September 30th Prayer | Why talk to God first? | Doing life with God |La...

September 30th Prayer: What is prayer? Prayer is putting oneself in the hands of God – Mother Theresa. As we focus on God, we connect with Him and grow in our intimacy with our creator. Many times we pray when things are hard or when we have a problem, but if we can cultivate a daily prayer life, we will find that communicating with God will become easier. The habit of reaching out to God in prayer in the morning will be a joy rather than an obligation.  The practice of prayer is not so that we can check it off of our “to-do list” but rather to help us receive the guidance that we need so that our days will go well. Asking the Lord, who knows the future, “What do you see for us today?”  It will help us to avoid many pitfalls and unnecessary problems. We will become solutions-based, and our hope will rise because we know that we have the Lord directing what should happen next. We are not alone experiencing life.   Your life is a relationship with God. It is time to rethink prayer. Wh

Saturday, it was wonderful to be able to harvest my dream of having an intelligent, spiritual son who can think deeply and act on his goals. Hearing Stephen Errol express his vision of creating a garden and then seeing it come to pass, was an enjoyable experience for me. I wanted a son, and God has given me a royal, precious gem! Thank you, Jesus!

September 27th Prayer   What is your Obsession? Are you obsessed with what is happening in our society? What are you focused on? Is this obsession providing you the spirit breath of life that you need to enjoy your life? What we pay attention to dictates where we are going. Our focus was given to us so that we can complete assignments and get things done. However, when we are distracted by things that do not matter or are not truly important, we rob ourselves of the fullness of joy spoken about in the bible. In God’s presence, there is the fullness of joy. That is what we want to spend the time meditating on – the Lord Jesus. This focus requires that we forget about ourselves and look to the Holy Spirit to direct our mind and thoughts to what really matters. I like what the Message Bible says in Romans 8:5-8, “Those who think they can do it on their own end up obsessed with measuring their own moral muscle but never get around to exercising it in real life. Those who trus

Honey Pot Hill Orchards in Stow, MA, is a great New England farm to go apple picking. Karen aka Glamfun and I went apple picking last year with some friends and had a great time. This year we decided to go together. I enjoyed the mother/daughter time together. We had this unique experience of revisiting our childhood at the apple orchard. The day was perfect, and the love and joy were terrific!

What are you eating, or what is eating you? Jesus is the bread of life. (John 6:22-59) He is the food we need for physical, emotional and spiritual nourishment. The Bread of life is the "supreme gift from God". When we focus on Jesus, then are we meditating on what he is saying, and we can learn his way of being and doing things. It is vital to move away from the idea that the world does things. Our manmade knowledge is so limiting. God is the one who created the world, so it makes sense to go to him to find out what to do. There is this gardener Paul Gautschi who began using wood chips to cover his land. He called his new discover the "Back to Eden Method". He discovered the need to do this because he was located in an area where there was a limited supply of water. He asked God for help, and God gave him a new way of doing things. Nature's style and the idea of the forest and woodlands. It is working so well that people visit his home each year to lear

September 25th Prayer  Beloved friends, what should be our proper response to God’s marvelous mercies? I encourage you to surrender yourselves to God to be his sacred, living sacrifices. And live in holiness, experiencing all that delights his heart. For this becomes your genuine expression of worship. Romans 12:1-2 TPT Lord, we surrender our lives to you in worship. According to A W Tozer, We must never rest until everything inside us worships God. Father, I want to stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around me. I want to be transformed by the Holy Spirit inwardly. Help me to be willing to transform my thinking and think your thoughts. Please give me a total overhaul of how I feel about things and do them. Father, we want to discern your will for our lives. We also want to live a beautiful life. We want an experience that is satisfying and perfect in your eyes. So, I also pray this prayer for my subscribers and listeners. I pray that they too may experience the

   Harvesting Your Dreams! To harvest your dreams , first, we must find out what gifts and talents that God has given us or that we are willing to cultivate. Each desire is a seed that when planted in our hearts, can produce a great tree. Jesus speaks about the significance of a mustard seed. If we plant the seed, then the tree has the potential to grow into something that can feed and house many others. It can even feed and house the dreams or seeds of other people. We cannot underestimate the value of each person’s seed. Second , how will we start to handle our gift or talent?   Will we use it for the moment or will we develop it and invest the gift or talent?     I believe that we can do both if we have time to give to the gift or talent? However, if the gift or talent is perishable or has an expiration date on it, then we have to think about what we will do now? Timing is everything! We can have a gift, talent, opportunity or resource and believe that it would last forever

