way Jesus lived when he was on Earth trusting his heavenly father to take care of the details for him think about it the salvation of the whole world depended on Jesus and he followed his father's plan the salvation of the whole world depended on his word being spread but he never once wrote anything down nor did he ever say to his disciples is anyone taking notes here this is important the salvation of the whole world depended on the formation and spread of his church but he called a bunch of fishermen and outcasts to get this

and my salvation so why should I be afraid the Lord is my Fortress protecting me from danger so why should I tremble when evil people come to devour me when my enemies and foes attack me they will stumble and fall though a mighty Army surrounds me my heart will not be afraid even if I am attacked I will remain confident the one thing I ask of the Lord the thing I seek most is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life delighting in the Lord's Perfection and meditating in his

Temple for he will conceal me there when troubles come he will hide me in his Sanctuary he will place me Out Of Reach on a high Rock then I will hold my head high above my enemies who surround me at his Sanctuary I will offer sacrifices with shouts of Joy singing and praising the Lord with music hear me as I pray oh Lord be merciful and answer me my heart has heard you say come and talk with me and my heart responds Lord I am coming do not turn your back on me do not reject

we thank you for hearing this prayer it's in the mighty name of Jesus Christ that we pray amen what one thing that you should know about the Lord is that when God's presence comes into your life there will be a clear and significant effect on the life of a Believer one of the biggest signs that God is with you is that you will come to know a piece that is beyond all human understanding if you cast your mind to Mark 4 from verse 35 to 41 when Jesus spoke to a storm there are a few

points I'd like to highlight the disciples were in a boat and they encountered a storm now we as Believers are in our own boats and in this boat called life we will all encounter storms now our first reaction tends to be much like the disciples we go into a a panicked state where we encounter a storm but when the disciples woke Jesus up and he spoke peace into that storm the disciples realized something they weren't on that boat alone they weren't on that boat with just anybody once they called on Jesus and he spoke to

the storm they realized who he is the disciples realized Ed that they were on that boat with the King of Kings the Lord of lords and the prince of peace now as we are on our own journey in this life when we encounter storms one of the clearest and most significant signs in our lives that God is with us is peace regardless of the storm when you have Jesus Christ Christ in your life you have the Prince of Peace when you have Jesus Christ in your life you have peace beyond all comprehension now the second

clear and significant sign that God is with you in life is that you will see evidence of his hand over your life whether you believe it or not God is interested in every single area of your life even the seemingly little and insignificant things in Exodus 13 verse 21 the Bible says and the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them along the way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light that they might travel by day and by night God's hand was leading the children

of Israel and you see God is a way maker he used a pillar of cloud to guide the Israelites during the day and a pillar of Fire by night and in our own lives God's hand can be seen in the little things the accident that could have taken your life but you came out unscathed God's hand can be seen in the seasons where you had little but he provided it can be seen in those situations where you should have been broken you should have had a meltdown but somehow you found strength somehow you found joy

that's the hand of God now let us pray my heavenly father we thank thank you for your goodness we thank you for loving us sustaining us giving us life and above all thank you for caring so much that you gave your only begotten son so that we may not perish but have eternal life because of you King Jesus we can say that we are redeemed we are loved and we are set free by the blood of Jesus Christ there is no one else like you father I thank you King Jesus for being our Rock and

pillar in this world we will rejoice always we will give you our thanks in all circumstances because you have good plans for our lives that is divine and for a greater purpose so we trust that all of our steps are ordered by you we have confidence in your word that tells us to approach the throne of grace boldly and that if I ask anything according to your will then I know that you will hear me thank you for being good to us thank you for being patient with us your word says in Psalms 4:1 answer

me when I call to you my righteous God give me relief from my distress have mercy on me and hear my prayer We Trust and Believe In You King Jesus that you will answer us when we call out your name you offer us relief from distress you offer wholeness from loneliness or insecurities you offer us love and accept when the world would choose to condemn us and for that we are grateful Lord you deserve all glory all the glory for your awesome power so great are your abilities that you measured the waters in each and

every ocean each River and all of the Seas we praise you because there is no limit to your abilities there's nothing that you cannot do just as the book of Isaiah says whom did the Lord consult to Enlighten him who was it that taught him knowledge there is no one who can Enlighten you because you are the God of Light there is nothing that anyone can teach you because you are filled with Infinite Wisdom your ways are higher than ours your thoughts are higher than our thoughts it's because you are a god of great power

might and strength that I adore you and Praise Your Name Lord if you had never loved me if you had never saved me then father where would I be Isaiah 40:22 says it is he who sits above the circle of the earth and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers who stretches out the heavens like a curtain and spreads them like a tent to dwell in there are no words to properly describe your awesome nature your infinite wisdom and your Supernatural power so today we offer up our praises to you there is nothing else that we can

give you but our hearts our praise and our adoration you are our unfailing protector who gives us an eternal home you are a God who watches over us and our families and I praise you for you have never let me down I thank you for dying on the cross for me to set me free from my sins I pray that my relationship with you will continue to be strengthened day by day may I continue to grow and be closer and more intimate with you thank you for hearing this prayer in jesus' name I pray amen

Lord God Almighty this world can be a dark place but we look to you Jes Jesus to be the bright lamp that guides our feet I pray oh Lord that every past hurt every past mistake or past loss that weighs heavy on the heart of whoever is listening may be removed by your Everlasting power Philippians 4: 6-8 do not be anxious about anything but in every situation by prayer and petition with Thanksgiving present your requests to God and the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus

finally brothers and sisters whatever is true whatever is Noble whatever is right whatever is pure whatever is lovely whatever is admirable if anything is excellent or praiseworthy think about such things Our Hope For Tomorrow Is Anchored in you because you never fail our faith is in you because you are faithful even when we are faithless we choose to come to you we choose to set our minds on your word we make the choice to trust you no matter the pain or the circumstance we even choose to pray today despite all that we face and in

line with your word we choose not to be anxious not to worry we choose to believe that you're always with us and in control our healing Is Anchored In You Because by your stripes we are healed I pray for everyone listening right now and declare that broken hearts are mended today in the name of Jesus troubled minds are given peace I ask you Holy Spirit to be so close to us that we can feel your presence in our hearts and in our homes we cast all our burdens to you Lord we lean on you where

else can we run to but to you you have delivered and healed in the past and you will do it again in every season of Our Lives May you lead us God thank you that you reminded us throughout your word we do not face the storms alone but you are always with us Whispering calm speaking peace bringing rest to our souls and God we believe you just as your word says in the book of 2 Corinthians we may be afflicted in every way but we are not crushed we may be perplexed but we are not

driven to despair we may be persecuted but we are not forsaken struck down but not destroyed I thank you for caring for us I thank you that the Peace of your loving and strong presence guards and protects the hearts and minds of each person listening father I thank you for listening to this prayer only the peace that comes from you will calm our hearts and sustain us through the Troubles of life I pray that you will help us to not let our hearts be troubled because that's not your will for us be blessed now and

forever more Lord Jesus [Music] amen but here's what the Bible says in Matthew 6: 25-27 therefore I tell you do not be anxious about your life what you will eat or what you will drink nor about your body what you will put put on is not life more than food and the body more than clothing look at the birds of the air they neither seow nor reap nor gather into Barns and yet your heavenly father feeds them are you not of more value than they and which of you by being anxious can add a single

hour to his span of life I believe that the Lord wants us to stop worrying to stop pondering and wondering about what might happen tomorrow stop spending your effort and your energy by thinking about what could happen tomorrow or even that what should happen you are blessed in this very moment and on this day one Pastor said don't borrow trouble which means don't worry about all of the wha ifs we could face someday what if there is a health crisis a financial setback or even this type of problem don't borrow trouble from the future but

instead walk by faith and not by sight so I encourage you today to stay present with the Lord stay present in your mind and in your soul by acknowledging Psalm 118: 24 this is the day that the Lord Lord has made we will rejoice and be glad in it now let us pray Lord Jesus we praise you your word in 2 Corinthians 12:9 says my grace is sufficient for you for my strength is made perfect in weakness therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities that the power of Christ May rest upon me

you are with us Lord and we are grateful as your children we are grateful that you are with us and your grace is always available and sufficient for our needs we choose to focus on the Healer instead of the sickness we choose to focus on the provider instead of the lack we choose to focus on the way maker instead of the obstacles ahead we choose to focus on you King Jesus because we find favor in you we find protection in you we find Mercy in you we put all focus and attention on you we magnify

you above Jesus we magnify you above the Troubles of Tomorrow we magnify you and put you above every Health crisis every Financial setback in every problem father God we will not worry about tomorrow because of your word father we sincerely ask that you would open your ears to hear our cry give us a mind filled with peace and during those times in which my heart is heavy I pray that you would make my burdens light whenever the attacks of the enemy are many I pray that you would defend me Lord fight for me and my

family fight my battles Lord though the adversary prowls around like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour I confess that I will be kept safe by the blood of Jesus Christ God will intervene in my circumstances God will take away the worry and give me peace in my heart may you intervene in my Affairs and show your might David cried in Psalm 35:1 and said plead my cause oh Lord with those who strive with me fight against those who fight against me and so today I too will call upon the name of the Lord

so that he may plead my cause I will call on the name of the Lord when I need divine intervention I will ask ask you my Father in heaven to step in just as you did for Daniel for Elijah and even for Elisha we invite you Lord Jesus to move in a mighty way move in a mighty way in our lives Lord clear every trap that the devil has hidden in my path I pray that you would guard my mind against discouraging and depressing thoughts I reuke all thoughts of worry and anxiety about what tomorrow

holds about what the future may hold instead I choose to have peace because I will have faith in you Lord and when the enemy throws darts of confusion of depression doubt and even despair trying to weaken my faith or steal my joy I pray Lord Jesus that you will protect my mind with the helmet of salvation even in this present moment if if I do struggle to live with the uncertainty of this world and all that is going on I pray that you would help me to keep my mind focused on you I bless your

