Bible says that God is
love. Love is the word that best describes God's nature.

Second, you are His creation. God loves you just as good
earthly parents love their offspring. People may not seem very special to others, but to their mother and father they are special. This should help you understand how God could really like you -- even though you may not like yourself very
much.

Also, God sees you as you can be and will become -- not just as you are now.
God has faith in you and in His ability to make
you someone special.

SAY THIS: I choose to believe what the Bible says: God loves me.

DO YOU ?
Do you ever feel discouraged and dissatisfied? Do you ever have feelings of unrest and fear of the future?
Does the thought of death and the hereafter haunt you?

YOU ARE
Are you looking for an unconditional love? Someone who accepts you where you are and loves you no matter what? Look no further than a personal relationship with
Jesus Christ.

Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
1 Peter 5:7 NIV
Never let the enemy tell you that you re worthless or insignificant.
You have value in the eyes of God so great that it was worth dying for.

You are a blessing to the world.

~ A prayer for those who are hurting~


Lord, I come to You today asking for Your strength.

I pray that in the midst of my hurt, You would guide me today.

I pray that You would give me the assurance
that You are with me.

Help me to gaze upon Your beauty and to seek You.

I pray for peace as You supply my needs today.
Cloak and encompass me with the power of Your presence.

I pray that I would make the choice to trust You even
in this difficult time and to keep my eyes focused on the path You have for me.

Thank You, Jesus.
In Your holy name, amen.
