But we will not boast beyond limits, but will boast only with regard to the area of influence God assigned to us, to reach even to you.

Help me, Lord, to keep focused on the Personal Mission Field that You have assigned me to. My tendency is to wander into other pastures, forsaking the tasks that You have given me; help me in my procrastination; help me to keep my eyes focused on You and Your leadings.

Teach me your way, O LORD, and lead me on a level path because of my enemies. Give me not up to the will of my adversaries; for false witnesses have risen against me, and they breathe out violence. I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living!

Not only will I look on Your goodness in the land of the living, but also in the land of the living dead. Your goodness and mercy does and will continue to guide me as I transverse this life of testimony to those who are living in the depths of depravity and sin. I will see daily Your goodness at work bringing healing and transformation, bringing restoration, bringing salvation those who seek forgiveness.

Cast me not off; forsake me not, O God of my salvation! For my father and my mother have forsaken me, but the LORD will take me in.

Your face do I seek but there seems to be a veil between us. I want, I hunger for that deep sense of Your presence. Where is it, Lord, what stands between us, where is my unconfessed sin that stands between us? Help me, Holy Spirit,

Of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? When evildoers assail me to eat up my flesh, my adversaries and foes, it is they who stumble and fall. Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, yet I will be confident.

Romans 8:38-39 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, (39) nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate me from the love of God in Christ Jesus my Lord.

 What do I have to fear? Nothing! Nada! For He says, "I will never leave you or forsake you. Do not be afraid." Deuteronomy 31:9 Nothing can separate me from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus my Lord.

Lord, I need Your leading today as I stand before a group of prison ministers and inmates with the responsibility of leading the conference. Select every word that issues from my mouth that it will glorify You and give Your honor.