holy name and I thank you for hearing this prayer in the mighty name of Jesus Christ I pray amen Heavenly Father we thank you right now now for another opportunity to praise you another opportunity to worship you another opportunity to fellowship with you in prayer and Lord as we come to you right now we come asking you to help us guard our hearts Lord fill our hearts with your word fill our hearts with your spirit help us to be vigilant against every force of evil evil and every cunning lie of man God help us to

be in the world but not of it help us to be in this world but not love it Empower us to be a strong Godly influence in this world rather than for us to be influenced by this world Lord Jesus help us to be salt in this earth help us to be light in darkness your word says in Philippians 4:8 finally brothers and sisters whatever is true whatever is Noble whatever is right whatever is pure whatever is lovely whatever is admirable if anything is excellent or praiseworthy think about such things Lord I pray that I

would not be like a sponge that absorbs all the filth of this world no Lord instead let me be like a mirror let me be like a mirror that reflects your goodness for everyone to see Let each of us be like mirrors that reflect your love Lord our prayer is that you would create clean Hearts within us renew a right Spirit within us give us the grace to make our ways pure before your sight whenever sinful desires start creeping in give us the strength King Jesus to resist the devil and father I pray that you

would forgive me if at times I let things get into my heart that may end up hindering my walk with you and I know that these things they'd only destroy me physically spiritually emotionally if I continue to hold on to them so God I'm asking you to give me the awareness to recognize those things give me the strength to get rid of them Father I know that you've told me in your word to guard my heart and so Lord I ask that the Holy Spirit would speak to me and help me to be the gatekeeper

of My Heart Lord help me to let nothing enter except what is Godly what is pure what is pleasing in your eyes your word says in James 4:8 draw near to God and He will draw near to you cleanse your hands you Sinners and purify your hearts you double-minded Lord give us hearts that seek only to be closer to you I know that from my heart flow the Springs of Life so help me to guard it with my life give me a hunger to open your word daily and to Simply soak in your lifegiving truth

God may I be so filled with your spirit that I can no longer stand to be in the presence of anything contrary to your will 2 Timothy 2: 21 says therefore if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable he will be a vessel for honorable use set apart as holy useful to the master of the house ready for every good work father than thank you for setting me apart you've called me out of this wicked and evil generation and you've shown me the joy that comes with following and obeying you I Delight in you father

and I pray that you would have mercy on me father I thank you for your mercy and I thank you for giving me a fresh start I know that I fall short of the glory of God but I also know that there there is no heart that is too damaged or too broken there's no heart that's too stained by sin that it can't be washed clean in the blood of the Lamb all glory be to Christ forever and ever in Jesus name amen the Bible says in Matthew 14:25 to 27 about 3:00 in the morning

Jesus Jesus came toward them walking on the water when the disciples saw him walking on the water they were terrified In Their Fear they cried out it's a ghost but Jesus spoke to them at once don't be afraid he said take courage I am here I am intrigued by this story because when I think of Jesus Christ walking on water I see it as a great illustration of the Limitless power of God if you are someone who is pragmatic and logical it doesn't make sense to hear that someone walked on water it's against the rules

of Nature and so I actually find this event Jesus walking on water it's an act of defiance it's him saying that the laws of nature apply to you as humans but but they don't apply to me as God Jesus walking on water is him saying physics are a boundary for you but the laws of physics don't apply to me Gravity May limit you but gravity has no impact on me Saints what I am trying to tell you is that nothing is impossible for Jesus nothing is incurable for Jesus nothing is Out Of Reach for Jesus

and I pray that this word would inspire you when you're in the middle of a tough situation it can be hard to see beyond the present but I want to encourage you to step out in faith reach out for the hand of Jesus Christ and he will deliver you when you find that there is Darkness all around you and you find find it difficult to smile you find it difficult to be happy reach out for the hand of the one who walks on water and he will save you and this message is for the ears

of someone who really is going through difficult circumstances maybe you're in a dry season and you find yourself on unstable ground well Saints where we are limited the Lord is Limitless where we see challenges the Lord sees opportunities opportunities for him to demonstrate his love for you opportunities for him to demonstrate his might and power to you don't ever become disheartened because you're surrounded by water and what I mean by that is in Matthew 14 when the disciples were in the boat they had nowhere to go they were essentially trapped if you got out of

the boat you worried about drowning if you're in the boat you're still slightly worried about sinking or capsizing so the disciples were surrounded by water they were Bound by water but here came Jesus walking on the very thing that threatened the disciples the very thing that restrained and limited the disciples in what Jesus used to demonstrate his Superior power so don't be discouraged because you're surrounded by water don't be frightened because you're surrounded by water call out to Jesus the one who walks on the water so even if if you're battered by the waves of

life you can call on Jesus now let us pray Lord Jesus we praise and we worship you we praise you because you are Unlimited in your power we may be bound by the laws of nature but you are not like man you are not bound or restricted or limited by the things that limit us Lord your word says in Psalm 147: 4-5 he determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name great is our Lord and mighty in power his understanding has no limit be glorified Lord Jesus you are great and awesome

I pray that would help us to step out in faith and trust you always we can't always change my circumstances but we will decide to trust in you fully Lord Jesus help us to fight the good fight of Faith Lord and father change our attitudes and change our outlook on life so that we will always walk by faith and not by sight James 1: 2:4 says my brethren count it all joy when you fall into various trials knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience but let patience have its perfect work that you may

be perfect and complete lacking nothing help us King Jesus to have a faith that is strong and resilient help us Lord to have the faith that believes you will Outlast all of our problems Lord Jesus you are a holy God you are a righteous God you alone are the one who moves mountains and causes walls to fall we know that regardless of everything happening around us regardless of the things going on in this world you are still in control you are still on your throne and you are still a good God one who will never

leave us nor forsake us your word in Isaiah 43:1 16 says thus says the Lord who makes a way in the sea and a path through the mighty Waters you Lord Lord will make a way in the desert you will create rivers in the desert you are still a God who makes a way where there seems to be no way when we are surrounded by the enemy you are a God who delivers We Praise You Lord because when it looks as though the Red Sea of the unknown will overcome us we will call out your

name the name that is above every name Jes Jesus Christ and you will rescue us we ask you Lord to split the Sea of uncertainty before us turn the unstable ground we on into solid and steady ground Lord speak the words peace be still in the storms that we Face calm the seas in our lives Lord we trust in you to be the solution we we are trusting you to be the chain breaker to be the way out for whatever it is that comes against us be with us as we continue to fight and strive

to walk by faith and not by sight give us the strength to always hold on to our Mighty savior that is Jesus Christ for in him and him alone we can find Deliverance you alone are our Rock and refuge so we run to you be praised and glorified King Jesus continue to strengthen our faith in jesus' name I pray amen we live in a stressful World there are worries about wars and elections and pandemics on a person personal level there are worries about jobs children marriages money in fact the American Medical Association has estimated that

opposition to us but we trust you to fight the battles for us the enemy will do what he can to try and bind us to try to keep us in Chains but Lord we trust that you will Deliver Us you Lord Jesus Will rescue us may you take all of the glory for every victory in my life may your name be glorified each time we overcome father we thank you for hearing this prayer it's in the mighty name of Jesus Christ that we pray amen one thing that you should know about the Lord is that

when God's presence comes into your life there will be a clear and significant effect on the life of a Believer one of the biggest signs that God is with you is that you will come to know a pieace that is beyond all human understanding if you cast your mind to Mark 4 from verse 35-41 When Jesus spoke to a storm there are a few points I'd like to highlight the disciples were in a boat and they encountered a storm now we as Believers are in our own boats and in this boat called life we will

all encounter storms now our first reaction tends to be much like the disciples we go into a panicked state where we encounter a storm but when the disciples woke Jesus up and he spoke peace into that storm the disciples realized something they weren't on that boat alone they weren't on that boat with just anybody once they called on Jesus and he spoke to the storm they realized who he is the disciples realized that they were on that boat with the King of Kings the Lord of lords and the prince of peace now as we are

on our own journey in this life when we encounter storms one of the clearest and most significant signs in our lives that God is with us is peace regardless of the storm when you have Jesus Christ in your life you have the Prince of Peace when you have Jesus Christ in your life you have peace beyond all comprehension now the second clear and significant sign that God is with you in life is that you will see evidence of his hand over your life whether you believe it or not God is interested in every single area

of your life even the seemingly little and insignificant things in Exodus 13: 21 the Bible says and the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them along the way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light that they might travel by day and By Night God's hand was leading the children of Israel and you see God is a way maker he used pillar of cloud to guide the Israelites during the day and a pillar of Fire by night and in our own lives God's hand can

be seen in the little things the accident that could have taken your life but you came out unscathed God's hand can be seen in the seasons where you had little but he provided it can be seen in those situations where you should have been broken you should have had a meltdown but somehow you found strength somehow you found joy that's the hand of God now let us pray my heavenly father we thank you for your goodness we thank you for loving us sustaining us giving us life and above all thank you for caring so much

that you gave your only begotten son so that we may not perish but have eternal life because of you King Jesus we can say that we are redeemed we are loved and we are set free by the blood of Jesus Christ there is no one else like you father I thank you King Jesus for being our Rock and pillar in this world we will rejoice always we will give you our thanks in all circumstances because you have good plans for our lives that is divine and for a greater purpose so we trust that all of

our steps are ordered by you we have confidence in your word that tells us to approach the throne of grace boldly and that if I ask anything according to your will then I know that you will hear me thank you for being good to us thank you for being patient with us your word says in Psalms 4:1 answer me when I call to you my righteous God give me relief from my distress have mercy on me and hear my prayer We Trust and Believe In You King Jesus that you will answer us when we call

out your name you offer us relief from distress you offer wholeness from loneliness or insecurities you offer us love and acceptance when the world would choose to condemn us and for that we are grateful Lord you deserve all good Glory all the glory for your awesome power so great are your abilities that you measured the waters in each and every ocean each River and all of the Seas we praise you because there is no limit to your abilities there's nothing that you cannot do just as the book of Isaiah says whom did the Lord consult

