2 Peter 1:5-8 (NIV) 

For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

 

 (@Jesus Calling 365 Devotions with Real-Life Stories @Sarah Young)

You are qualified for God’s blessings, never doubt how much His love is for each and every soul he allows life.

2 Corinthians 3:18  But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord. And being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.

Ephesians 3:17-19  So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.  And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge-that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Psalm 46:10  “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”

 

 Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my perspectives or feelings)

Thank you, Father God, for another day to get back up and keep trying to grow forward.

I wish I could say my mind is clear, my being is filled with peace and that everything is going to be alright.       Yet as I try to align to the new changes that touch my day-to-day and then all of what the critics picking things apart.  Watching those I am close to ride that emotional roller coaster or even fight covid.  I wonder exactly what it is Jesus I should be doing.  Changes @Hayd

As the mind whispers my own conclusion how to fix some things, I know it is just the dark whisper to pull me away from what feeds this soul. Careless Whisper @George Michaels

But how do we manage, what is it without going from one extreme to the next that we can do to make the littles understand and grow forward too.     What is it that gives us back that deep nourishment that seems to be missing? Extreme Days @TobyMac

All those things that once so eagerly wide awake for seem to be layered up with what really should not matter.   All those we thought we could really believe in for only a moment stolen and replaced by that which just can be shook off.  Awake @Beckah Shae

 

Where are you now Father God?  Faded @Alan Walker   Wash through each and every soul I am connected and heal us.   Not just during a worship service but every day we are allowed back up.

 

Direct our steps and calm the storms within before the wrath destroys the very beings you wanted for life ever after.  The stagnant moments of still waters were not what were written about as we lay down by still waters in greener pastures finding harmonic peace in all the silence.  Psalm 42 @Tori Kelly

Life is what it is until it’s not!   Where is the help on the way for those who choose not to believe in you Jesus?  Help Is On The Way (Maybe Midnight) @TobyMac

 Where are you now and how does your children know when to stay, when to let go.   You are a jealous God Jesus. How He Loves Us @David Crowder Band

 Yet in these life lessons how can we direct the steps to you and make it come to be.     How do we teach the youth to listen and be their best selves?   Not turn heads, not to beat down but to some how find that in the middle that makes a difference.     Where are you Father?

 

All this craziness.  The virus is real, yet people are more consumed with the conspiracy theories that surround life itself.   Why People Believe Covid-19 Conspiracies @CNBC

Lord may we lift our heads, our hearts and look to the skies for you.  May we lift our spirits and find you deep within; even for just the butterfly that floats by or the beautiful colors of spring?  Lift Your Head Weary Sinner (Chains) @David Crowder Band

May we find everything in just the simple things and not worry about what is not.

Lord may I learn to forge through and forward and allow you to lift all I cannot control, change or be to be in your hands.   I cannot do this without you.  I really need you to show up in so many ways Jesus.  Not for me but those who will be here long after I am gone.   I need you to show up and show us the way.   

 

Who am I Jesus, to know what I do not deserve but that of your love, guidance, and protection?   Heal us Jesus.   Show us how to lead by example and keep doing our best forward.  Who Am I @Casting Crowns

 

Oh, how the world and all the noise can make us crazy yet staying locked away and avoiding life just to not be caught up can be devastating.   Where do we turn, who do we believe?

We all believe in something.   Just like when it comes to believing in God.   Everyone has someone they believe in but even those who deny God is real; they believe in Him enough to deny he exists.     I believe in you Jesus Christ, son of man, son of God.    The one true king of kings.     And I believe I need you more than ever here and now and all in this world need you yesterday, today and any tomorrows that may be.  

 

I still believe in you Lord, no matter what political agenda’s take over.  No matter what wars worldwide or internal.  I Still Believe @Jeremy Camp No matter how real an unseen virus that is impacting the world by the billions.   You are and always will be in control.    Show us the way.  Show up and heal this planet and give your believers strength, courage and abundant protection for healing. 

 

As for all that swirls around me or through my home. All that I am, all that are connected belong to you.

 Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my perspectives or feelings)

Never judge a book by the cover and never get stuck in one chapter thinking that is how the end game is.  It’s not over until it’s over and we are called home.  It is never too late to be our best selves or do the right thing. We can quit, we can give up getting stuck and licking our wounds, but it is not over, and God wants us to finish what we start.  Wants us to be our best selves no matter how much the struggle becomes or is, it is not over until we are no longer and even then, when we are children of God it is never over. It's Not Over @Mandisa -ft. Jasmine Murray & Rita Springer

 

Judgement we all have it, do it and run from it.  Forgive us Jesus for that which we never really understand until it is too late.  Forgive us for sometimes not living with blind faith when it comes to everything with and in you God.  Be it we spit on the belief of you with our actions or lack of.  Or just run through the world like the wind blowing not holding true to anyone thing or value.   Yet we do not realize without the wind, without the air which comes from you; we would never exist in humanity as we know it here and now.  Forgive Us Lyrics @for KING & COUNTRY (ft. KB)

