Lord,
Help me to be the man that you intended for me to be. Help me do what is right by my family and my friends. Help me see what is right and do what is best for the greater good of those around me.
Help me to better cope with life when things don’t necessarily go the way I may have liked them to. And lastly, help me to take better care of myself so that I can be a rock that my family can lean on. In Jesus name, Amen.

While all followers of Christ have a missionary call on their lives, that is, to take Christ to others, not all of us are called to specific people nor to specific countries in order to fulfill that missionary call.
The seemingly extreme cases where people are directed by God to move overseas in order to share the Gospel is when the term missionary is commonly employed. Let’s discuss how to pray for missionaries so that they may be able to carry out God’s Will more effectively.
While we all have a call to spread the good news of Jesus Christ on our lives, many of us can do that within our local communities. However, sometimes God has unique plans for certain people, and those whom God directs to minister in foreign countries are those we are going to be referring to as missionaries throughout this article.
In one of our previous articles, Tips for Keeping a Prayer Journal, we mentioned missionaries as one group you may want to include in your prayer list. This article is going to give you some ideas on how to actually pray for them once you include missionaries in your prayer list.
Praying for all the missionaries across the world is a great idea. However, we want our prayers to flow from a little more connection, a little more passion, than a general mentioning. This is why you should start with the missionaries name (or their family name).
Connect with a few missionaries whom you feel a similar passion with. Many missionaries have an email or post mail newsletter which will keep you informed and give you specific prayer opportunities. Dont start with fifty, start by finding one, or two, and go from there.
As a result from connecting with their ministry, you will also get to know their mission. This will give you ideas on what to pray for. A missionary to the middle east will need some different prayer than a missionary to South America. Also, a missionary to a region open to Christianity will need different prayer than someone going to a country closed to Christianity. Last of all, a media missionary will have different needs than a missionary establishing clean water supply.
While some missionaries move into hostile environments, and others not so much, it is still good practice to pray for God to protect them and their families. Not all harm comes in the form of physical assault. Praying for protection includes asking God to protect their minds, their hearts, and their emotions.
Missionaries usually give up everything they have in order to go follow Gods desire for their life. Normally, missionaries will go for months or years without seeing, sometimes without contacting, family or friends from their home. In addition to praying for financial support, prayer for friendships, relationships, opportunities, and workers to join their cause are all included in Gods provision.
A missionary will be ineffective without Gods power. Asking God to give the missionary His Holy Spirit to confirm their message with signs and wonders, wisdom and power, is essential for their task. Requesting God to supply them with the power of His Holy Spirit to overcome all obstacles, physical and spiritual, will help their ministry move forward effectively.
No this is not a fourth P. This is a suggestion on what prayer for missionaries may look like. Some people will sit with their prayer journal and go through the list they have made, praying these bullet points for missionaries. Other temperaments and personalities will not be able to do that. Here is a final suggestion on how to pray for missionaries as a family:
All in all, this is just one idea to help you with putting prayer for missionaries into practice in your personal life. There is no right or wrong way, but knowing their name, ministry, mission and going through the three Ps, protection, provision, and power will give you a solid base for effective prayer.

Here, we have a collection of 20 bible verses about women and mothers. The bible can be pretty sexist some times, but God definitely loves and honors women.
After searching through the entire Bible, we have fidentified 20 of the most relevant quotes about women that provide insight into what being a woman means and what God expects from women.
In addition, the last seven verses on this page cover passages specifically about mothers in general. Many of these Bible verses about women would be great for sermons, personal study, or use in a woman’s Bible study. The scripture about mothers could be used in mothers day cards and notes.
These Bible verses about women provide a lot of insight about why women were created and what their objective is in the life if they are attempting to follow God. It shows that women was created originally as a companion and partner with the man as his friend to walk with him as one through this life.
Though women are equal with men in the eyes of God, they are to surrender to the authority of their husbands with the objective of loving their family, mothering their children, and ministering to the needs of others.
The Scriptures above tell us that women are to beware of vanity and charm; instead they should fear God and perform good works, walking in love, purity, holiness, graciousness, modesty, and self-control.
The Bible tells us that a good wife is a blessing to the man that finds her. As mothers, women are to be gentle with their children and to teach them. And the Bible tells us that the older women are to teach the younger women to love their husbands and children.
God I ask you to please help heal my heart. I feel empty and hurt from being lied to by the ones I loved and cared for the most. I don’t know how to let go of him.or to let go of the situation.
How to make peace with what became of my life god. Please help me god. My children need a mother. I’m so lost and I just want to find myself in you. I don’t want to feel angry or vengeful towards those who didn’t care about hurting me. Please help me to understand that there is a reason for this.
Dear Lord,
I pray that you will send the Holy Spirit to my wife and that her heart will be touched by you. Please open her heart to me, her loving husband, and fill her with Your love and vision for our marriage covenant. We have blindly hurt one another.
Please show us the way to love each other again. Bring us both closer to you and each other. Restore our marriage dear Lord. Please give us the grace, patience and love needed to light our path out of this darkness together. We are so blessed. Make us one again. Unite us in your love.
In Your almighty name I pray,
Amen.