to Enlighten him who was it that taught him knowledge there is no one who can Enlighten you because you are the God of Light there is nothing that anyone can teach you because you are filled with Infinite Wisdom your ways are higher than ours your thoughts are higher than our thoughts it's because you are a god of great power might and strength that I adore you and Praise Your Name Lord if you had never loved me if you had never saved me then father where would I be Isaiah 40:22 says it is he who sits

above the circle of the earth and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers who stretches out the heavens like a curtain and spreads them like a tent to dwell in there are no words to properly describe your awesome nature your infinite wisdom and your Supernatural power so today we offer up our praises to you there is nothing else that we can give you but our hearts our praise and our adoration you are our unfailing protector who gives us an eternal home you are a God who watches over us and our families and I praise you for you

have never let me down I thank you for dying on the cross for me to set me free from my sins I pray that my relationship with you will continue to be strengthened day by day may I continue to grow and be closer and more intimate with you thank you for hearing this prayer in jesus' name I pray amen Lord God Almighty this world can be a dark place but we look to you Jesus to be the bright lamp that guides our feet I pray oh Lord that every past hurt every past mistake or past

loss that weighs heavy on the heart of whoever is listening may be removed by your Everlasting power Philippians 4: 6 to8 do not be anxious about anything but in every situation by prayer and petition with Thanksgiving present your requests to God and the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus finally brothers and sisters whatever is true whatever is Noble whatever is right whatever is pure whatever is lovely whatever is admirable if anything is excellent or praiseworthy think about such things Our Hope For Tomorrow Is Anchored

in you because you never fail our faith is in you because you are faithful even when we are faithless we choose to come to you we choose to set our minds on your word we make the choice to trust you no matter the pain or the circumstance we even choose to pray today despite all that we face and in line with your word we choose not to be anxious not to worry we choose to believe that you're always with us and in control our healing Is Anchored In You Because by your stripes we are healed

I pray for everyone listening right now and declare that broken hearts are mended today in the name of Jesus troubled minds are given peace I ask you Holy Spirit to be so close to us that we can feel feel your presence in our hearts and in our homes we cast all our burdens to you Lord we lean on you where else can we run to but to you you have delivered and healed in the past and you will do it again in every season of Our Lives May you lead us God thank you that you

reminded us throughout your word we do not face the storms alone but you are always with us Whispering calm speaking peace bringing rest to our souls and God we believe you just as your word says in the book of second Corinthians we may be afflicted in every way but we are not crushed we may be perplexed but we are not driven to despair we may be persecuted but we are not forsaken struck down but not destroyed I thank you for caring for us I thank you that the Peace of your loving and strong presence guards

and protects the hearts and minds of each person listening father I thank you for listening to this prayer only the peace that comes from you will calm our hearts and sustain us through the Troubles of life I pray that you will help us to not let our hearts be troubled because that's not your will for us be blessed now and forever more Lord Jesus Jesus [Music] amen but here's what the Bible says in Matthew 6 verse 25- 27 therefore I tell you do not be anxious about your life what you will eat or what you

will drink nor about your body what you will put on is not life more than food and the body more than clothing look at the birds of the air they neither seow nor reap nor gather into Barns and yet your heavenly father feeds them are you not of more value than they and which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life I believe that the Lord wants us to stop worrying to stop pondering and wondering about what might happen tomorrow stop spending your effort and your energy by thinking

about what could happen tomorrow or even that what should happen you are blessed in this very moment and on this day one Pastor said don't borrow trouble which means don't worry about all of the wh ifs we could face someday what if there is a Health crisis a financial setback or even this type of problem don't borrow trouble from the future but instead walk by faith and not by sight so I encourage you today to stay present with the Lord stay present in your mind and in your soul by acknowledging Psalm 118 verse 24 this

is the day that the Lord has made we will rejoice and be glad in it now let us pray Lord Jesus we praise you your word in 2 Corinthians 12:9 says my grace is sufficient for you for my strength is made perfect in weakness therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities that the power of Christ May rest upon me you are with us Lord and we are grateful as your children we are grateful that you are with us and your grace is always available and sufficient for our needs we choose to focus

on the Healer instead of the sickness we choose to focus on the provider instead of the lack we choose to focus on the way maker instead of the obstacles ahead we choose to focus on you King Jesus because we find favor in you we find protection in you we find Mercy in you we put all focus and attention on you we magnify you above Jesus we magnify you above the Troubles of Tomorrow we magnify you and put you above every Health crisis every Financial setback and every problem father God we will not worry about tomorrow

because of your word father we sincerely ask that you would open your ears to hear our cry give us a mind filled with peace and during those times in which my heart is heavy I pray that you would make my burdens light whenever the attacks of the enemy are many I pray that you would defend me Lord fight for me and my family fight my battles Lord though the adversary prows around like the roaring lion seeking whom he may devour I confess that I will be kept safe by the blood of Jesus Christ God will

intervene in my circumstances God will take away the worry and give me peace in my heart may you intervene in my Affairs and show your might David cried in Psalm 35:1 and said plead my cause oh Lord with those who strive with me fight against those who fight against me and so today I too will call upon the name of the Lord so that he may plead my cause I will call on the name of the Lord when I need divine intervention I will ask you my Father in heaven to step in just as you

did for Daniel for Elijah and even for Elisha we invite you Lord Jesus to move in a mighty way move in a mighty way in our lives Lord clear every trap that the devil has hidden in my path I pray that you would guard my mind against discouraging and depressing thoughts I reuke all thoughts of worry and anxiety about what tomorrow holds about what the future may hold instead I choose to have peace because I will have faith in you Lord and when the enemy throws darts of confusion of depression doubt and even despair trying

to weaken my faith or steal my joy I pray Lord Jesus that you will protect my mind with the helmet of salvation even in this present moment if I do struggle to live with the uncertainty of this world and all that is going on I pray that you would help me to keep my mind focused on you I bless your holy name and I thank you for hearing this prayer in the mighty name of Jesus Christ I pray [Music] amen Heavenly Father we thank you right now for another opportunity to praise you another opportunity to

worship you another opportunity to fellowship with you in prayer and Lord as we come to you right now we come asking you to help us guard our hearts Lord fill our hearts with your word fill our hearts with your spirit help us to be vigilant against every force of evil and every cunning lie of man God help us to be in the world but not of it help us to be in this world but not love it Empower us to be a strong Godly influence in this world rather than for us to be influenced by

this world Lord Jesus help us to be salt in this earth help us to be light and darkness your word says in Philippians 4:8 finally brothers and sisters whatever is true whatever is Noble whatever is right whatever is pure whatever is lovely whatever is admirable if anything is excellent or praiseworthy think about such things Lord I pray that I would not be like a sponge that absorbs all the filth of this world no Lord instead let me be like a mirror let me be like a mirror that reflects your goodness for everyone to see Let

each of us be like mirrors that reflect your love Lord our prayer is that you would create clean Hearts within us renew a right Spirit within us give us the grace to make our ways pure before your sight whenever sinful desires start creeping in give us the strength King Jesus to resist the devil and father I pray that you would forgive me if at times I let things get into my heart that may end up hindering my walk with you and I know that these things they'd only destroy me physically spiritually emotionally if I continue

to hold on to them so God I'm asking you to give me the awareness to recognize those things give me the strength to get rid of them Father I know that you've told me in your word to guard my heart and so Lord I ask that the Holy Spirit would speak to me and help me to be the gatekeeper of My Heart Lord help me to let nothing enter except what is Godly what is pure what is pleasing in your eyes your word says in James 4:8 draw near to God and He will draw near

to you cleanse your hands you Sinners and purify your hearts you double-minded Lord give us hearts that seek only to be closer to you I know that from my heart flow the Springs of Life so help me to guard it with my life give me a hunger to open your word daily and to Simply soak in your life-giving truth God may I be so filled with your spirit that I can no longer stand to be in the presence of anything contrary to your will 2 Timothy 2: 21 says therefore if anyone cleanses himself from what

is dishonorable he will be a vessel for honorable use set apart as holy useful to the master of the house ready for every good work father thank you for setting me apart you've called me out of this wicked and evil generation and you've shown me the joy that comes with with following and obeying you I Delight in you father and I pray that you would have mercy on me father I thank you for your mercy and I thank you for giving me a fresh start I know that I fall short of the glory of God

but I also know that there is no heart that is too damaged or too broken there's no heart that's too stained by sin that it can't be washed clean in the blood of the Lamb all glory be to Christ forever and ever in Jesus name amen the Bible says in Matthew 14: 25 to 27 about 3:00 in the morning Jesus came toward them walking on the water when the disciples saw him walking on the water they were terrified In Their Fear they cried out it's a ghost but Jesus spoke to them at once don't be

afraid he said take courage I am here I am intrigued by this story because when I think of Jesus Christ walking on water I see it as a great illustration of the Limitless power of God if you are someone who is pragmatic and logical it doesn't make sense to hear that someone walked on water it's against the rules of Nature and so I actually find this event Jesus walking on water it's an act of defiance it's him saying that the laws of nature apply to you as humans but they don't apply to me as God

Jesus walking on water is him saying physics are a boundary for you but the laws of physics don't apply to me Gravity May limit you but gravity has no impact on me Saints what I am trying to tell you is that nothing is impossible for Jesus nothing is incurable for Jesus nothing is Out Of Reach for Jesus and I pray that this word would inspire you when you're in the middle of a tough situation it can be hard to see beyond the present but I want to encourage you to step out in faith reach out

for the hand of Jesus Christ and he will deliver you when you find that there is Darkness all around you and you find it difficult to smile you find it difficult to be happy reach out for the hand of the one who walks on water and he will save you and this message is for the ears of someone who really is going through difficult circumstances maybe you're in a dry season and you find yourself on unstable ground well Saints where we are limited the Lord is Limitless where we see challenges the Lord sees opportunities opportunities

for him to demonstrate his love for you opportunities for him to demonstrate his might and power to you don't ever become disheartened because you're surrounded by water and what I mean by that is in Matthew 14 when the disciples were in the boat they had nowhere to go they were essentially trapped if you got out of the boat you worried about drowning if you're in the boat you're still slightly worried about sinking or capsizing so the disciples were surrounded by water they were Bound by water but here came Jesus walking on the very thing that

threatened the disciples the very thing that restrained and limited the disciples deciples in what Jesus used to demonstrate his Superior power so don't be discouraged because you're surrounded by water don't be frightened because you're surrounded by water call out to Jesus the one who walks on the water so even if you're battered by the waves of life you can call on Jesus now let us pray Lord Jesus we praise and we worship you we praise you because you are Unlimited in your power we may be bound by the laws of nature but you are not

like man you are not bound or restricted or limited by the things that limit us Lord your word says in psalm 147: 4-5 he determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name great is our Lord and mighty in power his understanding has no limit be glorified Lord Jesus you are great and awesome I pray that you would help us to step out in faith and trust you always we can't always change my circumstances but we will decide to trust in you fully Lord Jesus help us to fight the good fight of

