No fear No worry No doubt

" Let nothing trouble you,
let nothing frighten you.
All things are passing;
God never changes.
Patience obtains all things.
He who possesses God lacks nothing:
God alone suffices."  (St Teresa of Avila)

Whatever you ask the Father

"On that day you will not question me about anything. Amen, amen, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you.
Until now you have not asked anything in my name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete."  (John 16: 23 - 24)

Lord for the past two weeks or so, I have heard you say through the daily Mass readings, "whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you."  I believe your promise.  One week before Pentecost, I am moved to ask you for a really very big gift.  I ask you to fill me with your Holy Spirit and His gifts.  I ask that you make me surrender completely to Him so that He will transform me into your image.  I want you to be from today the Lord of my life governing every aspect of it, viz: health, family, finances, job, property and tools, food and future.

Thank you Jesus!!

The Persistent Missionary

" One night in a vision the Lord said to Paul, “Do not be afraid. Go on speaking, and do not be silent, for I am with you. No one will attack and harm you, for I have many people in this city.”  (Acts 18: 9 - 10)

"Proclaim the word; be persistent whether it is convenient or inconvenient; convince, reprimand, encourage through all patience and teaching."  (2 Timothy 4: 2)

"Every soul with Christ is a missionary; every soul without Christ is a mission field."  (Our Daily Bread)

Every missionary of Christ should possess the same skills and  intense motivation as an insurance sales man.  In business, persistence and ability to accept No often clinches the sale. Why should it be different with the missionary salesman?  

I am with you always

"And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.”  (Matthew 28: 20)

Jesus promises to be with us always, everywhere in all circumstances.  What a great promise, O Lord my God.  Help me to believe it.  Teach me to mix this word with faith.  As I go about my affairs this day, I will try to remember and rejoice in this great word.  In challenging circumstances, I will use your precious name, JESUS to call this promise of your constant presence to  mind.  Thank you Jesus.  Amen!

Believe in the Lord Jesus

"Then he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you and your household will be saved.”  (Acts 16: 30 - 31)

What must I do to be saved from fears, worries and doubts?
“Believe in the Lord Jesus and you and your household will be saved.”   (Acts 16: 31)

What does it mean for me to believe in the Lord Jesus?  It means that just as Jesus is Lord of times and seasons, He is also Lord over my health, family, finances, job, property and tools, food and future.  It means that I believe too this oracle:  "For I know well the plans I have in mind for you—oracle of the LORD—plans for your welfare and not for woe, so as to give you a future of hope."   The plans that Jesus has for me with regard to my health, family, finances, job, property and tools, food and future are good.

I walk by faith and not by sight or circumstances.  Thank you Jesus.  I will trust you today always and everywhere.

You too will bear witness

"And you also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning."  (John 15: 27)

Let us witness for you about your:
Person, doctrines, works, all you did and all you suffered.  May we never miss any opportunity to testify to you.

Christ is our Peace

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give it to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid."  (John 14: 27)

Lord Jesus, you are the Prince of Peace.  You are our peace.  I cannot grab  peace.  I cannot work for it.  Your peace comes to me from you as a gift.  Lord, flood my life with your peace.  Let me experience your deep peace in my health, family, finances, job, property and tools, food and future.

My soul, rejoice for Christ is your peace.
No fear, No worry, No doubt.
