Prayer Thoughts for the Heart


We should not dwell on the past or fear what might happen in the future. God is still on the throne and knows what is happening everywhere, even with each one of us. Nothing surprises God as he knows the beginning from the end.

It is better if we concentrate on today. Decide what is most important to you. But do learn from the past by squeezing out anything of value that you should remember and then put it behind you.

Try to love and serve others more and spend your time wisely. Be good to yourself and continue to build your life on a Foundation of Truth. Jesus Christ is Truth and we need to speak Truth today and every day.

The Foundation of Truth we have in our heart will come out of our mouth and it will determine our actions as well as guide our conservations. What we speak lets others see what is in our heart. Let your walk and your talk be pleasing to God and most likely it will be pleasing to others. This will depend on giving time to abiding in God’s Truth.

To abide means to dwell continually in it, not just occasionally. Saturate your mind and heart with God’s Truth. Truth is Truth, not what I decide it will be but what Scripture says Truth is.

Love, Trust, and Truth are the important building blocks for our Foundation for our Christ Driven Life. The blocks must be from the Truth, the real Truth, the only Truth, and God’s Truth – The Holy Bible.

“Jesus answered, I am the way and the truth and the life” (John 14:6).

“I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth” (Third John 1:3).




God asks a lot of questions in scripture, and He does this in order to stir up our conscience. To stir-up something means to get a reaction or cause an emotion that will bring us out of a state of inactivity or indifference.

King Solomon asks a lot of questions in the Book of Ecclesiastes. He was the richest man who has ever lived, but found that THINGS don’t satisfy. He wrote this book when he was in a backslidden condition and was questioning everything under the SUN. In other words, he was far from God but God was where He has always been, just a prayer away.

At the end of the book, he realized that only the fear of God, keeping His commandments, and preparing for eternity future had any true and lasting meaning.

“Here is my final conclusion: fear God and obey His commandments, for this is the entire duty of man. For God will judge us for everything we do, including every hidden thing, good or bad”
(Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 LB).




Few things will last forever. But, praise the Lord, our soul will last forever. A Believer in Jesus Christ will live until death, and then live forever in heaven. Scripture says that absent from the body, present with the Lord.

Forever is a long, long, long time, but God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are from eternity past, and are now in the present, and will go on into eternity future. Their plans for the universe and His people will stand firm forever.

Everything about God will be the same forever. He doesn’t change, not even a shadow of change. He is predictable. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

The Trinity (God, Jesus, & the Holy Spirit) + The Believers in Jesus Christ and does His will = Forever in Heaven.

“The world and its desire pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever” (1 John 2:17 NIV).





Isaiah prophesied the birth of Jesus Christ, about 700 years before it actually happened.
The New Testament reminds us that Jesus is the hope of the world, and will rule and reign on the earth some day.

The meaning of these two words WONDERFUL COUNSELOR, in this verse is UNIQUE, and very meaningful to every Christian. It will be an EVERLASTING KINGDOM and full of JUSTICE. MIGHTY GOD means: The all sufficient One. PRINCE OF PEACE means: In God’s Everlasting Kingdom there will be no wars or rumors of war.

Handel wrote THE MESSIAH and it is one of the most beautiful choruses in the world and it will be sung many times during the Christmas Season. He took the words from the Book of Isaiah.

“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6 NIV).




Some thoughts to ponder: Are you walking in the dark or in the light, walking by sight or by faith, walking in pride or humility, walking in your new nature or in your carnal nature?

Are you walking in praise and worship or grumbling and pleasing Satan, walking with Jesus or with the world, leaning on Jesus or winging it by yourself, taking a stand against evil or unconcerned about it?

Are you walking in the joy of the Lord or in your sadness, confessing your sins or enjoying them, keeping a calm spirit or a firecracker spirit, being in prayer each day or letting other things take all you time?

Ask God to help you walk a life that is transforming you to be more like Jesus and not one conforming you to be more like the world?

“Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will” (Romans 12:2 NIV).




JESUS: Jesus is Everything to me, because He Saved me, yet I was Unworthy. He Sanctified me (set me apart for His service), JESUS.

ETERNITY: Eternity gives me hope to Trust Every Rule of command with Nothing left out, helping me to know Immortality and Truth. My inheritance is waiting and Yours is too, ETERNITY.

GOD: God is Omniscient (all knowing) and we will want to Delight ourselves in Him and He will give us the desires of our heart, GOD.

HOLY SPIRIT: Holy Spirit lives in a Believer and is Our teacher, helping us to Learn and Yield to the Scriptures. Pleasing us in this way beyond our Imagination and Revealing It just at the right Time. HOLY SPIRIT.

LIVING: Living is God given and He Invites us to travel Very close to Him and to Invite others to follow in the Name of Jesus. And at the same time Give out His love, kindness, mercy, patience, and always a helping hand. LIVING.

WORSHIP: Worship is anything we do for Jesus, if we are Offering it with the Right attitude. Also, Spending time to give Him praises as He Inhabits the praises of His People. WORSHIP.

GOD the FATHER, JESUS the SON, and the HOLY SPIRIT makeup a completeness like no other. They have invited everyone to enjoy LIVING in their presence now and on into ETERNITY.

WORSHIP in Spirit and Truth as we put our trust in God because we walk by Faith not by Sight.
