God Bless.

Adapted from Quiet Times with God

I press on toward the goal to win the [heavenly] prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

 Philippians 3:14 (AMP)

Setting daily goals helps you see certain dreams come true. That’s because dreams are realized one step at a time, one decision at a time, one goal at a time.

Goals are essential if you want to be successful in life. It is pointless and even frustrating to have a big dream for your future, or even a small plan for the day, without setting goals on how you expect to see those things come true.

When you have a goal and move with a purpose, good things will happen for you. You may not know how everything is going to work out. You may not have all the answers for the day ahead. But if you set a goal (or two, or three), you’ll be amazed at how helpful it can be in improving your outlook for the day ahead.

Whether you’re a stay-at-home parent, a full-time employee, a student, a business owner, or a volunteer, goal setting can help you feel more enthusiastic and joyful about your day ahead.

Prayer Starter: Father, thank You for loving me. I want to feel more enthusiastic and joyful about my day ahead. Please help me make realistic goals today that I can meet, with Your help.

God Knows Your Frustrations

I hope these word's encourage you.

He really does know everything and cares even if it doesn't look or feel like it.

God Bless.

God Knows Your Frustrations 

You may think, "Nobody knows what I'm going through, nobody feels the pain I'm experiencing." But God knows!

He knows your feelings and frustrations. He's seen the crisis in your soul. There's no hurt that goes unnoticed by God. Psalm 56:8 says, "You know how troubled I am; you have kept a record of my tears." (Good News) Often when we're hurting, we feel very isolated and lonely. Maybe there's been a death in the family, a divorce, maybe we've gotten fired, and we start to think, "Nobody understands the way I feel; nobody can tell the way I feel; nobody feels the pain." But God knows, and "The LORD is like a father to his children, tender and compassionate to those who fear him." (Psalms 103:13 NLT) 

God not only sees, He cares! He knows the causes, the reasons, the things that brought you to this point. He understands because he made you, and he sees the hurt in your heart like nobody else can. Because God knows our frustrations and despair, we can give those feelings to God: "Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about what happens to you." (1 Peter 5:7 NLT) 

Cast them all permanently on God, once and for all, and then, don't take them back.

I Alone

Some food for thought.

God Bless.


I Alone

I--yes, I alone--will blot out your sins for my own sake and will never think of them again. (NLT) -Isaiah 43:25

Contrary to popular belief, we can never be good enough to rescue ourselves from sin. Only God can wipe away our sins because of His love for us. In addition, the ability to forgive and forget is a power that comes from God alone. The source of this power is rooted in love. Without love, we are truly unable to forgive and forget.