There are some wonderful Christmas Bible verses found in the Scriptures. Christmas is a special time of year in which we celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ.
We are very fortunate that God has chosen to reveal so much surrounding the birth of Jesus Christ in biblical passages. We have sifted through the large selection of available quotes and found the best 20 verses for use in anything from Christmas cards to sermons on Christmas morning. You will find passages related to the birth of Jesus and what that gift to the world actually means.
The Christmas Bible verses above clearly convey that wonderful morning when our Lord Jesus Christ came into the world as a baby, born of a virgin. It was the day when God became flesh and took his place as fully man and fully God among mankind. The biblical quotes tell us that he came to bring us salvation from our sins and deliver us from the bondage of a sinful world.
Though Christmas is about the birth of Jesus and what God has done for us, we learn from the Bible passages above that it is also just as much about giving as it is about the birth. It is a day that signifies the giving of the greatest gift ever offered in the history of the world. God sent his Son Jesus into the world for us so that we might receive eternal life and dwell with God forever.
Please God I seek forgiveness from blasphemy against you Lord. I realise that even though u know all about me I needed to confront my sin to you in order to receive forgiveness. I need your love to receive peace I am not worthy of it but I am a sinner but I know now my life is yours. I do not own my life you do.
I give you myself & all my sins and all because I want to be healed from the worst sin. I want peace and freedom from sin and anxiety and all that comes with it.
I want my heart to be joined to your heart. Give me that confidence in you Lord that I am no longer bound by sin. You have set me free. I am your sheep now. I do not own my heart you do. I do not own my body you do, I do not own my soul you do.
I love you Lord I love you Lord. Thank you Lord for giving me my life back for helping me see the light and to feel you making a breakthrough in my troubled heart. You have made me whole again. I shall not fear any longer you have destroyed the fear but not let it destroy me.
I give you my all. I owned up to my sin confronted it and I ask boldly for your loving heart of goodness to come to me from the cross and heal me totally and forgive me. May I feel and know a difference in me. May others see you in me. May I shine Gods love through my eyes. May what blessings I have received be shared out to others I meet. Only you can heal my troubles Lord. May I know you care.
May I feel your spirit in me. My sins have been washed away the missing piece of the puzzle had been put back to complete me. I believe in you. I have faith. I am stronger now because u have stamped out my demons and saved me from death. I no longer have fear but Gods freedom.
His love and forgiveness had empowered me over my destruction. God is good He loves me. I felt I was no better than a stone on the dusty wayside. But I am repentant of my sins and God had made me feel of His worth. I feel protected & loved. His sacred heart is full of compassion and love.
By His death & resurrection He had set me free. The power of the Holy Spirit is upon me a sinner a blasphemer a rotten corpse. Lowly and worthless I felt there was no hope for me. But through prayer through His sacred heart there came forgiveness. Thank you praise The Lord . Amen
Gracious Lord, I am here on my knees begging you to bring peace into my home. I ask that you send your angels down to protect us and keep us safe. Lord, allow us to trust one another and allow us to be vulnerable with one another. Allow us the right words to speak and true feelings to share.
I am patiently waiting for you to grant me this request. Help us to love you more, love one another under you and love our children with all our hearts. Please cast away all negativity so that we can love one another as you love us. Guide us and teach us how to love as you love. In your son Jesus’ name I pray. Amen

