Dear Heavenly Father, I am thankful for all that you have provided for me. Help me not to be stressful, when I have need of certain things and I do not see how they will be supplied. My trust is in You and I know that You will never leave me nor forsake me. Lord, I am grateful for a peaceful home. Fill all who visit our home with Your peace. Let us serve those that You send to our house. Lord, I pray for marriages that are hurting because of so much stress. Show them the changes that they need to make, and give them the grace to make them. May Your peace permeate the whole body of Christ as You have intended. I ask this in Your name. Amen.

CHANGE YOUR MIND
Mark 7:21, "For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders."
MARK 7:17-23
These verses (21-23) further establish the fact that our heart includes more than just our spirit. Even Christians still struggle with things like pride and foolishness, which Jesus said comes out of our heart. It's certain that our born again spirit is not...
2 Corinthians epistle bible study
Here is a bible study on the second epistle to the Corinthians which is a follow up letter following the first letter to them and continues many of the points of the first epistle and is intended to further build up the church and grow it in Christ. While this epistle can be done as a separate bible study all on its own, I strongly suggest doing the first epistle ahead of it, to get the most out of both of them. I give you a link back to the first 8 chapters of 1 Corinthians which also has a link to its second part
In chapter 1, after the usual salutation Paul then goes on to indicate that the suffering and also...
1 Corinthians bible study chapters 9 through 16
Here is the concluding part of the bible study to 1 Corinthians, including chapters 9 through 16. These chapters in this epistle speak on various subjects such as the Lord’s Supper (communion), the gifts of the spirit, and also have the love and resurrection of the dead chapters, and various other things that are every bit as relevant to us today as they were to the Corinthian church who are the subjects of this letter. Here is a link to the first 8 chapters of the Epistle to make it easy for you to do the whole book as a bible study:
In chapter 9 Paul asks the Corinthian church if they think it is too much...
Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for being in charge of my life. I know that I am not just a lost boat drifting in a storm when I belong to You. I thank you that You are guiding me and directing me in all of my ways. Lord, when You choose me to do anything for You, please empower me and give me the grace to accomplish it. I know that my life is planned by You and that each person who comes into it, is sent by You, when I am committed to Your will. May I grow from those encounters and be a blessing to them. I ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen.
1 Corinthians bible study chapters 1 through 8
Paul wrote two epistles to the Corinthians to help build up, encourage and also correct the Christians and their church in Corinth, hoping they would become more mature and repent of any wrongdoing, putting away any evil people among them as needed. I am doing this in three studies total, the first letter in 2 parts and the second letter as a study on its own , due to their combined length. The two letters can be studied separately also but I plan on linking all three together for those who want to do a big study of both letters, which I recommend so doing.
In chapter 1 after the salutation in which Paul encourages the Corinthians to be rich in the Lord Paul corrects them for divisions and strife, telling them to focus on God, and not men, and that God can bring any worldly thing down to foolishness, and that if we are to boast in anything we are...
