God is Great!




In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah. 
Psalms 44:8 




So now Israel, what do you think God expects from you? Just this: Live in his presence in holy reverence, follow the road he sets out for you, love him, serve God, your God, with everything you have in you, obey the commandments and regulations of God that I’m commanding you today—live a good life.  Look around you: Everything you see is God’s—the heavens above and beyond, the Earth, and everything on it.  God, our God, is the God of all gods, he’s the Master of all masters, a God immense and powerful and awesome.  Deuteronomy 10:12-17 (message)


I’m always grateful for another day that God has kept me and as King David declares, I will boast in the Lord every chance I get.

For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.  Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me  about with songs of deliverance. Selah.  I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go : I will guide thee with  mine eye.  Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must  be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.  Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall  compass him about.  Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in  heart.  Psalms 32:6-11

In everything that we do, in every place that we go, we ought to glorify God to the highest and make it known that we are a child of the King and that we serve the one true living God.  We ought to boast in the Lord of His goodness.  We should be lively stones, not sad sacks complaining of all the negative things surrounding us.

So even now, as we begin to pray, we want to thank God for His goodness unto us; for the things that He has done and the things that He is doing and the things that He is going to do!

Dear Heavenly Father, we thank You on this day Lord for Your grace and for Your mercy; for allowing us to see another day.  Lord we thank You because You first loved us. Lord, You love us with an everlasting love; more than we love our self, with a love that surpasses all understanding, and we thank You for it Lord.  We bless Your Holy Name.  Thank you Lord for your promises!

Lord we thank You that You are not like man that You should lie nor like the son of man that You should repent; if You spoke it, it will be done.  

God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?  Numbers 23:19

We thank You Lord for Your consistency; because You're faithful; and Your faithfulness does not waver.  We thank You Lord for Your longsuffering, Your loving kindness and for Your mercy towards us.   We thank You Lord because Your word is forever settled in Heaven and it will accomplish that for which it was sent.  Lord we thank You for the very plans that You have pre-destined for our life and Lord we pray that those plans be walked out and fulfilled by us. 

We thank You Lord because You know our need and we know that You are a provider of those needs.  When we walk in Your will, Lord, we know that the provision comes from You; Lord that You will make a way for us. 

Help us Lord to forgive our enemies even as You are faithful to forgive us our sins and our shortcomings.  

For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:   Matthew 6:14

Help us Lord to love in the manner in which You require.  Help us Lord to grow in the spirit of love which we know is Your very nature; a part of the fruit of the spirit. Lord You said in your word to follow peace with all men and holiness without which no one can see You.  

Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:  Hebrews 12:14

Help us Lord to come together in unity and love.

Purge us Lord that we may emerge with clean hands, a right spirit and a pure heart so that we can abound stronger in You Lord.   Help us Lord to continue pressing toward the high calling of You in Jesus Christ.   Lord we thank You for Your grace; you said in your word that your grace is sufficient to keep us.  

And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: . . .  2 Corinthians 12:9

Lord You said in Your word that You will not forsake us.

Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.  Hebrews 13:5

Lord, You said in Your word that we are to trust You with all of our heart.  You said to lean not to our own understanding but rather, that in all of our ways we are to acknowledge You and that You will direct our path. 

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.  Proverbs 3:5-6

We thank You Lord for your direction in our life today.  Our continuous pray is that You have Your way in our life.  Guide us with Your counsel Lord and through the Holy Spirit.   

Help us to know and accept that You are the potter, Lord, and we are the clay, mold us and make us into what we need to be in You – into what You have called us to be.

Lord we know that there is nothing too hard for You.  That which You have spoken You are able to perform and we know through our faith in You that it will come to past.   Lord we pray for our governmental leaders; they need your spiritual guidance!  Lord we pray for our spiritual leaders; that you strengthen and keep then built up in You, Lord that they continuously lift Your standard.  Lord we pray for the body of Christ that we remain steadfast in You and Your word!  Lord remember the sick among us, the elderly, the frail, the widows and widowers, the feeble, Lord and those that have lost loved ones.  Bring peace and comfort and strength in the name of Jesus.  Lord, we plead the blood of the lamb, against every evil and demonic influence that comes against us.  We know at the blood, everything unlike You has to flee because there is power in the blood of Jesus.   

We thank You Lord because You are a present help in the time of trouble.  And when we call upon You, You will come down and see about us.  That is an honor and a privilege that is undeserved and we praise You  for it Lord!

Lord we thank You because You are our stronghold in the time of adversity.  We thank You Lord because You uphold us in Your right hand!  We thank you Lord because You are our hiding place; You surround us with Your promises of deliverance.

Lord we thank You because we serve an AWESOME God; the one true God, the living God, the great I AM, the almighty God, the only WISE God.  Our Jehovah Rapha, (our healer), our Jehovah Nissi, (our banner), our Elohim (our power and might), our Jehovah Rohi (our shepherd), our Jehovah Jireh (our provider), our Jehovah Shalom (our peace), omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient, Hallelujah!  In You, Lord, we are complete, because in everything, You are!   You tell us in Your word that ‘power belongs to you.’  We ask even now, in the precious name of Jesus, Lord God, that You move in the atmosphere, Lord that you stir up the atmosphere, that you let Your healing power flow, Lord that you right the wrongs in our lives, send a refreshing and strengthen us in You oh Lord.

We thank You Lord for the comforter (the Holy Spirit) that You sent unto us; even to reside within us, to lead, guide and direct our steps and cause us to walk in Your statutes.  We thank You Lord for Your Holy Spirit that makes intercession for us when we don’t know what we should be praying for. 

Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.  Romans 8:26

Heavenly Father, we pray today that you intervene in every situation that is not in accordance to Your will.  Lord we pray for healing of mind, heart, spirit and body; knowing that you are able above measure.  Help us, Lord, Your glory carriers, to proclaim Your name, to lift Your name.  You said in Your word that if we lift You up that You would draw all men to You.  Let our conversations and our deportment honor You today, let it bring glory to Your name.  Every day, help us to remember Lord, that it is not about us, but about You and Your manifested glory. 

Lord we bless Your holy name today and we reverence You, we love You, Lord we magnify Your holy name.  Lord we place no one and nothing before or above You.  Once more, Lord we thank you in the wonderful name of Jesus.  Amen.


He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.  I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust."  Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler And from the perilous pestilence.  He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler.  You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day, Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.  A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you.  Only with your eyes shall you look, And see the reward of the wicked.  Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place, No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways.  In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.   You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot. "Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name.  He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him.  With long life I will satisfy him, And show him My salvation."   
Psalm 91:1-16


God bless you with peace and joy; may His grace abound in your life.
