Beloved—

The WORD tells me that when I pray, my prayer needs to be in “sync” with the Lord’s plan for me (Jer 29:11).

But how can I pray if I’m not sure what the plan is?  The Bible makes it crystal clear that my life’s purpose is to glorify God in all that I do.   So I pray that he will guide the choices I make but most of all I pray that I want his way for me more than my own way (easier said than done).  I just need to keep my spiritual eyes and ears open and my earthly eyes and ears closed.

I pray for you daily, that you and I will trust and obey even if it looks like disaster is just around the corner.

Luv Ya!

I can’t tell you how many times I started to say something (or thought something) that was stopped short by the memory of the WORD.

I have hidden your word in my heart that I might sin against you. Psm 119 nlt

Take control of what I say, O Lord. and guard my lips. Psm 141 nlt  (It is put more succinctly in Spanish) O Lord don’t let me say, not even, one stupid thing.

My first attempts at daily Bible reading were hit and miss.  There were times when I just couldn’t find a minute; kids, laundry, meals, work, just not enough time.  Frustrated and ready to quit, I had one more thought (sure it was all mine) I would read the Bible first thing, I would only do it for 5 minutes.  From that time forward I was able to see a way to better schedule my day.  I just needed to set my priorities.

I pray for you daily to set your priorities on the WORD.

Luv Ya!

Beloved–

Understand, therefore, that the Lord your God is God.  He is the faithful God who keeps his covenant for a thousands generations and constantly loves those who love him and obey his commands….But even after all he did, you refused to trust the Lord your God (Deuteronomy).  When I first read the story of the Israelites, my first reaction was what a “bunch of dummies.”

Then I was brought face-to-face with the many times I failed to trust in God and the poor choices I made; I trusted my own wisdom and strength rather than be obedient.  God is in control and just because I can’t see it doesn’t make it not true!

I pray that you KNOW that God constantly loves you even when you don’t trust and obey.

Luv Ya!

Beloved–

Praying is just as important to me as my life’s blood!  I feel there is something missing when I fail to keep my line of communication open with the Lord.  When chaos reigns around me I cling to his word.  (Psm 17v6  When I pray I know you will answer, O God).

As I pray the Lord gives me peace of heart and mind because I have no problem too big or too small for his care and concern.  (Romans 12v12 Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying).

I pray that you keep on keeping on!

Luv Ya!

Beloved–

When I sin I’m telling the Lord, “I don’t trust your plan for my life (Jeremiah 29:11).  Yet, I enthusiastically accepted God’s plan to save my soul from going to hell. (John 3::16).  So what kind of a believer am I?

I’m in all the way!  Help me Lord, I pray, to trust you.

I pray daily for you to know what kind of a believer you are.

Luv Ya!