How do we know if God does answer the prayers of non-believers? This can be a loaded question.
It is also something that can be easily misunderstood. Therefore, before we attempt to answer this
question, we must understand the exact question we are trying to answer.
Two terms in this question can be understood in different ways. The variations of meaning in these
two terms can lead to different answers to this question. So, lets clarify what we mean when we are
using these words:
miracle. This request is born out of pure motives, an inquisitive heart, and a searching
mind.
existence.
atheist or an agnostic.
that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes, resulting in
righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses, resulting in salvation.
Romans 10:9-10 LEB
One says, We know God answers the prayer for salvation of non-believers, otherwise there would
be no Christians in the world. If God did not answer the prayer of those non-believers, then no one
would be able to have their sins forgiven. This idea says salvation is dependent upon a prayer before
becoming a believer.
Another says, Once a person believes in Jesus; He grants them eternal life. As soon as someone
honestly believes Jesus came back to life that person secures salvation. This idea implies belief comes
first and is the only requisite to salvation.
There is not a separation between these two actions of belief and prayer, but a combination
which occurs. Once a person believes, they pray or confess that Jesus is God. If they are asking God for
forgiveness of sin, then they already believe he is able and willing to forgive. The idea is that these two
realities are working in tandem with each other, not that one must happen before the other.
Our question is this: Does God respond to the requests of those who are not currently his devoted
followers?
does his will, he listens to this one.
John 9:31 LEB
This passage was spoken by a man who knew the Scriptures of the Old Testament. This man had
been born blind. Jesus healed this man; He gave him his sight back. This is a statement showing his
understanding of the Scriptures to prove that Jesus was who He claimed to be.
This was not a statement meant to be taken as proof that God does not listen to the requests of
those not currently devoted to him. However, this mans understanding may have arrived through this
verse and others similar found throughout the Psalms:
cry for help. The face of Yahweh is against evildoers
Psalm 34:14-15 LEB
Ultimately, there is substantial evidence that God does not respond to the requests of those not
devoted to his will. He has made it clear in his Word that He is under no obligation to answer the prayers
of non-believers.
On the flip side, God has also made it clear that he is under no obligation to answer the many
prayers of believers either. Just because someone is a devoted follower of Christ, does not mean God
will concede to their every request.
Talking to the church at large, James writes this concerning their personal requests:
not from this, from your pleasures that wage war among your members? You desire and do not have;
you murder and are filled with envy, and are not able to obtain: you fight and quarrel. You do not have
because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, in order
that you may spend it on your pleasures.
James 4:1-3 LEB
God answers prayer when it is according to His will. Anyone, a devoted follower of Christ, a casual
acquaintance with Christ, or a stranger to God and his will, all can rest assured that God indeed hears
their requests. However, God reserves the right to sit in judgment on that request. He weighs the true
motives; He determines the purpose for the prayer, and He sees the outcome from the beginning. This is
an awesome thing about our sovereign Lord; He controls the universe. He can choose what He answers,
what He denies, and what He leaves on the table for later.
Yes, sometimes God does answer the prayer of unbelievers. Sometimes he also denies the prayers
of believers. The important question to ask is this: Is the prayer within the will of God?

For those of us looking to practice the virtues of following God, Bible verses about patience are valuable reading material to inspire our soul.
They let us know the true value of patience and its primary source. But what if we’re an impatient person, can God help us?
Can all of us change and be patient?
By examining all the passages we have gathered from the biblical text, you will find the answers to these questions. These Scriptures on patience are also great for use in a sermon or for sending a personal thank you message to a friend for being patient with you.
These Bible verses about patience tell us that God is patient, providing us with examples such as the waiting of God in the days of Noah and his delay in ending the world (patience in giving people an extended opportunity to repent and be saved).
Patience is one of the traits of love and it is also a fruit of the Holy Spirit. In addition, these scriptures about patience tell us we are supposed to teach in patience and be patient with everyone around us.
We are to live a Christian life of patience and bear fruit in patience, patiently waiting for the promises of eternal life.
I sometimes have difficulty being patient (especially when driving), and have found that the closer I draw to God the more I seem to find that patience that is so necessary in the life of a Christian.
It is also by allowing the Holy Spirit to work through our inner being that we can begin to display more patience.
While reviewing these Bible verses about anger, we are reminded of how God wants us to exhibit self-control and not let anger interfere with our life as a Christian.
Most of us get angry from time to time no matter how hard we try to maintain an inner calm.
It happens.
But how do we deal with anger? How do we minimize it or avoid it? Is it even possible?
These Scriptures on anger will explore and answer these questions. They are great for self reflection in letting God’s word become part of the core of our being and transform us from within by his Holy Spirit.
These Bible verses about anger tell us that anger does not bring out the righteousness of God, but instead stirs up wrath, produces folly, and often results in evil.
Because of this, the Bible advises us to avoid being around people that are quick to anger and even bars them from any type of ministry.
The first place anger is mentioned in the Bible is where Cain was angry before he killed his brother. And Moses was not allowed to enter the promised land because he hit the rock in anger with his rod rather than just speaking to it as instructed by God.
In these Scriptures on anger, we are also provided with several tips on how to deal with anger when it comes. One I have used effectively myself is to rest and calm down, allowing a calmer head to prevail. We are also told to pray. And if we see anger developing in others, we are advised to use a soft answer and not provoke them.

