Christian Reflection and Prayer

Scripture:

"Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find;
knock and it shall be opened to you. For everyone who asks
receives, and who seeks finds and to him wh knocks it shall
be opened" (Matthew 7: 7,8)

Reflection:

Come on do you really believe this verse. All you have to do is
ask, seek, and knock, and it's yours,,,,,come on! You know
something it's true, no lie, its really true. The first thing that I
really wanted of God was His Son to be in my life. There was
a point in my life that I needed someone, and I
needed help. I asked for Jesus to come into
my life, I sought after him and I found Him and knocked and He
opened the door. This works in reverse. Jesus asks, seeks and
knocks for you. Have you ever seen the picture of Christ standing
before a door knocking. That door is the door to your heart.
Notice one important thing about the door, there is no door knob.
You see you have to open the door to let Jesus in.

Prayer:

Thank you lord for coming into my heart. I asked, sought, and knocked
and You came in. Thank you for being my life. THANK YOU GOD FOR
BEING GOD.

Scripture:

"Come to Me all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest
Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me for I am gentle and humble
in near and shall find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My
road is Light." (Matthew 11: 28-30)


Reflection:

This is truly one of my favorite passages in the Holy Scriptures.
These 3 verses have brought such comfort my whole life. It is my hope
and prayer that you can find comfort and joy through these verses.
Whenever I am tired and so heavy burdened with life, I go to Jesus. He
is my strength, my rest, and I can find peace through Him. My Savior
is so gentle and kind, He provides peace and rest for my soul. For
Jesus's road is not difficult, its not burdened and heavy laden. You see
there is a light at the end of the road, there is peace and rest there, and
it's the peace of Jesus Christ.

Prayer:

My Lord Jesus Christ thank you for your peace and for your comfort.
Thank you that I find rest at your feet. Thank you that when I am
heavy burdened and feeling down in my life. You are there for me.
THANK YOU GOD FOR BEING GOD

Scripture:

Psalm 86
A prayer of David.
1 Hear, O LORD, and answer me, or I am poor and needy.
2 Guard my life, for I am devoted to you. You are my God; save your servant
who trusts in you. 3 Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I call to you all day long.
4 Bring joy to your servant, for to you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
5 You are forgiving and good, O Lord, abounding in love to all who call to you.
6 Hear my prayer, O LORD; listen to my cry for mercy.
7 In the day of my trouble I will call to you, for you will answer me.
8 Among the gods there is none like you, O Lord; no deeds can compare with yours.
9 All the nations you have made will come and worship before you, O Lord;
they will bring glory to your name. 10 For you are great and do marvelous deeds;
you alone are God.11 Teach me your way, O LORD, and I will walk in your truth;
give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name.
12 I will praise you, O Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify your name forever.
13 For great is your love toward me; you have delivered me from the depths of the grave.
14 The arrogant are attacking me, O God; a band of ruthless men seeks my life—
men without regard for you.15 But you, O Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God,
slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness. 16 Turn to me and have mercy on me;
grant your strength to your servant and save the son of your maidservant.
17 Give me a sign of your goodness, that my enemies may see it and be put to shame,
for you, O LORD, have helped me and comforted me.