Faith Lord and father change our attitudes and change our outlook on life so that we will always walk by faith and not by sight James 1 verse 2-4 says my brethren count it all joy when you fall into various trials knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience but let patience have its perfect work that you may be perfect and complete lacking nothing help us King Jesus to have a faith that is strong and resilient help us Lord to have the faith that believes you will Outlast all of our problems Lord Jesus you are

a holy God you are a righteous God you alone are the one who moves mountains and causes walls to fall we know that regardless of everything happening around us regardless of the things going on in this world you are still in control you are still on your throne and you are still a good God one who will never leave us nor forsake us your word in Isaiah 43: 16 says thus says the Lord who makes a way in the sea and a path through the mighty Waters you Lord will make a way in the desert

you will create rivers in the desert you are still a God who makes a way where there seems to be no way when we are surrounded by the enemy you are a God who delivers We Praise You Lord because when it looks as though the Red Sea of the unknown will overcome us we will call out your name the name that is above every name Jesus Christ and you will rescue us we ask you Lord to split the Sea of uncertainty before us turn the unstable ground were on into solid and steady ground Lord speak

the words peace be still in the storms that we Face calm the seas in our lives Lord we trust in you to be the solution we are trusting you to be the chain breaker to be the way out for whatever it is that comes against us be with us as we continue to fight and strive to walk by faith and not by sight give us the strength to always hold on to our Mighty savior that is Jesus Christ for in him and him alone we can find Deliverance you alone are our Rock and refuge so

we run to you be praised and glorified King Jesus continue to strengthen our faith in jesus' name I pray amen we live in a stressful World there are worries about wars and elections and pandemics on a personal level there are worries about jobs children marriages money in fact the American Medical Association has estimated that as many as 70% of all patients who visit their general practice Physicians they do so with symptoms related in some way to unrelieved stress but dear friends God has a much better way for us to live he offers a burden-free way

of life here's how Jesus put it in the gospel of Matthew 11: 28-30 come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest take my yoke upon you and learn of me for I am meek and lowly in heart and ye shall find rest unto your souls for my yoke is easy and my burden is light you see Jesus offers us a burden-free way to live isn't that good news now some people have the idea that God wants them weighed down with guilt and fears and uncertainty but that's

not Jesus Jesus said my yoke is easy and my burden light he wants to take your worries away from you as the Apostle Peter said in 1 Peter 5 verse 7 cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you now there are three easy steps to take to enjoy burden-free living and it's revealed in Jesus words in the gospel of Matthew step one come to him come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest now he doesn't say come to drugs or alcohol he doesn't say

come to some sin or to empty relationships and Pursuits he doesn't even say come to your own strength but come to him and he promises I will give you rest what is there that that you need rest from today psychiatrist Thomas Holmes and Richard rah's famous stress scale list life's most stressful moments and at the top of the list is the death of a spouse number two is divorce other items on that list include losing a job illness moving debt what do you need rest from today is it guilt from sin Jesus has forgiveness for

you is it fear concerning a problem that's too big for you Jesus has unlimited power for you do you have difficult decisions to make Jesus has wisdom for you so step one for burden-free living is to Simply come to Jesus come to him and come to him daily and he will give you rest step two follow his plan for your life not anyone else's Jesus said take my yoke upon you and learn of me for I am meek and lowly in heart and ye shall find rest unto your souls take his yoke upon you not

your own not someone else's so let me explain the Yoke in Jesus Jesus's day was the wooden cross piece put around the neck of an ox to pull a wagon as a carpenter before he entered Ministry Jesus would have made these for his customers and he says that the yolks he designed were easy and light unfortunately so many of our burdens are self-inflicted we step out of the way Jesus wants us to live and before you know it we have a mess on our hands someone has wisely said an ounce of obedience is worth a

pound of prayer not all troubles can be avoided of course but many do come from disobeying his plain commands we step out of his will and end up with the mess that we have to do a lot of frantic praying about what decision is it that you're facing be very careful to choose God's plan just take Jesus's yoke it will lead to the burden-free life he wants you to have and so to recap our steps for burden-free living come to him daily that's step one follow his plan for your life step two and step three

for burden-free living is to leave the results up to him for my yoke is easy and my burden is light a pastor in New York City when counseling people about turning their lives over to Jesus he would take them to the RCA building on Fifth Avenue in the entrance was a gigantic statue of Atlas holding the world on his shoulders all his muscles straining barely able to stand under the load and the pastor would say now that's one way to live live trying to carry the world on your shoulders then he would take them across

the street to St Patrick's Cathedral to a shrine behind the altar where the boy Jesus 8 or n years old is holding the whole world in one hand with absolutely no effort at all that the pastor would say is the other way to live letting Jesus carry your burdens for you that's the privilege that you and I actually have every day to cast our anxieties on the Lord and let him carry them for us in other words after you come to him after you choose his way then simply leave the results up to him he'll

take care of the burden for you you can trust him to work it out and he'll work it out every time this is is the way Jesus lived when he was on Earth trusting his heavenly father to take care of the details for him think about it the salvation of the whole world depended on Jesus and he followed his father's plan the salvation of the whole world depended on his word being spread but he never once wrote anything down nor did he ever say to his disciples is anyone taking notes here this is important the

salvation of the whole world depended on the formation and spread of his church but he called a bunch of fishermen and outcasts to get this job done for him not CEOs not generals not politicians or even marketing experts but you know what Jesus didn't stress any of this he left the results in his father's hands and you know what it all got written down the disciples got the job done and his word and church have spread all over the world even to this day so leave the results of your life leave them up to the

father as well the prayers you've prayed the questions you have even the mistakes you've made he can handle it all don't let yourself be weighed down with worries and anxiety that's not God's plan for his children instead enjoy the burden-free life that Jesus offers come to him follow his plan for your life and then leave the results up to him let us go to God In Prayer dear Lord Jesus you know about the battles we're facing in our lives Master fight for us defend us Lord be our Shield and our Fortress Lord Jesus you know

what we're wrestling with in our lives we call upon you the lion of the tribe of Judah I pray that you would help us Lord Jesus intervene in our lives as we call on the name of Jesus Christ which is above every other name we believe that you can remove every obstacle that is set before us show your hand in our lives Lord and help us to overcome the struggles that we Face We Trust in your ability God to take what the devil meant for evil and turn it for our good you can take everything

sent by the enemy and turn it around For Your Glory we pray and declare Psalm chapter 27 it says the Lord is my light and my salvation so why should I be afraid the Lord is my Fortress protecting me from danger so why should I tremble when evil people come to devour me when my enemies and foes attack me they will stumble and fall though a mighty Army surrounds me my heart will not be afraid even if I am attacked I will remain confident the one thing I ask of the Lord the thing I seek

most is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life delighting in the Lord's Perfection and meditating in his Temple for he will conceal me there when troubles come he will hide me in his Sanctuary he will place me Out Of Reach on a high Rock then I will hold my head high above my enemies who surround me at his Sanctuary I will offer sacrifices with shouts of Joy singing and praising the Lord with music hear me as I pray oh Lord be merciful and answer me my heart has heard

you say come and talk with me and my heart responds Lord I am coming do not turn your back on me do not reject your servant in Anger you have always been my helper don't leave me now don't abandon me oh god of my salvation even if my father and mother abandon me the Lord will hold me close teach me how to live oh Lord lead me along the right path for my enemies are waiting for me do not let me fall into their hands for they accuse me of things I've never done with every

breath they threaten me with violence yet I'm confident I will see the Lord's goodness while I am here in the land of the living wait patiently for the Lord be brave and courageous yes wait patiently for the Lord our trust is in you a God who can never f fail this world will present opposition to us but we trust you to fight the battles for it the enemy will do what he can to try and bind us to try to keep us in Chains but Lord we trust that you will Deliver Us you Lord Jesus

Will rescue us may you take all of the glory for every victory in my life may your name be glorified each time we overcome father we thank you for hearing this prayer it's in the mighty name of Jesus Christ that we pray amen one thing that you should know about the Lord is that when God's presence comes into your life there will be a clear and significant effect on the life of a Believer one of the biggest signs that God is with you is that you will come to know know a piece that is beyond

all human understanding if you cast your mind to Mark chapter 4 from verse 35 to 41 when Jesus spoke to a storm there are a few points I'd like to highlight the disciples were in a boat and they encountered a storm now we as Believers are in our own boats and in this boat called life we will all encounter storms now our first reaction tends to be much like the disciples we go into a panicked state where we encounter a storm but when the disciples woke Jesus up and he spoke peace into that storm the

disciples realized something they weren't on that boat alone they weren't on that boat with just anybody once they called on Jesus and he spoke to the storm they realized who he is the disciples realized that they were on that boat with the King of Kings the Lord of lords and the prince of peace now as we are on our own journey in this life when we encounter storms one of the the clearest and most significant signs in our lives that God is with us is peace regardless of the storm when you have Jesus Christ in

your life you have the Prince of Peace when you have Jesus Christ in your life you have peace beyond all comprehension now the second clear and significant sign that God is with you in life is that you will see evidence of his hand over your life whether you believe it or not God is interested in every single area of your life even the seemingly little and insignificant things in Exodus 13: 21 the Bible says and the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them Al along the way and by

