HAPPY SPRING, EVERYONE! YIPPEE! IT’S HERE AT LAST!!!!

HERE ARE A COUPLE OF SCRIPTURES TO ENCOURAGE YOU ABOUT WHAT GOD GAVE US, AND WHAT HE DID NOT GIVE US.

THE WORDS, “FEAR NOT, FOR I AM WITH YOU”, IN THE FOLLOWING SCRIPTURE VERSE, WERE USED AS LYRICS FOR A POPULAR CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN GOSPEL SONG THAT I HAVE SUNG IN CHURCH WORSHIP SERVICES.

“fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” (Isaiah 41:10, The Holy Bible, English Standard Version © copyright 2001)

“…God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” (2 Timothy 1:7, The Holy Bible, King James Version)

A BIBLE PROMISE FOR PEACE

“… the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, 

will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:7, The Holy Bible, New International Version © copyright 2011)

CHEER UP!

BE ENCOURAGED. GOD KNOWS YOUR TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS. 

“Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up.” (Proverbs 12:25, The Holy Bible, New International © copyright 2011)

CHOOSE LIFE AND BLESSINGS!

 HERE’S A SCRIPTURE TO ENCOURAGE YOU:

“I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live. (Deuteronomy 30:19, The Holy Bible, New International Version © copyright 2011)

A SAINT PATRICK'S DAY BLESSING

‎"The LORD bless thee and keep thee: the LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. (Numbers 6:24-26)

HOW TO PRAY THE LORD’S PRAYER TO OUR FATHER.

 IF YOU KNOW HOW TO DO IT, AS THE SNEAKER AD SAYS, “JUST DO IT.” LIKE A CHAMPION ATHLETE, RUN THE RACE AS IF TO WIN.

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.” (Hebrews 12:1, The Holy Bible, New International Version)

PRAY THIS PRAYER FERVENTLY.

 “Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.’ (James 5:16)

 THE FOLLOWING SCRIPTURE PASSAGE IS A JEWEL FROM HEAVEN. JUST DO IT! THIS TELLS YOU HOW:

5”…when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

9“This, then, is how you should pray:

“ ‘Our Father in heaven,

hallowed be your name,

10your kingdom come,

your will be done,

on earth as it is in heaven.

11Give us today our daily bread.

12And forgive us our debts,

as we also have forgiven our debtors.

13And lead us not into temptation,^a

but deliver us from the evil one.^b ’

14For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.” (Matthew 6:5-15, The Holy Bible, New International Version © copyright 2011)

May God richly bless you,
