Keep hearing "Be Still and know that I AM GOD". So hard for me but I'm learning. "Wait on the LORD". Psalm 37:34

What shall I render unto the Lord for all His benefits towards me.. Psalm 116:12

"Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows."  James 1:16

"If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all - how will he not also, along with him graciously give us all things?......For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:31, 38

"Who is like the Lord our God - strong to save, faithful in love! My debt is paid and the victory won - the Lord is my salvation!" words from a song by Keith Getty

Prayers for recruits, sailors, families and friends this day.

For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.  1 Timothy 4:8

But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that.

1 Timothy 6:6–8


Father, God, I want to be spiritually healthy and fit for service. I want to grow stronger and become more like Jesus as I experience your abundant life.  I know all good gifts come from you. I’m overwhelmed by the many ways you bless me. Help me to notice my blessings and take nothing for granted. Through Christ your Son, Amen

Comment by Blondie on June 3, 2019 at 10:19am

So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
Colossians 2:6–7

And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.  Colossians 3:17

Dear Lord, I commit myself to you today and ask for your ongoing protection and guidance as my roots grow deeper in the soil of your love. God, I want to reflect you and your grace and goodness in all that I think, say, and do. With the help of Your Spirit. Amen

Comment by Bearcat2018 on May 31, 2019 at 2:10pm

Thank you so very much.  Yes, all of these are encouragement for him (and me!).  I will be praying these and I appreciate knowing you are praying too.

Comment by Blondie on May 31, 2019 at 11:12am

For this reason I bow my knees before the Father…that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being. (Ephesians 3:14,16)

So we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; What can man do to me?” (Hebrews 13:6)

And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. (Philippians 1:6)

I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints. (Ephesians 1:16-18)

I hope one or more of these speak to you. Let your son know he is not alone, we are Praying.

For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them.   Matthew 18:20

AMEN

Comment by Blondie on May 31, 2019 at 11:03am

Praying with you for your son.

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans that I have for you, says the Lord, plans for peace and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Therefore, do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. (Matthew 6:31-33)

But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. (John 14:26)

Comment by Bearcat2018 on May 31, 2019 at 10:57am

Thank you for this encouragement.  I am asking prayers for my son as he is going through a difficult time of not qualifying to move on with his group.  He had high hopes and is discouraged.  I know that our hope is in the Lord and I pray that through this uncertain time he learns to trust in Him more.  Thank you.