our hearts with your spirit help us to be vigilant against every force of evil and every cunning lie of man God help us to be in the world but not of it help us to be in this world but not love it Empower us to be a strong Godly influence in this world rather than for us to be influenced by this world Lord Jesus help us to be salt in this earth help us to be light in darkness your word says in Philippians 4:8 finally brothers and sisters whatever is true whatever is Noble whatever is

right whatever is pure whatever is lovely whatever is admirable if anything is excellent or praiseworthy think about such things Lord I pray that I would not be like a sponge that absorbs all the filth of this world no Lord instead let me be like a mirror let me be like a mirror that reflects your goodness for everyone to see Let each of us be like mirrors that reflect your love Lord our prayer is that you would create clean Hearts within us renew a right Spirit within us give us the grace to make our ways pure

before your sight whenever sinful desires start creeping in give us the strength King Jesus to resist the devil and father I pray that you would forgive me if at times I let things get into my heart that may end up hindering my walk with you and I know that these things they'd only destroy me physically spiritually emotionally if I continue to hold on to them so God I'm asking you to give me the awareness to recognize those things give me the strength to get rid of them Father I know that you've told me in your

word to guard my heart and so Lord I ask that the Holy Spirit would speak to me and help me to be the gatekeeper of My Heart Lord help me to let nothing enter except what is Godly what is pure what is pleasing in your eyes your word says in James 4:8 draw near to God and He will draw near to you cleanse your hands you Sinners and purify your hearts you double-minded Lord give us hearts that seek only to be closer to you I know that from my heart flow the Springs of Life so

help me to guard it with my life give me a hunger to open your word daily and to Simply soak in your lifegiving truth God may I be so filled with your spirit that I can no longer stand to be in the presence of anything contrary to your will 2 Timothy 2 verse 21 says therefore if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable he will be a vest for honorable use set apart as holy useful to the master of the house ready for every good work father thank you for setting me apart you've called me

out of this wicked and evil generation and you've shown me the joy that comes with following and obeying you I Delight in you father and I pray that you would have mercy on me father I thank thank you for your mercy and I thank you for giving me a fresh start I know that I fall short of the glory of God but I also know that there is no heart that is too damaged or too broken there's no heart that's too stained by sin that it can't be washed clean in the blood of the Lamb

all glory be to Christ forever and ever in Jesus name amen men the Bible says in Matthew 14: 25- 27 about 3:00 in the morning Jesus came toward them walking on the water when the disciples saw him walking on the water they were terrified In Their Fear they cried out it's a ghost but Jesus spoke to them at once don't be afraid he said take courage I am here I am intrigued by this story because when I think of Jesus Christ walking on water I see it as a great illustration of the Limitless power of

God if you are someone who is pragmatic and logical it doesn't make sense to hear that someone walked on water it's against the rules of Nature and so I actually find this event Jesus walking on water it's an act of defiance it's him saying that the laws of nature apply to you as humans but they don't apply to me as God Jesus walking on water is him saying physics are a boundary for you but the laws of physics don't apply to me Gravity May limit you but gravity has no impact on me Saints what I

am trying to tell you is that nothing is impossible for Jesus nothing is incurable for Jesus nothing is Out Of Reach for Jesus and I pray that this word would inspire you when you're in the middle of a tough situation it can be hard to see beyond the present but I want to encourage you to step out in faith reach out for the hand of Jesus Christ and he will deliver you when you find that there is Darkness all around you and you find it difficult to smile you find it difficult to be happy reach

out for the hand of the one who walks on water and he will save you and this message is for the ears of someone who really is going through difficult circum ances maybe you're in a dry season and you find yourself on unstable ground well Saints where we are limited the Lord is Limitless where we see challenges the Lord sees opportunities opportunities for him to demonstrate his love for you opportunities for him to demonstrate his might and power to you you don't ever become disheartened because you're surrounded by water and what I mean by that

is in Matthew 14 when the disciples were in the boat they had nowhere to go they were essentially trapped if you got out of the boat you're worried about drowning if you're in the boat you're still slightly worried about sinking or capsizing so the disciples were surrounded by water they were Bound by water but here came Jesus walking on the very thing that threatened the disciples the very thing that restrained and limited the disciples in what Jesus used to demonstrate his Superior power so don't be discouraged because you're surrounded by water don't be frightened because

you're surrounded by water call out to Jesus the one who walks on the water so even if you're battered by the waves of life you can call on Jesus now let us pray Lord Jesus we praise and we worship you we praise you because you are Unlimited in your power we may be bound by the laws of nature but you are not like man you are not bound or restricted or limited by the things that limit us Lord your word says in Psalm 147: 4-5 he determines the number of the stars and calls them each

by name great is our Lord and mighty in power his understanding has no limit be glorified Lord Jesus you are great and awesome I pray that you would help us to step out in faith and trust you always we can't always change my circumstances but we will decide to trust in you fully Lord Jesus help us to fight the good fight of Faith Lord and father change our attitudes and change our outlook on life so that we will always walk by faith and not by sight James 1 verse 2-4 says my brethren count it all

joy when you fall into various trials knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience but let patience have its perfect work that you may be perfect and complete lacking nothing help us King Jesus to have a faith that is strong and resilient help us Lord to have the faith that believes you will Outlast all of our problems Lord Jesus you are a holy God you are a righteous God you alone are the one who moves mountains and causes walls to fall we know that regardless of everything happening around us regardless of the things going

on in this world you are still in control you are still on your throne and you are still a good God one who will never leave us nor forsake us your word in Isaiah 43:16 says thus says the Lord who makes a way in the sea and a path through the mighty Waters you Lord will make a way in the desert you will create rivers in the desert you are still a God who makes a way where there seems to be no way when we are surrounded by the enemy you are a God who delivers

We Praise You Lord because when it looks as though the Red Sea of the unknown will overcome us we will call out your name the name that is above every name Jesus Christ and you will rescue us we ask you Lord to split the Sea of uncertainty before us turn the unstable ground were on into solid and steady ground Lord speak the words peace be still in the storms that we Face calm the seas in our lives Lord we trust in you to be the solution we are trusting you to be the chain breaker to

be the way out for whatever it is that comes against us be with us as we continue to fight and strive to walk by faith and not by sight give us the strength to always hold on to our Mighty savior that is Jesus Christ for in him and him alone we can find Deliverance you alone are our Rock and refuge so we run to you be praised and glorified King Jesus continue to strengthen our faith in jesus' name I pray amen [Music] we live in a stressful World there are worries about wars and elections and

pandemics on a personal level there are worries about jobs children marriages money in fact the American Medical Association has estimated that as many as 70% of all patients who visit their general practice Physicians they do so with symptoms related in some way to unrelieved stress but dear friends God has a much better way for us to live he offers a burden-free way of life here's how Jesus put it in the gospel of Matthew 11: 28-30 come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest take my yoke upon

you and learn of me for I am meek and lowly in heart and ye shall find rest unto your souls for my yoke is easy and my burden is light you see Jesus offers us a burden-free way to live isn't that good news now some people have the idea that God wants them weighed down with guilt and fears and uncertainty but that's not Jesus Jesus said my yoke is easy and my burden light he wants to take your worries away from you as the Apostle Peter said in 1 Peter 5: 7 cast all your anxiety

on him because he cares for you now there are three easy steps to take to enjoy burden-free living and it's revealed in Jesus words in the gospel of Matthew step one come to him come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest now he doesn't say come to drugs or alcohol he doesn't say come to some sin or to empty relationships and Pursuits he doesn't even say come to your own strength but come to him and he promises I will give you rest what is there that you

need rest from today psychiatrist Thomas Holmes and Richard rah's famous stress scale list life's most stressful moment and at the top of the list is the death of a spouse number two is divorce other items on that list include losing a job illness moving debt what do you need rest from today is it guilt from sin Jesus has forgiveness for you is it fear concerning a problem that's too big for you Jesus has UNL limited power for you do you have difficult decisions to make Jesus has wisdom for you so step one for burden-free living

is to Simply come to Jesus come to him and come to him daily and he will give you rest step two follow his plan for your life not anyone else's Jesus said take my yoke upon you and learn of me for I am meek and lowly in heart and ye shall find rest unto your souls take his yoke upon you not your own not someone else's so let me explain the Yoke in Jesus's day was the wooden cross piece put around the neck of an ox to pull a wagon as a carpenter before he intered

minut Ministry Jesus would have made these for his customers and he says that the yolks he designed were easy and light unfortunately so many of our burdens are self-inflicted we step out of the way Jesus wants us to live and before you know it we have a mess on our hands someone has wisely said an ounce of obedience is worth a pound of prayer not all troubles can be avoided of course but many do come from disobeying his plain commands we step out of his will and end up with the mess that we have to

do a lot of frantic praying about what decision is it that you're facing be very careful to choose God's plan just take Jesus's yoke it will lead to the burden-free life he wants you to have and so to recap our steps for burden-free living come to him daily that step one follow his plan for your life step two and step three for burden-free living is to leave the results up to him for my yoke is easy and my burden is light a pastor in New York City when counseling people about turning their lives over to

Jesus he would take them to the RCA building on Fifth Avenue in the entrance was a gigantic statue of Atlas holding the world on his shoulders all his muscles straining barely able to stand under the load and the pastor would say now that's one way to live trying to carry the world on your shoulders then he would take them across the street to St Patrick's Cathedral to a Shrine behind the altar where the boy Jesus 8 or n years old is holding the whole world in one hand with absolutely no effort at all that the

pastor would say is the other way to live letting Jesus carry your burdens for you that's the privilege that you and I actually have every day to cast our anxieties on the Lord and let him care carry them for us in other words after you come to him after you choose his way then simply leave the results up to him he'll take care of the burden for you you can trust him to work it out and he'll work it out every time this is the way Jesus lived when he was on Earth trusting his heavenly

father to take care of the details for him think about it the salvation of the whole World depended on Jesus and he followed his father's plan the salvation of the whole world depended on his word being spread but he never once wrote anything down nor did he ever say to his disciples is anyone taking notes here this is important the salvation of the whole world depended on the formation and spread of his church but he called a bunch of fishermen and outcasts to get this job done for him not CEOs not generals not politicians or

even marketing experts but you know what Jesus didn't stress any of this he left the results in his father's hands and you know what it all got written down the disciples got the job done and his word and church have spread all over the world even to this day so leave the results of your life leave them up to the father as well the prayers you've prayed the questions you have even the mistakes you've made he can handle it all don't let yourself be weighed down with worries and anxiety that's not God's plan for his

children instead enjoy the burden-free life that Jesus offers come to him follow his plan for your life and then leave the results up to him let us go to God In Prayer dear Lord Jesus you know about the battles we're facing in our lives Master fight for us defend us Lord be our shield and our Fortress Lord Jesus you know what we're wrestling within our lives we call upon you the lion of the tribe of Judah I pray that you would help us Lord Jesus intervene in our lives as we call on the name of

