A soothing tongue is a tree of life, But perversion in it crushes the spirit. (from Proverbs)

When I first read verse one of the 14th chapter of Proverbs I stopped reading and started praying, “oh God I never want to become a woman like that.”  With that thought in mind and continuing to read the book of Proverbs I soon realized that the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart were more dangerous to my relationships than my actions.  Now my daily prayer is, “oh heavenly Father, seal my lips and never let me say or think anything that is not from you.”  I pray for you to desire our triune God’s thoughts and words over your own.

Luv Ya!

People may be pure in their own eyes, but the Lord examines their motives … And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness …  we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words (from Proverbs and Romans)

Even after I was saved (and understood fully what had happened) I continued to pray in a stiffnecked and hard hearted attitude. I was oblivious of my refusal to trust the plan of the Lord God Almighty above my own.  I pray for you to desire to trust our triune God completely.

Luv Ya!   

Beloved–

But when Pharaoh saw that there was relief, he hardened his heart and did not listen to them, as the Lord had said.  (from Exodus)

Whenever I think of Pharaoh’s response I think dumb bunny.  Lately, I realize that my stiff neck and hardened heart for a very specific prayer request caused me to not be willing to accept that the Lord was working out HIS plan for me.  I pray for you to not be like Pharaoh and me but to know that the Lord loves you and he’s got your back!

Luv Ya!

Beloved–

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere …  (from Acts)

As a new believer I didn’t understand how my triune God functioned; all I knew was that  when I was desperate and cried out to my heavenly Father, he answered. Now I know that the Holy Spirit has been guiding me since the moment I cried out in faith for his help. I pray for you to recognize that still small voice you hear is your loving heavenly Father calling you.

Luv Ya!
