PEAGRAM FAMILY

Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.

Mark 11:24,25 NIV

For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.

Ephesians 2:8,9 NASB

For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.17God did not send his Son into the world to condemn it, but to save it.

JOHN 3: 16, 17

ANYWAY

People are often unreasonable, illogical,

and self-centered;

Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, People may accuse you

of selfish, ulterior motives;

Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some

false friends and some true enemies;

Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank,

people may cheat you;

Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone

could destroy overnight;

Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness,

they may be jealous;

Be happy anyway.

The good you do today,

people will often forget tomorrow;

Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have,

and it may never be enough;

Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis,

it is between you and God;

It was never between you and them anyway.

For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all men--the testimony given in its proper time.

1 Timothy 2:5,6 NIV

Oh, that You would bless me indeed and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You should keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!!