Jesus Christ which is above every other name we believe that you can remove every obstacle that is set before us show your hand in our lives Lord and help us to overcome the struggles that we Face We Trust in your ability God to take what the devil meant for evil and turn it for our good you can take everything sent by the enemy and turn it around For Your Glory we pray and declare Psalm chap 27 it says the Lord is my light and my salvation so why should I be afraid the Lord is my

Fortress protecting me from danger so why should I tremble when evil people come to devour me when my enemies and foes attack me they will stumble and fall though a mighty Army surrounds me my heart will not be afraid even if I am attacked I will remain confident the one thing I ask of the Lord the thing I seek most is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life delighting in the Lord's Perfection and meditating in his Temple for he will conceal me there when troubles come he will hide

me in his Sanctuary he will place me Out Of Reach on a high Rock then I will hold my head high above my enemies who surround me at his Sanctuary I will offer sacrifices with shouts of Joy singing and praising the Lord with music hear me as I pray oh Lord be merciful and answer me my heart has heard you say come and talk with me and my heart responds Lord I am coming do not turn your back on me do not reject your servant in Anger you have always been my helper don't leave me

now don't abandon me oh god of my salvation even if my father and mother abandon me the Lord will hold me close teach me how to live oh Lord lead me along the right path for my enemies are waiting for me do not let me fall into their hands for they accuse me of things I've never done with every breath they threaten me with violence yet I'm confident I will see the Lord's goodness while I am here in the land of the living wait patiently for the Lord be brave and courageous yes wait patiently for

the Lord our trust is in you a God who can never fail this world will present opposition to us but we trust you to fight the battles for it the enemy will do what he can to try and bind us to try to keep us in Chains but Lord we trust that you will Deliver Us you Lord Jesus Will rescue us may you take all of the glory for every victory in my life may your name be glorified each time we overcome father we thank you for hearing this prayer it's in the mighty name of

Jesus Christ that we pray amen one thing that you should know about the Lord is that when God's presence comes into your life there will be a clear and significant effect on the life of a Believer one of the biggest signs that God is with you is that you will come to know a piece that is beyond all human understanding if you cast your mind to Mark 4 from verse 35-41 when Jesus spoke to a storm there are a few points I'd like to highlight the disciples were in a boat and they encountered a storm

now we as Believers are in our own boats and in this boat called life we will all encounter storms now our first reaction tends to be much like the disciples we go into a panicked state where we encounter a storm but when the disciples woke Jesus up and he spoke peace into that storm the disciples realized something they weren't on that boat alone they weren't on that boat with just anybody once they called on Jesus and he spoke to the storm they realized who he is that the disciples realized that they were on that boat

with the King of Kings the Lord of lords and the prince of peace now as we are on our own journey in this life when we encounter storms one of the clearest and most significant signs in our lives that God is with us is peace regardless of the storm when you have Jesus Christ in your life you have the Prince of Peace when you have Jesus Christ in your life you have peace beyond all comprehension now the second clear and significant sign that God is with you in life is that you will see evidence of

his hand over your life whether you believe it or not God is interested in every single area of your life even the seemingly little and insignificant things in Exodus 13: 21 the Bible says and the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them along the way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light that they might travel by day and By Night God's hand was leading the children of Israel and you see God is a way maker he used a pillar of cloud to guide the

Israelites during the day and a pillar of Fire by night and in our own lives God's hand can be seen in the little things the accident that could have taken your life but you came out unscathed God's hand can be seen in the seasons where you had little but he provided it can be seen in those situations where you should have been broken you should have had a meltdown but somehow you found strength somehow you found joy that's the hand of God now let us pray my heavenly father we thank you for your goodness we

thank you for loving us sustaining us giving us life and above all thank you for caring so much that you gave your only begotten son so that we may not perish but have eternal life because of you King Jesus we can say that we are redeemed we are loved and we are are set free by the blood of Jesus Christ there is no one else like you father I thank you King Jesus for being our Rock and pillar in this world we will rejoice always we will give you our thanks in all circumstances because you

have good plans for our lives that is divine and for a greater purpose so we trust that all of our steps are ordered by you we have confidence in your word that tells us to approach the throne of grace boldly and that if I ask anything according to your will then I know that you will hear me thank you for being good to us thank you for being patient with us your word says in Psalms 4 verse one answer me when I call to you my righteous God give me relief from my distress have mercy

on me and hear my prayer We Trust and Believe In You King Jesus that you will answer us when we call out your name you offer us relief from distress you offer wholeness from loneliness or insecurities you offer us love and acceptance when the world would choose to condemn us and for that we are grateful Lord you deserve all glory all the glory for your awesome power so great are your abilities that you measured the waters in each and every ocean each River and all of the Seas we praise you because there is no limit

to your abilities there's nothing that you cannot do just as the book of Isaiah says whom did the Lord consult to Enlighten him who was it that taught him knowledge there is no one who can Enlighten you because you are the God of Light there is nothing that anyone can teach you because you are filled with Infinite Wisdom your way are higher than ours your thoughts are higher than our thoughts it's because you are a god of great power might and strength that I adore you and Praise Your Name Lord if you had never loved

me if you had never saved me then father where would I be Isaiah 40:22 says it is he who sits above the circle of the earth and its inhabitants or like grasshoppers who stretches out the heavens like a curtain and spreads them like a tent to dwell in there are no words to properly describe your awesome nature your infinite wisdom and your Supernatural power so today we offer up our praises to you there is nothing else that we can give you but our hearts our praise and our adoration you are our unfailing protector who gives

us an eternal home you are a God who watches over us and our families and I praise you for you have never let me down I thank you for dying on the cross for me to set me free from my sins I pray that my relationship with you will continue to be strengthened day by day may I continue to grow and be closer and more intimate with you thank you for hearing this prayer in jesus' name I pray amen Lord God Almighty this world can be a dark place but we look to you Jesus to

be the bright lamp that guides our feet I pray oh Lord that every past hurt every past mistake or past loss that weighs heavy on the heart of whoever is listening may be removed by your Everlasting power Philippians 4: 6-8 do not be anxious about anything but in every situation by prayer and petition with Thanksgiving present your requests to God and the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus finally brothers and sisters whatever is true whatever is Noble whatever is right whatever is pure whatever is

lovely whatever is admirable if anything is excellent or praiseworthy think about such things Our Hope For Tomorrow Is Anchored in you because you never fail our faith is in you because you are faithful even when we are faithless we choose to come to you we choose to set our minds on your word we make the choice to trust you no matter the pain or the circumstance we even choose to pray today despite all that we face and in line with your word we choose not to be anxious not to worry we choose to believe that

you're always with us and in control our healing Is Anchored In You Because by your stripes we are healed I pray for everyone listening right now and declare that broken hearts are mended today in the name of Jesus troubled minds are given peace I ask you Holy Spirit to be so close to us that we can feel your presence in our hearts and in our homes we cast all our burdens to you Lord we lean on you where else can we run to but to you you have delivered and healed in the past and you

will do it again in every season of Our Lives May you lead us God thank you that you reminded us throughout your word we do not face the storms alone but you are always with us Whispering calm speaking peace bringing rest to our souls and God we believe you just as your word says in the book of 2 Corinthians we may be afflicted in every way but we are not crushed we may be perplexed but we are not driven to despair we may be persecuted but we are not forsaken struck down but not destroyed I

thank you for caring for us I thank you that the Peace of your loving and strong presence guards and protects the hearts and minds of each person listening father I thank you for listening to this prayer only the peace that comes from you will calm our hearts and sustain us through the Troubles of life I pray that you will help us to not let our hearts be troubled because that's not your will for us be blessed now and forever more Lord Jesus [Music] amen but here's what the Bible says in Matthew 6: 25-27 therefore I

tell you do not be anxious about your life what you will eat or what you will drink nor about your body what you will put on is not life more than food and the body more than clothing look at the birds of the air they neither seow nor reap nor gather into Barns and yet your heavenly father feeds them are you not of more value than they and which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life I believe that the Lord Lord wants us to stop worrying to stop

pondering and wondering about what might happen tomorrow stop spending your effort and your energy by thinking about what could happen tomorrow or even that what should happen you are blessed in this very moment and on this day one Pastor said don't borrow trouble which means don't worry about all of the wh ifs we could face someday what if there is a Health crisis a financial setback or even this type of problem don't borrow trouble from the future but instead walk by faith and not by sight so I encourage you today to stay present with the

Their Fear they cried out it's a ghost but Jesus spoke to them at once don't be afraid he said take courage I am here I am intrigued by this story because when I think of Jesus Christ walking on water I see it as a great illustration of the Limitless power of God if you are someone who is pragmatic and logical it doesn't make sense to hear that someone walked on water it's against the rules of Nature and so I actually find this event Jesus walking on water it's an act of defiance it's him saying that

the laws of nature apply to you as humans but they don't apply to me as God Jesus walking on water is him saying physics are a boundary for you but the laws of physics don't apply to me Gravity May limit you but gravity has no impact on me Saints what I am trying to tell you is that nothing is impossible for Jesus nothing is incurable able for Jesus nothing is Out Of Reach for Jesus and I pray that this word would inspire you when you're in the middle of a tough situation it can be hard

to see beyond the present but I want to encourage you to step out in faith reach out for the hand of Jesus Christ and he will deliver you when you find that there is Darkness all around you and you find it difficult to smile you find it difficult to be happy reach out for the hand of the one who walks on water and he will save you and this message is for the ears of someone who really is going through difficult circumstances maybe you're in a dry season and you find yourself on unstable ground well

