Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding…Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom…Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. (from Proverbs)

As a young Christian, I was only sure of one thing, I had a savior!  Now I know that, no matter how confused I feel in any situation I can stop worrying.  I don’t have to come up with the solution, he has it handled.  It’s a relief to know that I’m not in charge.

I pray for you to know that if you don’t trust yourself and truly seek his will, you will recognize it.

Luv Ya!

Beloved–

Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.  Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.  (from 1 Peter)

I have learned over my years of lows and highs that I have an enemy, Satan.  He tries to convince me I’m alone or that I don’t deserve peace of mind and heart.  But when my Lord and savior helps me to recognize the enemy, Satan loses the power to confuse me!

I pray for you everyday that you trust your savior more than what you can feel or see.  Don’t let the enemy win.

Luv Ya!

Beloved–

I will praise the Lord no matter what happens. I will constantly speak of his glories and grace; I will boast of all his kindness to me.  Let all who are discouraged take heart.  For I cried to him and he answered me; he freed me from all my fears… (from Psalms)

I pray for you to always feel (KNOW) the joy of the Lord’s comfort no matter the situation.

Luv Ya!

Beloved–

Don’t slip back into your old ways of living to satisfy your own desires…for you are a chosen people… God’s very own possession.  As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.  (from 1 Peter)

God graciously chose my heart (before the foundation of the earth) knowing that I would be a dirty rotten sinner.  Now, when I meet someone I wonder if God chose that person’s heart–and do they know it.  

I pray for you daily to know your own heart and to care about the hearts of your friends, family, as well as strangers.

Luv Ya!

Beloved–

…Love each other deeply with all your heart.  So prepare your minds for action and exercise self-control…  For you know that God paid a ransom to save you… It was the precious blood of Christ…  (from 1 Peter)

My first employer surely couldn’t be included in that group—yet Christ paid the price for his soul too.  Acknowledging that fact caused me to have a new perspective of someone I thought of as an enemy.  When we see people through the cross of Christ, it is easier to recognize people Christ loves from our real enemy.

I pray for you daily to live at the foot of the cross—it really is the safest place to be.

Luv Ya!