With the help of God, I will always have anything I need. I have my wallet blessed by God, open, not only to receive, but also to give to the needy. Permit me to use this money wisely. There should be no road closed to me.
If I should need something, please God show me the way to obtain it. I have faith.
O Lord, You who have the power to give, help me resolve my problems , and let me have enough money and health to satisfy me. Amen.
There are a lot of Bible verses about love in the holy Scriptures, covering everything from God’s love toward us, our love toward God, romantic love between married couples, and our love among each other as human beings.
Since the Bible tells us that God is love, we can see why there are so many wonderful verses about throughout the Scriptures on love. We have spent the time to find the best Bible quotes covering all the different aspects of love so that you can hopefully find what you are looking for in our list of lbible verses below.
All the Bible verses about love that we have looked at reveal some insightful truths about God’s love. Not only does it tell us that God is love, but that he abounds in love and that the earth and heavens are full of his love.
The Scripture verses also inform us that God is loving all of us though Christ and that nothing can separate us from that love–a love that surpasses understanding.
The biblical love quotes we have listed also reveal the love we are supposed to have for others and they tell us what love really is. The true service of a Christian on this earth is to love–to love God, love others, love their spouse and children, and even love their enemies. Love is the manifestation of God in a fallen world that so much needs to see that part of God through those of us who profess ourselves as Christians.
Life is an important theme in the Scriptures and there are a number of significant Bible verses about life, covering both life here in the flesh and eternal life with God.
What is life? What does God say about life? When searching for Bible verses on life, we come across passages both about life here on the earth and eternal life in heaven, and the difference between the two.
You will find some great passages here exploring life that are perfect for either personal reflection or usage in a sermon. The value of our physical life in contrast to eternal life is especially interesting.
These Bible verses about life range from the creation of man to the blessed offer of eternal life.
We discover that it is God who has created mankind by breathing into us the breath of life. Our life here on the earth is to be one of following God with an understanding that this life passes away quickly and that eternal life is what really matters.
I have often found some of these passages inspirational in my daily walk with Christ, especially the passages that claim the acquisition of anything the world has to offer is of no comparison to the eternal life of our soul.
Not only do these Scriptures about life describe God as the source of life, but Jesus is identified as the eternal life that walked among us. He himself claims that he is the only way to eternal life and we are told that whoever has Christ has life, but those who do not know him do not have life.
Dear Lord,
Please forgive me for all my shortcomings
Please heal me and make me feel your presence as I experience this all the time.Please hear my prayers. I know that You are the best doctor in the world and You are the only one I need to make me feel normal and at my best again. Your will be done Lord. I surrender myself to You O Lord Almighty.

Dear Jesus,
I ask that you completely heal my PCOS condition and its symptoms. I have been mentally and emotionally devestated by this disease and I need healing now. I have not been able to handle this, and I feel completely out of control in my life. I believe the devil created disease and wishes to destroy us, but I call upon You my Savior to lift me up and make the impossible possible, heal my cells, hormones, physical afflictions and the terrible depression I have been under for what seems to be so long.
I believe that if I were kneeling before You in Your earthly life, as did the lepers, the blind men, Jairus, the Centurian and the woman with the bleeding, among others who put their faith in You, You would not hesitate to heal me. As a daughter of God I pray that You transcend the laws of time and space and touch me tonight, heal me of this affliction, let me aweken to a complete new body tomorrow.
I promise to use this as a way to glorify Your Name and to share Your love with others and to live a good life.
If not for me, for my mother, son, husband and all those who have been suffering with me. They need relief from my constant affliction and misery.
Please heal me now, Lord.
I ask Mother Mary to intercede for me, You would not refuse what Your mother requests of You.
I know there are other with worse or more dire problems every day, and I will pray for them and if I can help, I will. Heal me of this and I will make my future life a Thanksgiving to you by helping others and living the way I should but, thus far felt unable to do. I promise to tell others of my healing so they may believe and Your glory may be increased.
Jesus, Healer of all ills, hear my humble and sincere plea this moment and bless me, forgive me and teach me to live life as You will.I believe, Your will is to heal me.Thank You for Your great endless mercy… I look forward to complete healing so this cloud of sadness, despair and helplessness will be once and for all ended. Moreover, let me begin to live a faithful life and do what pleases You. Let me doubt and fear no more.
You once said, “Be not afraid, only believe”.
I believe, and I am no longer afraid.
All Saints and Angels and Christians, pray for me and I will pray for you.
Amen

