Everything will be fine

John 17:20-21

Morning Prayer

Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their world; That they all may be one; as thou, Father , art in me , and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

Aspiration

This passage is essentially a prayer for unity among the believers. It is a powerful prayer, prayed by Jesus Christ himself, who understands how important it is for us Christians to be united together. He knew , concerning his disciples or followers, that, once His death had occurred, they would need to stick together. His prayer was for them. However, it is for us as well. Unity is of utmost important in our Faith. There is already so much opposition to Christians in the world. The last thing we need to be oppositional with each other.

Prayer 

Lord Jehovah, I call upon You in the name of Jesus Christ to bless and sanctify the whole world to the souls of those who have the desire to come to before You. I ask that you can visit and easy their sorrows and worries, so they could see your hand that touches without discrimination. Bring them to you so we can be unified with You by the sacrifice of your begotten son Jesus Christ. I know I am strong but even stronger when I am united with those who believe in You. I thank You for your love and mercy. Help us to advance the cause of Christ. We bless you in Jesus’s name, Amen!

Virtuous woman

Proverbs 31:10

Who can find a virtuous woman. For her price is far above rubies.

Aspiration

This Proverb is another reminder of how important it is to find an excellent wife. Both men ( Ephesians 5:25 ) and women ( Ephesians 5:22) are reminded to look, and after finding, they must treasure each other. Women, you are reminded to always remember your importance as wives, that should endeavor to be such a wife as described in this passage ( Ephesians 5:22).

Prayer

Our Father who art in heaven, thank you for this day, good health, and for protecting the whole world. We thank you for your mercy and grace. We thank you for your existence, we thank you because you said that you will never leave or forsake us. Than you, really. For this, we are taking this opportunity to ask you to please help us women to see the importance of being the good partners to our spouses. Help us ( husbands and wives) to treasure one another as precious jewel. Thank you for reminding us of the importance of seeing each other in this light, we pray in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise

2 Peter 2:9 

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

Aspiration

As human, we always forget that Our God Jehovah is our creator who loves us more than anything. His goal is to get all of us to reunite with him in Heaven and have everlasting life. Because of our sins, we are falling apart deeper and deeper. But his hand is not shortened, that it cannot saver; ( Izaiah 59:1). Even parents could not bear to punish their children because they want to give second chances, to turn away from their wrong doing. Their friends laugh and see them as weak. They think that those parents giving their children too many chances, what they do not understand is that no parent ever wanted to enforce punishment, “ It is not that we are slack” It is just that we love our kids and do not want to have follow through with something that will hurt them. If a human can love his child so deep, how our Father in Heaven can be compare with human’s love that changes anytime. This is how Our Father in Heaven works with us. He has promised that there will be a judgment. And on that day, some people will be welcomed to Haven and some will be doomed to hell. But he desires that no one perish. So, he slows the count count. He wants everyone to have a chance to turn away from their wickedness. However, let us not mistake God’s kindness for weakness. And on that day, a price will be paid. The time to come to repentance in now, while he is still counting.

Prayer

Father in Heaven, thank you for your mercy. You desire that no one perishes, but all come to Jesus Christ. Thank You for the many opportunities You have given me, my family and friend to make the right choice. Thank You for not ending the count before I come to my senses. Amen!

God is always on time

Ephesiens 2:19-20

Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners but fellow cities with the saints, and of the household of God.

Morning Prayer

Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stones;

Aspiration

Citizens of the country have certain privileges that strangers or foreigners do not have. They can vote in elections. They can take advantage of government medical programs. They can receive monetary assistance from the government if necessary. They are protected by the country’s laws and can not be deported from the country. In the passage, Paul explains to the church of Ephesus that they are no longer strangers in God’s “ country ”, but that they have full citizenship in it, with the rights and privileges that accompany that claim. They have, in a sense, been “ annexed “ into the city of God. Jest as under the law, we are part of the family of God. Paul continues the metaphor by comparing the apostles and prophets to the bricks in a foundation. He says that these people laid the foundation for Christianity and that the weight of the Gospel is on their accomplishment. The foundation is what holds up the building, but the cornerstones are what holds the foundation together. If any important documents are to be housed in the stones, they are housed in the cornerstone, they entire building falls apart. Here Paul declares Jesus to be the chief cornerstone, on whom the entire foundation of the building ( Christianity ) rests.

Prayer

Lord, I am grateful to you for making me the citizen of your kingdom. You are the firm foundation resting on all those who come before you. And Christ is the cornerstone that holds it all together. Help us to be the blessed citizens in our community, love and respect one another. And don not forget those who come on our way through trials and different challenges, help them to always rely on your strength when they are week, we thank you Lord Jehovah for the amazing presence and grave we pray in Jesus Christ’s name, Amen!
