Welcome to A.D. Now! Anno Domini = “in the year of the Lord”.
We are bringing you our May scripture study, and prayer today to help start your week, and month off right!
The topic at hand that we will be studying is focused on staying strong in Christ no matter what!!! These days are rough. Children are being taken from us an at alarming rate, crime is at an all time high, and the schools are teaching curriculum that is not based on reason or sound judgement. SATAN will NEVER win and he knows it. But he does not want you to know it. God PREVAILS over all, and in the end, you will be strengthened in an unimaginable way beyond your greatest dreams!!!
STRENGTH training through scripture is key!!
Below our prayer you will find 7 Bible verses focused on strength in and through Christ.
Before we start, I would like to pray for all of us.
Heavenly Father, thank you for this day. Forgive us our sins, for we know not what we do. Allow us to have understanding and discernment, so that we we may know the difference and choose right. Keep us safe and out of harms way so we may do your work. Fill us with your love, light, joy and peace, filling us with your strength for us to keep strong in and through Christ. Cast out our shadows of darkness and allow your light to shine so bright within us that it may cast out the shadows of others. Cloak is with your comfort so we may work well for you Lord. These things we ask, these things we pray in the name of your son Jesus Christ, Amen.
Isaiah 41:10 ESV
Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Philippians 4:13 ESV
I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
Hebrews 12:11 ESV
For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
Psalm 73:26 KJV
My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
2 Corinthians 12:10 KJV
Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
Psalm 18:1-2 KJV
I will love thee, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
Hebrews 4:12 KJV
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
I choose these 7 scriptures in hopes it will bring strength to any that is in need of it. This world is wearing, dark, and dreary. We need it, the light, the joy, the hope. It’s the flowers, and sunshine of the soul. That is what matters. And just like when we stop to smell the flowers in the waking world it rejuvenates our being.
Hang on tight to God, and know. We will survive, God prevails. We have an opportunity in and through Christ to be with our heavenly Father again.
I added websites to the Scriptures so you can explore each one deeper. As it is important not to just read verses, but the whole chapter to get a clearer picture and message. Some are English Standard Version, and the rest are King James Version.
I wish all of you many blessings. May God and his strength be with you all in Jesus name Amen.
God bless,
Your Host ~D.