I ask you Lord to pave the way for me on the chance I was given to me for my career. I pray Lord that I will have it.

I know Lord you only have to say it and I will have it.
Amen.

What does God tells us in the Bible verses about children that we find scattered throughout the Old and New Testament?
A search through the Scriptures reveals some interesting passages that tell us not only about the nature of children, but how God feels about them.
Whether you are looking for a biblical quote for a baby shower, communion, or simply trying to find out what God has to say about children out of curiosity, you’ll find a selection of 20 verses discussing children below that we’ve carefully selected from throughout the bible.
After reading all the Bible verses about children in the list above, we discover some interesting facts that not only increase our biblical knowledge, but provide us with advice we can apply in raising and caring for our own children.
Many of the Scripture passages show God’s love for children, but we are also instructed in the necessity of disciplining our own child if we really love him while being certain not to provoke or discourage him. He tells us to love them and discipline them in love.
A family with children is considered to be blessed and fortunate because several passages speak of children as a wonderful reward for those who serve and follow God. Yet, with children, the Bible quotes warns us about our responsibility to raise them as Christians by teaching them about God. We are also supposed to financially save so we can take care of them, not the other way around.

Life can sometimes be quite stressful and that is when Bible verses about stress can provide us with some comfort and instructions on how to deal with that stress.
Whether our stress is related to our work, our finances, our marriage, our family, our children, or any other number of things that might weigh us down with concern, the Bible provides some answers and reassurances to help relieve that stress.
While examining many Scriptures on stress, we have chosen the most significant Bible verses to provide help to those that need it. These verses are great for personal reflection or sending to a friend who needs some comfort.
We know that all of us will suffer stress at some times in our life, but these Bible verses about stress tell us that Jesus cares for us and that we are to cast this stress upon him. He tells us that the Christian’s life should be one of gentle rest even in the midst of life’s turmoils.
I remember a time in my life that I lost the only source of income I knew, and being stressed for many months because I was not certain how I would provide for my family. Yet, God showed me another way and things became better than before.
We are told in these Bible quotes about stress to trust God and believe that he will provide for us and help us resolve any of life’s problems and concerns. We can also take comfort in knowing that there is a future coming in which we will find eternal rest from all of our troubles, never again experiencing the turmoil of stress.

Please pray either for complete healing or for a miracle drug that the doctor can find to cure his actions as my wife and I are terribly bruised from been physically beaten by him.
Remember that if two or more stand together in prayer Jesus stands in the middle.

There are a lot of Bible verses on forgiveness found throughout the Scriptures since this is a major biblical theme. Lets take a look at the top 20.
Whether we are looking for passages about God forgiving us or those about our responsibility to forgive others, we can discover a lot of information about the nature and expectation of forgiveness.
We have carefully sorted through a huge number of biblical passages to find you the best 20 bible quotes on forgiveness for use in sermons, reflection, or study that clearly reflect the importance of forgiveness in the life of all Christians who profess to follow in the way of Jesus.
These Bible verses on forgiveness tell us that God wants to forgive us for our sins and this is clearly displayed in the attitude of Jesus toward those who were crucifying him. When looking at the way God forgives us, we can see that forgiveness goes beyond out understanding of forgiveness. When God forgives, he also forgets.
We discover in these biblical passages that God wants us to forgive others in the same way he has forgiven us. We are not to seek vengeance or desire ruin on those who have hurt us and harmed us in some way. Instead we are to leave all of that to our God. And as God’s forgiveness includes no longer remembering out sins, we also need to strive to forget the sins of others and continue to forgive them no matter how many times they have hurt us.

