“Do not be anxious about anything, but everything, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, present your request to God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding shall guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6,7)

Good morning Dearly Beloved! Today is the National Day of Prayer and I want you to know that I am praying for you!

Yolanda Adams is set to release a new album and one of the featured tracks is entitled “Be Blessed” and that’s my prayer for you today. I’m praying that you’ll Be Blessed. The lyrics follow:

“Be Blessed”
(From Yolanda Adams' forthcoming Album)

Too many storms have passed your way
And you’re all washed-out because it rained on your parade
Seems nobody cares about you anyway
Now you’re living your life like a castaway

Searched for strength inside
Was it all in vain?
‘Cause the deeper you dig
You find more and more pain

Don’t let your tomorrow be like yesterday
‘Cause I spoke to God
I called out your name and
On your behalf I just asked if he would be there for you!

I want you to be blessed
Don’t live life in distress
Just let go, let God
He’ll work it out for you

I pray that your soul will be blessed
Forever in his rest
You deserve His best no less

Enter a place where you never have to cry
Never have to live a lie
Never have to wonder why
Never want for nothing
You’re always satisfied
In the peace that His arms will provide

He will erase any guilt or shame
Any bad habits you’ve got
You wont’ want to do them again
Yes we all can change
I can testify

See I spoke to God
I called out your name
And on your behalf
I just asked if he would be there for you!

Peace and Blessings!
