Think on these things

New International Version (©1984)Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things. Philippians 4:8

Father in heaven as Michelle goes about her daily routine I pray that as she encounters many worldly influences that she always be reminded of the true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent and praiseworthy things. That those thoughts would be uppermost in her heart and mind. So that as she moves and she speaks grace and truth will proceed from her mouth. Thank you for all that you have bestowed upon her. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen

The joy of the Lord

Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is sacred to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength (Nehemiah 8:10).

Father, i Pary that Michelle not experience overwhelming sorrow in times of difficulty and grief. But that she be encouraged in you. Encouraged to have joy in her heart, for joy in you is strength. In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

James 1: 2– 4 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

Dear Father, We can count on trials coming. James says - don't be surprised or think it's some strange thing that should not be happening. I pray for Michelle that she may be able to "count it all joy". Rejoice?  Yes, be glad that you are providing her with an opportunity to grow. Just like the little seedling in our picture, growing strong through adversity. Keep her eyes focused on you Lord, keep her heart filled with your presence. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.

Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Lord, I praise and thank you for being with me. You are God and yet you love me. How I thank you. I pray that Michelle will feel your presence and the comfort and joy of knowing you. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.
