Luke 12:31
Seek the kingdom of God above all else, and he will give you everything you need.

  • Luke 12:31<br /> Seek the kingdom of God above all else, and he will give you everything you need.
  • Phillipians 4: 8-9<br /> 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. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
  • Deuteronomy 6:5<br /> Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.
  • 1 Corinthians 13: 4-7<br /> Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
  • Isaiah 41:10<br /> So do not fear, for I am with you; <br /> do not be dismayed, for I am your God. <br /> I will strengthen you and help you; <br /> I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
  • James 1:12 <br /> Blessed are those who persevere under trial, because when they have stood the test, they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.
  • Matthew 28:20<br /> I am with you always, to the very end of the age.
  • Luke 12: 27<br /> Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith! And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.
  • Romans 1:20<br /> For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.
  • The Warrior's Prayer<br /> <br /> Heavenly Father, your warrior prepares for battle. Today I claim victory over Satan by putting on the Whole Armor of God.<br /> <br /> I put on the Girdle of Truth! May I stand firm in the Truth of Your Word so I will not be a victim of Satan's lies.<br /> <br /> I put on the Breastplate of Righteousness! May it guard my heart from evil so I will remain pure and holy, protected under the blood of Jesus Christ.<br /> <br /> I put on the Shoes of Peace! May I stand firm in the Good News of the Gospel so your peace will shine through me and be a light to all I encounter.<br /> <br /> I take the Sheild of Faith! May I be ready for Satan's fiery darts of doubt, denial and deceit so I will not be vulnerable to spiritual defeat.<br /> <br /> I put on the Helmet of Salvation! May I keep my mind focused on You so Satan will not have a stronghold on my thoughts.<br /> <br /> I take the Sword of the Spirit! May the two-edged sword of Your Word be ready in my hands so I can expose the tempting words of Satan.<br /> <br /> By faith your warrior has put on the Whole Armor of God!<br /> <br /> I am prepared to live this day in spiritual victory! <br /> <br /> Amen
  • Psalm 23 <br /> <br /> The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. <br /> He makes me lie down in green pastures, <br /> he leads me beside quiet waters, <br /> he restores my soul. <br /> He guides me in paths of righteousness <br /> for his name's sake. <br /> Even though I walk <br /> through the valley of the shadow of death, <br /> I will fear no evil, <br /> for you are with me; <br /> your rod and your staff, <br /> they comfort me. <br /> You prepare a table before me <br /> in the presence of my enemies. <br /> You anoint my head with oil; <br /> my cup overflows. <br /> Surely goodness and love will follow me <br /> all the days of my life, <br /> and I will dwell in the house of the LORD <br /> forever.
  • SLOW ME DOWN, LORD<br /> <br /> Ease the pounding of my heart by the quieting of my mind. Steady my hurried pace. Give me, amidst the day's confusion, the calmness of the everlasting hills.<br /> <br /> Break the tensions of my nerves and muscles with the soothing music of singing streams that live in my memory.<br /> <br /> Help me to know the magical, restoring power of sleep. Teach me the art of taking "minute vacations"...slowing down to look at a flower, to chat with a friend, to read a few lines from a good book.<br /> <br /> Remind me of the fable of the hare and the tortoise; that the race is not always to the swift; that there is more to life than measuring its speed.<br /> <br /> Let me look up at the branches of the towering oak and know that it grew slowly and well. Inspire me to send my own roots down deep into the soil of life's endearing values...that I may grow toward the stars of my greater destiny.<br /> <br /> Slow me down, Lord.<br /> <br /> ~~Wilferd Arlan Peterson~~

  • "And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."<br /> 1 Corinthians 13:13
  • Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart<br /> and wait for the LORD.<br /> Psalm 27:14
  • The Difference<br /> <br /> I got up early one morning and rushed right into the day;<br /> I had so much to accomplish, I didn't have time to pray.<br /> <br /> Problems just tumbled about me and grew heavier with each task;<br /> Why doesn't God help me, I wondered; He answered, "You didn't ask."<br /> <br /> I wanted to see joy and beauty, but the day toiled on, gray and bleak;<br /> I wondered why God didn't show me - He said, "But you didn't seek."<br /> <br /> I tried to come into God's presence; I used all my keys at the lock;<br /> God gently and lovingly chided, "My child, you didn't knock."<br /> <br /> I woke up early this morning and paused before entering the day;<br /> I had so much to accomplish that I had to take time to pray.<br /> <br /> by Grace L. Naessens
  • For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart, then I will be found by you," declares the LORD, "and will bring you back from captivity. Jeremiah 29:11-14
  • "Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass...it's about learning how to dance in the rain."<br /> - Vivian Greene