September 21st Prayer Take Time to Laugh Psalm 32:11 AMPC Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, you [uncompromisingly] righteous [you who are upright and in right standing with Him]; shout for joy, all you upright in heart! Celebrate God. Sing together – everyone! All you honest hearts, raise the roof! MSG So rejoice in the Lord and be glad, all you who obey him! Shout for joy, all you whose hearts are pure! NLT Dear Lord, I am happy that you are a God of Joy! You tell us to be satisfied and not to worry. Yet we find ourselves many times worrying about what will happen next when we do not have control over our future. We can plan for the future, but ultimately it is you who directs our steps. We are grateful that you want to be actively involved in our lives. However, you will not make us do anything that we do not want to do. You, my Lord, are not a bully. Help me and my subscribers and listeners to not be anxious and worried because of the many dangerous things happenin

September 20th Prayer Will-power or Holy Spirit power? But I say walk and live [habitually] in the [Holy] Spirit [responsive to and controlled and guided by the Spirit]; then you will certainly not gratify the cravings and desires of the flesh (of human nature without God). Galatians 5:16 AMPC Dear Father God, I thank you that your Holy Spirit is present to help us live a life that is pleasing to you. We want to enjoy the life that you have destined for us to have. I try to run my life, but I find that my mind, will, and emotions always lead me to a stuck place. I end up doing the things that I don’t want to do. My will power becomes weak, and I succumb to what my emotions want me to do. Lord, I am tired of falling prey to my emotions and fears. I am asking you for Holy Spirit assistance in increasing my resistance to the things that make me fall short of your glory. I want to be Spirit-led. My will power and discipline are needed and essential to having a productive l

September 18th Prayer |Are you mad with God? | Don't be Bitter! | Lady Wisdom Speaks Do not be bitter with God! He is your friend that sticks closer than your own brother. Your bitterness will hinder your ability to hear from God. Refuse to become bitter but instead, lean in closer to God because there is something that He wants to tell you and the devil does not want you to hear. Ephesians 4:31 states, Lay aside bitter words temper tantrums revenge profanity and insults. Let God fight your battles and stay humble before Him. Amen

September 17th Prayer |Give Yourself Grace! Prayer for a good day at wor...

September 17th Prayer   So no wonder we don’t give up. For even though our outer person gradually wears out, our inner being is renewed every single day. 2 Corinthians 4:16 Help me to give myself some grace and to give more grace to others. Lord, I need to be more patient with the people who are closes to me and to be their cheerleader during difficult times. I also need the Lord to be more patient with myself and allow time for learning and growing. Help me Lord to do better! Lord, I know that you are changing me into a better person and transforming me into your image. I know that I have a long way to go but help me to be patient with myself and enjoy my life each day. Help me to extend that grace to others and to look a little more deeply at their situation. Giving them the benefit of the doubt before judging them and their motives. When others snub me or make me feel bad to help me to remember that they are in the process of becoming too. I pray for my subscribers and listen

September 16th Prayer Splendor! Glorious hope and such joyful and confident expectation we speak very freely and openly and fearlessly. 2 Corinthians 3:16 TPT Turn to the Holy Spirit with an open heart, the veil is lifted, and we can see. Wherever the Holy Spirit is Lord, there is freedom…we can draw close to the Holy Spirit with the cover removed from our faces. And with no veil, we all become like mirrors who brightly reflect the glory of the Lord Jesus. We are becoming transfigured into his very image as we move from one brighter level of beauty to another. And this glorious transfiguration comes from the Lord who is the Spirit. Lord this is what your word says, please do this in us. We believe. Father, we pray for the power of understanding. We do not want anything to cover up your splendor. Lift any veil that may lie on our hearts and reveal your splendor to us. Clear our minds so that we can understand your love for us and move closer to what you are showing us

Good news! You have the secret password into the presence of God! When my heart is overwhelmed, I will... Lord, we praise and worship you this day. We want to begin our day with you. We anticipate many blessings coming our way, so we want you to remove everything that will block the movement of your hand in our lives. We desire your presence, so we worship and praise you.

