How to invite Peace- Part 2

~ Senaah ~ Leave a comment

In this time where so much breaks our heart, I want to introduce you to something that helps me stay calm and invite peace into my life. Meditation. Thank you mindfulness.org for the incredible tips!

What are the benefits of mindfulness meditation?

  1. Connect better: Ever find yourself staring blankly at a friend, lover, child, and you’ve no idea what they’re saying? Mindfulness helps you give them your full attention.
  2. Improve focus: It can be frustrating to have our mind stray off what we’re doing and be pulled in six directions. Meditation hones our innate ability to focus.

If you would like to be an active part of your community’s growth and revitalization, check out the following ideas.

Environment.

  1. Clean up trash from a local outdoor space.
  2. Organize a hike or nature walk with friends, and bring bags to collect trash along the trails.
  3. Have fun with creating homemade paper out of used paper with friends (It’s easy, fun, and green!)
  4. Grow your own vegetables, fruits, and herbs in an organic garden, and encourage others to do the same.
  5. Instead of using the car, choose the healthy route and bike to your next location. Burn energy, not gasoline

Dear Lord,

help me, oh Gracious Father to not be caught up in religion, but to be caught up in spirit; Your Holy Spirit that I might be more effectual in my prayers and be obedient to You (Jeremiah 1:5).

I want to serve Your Divine purpose, Lord; and do what is good and right in Your sight. Allow me, Dear Lord, to live in Your Light and the Love that You have for me. Show me how to be helpful to Your Kingdom.

Show me how to live a life of constant praise to You. Jeremiah 29:11. Bless Jesus Christ’s Holy Name.

Amen!

Gods Promise to Bless Me- Prayer

~ Senaah ~ Leave a comment

As I give, it is given unto me, good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over. Luke 6:38.

My God makes all grace abound toward me in every favor and earthly blessing, so that I have all sufficiency for all things and I abound to every good work. 2 Corinthians 9:8. I am blessed in the city, blessed in the field, blessed coming in, and blessed going out, my laying down, my rising up.

I am blessed in my finances, in my health, and in my relationships; they all flourish in the Lord. The blessings of the Lord overtake me in all areas of my life and I receive them. Deut 28:1-14. I am like a tree planted by rivers of water. I bring forth fruit in my season, my leaf shall not wither, and whatever I do will prosper if it is done in accordance to God’s will for your life. Psalms 1:3.

The blessings of the Lord makes you truly rich, and He adds no sorrow with it. Proverbs 10:22. The Lord has opened unto me His good treasure and blessed the work of my hands. He has commanded the blessing upon me in my storehouse and all that I undertake. Deuteronomy 28:8 and 12. God delights in my prosperity. Deuteronomy 8:18, 11:12 God has given me all things that pertain to life and godliness, and I am well able to possess all that God has provided for me. Numbers 13:30, 2 Peter 1:3-4.

I delight myself in the Lord, and He gives me the desires of my heart. Psalms 37:4. The Lord rebukes the devourer for my sake, and no weapon that is formed against me will prosper. By my faith in the Lord Jesus Christ I declare that all obstacles and hindrances to my prosperity are now dissolved, Isaiah 54:17. The Lord is my shepherd, and I do not want. Jesus came that I might have life and have it more abundantly. Psalms 23:1; John 10:10.

Amen

Thank you, Prayer book, for your scripturally based prayers.

Growth and Accountability

~ Senaah ~ Leave a comment

During this time, it is very easy to get into a slump. One way I am staying active and positive is connecting with a friend or family member and making them an accountability partner. The activity can be reading a book with my siblings or committing to get out of bed and do some form of exercise with my best friend, I have found that making accountability partners gives an air of purpose to my day during this quarantine.

Today I want to encourage you to not only reach out and check on your loved ones but make a commitment with someone. Set a goal and check in with one another until the task is complete! You will not only add value to your time at home, but you are now introducing another way to bond with the people you love the most.

The Right Heart Attitude Prayer

~ Senaah ~ Leave a comment

“Heavenly Father, I come to You and ask You in Jesus’ Name to set me free from any wrong thoughts, feelings of fear, doubt, and unbelief.

Lord Jesus I ask You to free me from any thoughts that I have that is contrary to You and is hindering me now from coming to You.

I ask You, Father God, to deliver me and help me now to be free from all hindrances I have in becoming Your born-again Kingdom child, in Jesus Christ’s Holy Name. I resist the devil and all his evil spirits must flee and leave my presence.

Lord God, remove any lies and hindrances and help me so I can say the above prayer of salvation in earnest from my heart! Lord Jesus I ask You to help me now. I choose to believe in You, I choose to trust in You now, to speak and pray to You the prayer of salvation, which is enough to help me, and cause me to become Your Kingdom Child!
