Proverbs 20:22
"Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the LORD, and he shall save thee."
Revenge Is Not Ours, But The Lord's!
When someone does evil to you, you will always be better off letting God handle it.
Revenge only feels good at first and it doesn't quench anger and it often leads to guilt.
God will always permit you to pray, even when you're angry and feel like doing the wrong thing.
Sometimes it's best to ignore feelings and know that they will go away like they came.
Don't allow your mind to dwell on what someone has done wrong to you.
Forgive and change the subject whenever the thought comes back to you.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can).
Lord Jesus, I thank You for forgiving me for my sin and I forgive those who have done me wrong right now.
I don't wish to repay them but I openly confess forgiveness and love for them.
I receive Your supernatural love and I wait on You oh Lord who has saved me!
In Jesus Name I pray,
Amen.

Proverbs 23:12
"Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge."
Don't Just Hear Instruction, Walk It Out!
Good instruction will make you a better person. It is not there to put you down, but to build you up.
Don't just hear good instruction and say "that's right," but apply it to your life and you will grow.
Tune out small talk and words that aren't profitable to your spirit.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can).
Lord Jesus, I ask You again to give me ears to hear what Your Spirit is saying to me and through your servants.
I have a mind to listen for Your voice and to obey Your instructions.
I rebuke having a stubborn and "know it all" mind set.
In Jesus Name I pray,
Amen.

2 Timothy 2:3
"Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ."
You CAN Take It And You CAN Make It!
Inevitably hard times will come.
Instead of worrying and complaining, treat them like a class on how to go through them.
What you say during a hard time will help determine how you get through it.
Complaining will never help the situation, but calling on Jesus will always yield deliverance.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can).
Lord Jesus, You are the way through any situation.
You are the Truth that I need for any answer I will ever need.
Please tell me what to do next and I will obey Your voice even if I don't quite understand.
I acknowledge that Your ways are vastly higher than mine and I put my trust in You.
In Jesus Name I pray,
Amen.

2 Timothy 2:16
"But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness."
Keep A Close Watch On What You Say!
Don't hinder your example by partaking in conversations that are unholy and don't build someone up.
Many youth today enjoy putting each other down and prophesying negativity and destruction to each other.
You are a Child of the Light and You belong to God. Someone definitely needs to be encouraged today.
Someone near you may feel like they can't take it any more and you could be the key to them hearing God's voice.
This is your season to grow up in the things of God and to make a change in your part of the world.
Let the Holy Spirit be your filter. Let Him regulate your conversations. You won't be sorry!
Be blessed and continue to walk in God's blessing today and everyday here after.
Jesus loves you so much and has a plan for this day the is profitable for you!
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can).
Lord Jesus, I receive Your Word today and I will keep a close watch on my words.
Lord, I don't want to satisfy my flesh and blend in with society, but I want to be a bold soldier in Your Army.
Please go with me today and everyday and let me sense Your peace and Your presence.
I WILL be Your vessel of honor this day and I will resist all temptation from the enemy.
In Jesus Name I pray,
Amen.

Proverbs 20:24
"Man's goings are of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way?"
Let The Lord Lead Even When You Don't Understand!
You may not always know what the Lord is doing in your life, but let Him keep leading you.
His leading is always for your good and His leading will always lead you to peace and joy.
Understanding what the Lord is doing is not important but knowing that He is leading you is imperative.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can).
Lord Jesus, I put my trust in You totally and completely.
You are my guide and You are the Way.
I resist having a stubborn or selfish spirit.
In Jesus Name I pray,
Amen.

2 Timothy 2:19
"Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal,
The Lord knoweth them that are his.
And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity."
Leave Iniquity Completely Alone!
Iniquity is sin habits or sinful ways.
It consists of things that someone knows is wrong but they do them anyway.
Leave sin alone and don't willingly keep company with people that have sin habits.
Sin and sin habits are like cancer and are easily spread. Let the Lord keep you!
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can).
Lord Jesus, I thank you for saving me from sin and I ask You to keep me from it.
Have Your divine way in my life this day and continue to steer me to Your perfect will.
I will let my light shine in the dark places that I must sometimes go to.
I will not blend in with the darkness.
In Jesus Name I pray,
Amen.

2 Timothy 2:24-26
"And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men,
apt to teach, patient, In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves;
if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil,
who are taken captive by him at his will."
Requirements For All Of God's Servants.
In order to be a servant of the Most High God, you must take on the "love characteristics of God."
God is a God of Love and of Patience who desires that no one should perish.
He is a gentle teacher who builds up and doesn't tear down with cutting remarks.
Our job is to love preach the gospel and to correct in love and not in condemnation.
We are not to be choosy who we minister to but are to be kind to everyone.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can).
Lord Jesus, I invite You to have Your way in me today.
I will live a life that pleases You and is an example of Your Kingdom to others.
Please help me to be humble, gentle, and meek.
In Jesus Name I pray,
Amen.

