Lord, I cry out to You today!



John 16: 33 ESV
“I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world, you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”

This morning I needed to cry out to God, I needed to bring my fears, my problems and my anxiety to Him. I know when King David was facing difficult times, he would call out to God. Psalm 18 verse 6 he cries out "In my distress, I cried out to the Lord." I feel abandoned and all alone.

I will pray, about my circumstances, and I trust in the Lord. God is my refuge, and I can run to Him every day. Proverbs tells me that "The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe."

The Lord Jesus tells us that we will go through trials and tribulations. It's all part of our journey.
Paul speaks of disciplining his body, taking charge of it lest he falls. 1 Corinthians 9: 27 ESV: "But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified." I am trying to be obedient and trust in the Lord. Laying down my selfish motives and waiting for Him to move in my life.

I believe dying to self is going to bring suffering, which in the end will bring hope too. Jesus Christ overcame the world then so can I.

Prayer

Elohim Almighty God, You have heard my prayers this morning, I am struggling to overcome my flesh. Please, Lord, I need Your peace in my life today. I want to dedicate my husband into Your hands, bless him today. Guide him and take care of him in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen

2nd Wedding Anniversary!

Hey, hey it is my 2 nd anniversary!   This has been an interesting time in my life and I must be honest I am starting to see the changes in my own life.    Firstly remember I am a city girl with this bad ass attitude, my way or the highway.   Ah, now let me tell you that doesn’t work like this.   My husband has a firm hand over me and keeps me in toe.   I am still my own person and have many new interests.    How was my day today?   Well the normal, got out of bed at 04h30 and then left the house by 06h00 arriving at work at 07h00.   Then to top it off in an early morning meeting at 07h30 to 08h30, then back in the office.   I worked on three projects; getting information from people isn’t that easy.   I firstly completed my own scope of work, followed up with the suppliers and then going back to the next person.   As I work according to my time keeping schedule I then finally got to lunch time.   I...

Wisdom in Trusting God

Proverbs 3: 5-6 NIV “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.” My journey has been really interesting and there are days when I find it really difficult to trust in God.  On those days I go and make all kinds of plans and I think and worry about the matter at hand and at the end of that day I am tired, frustrated and I feel sick to my stomach.  Are you able to relate?   It sounds so easy when you read these words “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;”  Many times I take my problems to the LORD and I leave them with the LORD and after some serious thinking and worrying I go back to the LORD and take the problems back. This has been something I did for a number of years and lately, I have realized it has to change, I have to trust in the LORD.  After all, God is the creator and knows the plans for...
