Ephesians 2:4 - 10 (NKJV)
But God who is rich in mercy because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is a gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
Ephesians 3:17 - 19 (NKJV)
That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height - to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Abba Father may we overflow with the fullness, may Your great love spill forth continually from us, may the love of Jesus in us be both contagious and infectious drawing all we contact to Your Grace and Salvation; it is in the name of Lord and our Savior Christ Jesus that we pray. Amen.

1 Peter 1:3 - 9 (NKJV)
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, receiving in the end of your faith - the salvation of your souls.
James 1:2 - 4 (NKJV)
My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
Abba Father we do count it all joy that we have Your eternal promise represented in Your Son Jesus Christ whom we dearly love; it is in the name of our Lord and our Savior Christ Jesus that we pray. Amen.

God Himself will be with them and be their God.Abba Father Thank You for Your Son Jesus who brings us together, who makes us family, who gives us a future filled with hope and Your Promise; it is in the name of our Lord and our Savior Christ Jesus that we pray. Amen.July 8, 2013John 14:12 - 14 (NKJV)" Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also, and greater works than these he will do because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it."Mark 11:22 - 24 (NKJV)So Jesus answered and said to them, "Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them."John 15:7 & 8 (NKJV)"If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples."Abba Father the scriptures above convey two important thoughts, (1) how much it pleases You to be able to bless us with the desires of our hearts and (2) how important it is for us to pray in confidence as we pray in accordance with Your written and spoken Word; it is in the name of our Lord, our Savior, and our Provider Christ Jesus, the Remedy to every issue of life, that we pray. Amen.
