Gateway Church Of Visalia

Matthew 6:33 & James 4:10 Come to the Lord and be humble. Sometimes we have a tendency to be self-reliant and not want to stop and pray for God's help. But Jesus and James encourage us to reach out to God, to seek His kingdom first.

James 4:8 & Psalm 139:23-24 Father, be with us and near us every day. Amen. Sometimes it's hard to let God take complete control in our lives. Each day we spend in prayer, brings us closer and closer to God. Walking with God becomes easier when we pray to God continually. Be thankful to God and praise Him.

Goodness & Love: "Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever." There's so much joy knowing that someday there will be no more pain, only goodness and love and time with God in His house.

Banner of Victory: "You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies" God sets that table, He sets a feast before me.

Available & Comforter: "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me." Jesus will always be available, no matter the circumstances.

Righteousness & Sanctification: "He guides me in paths of righteousness" It is not on our own strength, ability or merit that we have been saved. It is by God's character, our righteousness. By God's strength we grow and change and move away from our sinful life.

Peace & Healer: "He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside quiet waters." When we think about the peace of God, we should be overcome by peace. This isn't to say that we will never have troubles, but His peace remains with us at all times.
