We do not know what to do, but we are looking to you for help.” 2 Chronicles 20:12 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
Oh Boy, how many times has this been my experience.
When a teenager, I thought I was going to go insane. All the relatives wanted me to do different things with my life. Being a people pleaser was impossible but it was given a hard try. All was met with failure and huge guilt on my behalf because of everyone calling me a failure.
Thankfully the Lord guided me to a city far from them and slowly taught me to please Him rather than folks.
Whenever there was a fork in the road to Heaven with no knowledge of which to take there was only one smart thing to do; get on my knees and pray. By Jehovahs blessings The Holy Spirit always guided me to the proper road to take. Slowly over the decades He guided me more and more. Through this I became more and more sensitive to His voice. He has never led me wrong.
The Holy Spirit is the answer man to all of lives problems. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer : Thank you Jehovah for sending me The Holy Spirit Kal El (voice of God) Isaiah 30:21 ) to speak with me and guide me in every aspect of my life to give glory to You and bless me with a fulfilling life. I laud You in the name of the greatest Sheppard, Jesus Christ. Amen
May you be blessed with ears that are attentive to The Holy Spirits voice and feet to follow the path He guides for you to travel on your journey to Heaven Joseph a son of Jehovah

If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. James 1: 5 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
When I was a teacher, my children felt comfortable asking me any question that intrigued them. Many times they were astounded that I quite freely informed them that I do not know the answer.
It is funny how many folks are too proud to admit that and try to fake their way through it. They only look stupider and stupider.
Later I would pray and The Holy Spirit would always shed light on the answer. When the answer was given in the next class and the children would ask how I got the answer, I gladly shared with them the not so secret to the answer to all of life’s questions, His name is The Holy Spirit. And, when you respectfully ask Jehovah, He will gladly send the answer man ( well okay, He is not a man but it sounds nice lol ).
“[Christians], at their best, know that often they don’t know. They do not have all the answers. They do not have God in their pocket. We cannot answer every question that any bright boy in the back row might ask. We have only light enough to walk by.” Howard A. Johnson
Prayer: Thank you Holy Spirit ‘Ori (the Lord is my Light Psalm 27:1 ) that when I am asked a question I do not know the answer to I do the wise thing and respectfully ask You for Your wise insight. Thank you that Your brilliant light of knowledge shines the proper answer for me to reply with. May this be a light to guide the lost unto my Beloved Father in Heaven. I humbly request this in the name of the Light of the World, Jesus Christ. Amen
Many you be blessed with the gift of the answer man to answer all of your lifes questions. Joseph a son of Jehovah

