Sovereignty

Beloved–

O Lord, I have come to you for protection … Be my rock of safety … for you are my rock and my fortress … But I will keep on hoping for your help; I will praise you more and more.  I will tell everyone about your righteousness … I will praise your mighty deeds, O Sovereign Lord.  I will tell everyone that you alone are just.  (from Psalms)

I pray–

If this is a lesson I want to learn it!  If this is a test I want to pass it!  If this is your will then I will praise and thank you for it!

I pray for you daily to acknowledge his sovereignty and to Know that just because you can’t see the end of the tunnel the God who is– is right there in front of you and he’s got your back!

Luv Ya!

Fear vs Freedom

Beloved–

The Lord is my light and my salvation— so why should I be afraid?  The Lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger, so why should I tremble?  (from Psalms)

Fear shrouds my heart from the joy the Lord has provided for me.  Fear causes me to want to solve problems for my own glory rather than watching God’s solutions.  The sooner I confess my sin the sooner I can stop trembling.  Confession is quite refreshing.

I pray for you everyday to depend on the Lord for a solution; praising our triune God for his mercy and grace.

Luv Ya!

Stop digging!

Beloved–

We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation.  And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.  (from Romans)

I dug myself into such a deep hole I couldn’t see backward or forward.  And all because I was trying to solve all my problems alone.  How easily I “step out of the boat” when I should be sitting quietly, glorifying my Lord and savior.  

I pray for you everyday to know that the Lord loves you dearly; so praise the God who is… Father, Son and Spirit.

Luv Ya!

OMG, not again

Beloved–

Praise the Lord, I tell myself; with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name.  Praise the Lord, I tell myself, and never forget the good things he does for me… Praise the Lord, I tell myself; O Lord my God, how great you are!    (from Psalms)

Every morning I tell myself, I won’t make a decision without praying for God’s wisdom; then I turn right around and paint myself into a corner.  I praise God for his forgiveness and his patience with me.

I pray for you daily to recognize temptation before you step in it; and trust the God who is… Father, Son and Spirit.

Luv Ya!
