O Lord, I beseech thee, let now thine ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants, who desire to fear thy name: and prosper, I pray thee, thy servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man. For I was the king’s cup bearer

The enemy shall not prevail if we keep looking towards God.

Ephesians 4: 23-27.

And be ye renewed in the spirit of your mind. And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

Wherefore putting away lying; speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

Be ye angry; and sin not: Let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

Neither give place to the devil.

What more is there to say eh?

I the Lord search the heart…

Think I sent this already, but in any case it’s still true and something we should always keep in mind

Matthew 22: 37-40.

Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul and with all thy mind.

This is the first and great commandment.

And the second is like unto it. Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

Go thy way with blessings and follow them.

Mark 11: 24-26

Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that you receive them and ye shall have them.

And when ye stand praying; forgive, if ye have ought against any, that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive you your trespasses.

Makes sense, doesn’t it.
