A prayer for men
LORD? I know many men who need your help.

Men without respect… or honor… or praise…

Men without love… without fulfillment… incomplete…

Men without purpose… without direction… without work…

Men alone.

It was never your intention to abandon a man to be:
- without a wife
- without work
- without a friend
- without You.
So LORD, please help all these men who have been driven deep into the recesses of defeat.

Lift them LORD, to YOUR purpose, YOUR complete Love and YOUR full blessing.

Blessed is the man
who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in the way of sinners,
nor sits in the seat of scoffers – Psalm 1:1

Blessed is the man who finds a good wife in the Lord.

Blessed is the man whose children honor him and whose wife respects him.

Blessed is the man near to his Christian brothers.

Blessed is the man known of the Lord in the gates.

Blessed is the man who can provide for others.

Yet in these evil days, blessed is the man who is rejected by his beloved for the sake of our Lord.

Blessed is the man whose wife and children reject him.

Blessed is the man who is rejected by his friends of the world.

Blessed is the man who is not known and cannot find work.

“Blessed are you when people hate you and when they exclude you and revile you and spurn your name as evil, on account of the Son of Man! – Luke 6:22

Dear Lord? We pray for these faithful men…

and also their loved ones.

In Christ’s Name…

Blessed fear

What is blessing? What causes curse?

Deuteronomy 11:26 “See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse:

27 the blessing, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today,

28 and the curse, if you do not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside from the way that I am commanding you today…

Can fear be a blessing? Whom or what do you fear?

Proverbs 28:14

Blessed is the one who fears the Lord always,
but whoever hardens his heart will fall into calamity.

Acts 9:31 So the church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace and was being built up. And walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, it multiplied.

Psalms 111:10

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom;
all those who practice it have a good understanding.
His praise endures forever!

2 Kings 6:17 Then Elisha prayed and said, “O LORD, please open his eyes that he may see.” So the LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw, and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.

Happy are you…
Happy Birthday. Thanks.

Happy Anniversary. Thanks.

Did you have a happy birthday? … Hmmm… Quite a different question.

By “Happy,” do you mean “BLESSED?”

If that is your question, my answer is YES.

Aren’t happiness and blessedness the same? How does Jesus measure blessedness?

Jesus Christ gives us an insight into blessedness and happiness you may not have considered or may hesitate to embrace.

You will find Jesus’ measure of “blessed” the Beatitudes in two of the Gospels.

We may see more of Jesus’ paradox of blessedness in the Young’s Literal Translation (or a contemporary rendering like The Message Bible):
- Happy the poor
- Happy those hungering now
- Happy those weeping now
- Happy are ye when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you, and shall reproach, and shall cast forth your name as evil, for the Son of Man’s sake
(In case you seek a little more “blessedness”) Mathew’s Good News adds a little more to the paradox than Luke:
- `Happy the poor in spirit
- `Happy the mourning
- `Happy the meek
- `Happy those hungering and thirsting for righteousness
- `Happy the kind
- `Happy the clean in heart
- `Happy the peacemakers
- `Happy those persecuted for righteousness’ sake
- `Happy are ye whenever they may reproach you, and may persecute, and may say any evil thing against you falsely for my sake
Jesus said to His disciples – His followers: “You are my friends if you do what I command.” – John 15:14

Is Christ Jesus your friend? (Take a look at His ‘To Do List’ for “Happiness.”)

Blessed are we IF we DO these things.

“And if you do not carry your own cross and follow me, you cannot be my disciple. – Luke 14:27

Blessed are you: beloved brother, beloved sister in our Lord.

Have a blessed day. :{)+