September 11 th Prayer We plan the way we want to live, but only God makes us able to live it. MSG  Proverbs 16:9 Within your heart, you can make plans for your future, but the Lord chooses the steps you take to get there. TPT  Proverbs 16:9 People plan their path, but the LORD secures their steps. CEB  Proverbs 16:9 At times I feel that I am in control of my life but only to be reminded that it is God who makes it look so easy. When I do not consult God, I find that whatever I want to do is more complicated and becomes a burden. Listening and doing is the key to great success in life – doing life God’s way. So this is my prayer for this day: Lord, help me to appreciate the gifts and talents that you have given me and cultivate them. First, give me a clear vision of what are the talents and gifts that you have endowed me with. I want to be able to recognize what talents and gifting’s that I have. Second, help me to hear your voice speaking to me through

September 10 th Prayer Praying Spirit-led prayers Do you ever feel unfulfilled in prayer? Or, have you prayed about a matter but did not have any peace after praying? There is a much more productive way of praying, and that is to pray God’s prayer. Being led by the Holy Spirit can bring peace in your heart and satisfaction with a sense of it is a done deal. Holy Spirit prayers do not need to long. It can be a paragraph, a sentence, a word, or a groin. The result that we want is that we know that God has heard us and that we believe that He will meet the need and answer the prayer. Spirit-led prayers are many times short and to the point. There is that sense of satisfaction, and it is already completed. These prayers tend to be eternal. I am asking for things that are more lasting and may need to be developed in me. For example, the fruit of the Spirit is what the Holy Spirit is interested in growing in me. My motives and a deeper relationship with God is the center of the pr

Working from my Full Capacity Pray with me! Click here:  https://youtu.be/J1AFJ4pH6ZI And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever. John 14:16 NIV Have you ever wondered why you seem to fall short of getting the full benefits of a situation? It could be that we are not working from our full capacity. There is that inside information that is missing, which can revolutionize our way of doing things. What we need is God’s wi sdom to expand our understanding and give us the applied know-how on how to get the results that we are looking for. God’s Wisdom is more complete and comprehensive. He tells us in the book of James in the bible, if we want insight into a situation to ask Him. All we are required to do is to believe. Having confidence in God involves getting to know how He thinks about a matter. We have to ask Him and then listen. Following up with completing the task. Obedience is key to progressing with the Holy Sp

September 5th Prayer - God Give Me Peace in My Heart! Click here to pray with me! https://youtu.be/2b-xjEitcoA Many people are walking around with pain in their hearts. To be able to encourage the spirit of Peace in our environment first, we have to get our heart right with God. You may say that you are born again and that Jesus lives in your heart. I believe that it is true. There are things that need to move out so that the Holy Spirit can take up every corner of your private house. We want to be a home for God's Holy Spirit. What is inside that makes you so anxious or uncomfortable? Who do you dread seeing or being around? Why do you feel anger or pain in some places? Questions like these will help us to examine our thoughts, emotions, and deeply hidden feelings. The bible says that we can prosper and be in health even as our souls prosper. Our soul is made up of our mind, will, and emotion. Do you have Joy in your heart? Does Peace reside there? I believe that

September 4th Prayer | Courage and Strength! | Prayer for Wisdom | Lad...

September 4 th Prayer: Strength and Courage Strength and courage for this day seem to be the theme. At the beginning of the month, at the beginning of anything, I need power and courage. Many questions fill my mind like, what if I am wasting my time? Will this work? What is it that I need to focus on? What is the most important? These questions all have some validity to them. Yet, I know that I must begin and move forward in faith for the next victory. Nothing will be accomplished if I do nothing. The verse for the day in the Bible app which I refer to almost every day is Deuteronomy 31:6 KJV, “Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.” This is the promise that the Lord also gives to us. Be strong! Be courageous! Fear not! Do not be afraid! I, God am with you! Isn’t this fantastic that God is our encourager and that He knows just what we need to know.

Finding the Rhythm in the Garden: Moving to the Beat of God’s Heart! Timing is everything! Have you ever been to a church service in which the drummer could not keep a beat? In that moment, it made it difficult to flow with the music because the beat was not right. However experiencing a great drummer playing and keeping the timing just makes you want to dance and sing. There is joy in moving to the sound and flow from the beat of the drum. There is rhythm in the garden and when we move to the beat of the garden, then are we able to produce. A beat can be found in the garden. The garden has its own pulse or rhythm. When we find it then are we able to get things done. The garden produces for us. We are moving together in harmony. Asking the garden to produce out of rhythm is very frustrating and what will happen is that insects and other things in the garden will come and cut it down. Nature works together to grow, prune and compost. With the appropriate movement in the ga
