THE PRAYER OF A RIGHTEOUS MAN IS POWERFUL AND EFFECTIVE. ( JAMES 5:16 *NIV )
I truly believe that our prayers are the most powerful things on Earth! After all what is a Miracle but a prayer that has been answered!
Thus it is written: DO NOT BE ANXIOUS ABOUT ANY- THING, BUT IN EVERYTHING, BY PRAYER AND PETITION, WITH THANKSGIVING, PRESENT YOUR REQUESTS TO GOD. ( PHILIPPIANS 4:6 ) After all, THE LORD IS FAR FROM THE WICKED BUT HE HEARS THE PRAYER OF THE RIGHTEOUS. ( PROVERBS 15:29 )
Now I know that when our prayers aren’t answered the way we would like, it can disappoint us, we are sad and often depressed. However it is written that we should: BE JOYFUL ALWAYS; PRAY CONTINUALLY; GIVE THANKS IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES, FOR THIS IS GOD’S WILL FOR YOU IN JESUS CHRIST. ( 1 THESSALONIANS 5:16-18 )
Therefore, never feel that God doesn’t hear your prayers because a prayer isn’t answered immediately, or because it isn’t answered the way you would like. For your Heavenly Father always knows what is best for you, and HE WILL NOT LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU. ( DEUTERONOMY 31:6 )
So, remember to always GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD, CALL ON HIS NAME, for He will always hear the prayers of those who love and adore Him! ( 1 CHRONICLES 16:8 )
In closing my prayer is that: THE GRACE OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, AND THE LOVE OF GOD, AND THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT BE WITH YOU ALL. ( 2 CORINTHIANS 13:14 ) Now and always! Amen!
Positive thoughts, positive results

“ALL OF THE DAYS OF THE AFFLICTED ARE EVIL, BUT HE WHO IS OF A MERRY HEART HAS A CONTINUAL FEAST.” ( PROVERBS 15:15 *NKJV )
We are all Architects of our own future! The thoughts we have today dictate what our future holds for us tomorrow. Therefore a person who has positive thoughts shall have positive results, just as a person who has negative thoughts shall attract negative results in their life.
Therefore if we start our day by counting all of our blessings, and then try to have positive thoughts all day, our hearts will be indeed merry! Thus as it is written: “A MERRY HEART MAKES A CHEERFUL COUNTENANCE, BUT BY SORROW OF THE HEART THE SPIRIT IS BROKEN.” ( PROVERBS 15:13 )
Be thankful for all that you have, for “HAPPY ARE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE IN SUCH A STATE; HAPPY ARE THE PEOPLE WHOSE GOD IS THE LORD!” ( PSALM 144:15 ) After all it is then that you will have a continual feast!
Now may, “THE GRACE OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, AND THE LOVE OF GOD, AND THE COMMUNION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT BE WITH YOU ALL.” AMEN. ( 2 CORINTHIANS 13:14 )
Just as a shepherd will protect his sheep

MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE, AND I KNOW THEM, AND THEY FOLLOW ME. AND I GIVE THEM ETERNAL LIFE, AND THEY SHALL NEVER PERISH; NEITHER SHALL ANYONE SNATCH THEM OUT OF MY HAND. ( JOHN 10:27-28 *NKJV )
Now just as a shepherd will protect his sheep, Jesus will protect us from Eternal harm. Even though we may suffer here on Earth from the devil’s temptations, satan cannot harm our souls or take away our Eternal Life with God in Heaven.
While there are many reasons to be fearful here on this Earth: BECAUSE YOUR ADVERSARY THE DEVIL WALKS ABOUT LIKE A ROARING LION, SEEKING WHOM HE MAY DEVOUR. ( 1 PETER 5:8 ) It is through Jesus that we are given Eternal safety. For: THIS IS THE TESTIMONY: THAT GOD HAS GIVEN US ETERNAL LIFE, AND THIS LIFE IS IN HIS SON. HE WHO HAS THE SON HAS LIFE; HE WHO DOES NOT HAVE THE SON OF GOD DOES NOT HAVE LIFE. ( 1 JOHN 5:11-12 )
So my friend, always remember: THE LORD ALMIGHTY IS WITH US; THE GOD OF JACOB IS OUR FORTRESS. ( PSALM 46:7 ) Therefore: WHY SHOULD I FEAR WHEN EVIL DAYS COME, WHEN WICKED DECEIVERS SURROUND ME? ( PSALM 49:5 ) For: THE LORD IS MY LIGHT AND MY SALVATION–WHOM SHALL I FEAR? THE LORD IS THE STRONGHOLD OF MY LIFE OF WHOM SHALL I BE AFRAID? ( PSALM 27:1 )
Now, may: THE GRACE OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, AND THE LOVE OF GOD, AND THE COMMUNION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT BE WITH YOU. AMEN. ( 2 CORINTHIANS 13:14 )