Ephesians 5:11-12
"And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret."
A Word About What Company Not To Keep
We are sanctified which means to be set apart from others for a divine purpose.
We should not have conversations about what sinners do in the dark because it is a shame.
We should not be entertained by scenes that have to do with sinful acts.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can).
Lord Jesus, I choose to walk in Your Light and in Your Word.
I will not keep company with those or speak of those who love darkness.
I resist all temptation that the enemy brings.
In Jesus' Name I pray,
Amen.

Psalms 51:10
"Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me."
Clean My Heart Lord.
To create means to make something out of nothing.
The Lord and only the Lord is able to take a filthy dirty heart and make it white as snow.
This is a prayer that is good to pray every day because we are human.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can).
Lord Jesus, I pray the prayer that David prayed and I ask that You create a clean heart in me.
Please renew my spirit and cleanse me from all uncleanliness.
I receive Your cleansing power over my heart and spirit this day.
In Jesus' Name I pray,
Amen.

Isaiah 1:19-20
"If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword:
for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it."
Reward Comes With Obedience
Remain willing to do whatever God commands of you and obey His Word.
Rebelling means to be disobedient to what you already know to do.
Disobedience is sin and separates us from God, where obedience brings blessing.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can).
Lord Jesus, I am willing to do whatsoever You command of me and will obey Your voice.
I resist rebellion and stubbornness.
I receive Your blessing and peace over my life this day.
In Jesus' Name I pray,
Amen.

1Peter 1:15
"But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;"
Self Explanatory
Remain clean in every conversation you take part of and back away from unclean talking.
Unclean conversations lead to ungodliness which can push us away from our blessings.
There are too many people around you that need you to speak life and encouragement!
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus I commit my speech and vocabulary into Your hands.
I want to glorify Your Kingdom with my conversations and never want to tear anyone down.
Holy Spirit, please be my filter today and help me to think before I speak.
In Jesus' Name I pray,
Amen.

1John 1:9
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins,
and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
You Are Forgiven!
God is not like man and will not hold sin over your head, but He will forgive you.
Be careful though that you don't use that as a license to sin freely.
Remember also that even though God forgives you, sin still produces destruction, so turn from it.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus I ask You to forgive me for all of my sin and wash me in Your blood.
Thank You for the price You paid for my sin to be washed away.
I will abstain from sin as it never produces anything good.
I resist temptation to do wrong.
In Jesus' Name I pray,
Amen

Luk 10:19
"Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions,
and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you."
You Have So Much Power!
God has given you so much power and it's up to you to learn how to use it.
You have power over all of the power of the enemy and he knows it.
Don't let distractions of the world keep you from knowing the power that is active in you.
God's power in you is activated by you using His Word in faith.
Also, when you resist the devil he MUST run from you.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus I receive Your power and authority and I will exercise it this day.
Please help me to be wise and to have a mind to study Your Word.
I resist satan and his devices and reject all of his temptations.
In Jesus' Name I pray,
Amen.

1 John 3:13
"Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you."
Don't Be Surprised That The World Hates You!
We are not of the world because we have born again into the Kingdom of Heaven.
People who don't understand this will likely reject you and point you out as odd.
Rejoice however, that your name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life.
You are part of a divine, royal and eternal Kingdom!
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus You are my King and I proudly serve as one of Your soldiers in Your army.
I will take whatever I have to take and I understand that you won't put more on me than I can bare.
I bless Your name and thank you for allowing me this great honor to be one of Yours.
I reject every spirit of timidness and shame.
In Jesus' Name I pray,
Amen.

Matthew 7:12
"Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you,
do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets."
Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them Do To You!
You will be amazed to see how doing good to others comes back to you!
It's not just good to the person that you are doing good to, but it is a seed you plant that grows.
Some will not appreciate you doing good to them, but do it anyways knowing that God is watching.
Remember what you do in secret , God will reward you openly!
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus I desire to make today about sewing good seeds and doing good to others.
Lord, I will do good to others even if I don't see it come back to me right away.
I will even do good to those who don't appreciate it, knowing that You, Lord, are watching.
In Jesus' Name I pray,
Amen.

"Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way,
that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life,
and few there be that find it."
The Gate of Destruction Is Wide And The Gate To Life Is Narrow!
It is up to you and only you to choose which gate to pass through.
Jesus is the door to eternal life and your flesh (selfishness) is the gateway to everlasting destruction.
Choose to serve God with your whole heart today and everyday.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus I choose Your way over my way. I choose life.
You are the Way, the Truth and the Life as well as the door to heaven.
Have Your way in my life today and be glorified in all I say and do.
Please order each one of my steps today.
In Jesus' name I pray.
Amen.

"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing,
but inwardly they are ravening wolves."
Be Careful Who You Listen To!
Use extreme caution when it comes to who you get advice from.
Don't look for what you want to hear, but always seek the truth.
Be sure the person you listen has a prayer life and will take the time to pray before speaking.
Remember the truth will always line up with God's Word and will come with peace.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus I ask You to help me to know who to listen to when it comes to my life.
I pray that You give me discernment to know the difference between Your voice and bad advice.
I also cast down my own imaginations in my mind.
In Jesus' name I pray.
Amen.