There is never anything that I could say or do to truly repay in the gratitude I owe for life I am given.  Good, bad, or indifferent.   Sometimes beautiful and chaotic yet brilliant with the flow of love in so many colors with none understood.  Or that black and white matter of fact there is no way around anything to every know anything different.   And what about those times I try something out of the box, out of the swim lane?  Trying with hope and trust that what gives that abundant rush of forever and always wanting it to let go, then suddenly all that you know as too good to be true is laid out clear as day and night.  All of it feeding the growth and choices of what we can and will do next when we believe in all that we cannot see or see yet.  Thank you Jesus for allowing life to be and freedom of will to allow every soul to get back up and take off in any direction.  Never will I have enough worthiness to repay all you have been or will be. All My Words Fall Short  @Brandon Lake

The triggers we setoff or are setoff by like songs in our hearts. A word, an item, a person just hearing their name.  Or those places we reminisce in our minds eye.  Even where certain tunes, smells, or even words take us back in time where that special memory rises up and warms us for even a brief second.  What about all those that which triggered our change from where we never planned on being apart.  Or that of which we finally made it. 

Jesus I never want to let you go, and yes, I am never going to be worthy enough to know for sure.  I can only continue to do my best with what I am given.  Lover of all I can ever be, all I ever was no matter lost or found.  Jesus that song in my soul that fills me up through all the turbulence or even wreckage of the collateral damage that flew past and through us.  Taking and rearranging so many pieces of me along the way. May my soul never stop dancing with you Lord.    Song In My Soul @Phil Wickham ft. Hollyn

Each day we are given we have the ability to choose. Even if only in our minds in our hearts we get to choose where we allow our mind to take us.  We get to choose how to react, what to pray about, what to stay for, what to let go and move on for.  We are blessed with the ability to create, or be the change we want, even when others do not.  We get to choose if we will shine on, no matter how glim or dark those we care about around us continually pour out what ends up too heavy to carry or too dark to look through or past.  No matter how much we hurt, how much we want, how often we are beaten down or taken advantage of.   No matter how much we have, or the greatness of the moment is.   The right here and right now can and will change always.    People will be everything you want to see or hear until they are not.  Places and all the surroundings within change in the blink of a windstorm.   Things its all temporal; we cannot take any of it with us.   Yet your love Christ Jesus, your mercy and grace that bled out for us is eternal; not just forever.    Your peace even as we can go under will forever be more than anything of this world.    Any pain we may feel; physically, emotionally, or mentally and yes, I keep them separate even if they go hand in hand.      Any pain will never come close to what you took for our sins so we could have a life and be our best selves.     That which I fall short, and the world too is not exempt.

You alone Lord set the planets in motion; breathing us into life and then there was Jesus.   Father God; come show us; lead us.  Be with us.   There Was Jesus @ Zach Williams ft. Dolly Parton

 

As I look around, as I am consumed and stuck beating my own self up for that which will never be known.   For all the moments wasted, and all the new given.  For all the abilities of so many lost, or so many unexpected damning circumstances in anyone living soul’s life.   For all it can be, all it will be, all we want, all we run from.   May the truth prevail and bless all your children Lord?  No matter where we have been, no matter where we are going.    Jesus with every breath we are given may we surrender; may I surrender and give you all I am.   Jesus’ wreck all I am connected in your love.  Pour through every living being.  Give us the strength to stand with you in all we do.  I lift my eyes; I lift my spirit I lift my hands Jesus hear all that we are.  Your will be for love, your life and all that may come in between.  With Lifted Hands @Ryan Stevenson

Thank you for this new day and all that have come to pass or all that will come to be. As you wash us in new mercies each day given. New Today  @Micah Tyler  Together with you we will see the light.  See The Light @TobyMac (Separate Altogether Acoustic)

Hebrews 6:18-20    God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope offered to us may be greatly encouraged.  We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.  It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, where Jesus , who went before us, has entered on our behalf.  He has become a high priest forever, in order of Melchizedek.

 Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my perspectives or feelings)

Thank you, Jesus, for this new day.   No, I cannot go back.   You have carried me so far throughout all the days I would just quit and bury myself.   I am nothing; not just,  not enough but I am nothing without you Lord.    No matter what is, what is not.  No matter any yesterday or all the tomorrows.    Please never stop meeting me right where I am!   You are and always will be the life I am allowed.  Good, bad, or indifferent.  It just is what it is until the day it is no longer here and now and then my faith my hope will be in your heaven kingdom.  Here Again (Spontaneous - I Want More)  @Rheva Henry

 

To say I am always paying attention, I am always listening would be a lie.  So often I hear but I really never grasp what it really means until after the fact.  Thank you for all the lessons and ability to keep learning through even what cannot be seen until it is wiped cleaned and seen with our hearts and not that of what we allow to pour in through our eyes or ears.  I want to always listen never missing one breath I am given. Show me Father, lead me, drive me.  Carrying me where I cannot get up.  I'm Listening  @Chris McClarney Ft. Hollyn