Often we think of addiction as a reference to drugs and alcohol, but there are Bible verses about addiction that can be applied to anything that enslaves us, or holds us back in life.
Whether it is drugs, alcohol, illicit sex, pornography, gambling, gluttony, excessive shopping, or anything else, the Bible can provide us with insight and support to make our lives better.
If you are struggling with any type of addiction or know someone who is, these Scripture about addiction should prove to be helpful. We have selected the most significant bible quotes that identify various addictions as sinful and show how a close relationship with God can assist the addict in overcoming their addiction.
These Bible verses about addiction identify some specific addictions as sinful, such as sexual immorality, alcoholism, and gluttony, with others such as drugs, pornography, gambling, and excessive shopping clearly implied.
Anything that enslaves you causes you to be its servant, which hinders you from serving God and being there for the people that need you in their lives. We are warned that those who continue in that way of life will not enter into the kingdom of God.
I like how these scriptures on addiction tell us how we can be freed from our addictions if we will only allow the Holy Spirit to work through us. We are also instructed on tips of how to stay free, such as avoiding bad company that might influence us to partake of our addiction again.
And with any temptations, God will provide us with a way of escape. It is also the responsibility of all Christians to not do anything that might cause another Christian who has a problem with addiction to stumble.
There are a wide variety of Bible verses for funerals available in the Scriptures. We have brought together a selection of 20 of the best bible quotes to be used for a funeral, wake, or obituary.
Picking the right funeral Scripture will depend on the message you are trying to deliver and the tone that the funeral might take. Death can be a trying time for those left behind, but for the Christian that left, he is now in the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. Some of these biblical quotes will be perfect for funeral eulogies or testimonials.
This page on Bible verses for funerals conveys the reality that death is real for all men and women on the face of the earth, and that death is a path that all of us will some day traverse.
With death comes sorrow and mourning for those loved ones left behind even if we know that those family members or friends who have died have gone on to be with Jesus. Even Jesus wept over the death of Lazarus. Yet, as Christians, we can also find comfort in knowing they are in heaven because of the promises we find among these Scripture passages.
Many of these biblical quotes used in funerals also speak of a coming resurrection in which death will be defeated and we will all live with God–giving us an assurance that we will never die again after that. They tell us that the first death is not a real death; that when Jesus returns, our bodies will rise from the grave into eternal life.

It is also affecting her emotionally. At times it is too much for her making her so unhappy and as a mother I feel so helpless as I am unable to alleviate her suffering. She is under a dermatologist but it just has got worse over time.
I pray for divine healing for her from the crown of her head to the tips of her toes. I ask that this disease no longer has power in her life in the mighty name of Jesus. I pray that her health be restored to how it was when our Heavenly Father created her in my womb. I rebuke this illness and command that it has no room in her body. Lord please touch her with your holy hands, anything not visible to the human eye that may be the cause of her suffering, I declare in the name of Jesus that it no longer has power in her life. Father you are the greatest Physician of all time, let your will be done in her life. Amen

I feel confused and stagnant regarding what type of employment I should pursue. I really don’t want my emotions to get the best of me because I have to focus on being and doing things will help me to be progressive. I am very sensitive and emotional right now so it’s hard for me to focus. I need you to fill me with peace, strength,ambition discipline, perseverance and the ability to focus! In the name Of Jesus I pray, Amen!!!
Change can sometimes be difficult while at other times it can be comforting, and these Bible verses about change offer a lot of insight about change for when it occurs in a Christian’s life.

These Bible verses about change show us that change is a part of existence and is experienced by everyone.
One of my favorite Bible verses about change is the passage where Abraham is called out from his home by God, and obeys even though he does not know where he is going. He was wealthy and content, so this must have been difficult for him. Sometimes God calls on us to make these kinds of changes.
Other times, events like the flood or the tower of Babel bring about change in the world that has an impact on everybody.
Some of these Scripture quotes tell us God wants us to change and renew our minds, living a holy life in contrast to the ungodliness in this world. In doing so, he promises us that we will be changed, mortality putting on immortality and the physical becoming spiritual.
Though everything in existence experiences change, we are comforted in knowing that God does not change and that his promises in Scripture are certain.