I never blame anyone in my life. Good people bless me with happiness. Bad people bless me with experience. Worst people bless me with a lesson. And best people bless me with memories.
F-E-A-R has two meanings: ‘Forget Everything And Run’ or ‘Face Everything And Rise.’ The one will enslave you while the other matures you. The choice is yours.
There are always people in my life who treat me wrong. I am grateful to them because they drive me into Jesus’ loving arms and we grow ever closer because of the abusers.
Our most painful experiences blesses us with the most important lessons in life. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Failure is my teacher, not my accuser. I have matured more and learned more in failures than in successes. That is why I am grateful for my failures. Many times failure is a detour, not a dead-end street.
The problem with pity parties is very few people come, and those who do don’t bring presents. It is time to put on the big girl or big boy panties and grow up.
The more I am grateful for what I have, the more I will have to be grateful for.
When I am sincere, praise is effective. When I am insincere, it is manipulative.
The most important persuasion tool I have in my entire arsenal is The Holy Spirit’s guidance and my obedience. Unless I have a heart that is willing and obedient unto The Holy Spirit, I will never realize the maximum potential that lies within me.
The greatest of all mistakes is to not trust and obey The Holy Spirit because I think I can only do a little. He knows my capability better than I do.
I remember that failure is an event, not a person.
Everybody says they want to be free. There is no freedom. You are either a slave to a devil or an obedient child of Jehovah. One curses with constant misery while the other blesses with Divine love. The Holy Spirit is the most influential person I will talk to all day.
People often say motivation doesn’t last. Neither does bathing. That is why it is recommended I go to the best motivator every day. His name is Jesus.
The foundation stones for a successful, meaningful life is prayer, Bible reading, having good Christian mentors and obedience unto The Holy Spirits guidance.
May the Holy Spirit guide you to a successful, meaningful life all the way to Heavens Gate. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Since he himself has gone through suffering and testing, he is able to help us when we are being tested. Hebrews 2:18 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
Many folks feel it is senseless to come to Christ with our worries, hurts and problems because He is the big god in Heaven and does not care about mere mortals.
Yes He does.
There is not one crisis that you encounter that Christ has not been through.
He experienced the death of a good friend, was betrayed by another. He experienced homelessness and hunger. He was rejected by loved ones and was hated by the politically correct, even though He was trying to help them. He helped so many yet so few thanked Him. Even then, it was outsiders that thanked Him and not those in His national family ( the Jews ) . And of course, let us not forget the temptation in the wilderness when He was weak, hungry and exhausted.
No matter the situation, Jesus has been there, Jesus cares and when you depend upon Him, He will guide you through them all. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: It is with the greatest gratitude that I thank you Jesus Immanuel (God is with us John 15:1-27 ) that You have suffered like we do and so much more. Because of this, who better to run to when lifes tragedies come crashing down upon us.
Thank You.
Thank you for always being there.
Thank you for Your gentle, soft reassurance during these difficult times.
Thank you for Your encouragement, strength and guidance in resolving these catastrophes.
It is in Your magnificent loving name I exalt You. Amen May you always run to the loving arms of Christ when calamity comes a crashing through your door. Joseph a son of Jehovah T

Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth 1 Timothy 6:6 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
Godliness is conforming ones life to Jehovahs will.
Contentment is being satisfied and grateful for what you have.
Therefore, what is being said here is that spiritual wealth that can only come from Jehovah is the greatest wealth of all.
Abundance, or prosperity, is having all that you need to meet any circumstance, with enough left over to give wherever God might direct you.
The Lord will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right. Psalms 84:11
When we walk in harmony with the Holy Spirits guidance our gracious Heavenly Father supplies all of our daily needs. Thus, trusting Jehovah at His word that He will meet all of our needs ( not wants) we will not suffer the stress that the world is experiencing at this troublesome time.
If I want the Masters rewards I must be willing to obey His direction in my life. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Jireh ( God provides Philippians 4:19 ) for Your abundant grace that is showered upon me every day as I walk in obedience unto The Holy Spirits guidance.
I applaud You in the name of the greatest spiritual gift You have blessed me with, Jesus Christ. Amen.
May your heart be open and obedient unto The Holy Spirits guidance this day so your day will be filled with contentment.Joseph a son of Jehovah

This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin. So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most. Hebrews 4:15-16 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
Prayer: Thank you kindly Jehovah Chatsahi (The Lord is my Strength Psalm 27:1 ) for walking amongst us so You understand the trials and temptations, the tribulations and sorrows we experience in our daily life.
As such, when I come to You seeking help You bless ME with: strength where I am weak and the opportunity to use this strength to help others. The mercy to forgive me when I succumb to my weakness and repent of them.
May I extend that to those who repent when they have wronged me. The gentleness of a loving friend to teach others how to be members of Jehovahs holy family when they are uneducated in the proper etiquette befitting such a noble family.
May I guide others to behave in such a regal manner.
I humbly implore You to grant this petition this in Your gracious name. Amen.
May you be blessed with copious amounts of tutoring at the Masters feet to enable you to be a grand example of a noble family and plenty of opportunities to use them.

“Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love.” Ephesians 4:2The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
Humble means that you do not place yourself above nor below anybody. You are confident in who you are. As Christians we know we are Jehovahs children, Jesus Christs servants and The Holy Spirits students. As such we do not need to be people pleasers nor to be abusive to others.
Gentle means to be considerate, tenderhearted, and compassionate. This means we are to be considerate (which also means respectful ) to others.
Tenderhearted means we are to be encouraging to others going through rough times. Compassion means we are to help others where there is a need.
Tenderhearted is mental while compassionate is taking physical action.
Patient means we are slow to lose our temper when others are slow to catch on or when they are just slow ( read in traffic or in check out lines ).
We need to judge others by the same degree in which we desire to be judged.
No, that does not mean we are not to judge others but that we all have trait that are annoying, like smacking lips loudly while eating. That is what making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love means.
These are impossible without the aid of the Holy Spirits power in us.
Prayer: I beseech Thee Jehovah ELOHIM YAKOL (God, the Most Able 2 Corinthians 9:8 ) bless me to emulate my idol Jesus Christ in all of my interactions this day.
I beseech Thee my love to bless me with discernment to know when I am being abused and take the proper course of action to stop it while behaving in a Christ like manner.
Por favor my Love bless me with the Holy Spirits guidance, strength and respect towards all that come my way this day. In the name of His with whom I so deeply desire to emulate in every aspect of my life I humbly request this, Jesus Christ. Amen
May you be blessed with The Holy Spirits guidance, power and love in all of your interactions this day. Joseph a son of Jehovah.

So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise. Ephesians 5:15 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
Now, how are we to gain wisdom?
Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Proverbs 3:5 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
In every aspect of life, and yes I do mean every aspect the first and most important thing you are to do is to take it to Jehovah and then wait for His advice before doing anything.
Doing this in my life was difficult, yet, it prevented a lot of heartache, pain and suffering in being obedient.
As well, it brought a lot of success in my journey along the road Christ has chosen for me to travel to our Heavenly Home.
There are so many unqualified voices out there that do not know what they are talking about. Yet, there are masses of fools following them like lemmings going over a cliff. No wonder the world is as mixed up as it is. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Emunah (God is faithful 1 John 1:9, 2 Thessalonians 3:3 ) for always being faithful towards this adoring child of Yours with Your wisdom in every nick and corner of my life. It has prevented a lot of needless suffering, heartache and frustration. It has helped me to live a righteous life which is pleasing to You and rewarding for me. I thank you in the name of the wisest of all, Jesus Christ. Amen
May you be blessed with the gift of love, the gift of peace, the gift of joy. May you be blessed with numerous opportunities to share these gifts with others today. Joseph a son of Jehovah

What is right and good looks down from heaven. Psalm 85:11 The Holy Bible, The New Life Version
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah ‘Ori (the Lord is my Light Psalm 27:1 ) for illuminating Your Divine truth to me.
May this truth guide me in every aspect of this life.
This is done not only for my own good but as a dedication of love to You whom is so admirable.
Please continue to shine Your light so as to continue to mature me on the path to Heaven that Your shining light guides me to.
I joyfully praise You and request this in the name of He who is the light of the world, Jesus Christ. Amen
Believers need an infallible moral compass to ensure they do not get conned by popular opinion. That compass is called the Bible. Joseph a son of Jehovah

We can trust God that He will do what He promised. Hebrews 10:23 The Holy Bible, The New Life Version
When Jehovah has spoken to You and has given you a promise, it is written it stone. It will happen and continue to happen as long as He has promised.
He made a promise to me many decades ago that He will never leave me nor desert me. There have been oh so numerous times when I felt as if He had deserted me but reflecting back I can now see His hand at the time working in unseen ways doing what was good for me – even if it certainly did not feel it at times.
Jehovahs word it true. Always hold it close to your mind and to your heart. Write His promise down not only on a piece of paper to keep with you when times are challenging but also most important on your heart Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Emet (God of truth Titus 1:2 ) that my life is based upon Your foundation of unquestionable truth. It guides me, comforts me, strengthens me and heals me as nothing else in existence can. I praise You in the name of the true Judge of the Supreme Court of Heaven Jesus Christ. Amen
Wishing you a house full of sunshine, hearts full of cheer and love that grows deeper each day of the year. Welsh blessing
