Morning Scripture
“My brethren, take the prophets, who spoke in the name of the Lord, as an example of suffering and patience. Indeed we count them blessed who endure. You have heard of the perseverance of Job and seen the end intended by the Lord—that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful.”
James 5:10-11 NKJV
https://bible.com/bible/114/jas.5.10-11.NKJV
“For examples of patience in suffering, dear brothers and sisters, look at the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. We give great honor to those who endure under suffering. For instance, you know about Job, a man of great endurance. You can see how the Lord was kind to him at the end, for the Lord is full of tenderness and mercy.”
James 5:10-11 NLT
https://bible.com/bible/116/jas.5.10-11.NLT
Morning Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for all things. Father, thank you for examples of patience - past and present. Father, sometimes we focus on the trial or the suffering. But thank you for reminding us to focus on the breakthrough and the deliverance. Father, thank you for shining a light on our trial so that we can see that You can and will bring us through. All we must do is wait diligently on you. In Jesus’ name we pray and celebrate victory - before, during and after. Amen. Amen. Amen.
PS. To wait diligently means to be in prayer about it, to be listening to God about it, and to be working in faith towards it in His name. He will carry you through! GLORY

Morning Scripture
“But above all, my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath. But let your “Yes” be “Yes,” and your “No,” “No,” lest you fall into judgment.” James 5:12 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/jas.5.12.NKJV “But most of all, my brothers and sisters, never take an oath, by heaven or earth or anything else. Just say a simple yes or no, so that you will not sin and be condemned.” James 5:12 NLT https://bible.com/bible/116/jas.5.12.NLT |
Morning Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for all things. Father, thank you for lessons of honesty and trust. Thank you for teaching us to be honest and trustworthy - to mean what we say - so that others can believe in who we are. But most importantly, Father, we want to be honest and trustworthy with you. We want you to be able to trust us with your gifts and to believe in us. Lord, we want others to see your goodness so that they seek you. In Jesus’ name we pray and praise. Amen Please forgive if the prayer rambles. (Ok it does that’s why I brought it up. LOL). But after I saw these words in the commentary - “…you will become known as a trustworthy person” my brain began to scream! God wants to trust us with his gifts. We want to be honest and not half-try and not omit God from our decisions and our lives. We should want to be steadfast with His gifts so that we become known as trustworthy to God. I may still be rambling; but I got a “ pop-pop” this morning as I was reminded to be faithful and honest with God’s gifts. He wants to trust me. (Stomp your feet and shout). Amen. |

Morning Scripture
“Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms. Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.” James 5:13-15 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/jas.5.13-15.NKJV “Are any of you suffering hardships? You should pray. Are any of you happy? You should sing praises. Are any of you sick? You should call for the elders of the church to come and pray over you, anointing you with oil in the name of the Lord. Such a prayer offered in faith will heal the sick, and the Lord will make you well. And if you have committed any sins, you will be forgiven.” James 5:13-15 NLT https://bible.com/bible/116/jas.5.13-15.NLT |
Morning Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for all things. Father, teach us to pray. Teach us to bring our sickness, or shame, and our suffering to you. Remind us that when we pray and give our struggle to you we can rejoice. Father, thank you for reminding us that when we pray in faith you will hear our prayers. Father, we need you and we lift our voices in praise because we know that you hear us and you will save us. In Jesus’ name we pray and praise. Amen. I think I stumbled a little here, because when we pray we expect the answer to be what we say; but God answers based on what we need as we walk this journey so that His Kingdom promises for our lives can be fulfilled. |

Morning Scripture
“Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.” James 5:16-18 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/jas.5.16-18.NKJV “Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results. Elijah was as human as we are, and yet when he prayed earnestly that no rain would fall, none fell for three and a half years! Then, when he prayed again, the sky sent down rain and the earth began to yield its crops.” James 5:16-18 NLT https://bible.com/bible/116/jas.5.16-18.NLT |
Morning Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for all things. Thank you, Lord, for teaching us to go to each other to resolve our differences. Teach us to pray sincerely for each other and for the desires of our hearts. Lord, we pray today that you bless our friends and our families during this holiday season. We pray for health and wellness, fun and fellowship, safety in our travels, and ______________. We love you, Lord, and we thank you always for these thy gifts. In Jesus' name we pray and are thankful. Amen PS. I like the last part of the scripture… the heaven gave rain and the earth produced fruit…. When God rains blessings on us, what fruit are we producing? |

Morning Scripture
“Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back, let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins.” James 5:19-20 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/jas.5.19-20.NKJV “My dear brothers and sisters, if someone among you wanders away from the truth and is brought back, you can be sure that whoever brings the sinner back from wandering will save that person from death and bring about the forgiveness of many sins.” James 5:19-20 NLT https://bible.com/bible/116/jas.5.19-20.NLT |

Heavenly Father, thank you for all things. Thank you for reminding us that we are our brother's keeper.

Lord, we thank you for our brothers, for our earthly connections. Guide us to honor these relationships so that they are a reflection of your relationship with us. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen. |