Saints where we are limited the Lord is Limitless where we see challenges the Lord sees opportunities opportunities for him to demonstrate his love for you opportunities for him to demonstrate his might and power to you don't ever become disheartened because you're surrounded by water and what I mean by that is in Matthew 14 when the disciples were in the boat they had nowhere to go they were essentially trapped if you got out of the boat you worried about drowning if you're in the boat you're still slightly worried about sinking or capsizing so the disciples were

surrounded by water they were Bound by water but but here came Jesus walking on the very thing that threatened the disciples the very thing that restrained and limited the disciples in what Jesus used to demonstrate his Superior power so don't be discouraged because you're surrounded by water don't be frightened because you're surrounded by water call out to Jesus the one who walks on the water so even if you're battered by the waves of life you can call on Jesus now let us pray Lord Jesus we praise and we worship you we praise you because you

are Unlimited in your power we may be bound by the laws of nature but you are not like man you are not bound or restricted or Limited limited by the things that limit us Lord your word says in Psalm 147 verse 4 to 5 he determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name great is our Lord and mighty in power his understanding has no limit be glorified Lord Jesus you are great and awesome I pray that you would help us to step out in faith and trust you always we can't always

change my circumstances but we will decide to trust in you fully Lord Jesus help us to fight the good fight of Faith Lord and father change our attitudes and change our outlook on life so that we will always walk by faith and not by sight James 1 verse 2:4 says my brethren count it all joy when you fall into various trials knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience but let patience have its perfect work that you may be perfect and complete lacking nothing help us King Jesus to have a faith that is strong

and resilient help us Lord to have the faith that believes you will Outlast all of our problems Lord Jesus you are a holy God you are a righteous God you alone are the one who moves mountains and causes walls to fall we know that regardless of everything happening around us regardless of the things going on in this world you are still in control you are still on your throne and you are still a good God one who will never leave us nor forsake us your word in Isaiah 43:1 16 says thus says the Lord who

makes a way in the sea and a path through the mighty Waters you Lord will make a way in the desert you will create rivers in the desert you are still a God who makes a way where there seems to be no way when we are surrounded by the enemy you are a God who delivers We Praise You Lord because when it looks as though the Red Sea of the unknown will overcome us we will call out your name the name that is above every every name Jesus Christ and you will rescue us we ask

you Lord to split the Sea of uncertainty before us turn the unstable ground we on into solid and steady ground Lord speak the words peace be still in the storms that we Face calm the seas in our lives Lord we trust in you to be the the solution we are trusting you to be the chain breaker to be the way out for whatever it is that comes against us be with us as we continue to fight and strive to walk by faith and not by sight give us the strength to always hold on to our

Mighty savior that is Jesus Christ for in him and him alone we can find Deliverance you alone are our Rock and refuge so we run to you be praised and glorified King Jesus continue to strengthen our faith in Jesus name I pray amen we live in a stressful World there are worries about wars and elections and pandemics on a personal level there are worries about jobs children marriages money in fact the American Medical Association has estimated that as many as 70% of all patients who visit their general practice Physicians they do so with symptoms related

in some way to unrelieved stress but dear friends God has a much better way for us to live he offers a burden-free way of life here's how Jesus put it in the gospel of Matthew 11 veres 28-30 come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest take my yoke upon you and learn of me for I am meek and lowly in heart and ye shall find rest unto your souls for my yoke is easy and my burden is light you see Jesus offers us a burden-free way to

live isn't that good news now some people have the idea that God wants them weighed down with guilt and fears and uncertainty but that's not Jesus Jesus said my yoke is easy and my burden light he wants to take your worries away from you as the Apostle Peter said in 1 Peter 5: 7 cast all your an anxiety on him because he cares for you now there are three easy steps to take to enjoy burden-free living and it's revealed in Jesus words in the gospel of Matthew step one come to him come unto me all

ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest now he doesn't say come to drugs or alcohol he doesn't say come to some sin or to empty relationships and Pursuits he does doesn't even say come to your own strength but come to him and he promises I will give you rest what is there that you need rest from today psychiatrist Thomas Holmes and Richard rah's famous stress scale list life's most stressful moments and at the top of the list is the death of a spouse number two is divorce other items on

that list include losing a job illness moving debt what do you need rest from today is it guilt from sin Jesus has forgiveness for you is it fear concerning a problem that's too big for you Jesus has unlimited power for you do you have difficult decisions to make Jesus has wisdom for you so step one for burden-free living is to Simply come to Jesus come to him and come to him daily and he will give you rest step two follow his plan for your life not anyone else's Jesus said take my yoke upon you and

learn of me for I am meek and lowly in heart and ye shall find rest unto your souls take his yoke upon you not your own not someone else's so let me explain the Yoke in Jesus's day was the wooden cross piece put around the neck of an ox to pull a wagon as a carpenter before he entered Ministry Jesus would have made these for his customers and he says that the yolks he designed were easy and Light unfortunately so many of our burdens are self-inflicted we step out of the way Jesus wants us to

live and before you know it we have a mess on our hands someone has wisely said an ounce of obedience is worth a pound of prayer not all troubles can be avoided of course but many do come from disobeying his plain commands we step out of his will and end up with the mess that we have to do a lot of frantic praying about what decision is it that you're facing be very careful to choose God's plan just take Jesus's yoke it will lead to the burden-free life he wants you to have and so to

recap our steps for burden-free living come to him daily that's step one follow his plan for your life step two and step three for burden-free living is to leave the results up to him for my yoke is easy and my burden is light a pastor in New York City when counseling people about turning their lives over to Jesus he would take them to the RCA building on Fifth Avenue in the entrance was a gigantic statue of Atlas holding the world on his shoulders all his muscles straining barely able to stand under the load and the

pastor would say now that's one way to live trying to carry the world on your shoulders then he would take them across the street to St Patrick's Cathedral to a shrine behind the altar where the boy jesus8 or nine years old is holding the whole world in one hand with absolutely no effort at all that the pastor would say is the other way to live letting Jesus carry your burdens for you that's the privilege that you and I actually have every day to cast our anxieties on the Lord and let him carry them for us

in other words after you come to him after you choose his way then simply leave the results up to to him he'll take care of the burden for you you can trust him to work it out and he work it out every time this is the way Jesus lived when he was on Earth trusting his heavenly father to take care of the details for him think about it the salvation of the whole world depended on Jesus and he followed his father's plan the salvation of the whole world depended on his word being spread but he

never once wrote anything down nor did he ever say to his disciples is anyone taking notes here this is important the salvation of the whole world depended on the formation and spread of his church but he called a bunch of fishermen and outcasts to get this job done for him not CEOs not generals not politicians or even marketing experts but you know what Jesus didn't stress any of this he left the results in his father's hands and you know what it all got written down the disciples got the job done and his word and church

have spread all over the world even to this day so leave the results of your life leave them up to the father as well the prayers you've prayed the questions you had even the mistakes you've made he can handle it all don't let yourself be weighed down with worries and anxiety that's not God's plan for his children instead enjoy the burden-free life that Jesus offers come to him follow his plan for your life and then leave the results up to [Music] him let us go to God In Prayer dear Lord Jesus you know about the

battles we're facing in our lives Master fight for us defend us Lord be our shield and our Fortress Lord Jesus you know what we're wrestling with in our lives we call upon you the lion of the tribe of Judah I pray that you would help us Lord Jesus intervene in our lives as we call on the name of Jesus Christ which is above every other name name we believe that you can remove every obstacle that is set before us show your hand in our lives Lord and help us to overcome the struggles that we Face

We Trust in your ability God to take what the devil meant for evil and turn it for our good you can take everything sent by the enemy and turn it around For Your Glory we pray and declare Psalm chap 27 it says the Lord is my life and my salvation so why should I be afraid the Lord is my Fortress protecting me from danger so why should I tremble when evil people come to devour me when my enemies and foes attack me they will stumble and fall though a mighty Army surrounds me my heart will

not be afraid even if I am attacked I will remain confident the one thing I ask of the Lord the thing I seek most is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life delighting in the Lord's Perfection and meditating in his Temple for he will conceal me there when troubles come he will hide me in his Sanctuary he will place me Out Of Reach on a high Rock then I will hold my head high above my enemies who surround me at his Sanctuary I will offer sacrifices with shouts of

Joy singing singing and praising the Lord with music hear me as I pray oh Lord be merciful and answer me my heart has heard you say come and talk with me and my heart responds Lord I am coming do not turn your back on me do not reject your servant in Anger you have always been my helper don't leave me now don't abandon me oh god of my salvation even if my father and mother abandon me the Lord will hold me close teach me how to live oh Lord lead me along the right path for

my enemies are waiting for me do not let me fall into their hands for they accuse me of things I've never done with every breath they threaten me with violence yet I'm confident I will see the Lord's goodness while I am here in the land of the living wait patiently for the Lord be brave and courageous yes wait patiently for the Lord our trust is in you a God who can never fail this world will present opposition to us but we trust you to fight the battles for us the enemy will do what he can

to try and bind us to try to keep us in Chains but Lord we trust that you will Deliver Us you Lord Jesus Will rescue us May may you take all of the glory for every victory in my life may your name be glorified each time we overcome father we thank you for hearing this prayer it's in the mighty name of Jesus Christ that we pray amen one thing that you should know about the Lord is that when God's presence comes into your life there will be a clear and significant effect on the life of

a Believer one of the biggest signs that God is with you is that you will come to know a piece that is beyond all human understanding if you cast your mind to Mark 4 from verse 35 to 41 when Jesus spoke to a storm there are a few points I'd like to highlight the disciple were in a boat and they encountered a storm now we as Believers are in our own boats and in this boat called life we will all encounter storms now our first reaction tends to be much like the disciples we go into

a panicked state where we encounter a storm but when the disciples woke Jesus up and he spoke peace into that storm the disciples realized something they weren't on that boat alone they weren't on that boat with just anybody once they called on Jesus and he spoke to the storm they realized who he is the disciples realized that they were on that boat with the King of Kings the Lord of lords and the prince of peace now as we are on our own journey in this life when we encounter storms one of the clearest and most