Matthew 7:17
"Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit;
but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit."
Good and Bad Both Have Evidence
It's not hard to tell what kind of tree you are looking at when the fruit is right there on the branch.
We are like those trees and the choices we make help to create the fruit we bare.
The difference between a good and bad tree is extreme and very noticeable.
Keep on doing good to others and obey what God's Word tells you to do.
The evidence won't be far behind!
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus I want to be a good tree that produces much fruit for Your Kingdom.
Let others see my good works and glorify You and desire to change their ways.
Please help me to do good to even those who do me wrong.
In Jesus' name I pray.
Amen.

Only Those Who Do The Will of God Make It To the Kingdom
This is one area of God's Word that is extremely serious and needs to be taken as such.
Only those who are obedient to God will make it to heaven and will also have benefits here on earth.
Strive sincerely to learn God's Word and to know His voice and live life and eternity without regret!
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus I receive Your Word, Your will, Your instruction and Your correction.
Please give me ears to hear Your voice and a mind to study and comprehend Your Word.
I understand that it is a privilege to be an ambassador of Your Kingdom and I desire to hear You say "well done!"
In Jesus' name I pray.
Amen.

A Wise Is A Hearer And A Doer of God's Word
We need to more than hear the Word of God but we must be a doer of God's Word.
Your life will be full of evidence that you obey God.
When your life is based on God's Word you will have a steadiness that the world doesn't have.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus I will be a doer of Your Word.
I am hungry to know more of Your Word and to please You.
I resist having a prideful, self seeking spirit.
In Jesus' name I pray.
Amen.

The Lord blesses (does good things and gives good things) to those who live right.
The Lord also surrounds His children with favor (good standing with those around us).

The Present And Future Of A Believer
What awesome benefits we have when we trust and obey the Lord!
You don't have to chase goodness or mercy, they chase you!
Then when we leave this earth we get to dwell in our own mansion with the Lord forever!
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus I thank You for Your goodness and Your mercy and I receive all You have for me right now.
I am looking forward to dwelling with You in peace throughout eternity.
Please let every day of my life here glorify Your Kingdom.

Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus I thank You that You will never leave me nor forsake me.
I know that You are a friend that sticks closer than a brother.
I bind the spirit of fear and receive the peace from God that surpasses my understanding.

Luke 18:1
"And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;"
Prayer Changes Everything!
Jesus taught us and commanded us to pray because prayer is so very powerful and beneficial.
Prayer isn't something you do out of religious obligation but it changes everything you bring to God in prayer.
Use this weapon of prayer against the devil and for the benefit of your life.
God's ways are higher than ours as the heaven is from the earth and His ways are better than ours.
Why wouldn't we acknowledge someone who will happily tell us a better way and solve our problems?
Jesus told us that He IS THE WAY. Try going to Him in every situation. You will be so glad you did!
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus I thank You for this very powerful weapon of prayer that You gave to me.
Please remind me to exercise and maximize this gift that I have to come to God in Your name.
I lay my life down to You Lord, because I trust You and know that You are the Way.
I don't have to have things my way as long as I know I am pleasing You.
I humble myself in Your sight this day.
In Jesus' name I pray.
Amen.

"Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child
shall in no wise enter therein."
How To Enter The Kingdom Of Heaven
A little child is innocent and has to learn everything from the beginning.
Being born again we must learn how to live and act to get us ready for the Kingdom of God.
Be willing to learn and to study how to be what God wants you to be.
Learn Your heavenly father's voice and obey His commands.
Like a good dad, God wants to bless His obedient children!
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus I come to You as a little child and I am willing to listen and learn.
I won't be stubborn and I will get to know Your voice and will obey You.
Thank You for allowing to be one of Yours.
In Jesus' name I pray.
Amen.

"No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper;
and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD."
This Is Your Heritage!
Because you are a child of God, the weapons that the devil uses against you won't work.
People that lie about you and speak against you have to deal with your protective God.
Your righteousness (right standing with God) is not of yourself but comes from God.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus I thank You for this awesome inheritance I have being Your child.
I count it an honor and a privilege to be a servant in Your Kingdom.
Please order my steps today and continue to show me how to please You.

It is good that you know that you have power over all of the power of the devil.
When you were born again your name got written in the Lamb's Book of Life.
Your name in that book assures your entrance into heaven.
Be glad and thank God that your name is written there!
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus I thank You that my name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life.
Thank You for paying the price You paid for my sins to be washed away.

His help is never off and it is always on time (His perfect time).
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus I thank You for Your help and that You are a very present help in a time of trouble.

The Power Of The Holy Ghost Is Real!
The Holy Ghost who is also known as the Comforter is God's Spirit from Heaven will dwell in you.
If you invite Him in, He will fill you (your body is a temple of the Holy Ghost) and He will teach you.
He will also help you remember things He has taught you before.
He will comfort you and guide you through every situation.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can)

If what you are doing seems or could seem questionable it is best not to do it.
People see what you do more than they hear what you say.
The company you keep will often determine who people think you are.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus I thank You for making me clean inside.
I ask You to guide me concerning all choices I make and company that I keep.
May my life honor You and Your Kingdom this day.
