As we start each day, let us be ever mindful of the needs of others, thru prayer, as well as us and our families.

Matthew 7:7 (KJV)  “Ask, and it shall be given to you; see, and ye shall find, knock, and it shall be opened unto you.”

Luke 11:9-10 (KJV) “And I say unto you, Asl, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. “For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to hime that knocketh it  shall be opened.”

ADDICTION  (No names required)

Watching someone you love in the throes of an addiction can be devastating.  It doesn’t just affect that person, it affects everyone. It affects how we come together as family, it affects our co-workers and it affects our children.  We are all on this painful journey with them.  But we are not by standers.  The Bible says in Philippians 4:6, “Don’t’worry about anything; instead pray about everything.  Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.”

If you are feeling pain and anguish because someone you love is struggling with an addiction, whether it is alcohol, drugs, pornography or something else, you don’t have to stand by and watch your loved one suffer.  Your are not powerless in this situation, because God wants you to come to him with the struggles that cause you pain.  Here are three Bible verses you can pray for all those battling an addiction.

Pray for the brokenness and emptiness.  

Psalm 147:3 (KJV) “He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wonds.”

Pray for freedom and deliverance.

John 8:36 (KJV) “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.”

Pray for restoration.

2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV)  “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”

 

LOST SOULS, PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW JESUS

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life”

Matthew 25: 31-46 (please read)

1 Thessalonians 4:13-14: Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. 14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.

The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; 43 it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; 44 it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.

Isaiah 57:1-2:  The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; the devout are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil. 2 Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest as they lie in death.

2 Corinthians 4:17-18:  For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Revelation 21:4 : He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.
