God who Supplies Your Needs

Despite adverse circumstances,
Philippians is an encouraging
letter in the midst of persecution.
Paul rejoices especially the church’s
steadfast testimony for the gospel.
Though that testimony is threatened
by divisions in the church, Paul is
confident unity will be restored as
they imitate the humility of Christ.
And Apostle Paul urges contentment
for God Will Supply all our needs.

Lord, You Will Provide Our Needs:
Be anxious for nothing but in every
-thing by prayer and supplication
with thanksgiving let your requests
be made known to God; and the
peace of God which surpasses
all understanding will guard your
hearts and minds (Phil 4:6-7).
I have learned the secret of being
Content in any and every situation,
whether well fed or hungry,
whether living in plenty or in want.
I can do all this through Him who
Gives me Strength (Phil 4:12-13).
This same God who takes
care of me Will Supply all your
Needs from his glorious riches,
which have been given to us
in Christ Jesus (Phil 4:19). Amen.

Lord, here is my worry and here
is my need. I give them to You,
and ask You to calm my anxious
heart and quiet my racing thoughts.
Help me refuse to think of what-ifs
thoughts; but Center them on Christ
Jesus, His power and sufficiency.
Because I belong to You Lord, I know
that Your peace will guard my heart
and mind. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Lord, Thank You that You are
the God who provides my needs.
Grant me the grace to live joyfully
whether I have much or little.
And grant me Lord the grace to
Be Content in all circumstances.
Thank You for promising that
You will give me the strength
I need to do Your will. Amen.

Lord, Thank You for the promise
to Supply all our needs. That
wonderful guarantee & assurance
enables us to feel secure and
contented in our journey thru life.
For we don’t have to struggle
on our own for the Creator of the
universe covers us. And we are
given access to You because of
what Christ did on the cross. Amen

God Is Able & Will Keep Us

Alarmed by the presence of
false trenching, Jude (who was
the brother of James) exhorts
believers to stand firm for the truth.
He ends his short epistle with
a series of urgent commands:
Remember Christ’s words,
remain in God’s love and seek
to remove erring brothers from
the fiery danger of their ways.

Father, U are Able & Will Keep Us:
Beloved, build yourselves up on
your most holy faith and pray in
the Holy Spirit. Keep yourselves
in God’s love… Be merciful to
those who doubt, snatch others
from the fire and save them…
All glory to God, who Is Able
to Keep You from stumbling,
and who will bring you into His
glorious presence innocent of sin
and with great joy. All glory to Him,
who alone is God our Saviour,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Yes, glory, majesty, power
and authority belong to Him,
in the beginning, now, and
forevermore (Jude 20-25). Amen.

Father, as I can be tempted towards
despair, grant me steadfastness
and assurance to persevere in faith.
As sometimes I have felt bitterness
towards situations and people,
increase my understanding & love.
Grant me Lord also the concern
and compassion for those in need.
And at times when I’m fainthearted,
increase my hope and grant me
the solid assurance of the future
to rise above fear. In Jesus’ name.

Father, You are powerful & loving;
and You can keep us from stumbling.
You’re the God who not only saves us
but also never leaves or forsakes us.
You will lead us step by step until
You bring us into Your presence.
And You’re Able to bring good out of
evil & keep everything that we have
committed until the day we see You.
For You Lord are the God whose
promises we can count on. Amen.

Father, Thank You for the great gift
of salvation thru Christ our Lord.
Glory to You the one who is able to
keep me from stumbling and bring
me into Your glorious presence
blameless and with great joy!
Help me Lord to depend on Your
keeping power and strength as
You work within me to please You.
All glory, majesty, power and
authority belong to You from
beginning, now & forever. Amen.