When we examine the Bible verses about hell within the Scriptures, it is difficult to deny its reality for those who willfully reject the salvation that is found in Christ.
It is Jesus himself who often warned people about the torments there and stressed its finality. Though heaven is a wonderful place of God’s blessing, hell is an awful place of suffering and not somewhere anyone would really want to go.
We have searched the biblical text to find the 20 most descriptive bible verses about hell that are appropriate for use in a Bible study, personal reflection, or a sermon about hell.
I have often found myself in discussions with people who wish to deny the biblical concept of hell despite all the Bible verses on hell. They either insist it does not exist or that the punishment is not eternal.
Yet, whenever I look at Revelation 14:11, I am reminded that not only is hell real, but that the people who go there suffer in some way forever, for it says they have no rest day or night.
In the Bible, there is a lot of scriptures about the lake of fire or the outer darkness in reference to the eternal locale of the damned. It says there will be weeping and torment there with eternal destruction and contempt. It is called the second death and will be the place of all those who reject Christ and instead continue in sin. Most importantly, the Bible tells us that it was created for the devil and his angels, not for man.
Share these Scriptures about Hell with your friends, family, and congregation.
With the necessity of using cash for just about everything in life, Bible verses about money and scripture about debt provide us with God’s insight into how we are to deal with money.
Whether you are looking for Scripture passages about money for a sermon or just for personal study, we have selected the best 20 Bible quotes we could find to give us a better understanding on the subject of money and debt.
Though most of these verses are about money in general, the last seven Bible passages are about debt and borrowing.
The desire to acquire huge sums of money has been practiced from the earliest times and our world is full of volumes written about how to get it, but these Bible verses about money advise us on all aspects of money and what our attitude should be.
We are not to love money or toil unceasingly for it, and we are to be content with what we have, realizing that the love of money is the root cause of a lot of the evil in the world.
The Scripture passages tell us that money can keep us from loving God or cause us to depart from the faith. They also warn that those who love money will never be satisfied no matter how much they get, and that when someone gets money too hastily rather than working for it in a steady productive manner, they will usually lose it just as quickly.
These Bible quotes about money suggest that the best situation is a balance between being poor and being rich, rather than one or the other.
Also, the Scripture on debt advises us to avoid borrowing if we can. But, we also must faithfully pay any debts that we owe.
Babies are so cute – no doubt about it – and it is only natural to wonder what the Bible verses about babies have to say.
What does God think about the birth of a new baby into the world? Whether you are looking for the perfect Bible quote for a baby shower or you just want to understand God’s love for infants, we have provided a nice selection of 20 of the best biblical passages we could find.
We have focused on passages on show how God participates in making a baby and how he feels about them.
Though there are not a lot of Bible verses about babies, there are enough to get an idea about how God feels about them. Some of the Scripture passages above tell us that it is God who forms babies in the womb and that they are a blessing to mankind. Even God’s Son Jesus came into the world as a baby.
We also find mention of the great joy that comes to the mother and others when a new baby comes into the world. In some of the scripture about babies we see that God even wanted babies to be there during worship, and that Jesus said there were angels that looked after them.
We can also learn a lot from what the Bible does not say about babies. There is not even one passage in the entire Bible that mentions a baby or young child going to hell.
Jesus,thank u for all the love you have given to us.My kid is struggling in her studies she is always having a stressful day.Lord,you know that because of her shyness she finds her subjects more difficult.She has only 1 friend that can help her.

In the Bible verses about family that we find throughout the Scripture, the family is often seen together as one unit in blessing, responsibility, and punishment.
Though there are not a lot of quotes that speak of the entire immediate family in one passage, there are some, and they provide quite a bit of insight.
We have done our best to gather 20 of the most relevant family related passages in the biblical text for understanding how God sees the family and what is expected of a family. These Scriptures on family are great for study or reflection.
In these Bible verses about the family, we find that both the family and having children are a blessing from God.
Colossians 3:18-21 is one of my favorite passages because it describes the proper roles of the man, the woman, and the children in the family relationship that we also find reinforced in other scriptures on family.
The man is supposed to love his wife and children with gentleness and kindness, the woman is to submit to the authoritative role of her husband, and the children are to obey their parents. And Job prayed for his children on a regular basis.
When there is a family unit, they are often effected by the actions of the other family members.
Sometimes the whole family is punished for the sins of the father, and an entire unbelieving family can be sanctified and considered clean simply because one of them is a believer.