Quiet this mind, this heart and rise up the faith that it takes to move the mountains of this world that get in our way; distracting, derailing, and breaking us down.   Trusting in all you say even when I cannot hear it with these ears that day by day are blocked from hearing with all the noise and static that comes in such a vast world.   I need you then, I need you now and I need you always Jesus.  May I never forget who you are and who I am to you. For all the days I get up and run, may I run to you always first and when I forget as time fades me out; keep giving me the faith and the heart to reflect all you are, all that is kind, all that is pure and all that is truth. Give Me Faith  @Elevation Worship

You alone make me different Jesus.  All the storms, all the illness, all the heartbreak.  All that we see coming and all that what knocks the breath out of us.  All that I never understood and never will and all that is yet to come.  The truth is the change in me is only because of you Lord.   The hate, the anger, the self-conflicts, the fighting for what only adds darkness to all that is around and within me.  Though I may  never fully understand or deserve I am grateful to give all I am to you first and if that is first and only so be it.  But I want so much more Lord.  That which only you can give even when this imperfect spirt messes up, falls apart and drives people crazy sometimes.  Or even allows a reach to allow others in and mix up what you have set in motion.  Different @Michah Tyler

No matter how good, how bad.  How happy in the day today or broken I may become you will forever love me anyway and all your creation.  There is nothing that can compare or be understood clearly enough that humanity or even myself will ever fully get.  There is just that indescribable peace and drive that when we finally taste the unseen and want more, we truly know you are real, and nothing can change that.  Nor would I want anything less.  In fact, I so want more of you and all you have to give.  No matter when I am running in the opposite direction even when I stand still you Jesus love me beyond anything or anyone could ever do.  You Love Me Anyway @Sidewalk Prophets

Each day we get back up and are so torn and broken; forgetting to give thanks just to be alive much less forgetting to look around and see the shelter and blessings we have when so many do not have.  When torn and twisted and reminded all that we have been through forgetting how far we have come.  Knowing the pure free will and desire of our own hearts allow us to realize we were never alone.   There has always been another called Christ Jesus walking side by side through it all just waiting for us to lean in, call out, scream out, break down, or peacefully just hold those conversations that we would never have with anyone else. I was beyond lost in my own need to live long before ever finding my way to opening that door and now I can never get enough of anything he allows to travel through, with or for me.   Another In The Fire @Hillsong UNITED

Lord I pray always that all I am connected is washed over, washed through with your love and the ability to come to know this which you bless those who know you.  Call it indescribable peace, a love that we know but never really understand.  More importantly Father God, may I always be blessed that you never leave me and that all I am is yours; all I am connected belongs to you.  Show up in a real way for every soul.  Light us up Jesus, show the victories in the big in the small!  You will never leave those who come to you and genuinely want the blessing of eternal life.  May we come before you at that foot of the cross and know even when we just do not know what it is, we do not know That you are forever and beyond.  Never leave me Father, never leave this world when you have every right to eliminate what you created out of love to just start over again.   Never leave but fill us with the power of your blood, your heart, your vision your deep healing!  Your love now, then, and always. Never Leave @Red Rocks Worship 

 Thank you for each day given Jesus.   Though I walk through the valleys and shadows of sometimes my own confusion and trials of believing in others or wanting more where it should not be.  You have never failed me in strength, courage, and abundant love.

 

May I always lean in on you, with you, and for you to get back up!   Get Back Up @TobyMac

Thank you, Lord, for those days and this day.  There is something to be said for when looking back at the beauty and ashes of everything in the past and or any current day.  Talent and blessings given to so many with so many choices that led to what each soul involved called life while they had it.

No different today, even if the hair has changed and how we dress in most scenes.    No way do I have answers to tell why I am drawn in so many different directions.  But facts are music feeds my soul, my spirit, and my abilities most any day.

You Lord are the air I breathe, giving me so much courage and strength to just keep fighting forward.

Gravity always working against us, yet we have these unseen superpowers to defy it and when you get someone like John Mayer playing it out; we go to a whole new dimension just listening to the rifts and story being told.

So many in this world, so exceptionally smooth and that which need not be right in front of you yet feeling every second of every breath spoken or every moment spent.  Crashing over us and allowing us to just breathe in and hold what needs to be forever.

We all believe in something, we all think we know what stairway, tasks, deeds, and actions will take us to heaven. 

Yet the truth is we all will really find out on that judgement day for sure.  Best thing about it is the fact no matter if I have been wrong and turning my life over you Jesus all these years.   I sleep well and have more meaning in any  days I am given than I ever had before I fell in love with all you are and all you make me want to be.  Though the world may be watching closely, it really is only between you and me.   Nothing stands close than that which lives in the depths of our souls.

We all believe in something.  Someone!   Sometimes we see it come to life others are just awakened from the dreams or nightmares that come to pass.

You are beyond worthy Father God, as your Son Christ Jesus never deserved to suffer and go to that cross.  Yet He did so we could have life.    For me to even have a glimpse of his love is beyond anything I could ever deserve.

Thank you.

Thank you, for opening my heart, my wonder, and allowing me to see so much more in all things, all people. 

There are no words, no deeds Jesus.  Other than to please just consume me and all I am connected.    Touch of Heaven @David Funk | Worship Night
