My Morning Prayer; God Will Comfort You

My Morning Prayer; God Will Comfort You

God Will Comfort You
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

Comfort in prayer comes by knowing that the One you look to is always looking out for you. He is not only with you, but He is actively doing everything that is necessary to keep you safe within His care. You can be assured that above you are His tender mercies…around you is His unfailing love…underneath you are His everlasting arms.

Let, I pray You, Your merciful kindness and steadfast love be for my comfort, according to Your promise to Your servant (Psalm 119:76 AMPC).

My Morning Prayer

-Marina Bromley

Thank You, Father, for You are always watching out for me, caring for me, and providing for me. Thank You for keeping me safe within Your care, for placing Your tender mercies above me, Your unfailing love around me, and carrying me in Your everlasting arms. As I face this week, this day, this situation, remind me of the place You hold in my life, and the ways You are doing battle on my behalf. Help me to desire more of You, and less of myself. May Your will rule in my heart and my life. I love You, and need to be reminded of Your unwavering love for me. In Jesus's name, amen.

Timely Tidbits of Truth 33

Timely Tidbits of Truth 33
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

Jesus is the Rock that our faith can stand upon, the Tree that our faith can rest upon, the Way that our faith can walk upon, and the Truth that our faith can count upon.
 
Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me (John 14:6 NLT).
 
The Lord is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him (Psalm 92:15).

What Is Best

What Is Best

-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

When you have joy like a fountain,

grace to climb the highest mountain…
Truth that is your sure foundation,
freedom from all condemnation…
Peace beyond all earthly measure,
heaven’s riches as your treasure…
Hope that gives you expectation,
love that brings you affirmation…
Then your heart has found true rest,
for you have tasted of God’s best.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever (Psalm 23:6).

God’s way is perfect. All the Lord’s promises prove true. He is a shield for all who look to him for protection (Psalm 18:30 NLT).

My Morning Prayer, Nothing Is Better than His Presence

My Morning Prayer, Nothing Is Better than His Presence
-Roy Lessin and Marina Bromley

Nothing Is Better than His Presence
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow 
 
The greatest thing your heart can experience with God is His presence. He is greater than any of His gifts. What He is to you is greater than anything He can do for you. His lovingkindness is better than life…in His presence is fullness of joy…at His right hand are pleasures forevermore. When God gives Himself to you there is nothing higher or greater He can give.

Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise You (Psalm 63:3 NKJV).

My Morning Prayer

-Marina Bromley

Oh Dear Father...how often I try to substitute Your gifts for Your presence. Help me to desire only You, only Your presence, Your right hand, Your touch. I know in my head that I need You, help me to need You more than the gifts, more than You working Your will in my life, more than the healing. I just want You. Help me to keep these things in perspective, to be content sitting in silence at Your feet, meditating on Your Word, worshiping You in truth. I need more of You every moment of every day. In Jesus's name, amen.

Timely Tidbits of Truth 32

Timely Tidbits of Truth 32
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

The life that Jesus lived on earth taught us that if we want to live a life of faith and trust in our Heavenly Father, the word “impossible” would have to be taken out of our vocabulary.
 
For with God nothing shall be impossible (Luke 1:37).
 
Is any thing too hard for the Lord? (Genesis 18:14).

God’s Masterpiece

God’s Masterpiece

-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow
 
Long ago, God had a plan for your life.
Nothing about your life “just happened”. 
Luck doesn’t define your existence. 
Fate doesn’t explain why you are here. 
Your life is filled with meaning, value, and purpose because of the One who formed you and transformed you in Christ.
 
You are uniquely designed by your wonderful Creator! Nothing about you was hidden from Him. The sovereign hand that formed you is the hand that will uphold you, lead you, and keep you. You were made by Him, your Heavenly Father, and you were made for Him.
 
God made you for Himself. You are the vessel that holds His treasure. To know Him personally is your highest purpose. To serve Him faithfully is your greatest privilege. To please Him fully is your deepest joy. To be with Him forever is your greatest reward.
 
He is the one who determined your birth date. 
He brought you into this world, at this time, for a holy purpose…It is His will for you to be His light in a dark world, and to a needy generation.
 
He saw all of your days before you lived one of them. Nothing can stand in the way of His plan for your life! He is your hope and your future. As your Shepherd He will lead you, as your Father He will nurture you, as your Teacher He will instruct you, as your Shelter He will surround you with His tender mercies.
 
Today, and in every tomorrow, He will be with you in goodness, and care for you in faithfulness. Trust Him fully, follow Him completely, and never look back. His best for you is still ahead! Your heart has yet to realize the good things that God has prepared for you. 
 
For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago (Ephesians 2:10 NLT).

My Morning Prayer, God’s Heart Draws You to His Heart

My Morning Prayer, God’s Heart Draws You to His Heart
-Roy Lessin and Marina Bromley

God’s Heart Draws You to His Heart
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow
 
God loves you:
With a love that reaches to the heights,
With a love that goes to the depths,
With a love that calls you,
Draws you, keeps you,
And holds you close to His heart.

Then Christ will make His home in your hearts as you trust in Him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep His love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God (Ephesians 3:17–19 NLT).

My Morning Prayer
-Marina Bromley

Good morning, Lord God...Your love is encompassing me, and all that I see. Thank You for letting Your love reach me, no matter where I am situated—whether I am on a mountain top or deep in a valley. Thank You for always reaching out to me, and help me to have ears to hear Your quiet gentle Spirit as You whisper to me again and again. May my tattered heart and weary body feel the healing of Your embrace as You reach out to me every moment of every day...I need Your love in every sense of my being! Thank You for loving me, and help me to love others with the love You instill in me. May my heart be an extension of Your heart here on earth. In Jesus's name, amen.
