“Blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied) are they who keep His testimonies, and who seek, inquire for and of Him and crave Him with a whole heart”(Psalm 119:2 AMP)
Often times when we hear the word “crave”, we automatically think about food cravings. Cravings can be triggered by just about anything. You may see an advertisement of your favorite burger or hear someone mention ice cream, and it produces an image in your mind. You replay that image over and over again until you have to get in your car and seek that thing you are craving! Your spiritual cravings work the same way. When you focus on God and meditate on His Word, it starts to change your desires on the inside. Spiritual hunger for Him will grow and develop into a craving-until you actually have to stop everything else in order to seek Him! If you feel spiritually hungry, take a step of faith and begin to focus your heart more on God and His Word. The Bible says that when you seek Him with your whole heart, you will find Him. Just like the verse says, when you crave God and obey His commands, you will live happy and blessed all the days of your life!
A Prayer for Today
Dear Lord, today I set my focus on You. I choose to seek You with an open heart. Remind me of Your goodness today and keep me close to You. Thank You for filling me with Your peace and joy and for empowering me through the Truth of Your Word.
We worship you, O Lord. We lift our hearts to you, Lord, for we know you hear our prayers!
All Glory, Praise, Honor and Thanks be to God, for the many wonderful blessings in our lives! He is our comfort and our strength. May He continue to send you abundant blessings every day, my dear friend.
May God send you many blessings every day and surround you with His Love, my friend. :) Wishing you a beautiful day tomorrow and a wonderful rest of the week! Teach Me Lord
Teach me day by day, Lord, To delight myself in You; Teach me through Your Word, And the doors You take me through.
Teach me, Lord, to see You In all about me here; And when I feel forsaken, Remind me that You're near.
Help me hear the songs That You sing to me each day; Show me how to trust You more, And teach me to obey.
Lord, help me feel Your presence, Be in all I say and do; Teach me how to know You, To delight myself in You.
If a BEST FRIEND was a raindrop... I'd send you showers. If hugs were a second... I'd send you hours. If smiles were water... I'd send you the sea. If friendship was a person... I'd send you me. Friends are like balloons, once you let them go you can't get them back, so I am going to tie a string to my heart, so I never loose you. " Love & Respect!

"May the Lord bless you and keep you; May the Lord shine His face upon you and be gracious to you; May He keep you safe from harm, and shield you from all wrong; May He grant you His peace; May He guide you on your way; Bring you joy with each new day."
Hope you are having a wonderful weekend, dear friend. :-)
Blessings and love in Christ, Angel of Jesus' Love
Alright Soldiers, its time to put on your gear, and prepare for battle. How do we do this? By becoming equipped with God's Word, by knowing our weapon, by studying it and discussing it with others.
So come get involved and share your faith with others.

All this and more can be found at the Prayer Fighters Group on myspace. You have an oppinion, and it needs to be heard. This is how we grow togethr in Christ. This is part of how we overcome the evil one.
"Be confident in this: He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it in you." (Philippians 1:6)
Do you have a vision of victory for your life? Do you know that God desires to do great and mighty things in your life? But in order to fulfill God's plan, you must first see yourself the way God sees you–growing and prosperous in every area.
Where you are in life today is a direct reflection of your past thoughts about yourself. You are not able to rise above your own self-image. But no matter what your current situation, you can change your self-image by meditating on God's Word and spending time with Him.
Begin today to see yourself the way God sees you. He sees you as an overcomer, more than a conqueror, and a champion in life. He sees you as the head, and not the tail. He sees you above, and not beneath. He sees you growing and excelling, and living a life of victory!
As you begin to change your self image and see yourself living the life God has for you, you will experience His fulfillment, peace, and power.
A Prayer for Today
God, I was made in Your image and that means I am a conqueror and can do all things! Thank you for Your confidence in me. I am going to stay focused on Your loving plan for my life.
"You are my refuge and my shield; I have put my hope in your word." (Psalm 119:114)
No matter how much faith we have or how good we try to be, we all face disappointments in life. Maybe you didn't get that promotion you were hoping for, or you weren't able to close that big deal you had been working so hard on. Maybe it was something more serious like a chronic illness or the death of a loved one. Whatever the situation may be, we are all going to suffer some setbacks. It is a part of life.
The key to overcoming these disappointments is to let go of the past. Let go of past mistakes and failures, past hurts and pains, past shortcomings and sins. Until you are willing to let go of the past, you will never experience the brilliant future God has in store for you.
You are in charge of your own destiny. The choices you make, the thoughts you dwell on, all impact your future. Let me encourage you to stop mourning over your losses. If you have made mistakes, and we all have, then be willing to forgive yourself. Receive God's gift of mercy. If you live every day with hope, faith, and expectancy, God will turn your disappointments into victory and give you beauty for ashes and joy for mourning. When you put your trust in Him, you will discover that your brightest days are just over the horizon and you can begin living your best life now!
A Prayer for Today
God, I refuse to be trapped in the past. I release, this day, the pain I have been holding on to. I trust You, O Lord. Your Son died so that I might be washed clean. I will live with my eyes set on You, not the pain in my past.

"The prayer of the righteous is powerful and effective." (James 5:16)
All throughout the Bible, you can see just how powerful and life-changing prayer is. The best news about prayer is that the same power you read about in the Bible is available to you right here, right now! God intended prayer to change lives. And whenever God Himself is involved in the situation, you know things are important! Through your prayers, you can tap into God's incredible, inexhaustible power in your life, and you can also be a great encouragement and blessing to those who need prayer around you. James says that prayer can heal and restore people. Make a choice today and every day to be a powerful and effective prayer warrior for God!
