A Prayer for Teachers about Spiritual Warfare

-
A Prayer about Spiritual Warfare for Teachers Dear Daddy, I want to say a prayer for my teacher friends. You know that we have a hard time during the school year. We get more sleepy easier, worry more, forget things a lot more, we shorten time for important things because we are busy all the time. Please keep the teachers from Spiritual apathy during the school year. Keep them in Your Hands and don't let them go. Help them stand firm in You. Watch over them and comfort them. Hold them tight. Let them recognize the source when they are down and fill them back up with what is right, true, and noble. Let the Fruits of the Spirit just overflow from them. Please keep the teachers from physical fatigue during the school year. Keep them going with the energy that they need throughout the day. Let them rest on the weekends espically on Sunday which is the day of rest. Help them prioritize restfulness as a spiritual discipline along with prayer,serving, and other thin...

Rooted in Christ

Ephesians 1:1-14 These are spiritual blessings from God: I'm chosen I'm made blameless.  I'm adopted. I'm redeemed (saved) from the darkness, the laws, and sins. I'm forgiven.  I'm at peace with God and others. I'm sealed with the Love of God. WHY? Am I sealed with the Love of God: Ephesians, Chapter 1: It’s according to his love. (1:4) Because he is rich in grace. (1:7) It’s his his eternal purpose. (1:5, 8, 11) So that his glory will be praised. (1:14) Chapter 2 He is Rich in Mercy (2:4) Because of his great love (2:4) Because of immeasurable grace and kindness (2:5) It’s a gift (2:8) So that we would walk in good works (2:10)

1 Cor. 9:19-27 WWJD? Grew up during that time. In the 1990s. Nowadays you wouldn't be caught with that today.   Col. 3:1-10 Verse 5-kill the sinful things in you because you are in God's glory. Verse 10-live like Christ Live like God-put on Godly things like love because it puts everything together Have to live like: -mercy -kindness -patience -forgive -it's okay to mess up Saved for a purpose-Show God's light in the dark world.

How to Simplify Your Life This Year Amber    January 05, 2024 You might say it every year, or this may be the first year you’ve realized things are getting out of hand. A busy schedule and cluttered life are getting in the way, and it’s time to do something about it. If you’re feeling weighed down, dump some of your stress. This year, make it your goal to scale back. Replace your hectic agenda and worries with simplicity. But how do you even begin? Simplicity Is Stepping Back When things start to pile up and you’re feeling stressed, what do you do? Do you work all hours of the night to catch up, frosting 50 cupcakes for the school bake sale while also writing thank you notes for the gifts you got last month? Getting things off your list can feel good in the end—but if you’re working so hard to get it done, is that little check mark worth it? If your mind is on a dozen other things, how can you truly devote time to living His Word? We must focus on the things that matter, rathe...

The Word "Simplify"

-
         I got this from the DaySpring website when I took one of their quizzes: Your word of the year is simplify! But what does that mean for your 2024 and beyond? Keep reading to hear just what the Bible says about simplifying and slowing down in your life daily and more. In a world that often seems to move at an unrelenting pace, the call to simplify and slow down is a counter-cultural and profoundly spiritual invitation. As believers in God, the wisdom found in Scripture provides a guiding light for those seeking a more intentional and peaceful way of living in 2024. Let's explore what it means to embrace simplicity and a slower pace, anchored in the timeless truths of the Bible. Embracing God's Rest: Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28, NIV) In a culture of constant busyness, God invites us to find rest in Him. Simplifying our lives and slowing down allows us to respond to this divine invitation, acknowl...
