#Prayer


Philippians 4: 6 AMP

“Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God.”

The past couple of months I have been waking up around 4 am every morning. During this time I just pray and say thank you to the Lord for another day. I then start talking to Him about my children and grandchildren and stepchildren. My worry for each day and how I feel in general. By the time my alarm goes off, I am wide awake and ready to start the day.

I must be honest sometimes when I feel so distorted and so abandoned it is almost impossible to speak to God. I do suffer from these difficult days but God is so good He always sends me a gift or something to cheer me up.

I have come to realize that even when I feel that there is no way that I am going to make it, God comes through for me. I also have come to realize that I need to keep on praying. I believe it’s second nature to just speak to God.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, Lord You know my heart and mind, Lord You also know what I feel worried about. Thank You, Lord that You are my provider, thank You Lord that You will look out for my children, grandchildren and stepchildren. I am grateful for today, I can breathe, I can see, I can smell and I can walk and talk. I have the ability to create and I can enjoy many other great things in my life. Lord bless my children and grandchildren and my stepchildren. Bless all my family in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ today and thank You for hearing my prayers in Jesus Christ's name. Amen

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life.  Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward.  God gave me common sense an...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other.    Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’.   Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her.    One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it.   As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’.    Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl.   I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today.   I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

Help Me Stay True in Giving God His Tithe

Can I be real with you for a minute? Tithing is something I wrestle with. I try my best to be faithful, giving to the best of my ability. But let's be honest, sometimes I look around and see others who seem to be blessed in ways I'm not. They have this financial ease, this "caliber" of blessing, that can feel a world away from my own reality. And in those moments of doubt, a quiet, gentle voice reminds me: I am blessed. God does provide. He has come through for me more times than I can count, often in ways I didn't even see until later. He's always there, picking me up when I've lost it and guiding me when I'm blind to the path. My heart is so grateful for that. But my thinking still needs work. My human nature kicks in and whispers, "I earned this. I worked for this salary." It’s a constant battle to get my heart aligned with the truth. And the truth is found in verses like this: “A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the ...
