I have a prayer for you as we enter this new year and it comes from the bible in
2 Thessalonians 3:5 (NLT) 5 May the Lord lead your hearts into a full understanding and expression of the love of God and the patient endurance that comes from Christ. This is a short and simple prayer for those whom you care for and I care for you and your spiritual relationship with God because if you have a close relationship with God and His Son Jesus Christ this year you will be successful in all you do. You will be an expression of God's love to others.
You will be like Psalms 1:3 (NLT) trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do. That's my prayer for you to prosper in all you do. To be like a tree that has deep roots into the soil of God's word causing you to bear fruit in every season and situation that you face this year. You will never be barren or lacking anything. Go back to the scripture that I started with and look at what it says. The world can distract us from the goal God has for each of us. Paul's prayer for the Thessalonians was that God lead their hearts into a full understanding and expression of God's love and then the patience endurance that comes from Christ. For you to be lead by the Lord God you must be seeking Him with all your heart and mind. When you fully understand God and His love for you, no one will have to twist your arm to live for God and to serve Him in some way. Not many Christians really understand God and that's because they never or seldom read His word. There is no other way to fully understand God than by spending time with Him every day in reading His word and praying to Him and then listening for His response to your request. When things don't go our way we will need the steadfastness that only Jesus Christ can give us. There are many times we will have to force ourselves to do the right thing, to stay on track with the things of God and to live a balanced life. That is what this website is designed to help us do. God is willing to bless us with more of His love, grace and mercy if we will not get side tracked this year and determine to let nothing keep us from our time with Him. There are many things and ways that people will try to be successful this year but if it doesn't include God then it is destined to fail. Only God can enrich us in the spiritual and physical realm. He said in
Matthew 6:33 (NLT) 33 Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.
Isn't that simple! Just seek His kingdom above all else and live righteously and He will give you everything you need. Do you believe this in your heart? Then if you truly do you will let nothing in this world keep you from giving God His rightful place in your life each day. If you do then all of God's blessings will flow your way. You will understand God's love for you and you will have a steadfastness you have ever had before as you face whatever God allows to come your way. I am excited about what God is going to do in your life and mine this year as we seek Him together over this website and as we seek His face together.
If you don't have a personal relationship with God the Father through His Son Jesus Christ then ask Jesus to forgive your sins against God and invite Him into your life to take charge of you and your affairs. If you will you will be on your way to the most successful and blessed year you have ever known. Go to a bible teaching church and tell the pastor you have been forgiven your sins against God and tell him you want to be baptized.
