To Be Confident In God

 

Dear Lord please be with us this day and please may Your Holy Spirit be guiding and protecting us in every thing that we say and do. Thank You for all of the great gifts and blessings and protection that You give us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others.

Dear Lord please lead us into paths of confident decisions as we mix and mingle with Your Children in Your Creation while seeking Your Kingdom among the temptations of this world even as we are sometimes at odds with what seems to be truth but that we know is not, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.


Quotations:*

Look at that beautiful butterfly and learn from it to trust in God.  One might wonder where it could live in tempestuous nights, in the whirlwind, or in the stormy day; but I have noticed it is safe and dry under the broad leaf while rivers have been flooded and the mountain oaks torn up from their roots. -J. Taylor

Our confidence in Christ does not make us lazy, negligent or careless, but on the contrary it awakens us, urges us on, and makes us active in living righteous lives and doing good.  There is no self- confidence to compare with this. --Ulrich Zwingli

Believe in yourself and you will turn more of yourself into practical use.   -Anonymous


KJV*

Mt 4:3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.

Mt 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
