Luke 18 “So pay attention to how you hear. To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given. But for those who are not listening, even what they think they understand will be taken away from them.”

OMG those words almost literally jumped off the page at me today.  How many times in the past have I read God’s word and not really heard and understood its meaning as it applied directly to me?  Pastor says our goal is to be God, so I pray for the Lord to be uppermost in my mind at all times.

I pray for you daily to have God as your life goal.

Luv Ya!

…“The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields. Luke 2  

I want so much to get out there in the field and work but the Lord has me housebound (for the most part); to learn the lesson to trust in him completely and not to want to do things in my own strength. A lesson I have had to learn more than once.

The Lord is patient with his children, never discouraged when we fall and forget who is in charge.  I am praying for you to constantly be aware of his presence in your life.

Luv Ya!

20 …“It is what comes from inside that defiles you. 21 For from within, out of a person’s heart, come evil thoughts, …envy, slander, pride, and foolishness. 23 All these vile things come from within; they are what defile you.”  34 Then, calling…he said, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross, and follow me. 38 If anyone is ashamed of me and my message in these adulterous and sinful days, the Son of Man will be ashamed of that person when he returns in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. (Mark chap 7 & 8)

After reading these verses over and over the words of a worship song whose title or all the lyrics I don’t remember, but  with the refrain, “change my heart, O God.”   Now I call out that refrain in prayer frequently.

I pray daily for you to want God to change your heart.

Luv Ya!

Psalm 23 A psalm of David.

1 The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need.

2 He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams.

3 He renews my strength.  He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name.

4 Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me.  Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me.

5 You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies.  You honor me by anointing my head with oil.  My cup overflows with blessings.

6 Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me  all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.

I am overwhelmed by God’s grace and his willingness to choose such a sinner as I am. Praying for you daily.

Luv Ya!
