Opening:
God is awesome. We know with Jesus that Heaven is assured. We know that anything is possible with God. He can do anything. Any fantasy in any book, movie, tv, video game, comic book or our imagination is possible! However we might wish, the future will be better because God wants what is best for us. God knows what we want more than we know what we want!
Who knows what the future will hold? We know eventually it will be awesome forever. In this fallen world as we do good and try our best, good things or bad things might happen. Sometimes the devil makes things real real bad in order to test our faith in Jesus. When we succeed in clinging to God, it wins battles for the cause of good. Jesus already won the war so our failings won’t change our destiny. Just know when things get bad and we still try and do good, this can result in eternal blessings of immense proportions.
We don’t know what is next. Often God acts too. And who knows what miracle we might see. You’ve probably read my miracles at www.goodnewsjim.com. I pray you guys get miracles in your life too. Pray for a whole lot of things.
Prayer for Forgiveness:
God, we try our best. God we want to do good. We try our best and want to do good, but we still fail. Thankfully Jesus forgives us. We might even have a lapse now and then in ways we shouldn’t fail in, but we do. We pledge to try harder not to sin. Thank you for forgiving us.
Today’s Blessings:
God bless you with faith. God bless you with joy. The Bible tells us in many places not to worry. May you have the opposite of worry: Joyful expectation! What could come next? I know eventually it will be awesome!
Prayer Cues:
Pray that people can get out of depression. Share the Good News with as many as you can.
Pray people have stuff to look forward to. With God, we have eternity of awesomeness even if nothing down here to.
Pray for hope yourself. Look, cool stuff can happen down here, no matter how old you are.
Scripture of the Day:
Psalm 139:14 I praise you because you are to be feared; all you do is strange and wonderful. I know it with all my heart.
Luke9:26 “If you are ashamed of me and my teaching, then the Son of Man will be ashamed of you when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.” Jesus warns about being ashamed of him. So be bold about God! God things matter more than even perceived social concerns.