significant signs in our lives that God is with us is peace regardless of the storm when you have Jesus Christ in your life you have the Prince of Peace when you have Jesus Christ in your life you have peace beyond all comprehension now the second clear and significant sign that God is with you in life is that you will see evidence of his hand over your life whether you believe it or not God is interested in every single area of your life even the seemingly little and insignificant things in Exodus 13:2 1 the Bible says

and the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them along the way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light that they might travel by day and By Night God's hand was leading the children of Israel and you see God is a way maker he he used a pillar of cloud to guide the Israelites during the day and a pillar of Fire by night and in our own lives God's hand can be seen in the little things the accident that could have taken your life but

you came out unscathed God's hand can be seen in the seasons where you had little but he provided it can be in those situations where you should have been broken you should have had a meltdown but somehow you found strength somehow you found joy that's the hand of God now let us pray my heavenly father we thank you for your goodness we thank you for loving us sustaining us giving us life and above all thank you for caring so much that you gave your only begotten son so that we may not perish but have eternal

life because of you King Jesus we can say that we are redeemed we are loved and we are set free by the blood of Jesus Christ there is no one else like you father I thank you King Jesus for being our Rock and pillar in this world we will rejoice always we will give you our thanks in all circumstances because you have good plans for our lives that is divine and for a greater purpose so we trust that all of our steps are ordered by you we have confidence in your word that tells us to

approach the throne of Grace boldly and that if I ask anything according to your will then I know that you will hear me thank you for being good to us thank you for being patient with us your word says in Psalms 4:1 answer me when I call to you my righteous God give me relief from my distress have mercy mercy on me and hear my prayer We Trust and Believe In You King Jesus that you will answer us when we call out your name you offer us relief from distress you offer wholeness from loneliness or

insecurities you offer us love and acceptance when the world would choose to condemn us and for that we are grateful Lord you deserve all glory all the glory for your awesome power so great are your abilities that you measured the waters in each and every ocean each River and all of the Seas we praise you because there is no limit to your abilities there is nothing that you cannot do just as the book of Isaiah says whom did the Lord consern told to Enlighten him who was it that taught him knowledge there is no one

who can Enlighten you because you are the God of Light there is nothing that anyone can teach you because you are filled with Infinite Wisdom your ways are higher than ours your thoughts are higher than our thoughts it's because you are a god of great power might and strength that I adore you and Praise Your Name Lord if you had never loved me if you had never saved me then father where would I be Isaiah 40:22 says it is he who sits above the circle of the earth and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers who stretches

out the heavens like a curtain and spreads them like a tent to dwell in there are no words to properly describe your awesome nature your infinite wisdom and your Supernatural power so today we offer up our praises to you there is nothing else that we can give you but our hearts our praise and our adoration you you are our unfailing protector who gives us an eternal home you are a God who watches over us and our families and I praise you for you have never let me down I thank you for dying on the cross

for me to set me free from my sins I pray that my relationship with you will continue to be strengthened day by day may I continue to grow and be closer and more intimate with you thank you for hearing this prayer in jesus' name I pray amen Lord God Almighty this world can be a dark place but we look to you Jesus to be the bright lamp that guides our feet I pray oh Lord that every past hurt every past mistake or past loss that weighs heavy on the heart of whoever is listening may be

removed by your Everlasting power Philippians 4: 6-8 do not be anxious about anything but in every situation by prayer and petition with Thanksgiving present your requests to God and the peace of God which transcends all understand understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus finally brothers and sisters whatever is true whatever is Noble whatever is right whatever is pure whatever is lovely whatever is admirable if anything is excellent or praiseworthy think about such things Our Hope For Tomorrow Is Anchored in you because you know never fail our faith is in you because

you are faithful even when we are faithless we choose to come to you we choose to set our minds on your word we make the choice to trust you no matter the pain or the circumstance we even choose to pray today despite all that we face and in line with your word we choose not to be anxious not to worry we choose to believe that you're always with us and in control our healing Is Anchored In You Because by your stripes we are healed I pray for everyone listening right now and declare that broken hearts

are mended today in the name of Jesus troubled minds are given peace I ask you Holy Spirit to be so close to us that we can feel your presence in our hearts and in our homes we cast all our burdens to you Lord we lean on you where else can we run to but to you you have delivered and healed in the past and you will do it again in every season of Our Lives May you lead us God thank you that you reminded us throughout your word we do not face the storms alone but

you are always with us whispering calm speaking peace bringing rest to our souls and God we believe you just as your word says in the book of second Corinthians we may be afflicted in every way but we are not crushed we may be perplexed but we are not driven to despair we may be persecuted but we are not forsaken struck down but not destroyed I thank you for caring for for us I thank you that the Peace of your loving and strong presence guards and protects the hearts and minds of each person listening father I

thank you for listening to this prayer only the peace that comes from you will calm our hearts and sustain us through the Troubles of life I pray that you will help us to not let our hearts be trouble because that's not your will for us be blessed now and forever more more Lord Jesus amen but here's what the Bible says in Matthew 6: 25- 27 therefore I tell you do not be anxious about your life what you will eat or what you will drink nor about your body what you will put on is not life

more than food and the body more than clothing look at the birds of the air they neither seow nor reap nor gather into Barns and yet your heavenly father feeds them are you not of more value than they and which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life I believe that the Lord wants us to stop worrying to stop pondering and wondering about what might happen tomorrow stop spending your effort and your energy by thinking about what could happen tomorrow or even that what should happen you are blessed

in this very moment and on this day one Pastor said don't borrow trouble which means don't worry about all of the wh ifs we could face someday what if there is a Health crisis a financial setback or even this type of problem don't borrow trouble from the future but instead walk by faith and not by sight so I encourage you today to stay present with the Lord stay present in your mind and in your soul by acknowledging Psalm 1118 verse 24 this is the day that the Lord has made we will rejoice and be glad

in it now let us pray Lord Jesus we praise you your word in 2 Corinthians 12:9 says my grace is sufficient for you for my strength is made perfect in weakness therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities that the power of Christ May rest upon me you are with us Lord and we are grateful as your children we are grate ful that you are with us and your grace is always available and sufficient for our needs we choose to focus on the Healer instead of the sickness we choose to focus on the

provider instead of the lack we choose to focus on the way maker instead of the obstacles ahead we choose to focus on you King Jesus because we find favor in you we find protection in you we find Mercy in you we put all focus and attention on you we magnify you above Jesus we magnify you above the Troubles of Tomorrow we magnify you and put you above every Health crisis every Financial setback and every problem father God we will not worry about tomorrow because of your word father we sincerely ask that you would open your

ears to hear our cry give us a mind filled with peace and during those times in which my heart is heavy I pray that you would make my burdens light whenever the attacks of the enemy are many I pray that you would defend me Lord fight for me and my family fight my battles Lord though the adversary prows around round like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour I confess that I will be kept safe by the blood of Jesus Christ God will intervene in my circumstances God will take away the worry and give

me peace in my heart may you intervene in my Affairs and show your might David cried in Psalm 35:1 and said plead my cause oh Lord with those who strive with me fight against those who fight against me and so today I too will call upon the name of the Lord so that he may plead my cause I will call on the name of the Lord when I need divine intervention I will ask you my Father in heaven to step in just as you did for Daniel for Elijah and even for Elisha we invite you

Lord Jesus to move in a mighty way move in a mighty way in our lives Lord clear every trap that the devil has hidden in my path I pray that you would guard my mind against discouraging and depressing thoughts I reuke all thoughts of worry and anxiety about what tomorrow holds about what the future may hold instead I choose to have peace because I will have faith in you Lord and when the enemy throws darts of confusion of depression doubt and even despair trying to weaken my faith or steal my joy I pray Lord Jesus

that you will protect my mind with the helmet of salvation even in this present moment if I do struggle to live with the uncertainty of this world and all that is going on I pray that you would help me to keep my mind focused on you I bless your holy name and I thank you for hearing this prayer in the mighty name of Jesus Christ I pray [Music] amen Heavenly Father we thank you right now for another opportunity to praise you another opportunity to worship you another opportunity to fellowship with you in prayer and Lord

as we come to you right now we come asking you to help us guard our hearts Lord fill our hearts with your word fill our hearts with your spirit help us to be vigilant against every force of evil and every cunning lie of man God help us to be in the world but not of it help us to be in this world but not love it Empower us to be a strong Godly influence in this world rather than for us to be influenced by this world Lord Jesus help us to be salt in this earth

help us to be light in darkness your word says in Philippians 4:8 finally brothers and sisters whatever is true whatever is Noble whatever is right whatever is pure whatever is lovely whatever is admirable if anything is excellent or praiseworthy think about such things Lord I pray that I would not be like a sponge that absorbs all the filth of this world no Lord instead let me be like a mirror let me be like a mirror that reflects your goodness for everyone to see Let each of us be like mirrors that reflect reflect your love Lord

our prayer is that you would create clean Hearts within us renew a right Spirit within us give us the grace to make our ways pure before your sight whenever sinful desires start creeping in give us the strength King Jesus to resist the devil and father I pray that you would forgive me if at times I let things get into my heart that may end up hindering my walk with you and I know that these things they'd only destroy me physically spiritually emotionally if I continue to hold on to them so God I'm asking you to

give me the awareness to recognize those things give me the strength to get rid of them Father I know that you've told me in your word to guard my heart and so so Lord I ask that the Holy Spirit would speak to me and help me to be the gatekeeper of My Heart Lord help me to let nothing enter except what is Godly what is pure what is pleasing in your eyes your word says in James 4:8 draw near to God and He will draw near to you cleanse your hands you Sinners and purify your

hearts you double-minded Lord give us heart hearts that seek only to be closer to you I know that from my heart flow the Springs of Life so help me to guard it with my life give me a hunger to open your word daily and to Simply soak in your lifegiving truth God may I be so filled with your spirit that I can no longer stand to be in the presence of anything contrary to your will 2 Timothy 2: 21 says therefore if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable he will be a vessel for honorable
