We are privileged to live in Your presence, O God. I want to try to picture it, maybe like a fog. If the fog was blue, we would be surrounded by blue fog. It would fill the room we are in. May each of us sense Your presence surrounding us, swirling around us as we go about our lives. May we always be aware of You in our cars, in our homes, at our place of work. As we perform…
Prayer to Acknowledge God’s Ways Are Sovereign and Perfect Your ways are past finding out, O Lord. Your thoughts are far above our thoughts. We bow, O Lord, before Your purity and holiness. We see Your sovereignty and we praise You. All Your ways are righteous and just. We bow before You, O King of the universe. Your will has been accomplished this past week. You have allowed those to prosper who want evil. We can complain and grumble, but we…
Walking with God As often as you can, go for a walk with God. Or maybe just sit in your car for several minutes aware of His presence with you. Make it a time to visit with your Creator. Share your heart with Him and let God share His heart with you. Learn to listen with your heart rather than your brain. He wants to have a personal relationship with you. I think we use that term without really knowing…
As believers, our lives have a purpose. Our everyday lives have a divine purpose. It’s not just another ho hum day in a believer’s life. We aren’t simply church going people vs. those who don’t go to church. Our life is not one of religion, or religious activity. Having our names written in the Book of Life isn’t all there is. Apostle Peter tells us in his first letter, chapter two that we are a chosen people, holy nation, royal…
You have been chosen! God has chosen each person and predestined them for an abundant life as a member of His family. Sadly, most will not respond. Most will say “maybe later”. Or they simply don’t want Him. But think of it. The Almighty Creator of the entire universe wants you to be His child and He wants to be your God. Eph. 2:19 Your God. The One who will never forsake you no matter in what circumstance you find…
Have you ever thought about visiting with God? How about going for a walk with God? Or maybe designating a place in your home that you can have a private visit with Him? If not, I encourage you to go for a walk with God. Share your thoughts. Give Him a chance to share His thoughts. Do you know that He is waiting to visit with you? Spend time enjoying the soft breeze with Him or the beautiful sunshine. Listen…
Could you use this prayer? O Lord, I need a deep cleansing. Search all the forgotten places where I’ve buried what I didn’t want remembered. It is lying there in the dark like mold. Spots and stains. Sores and fractures in my soul. Those fleeting memories that bubble to the surface of my memory when all is quiet. Go back through the years and expose to Your holy light the sins I have not dealt with, have not admitted to,…
The goal of being more than a conqueror is Biblical according to Romans 8:37. But…are we successful? What might be another reason our enemies seem to have the upper hand in our lives? Could it be our loyalty? Are we wholly the Lord’s? Or are we just wanting Him to fix a part of us and the rest we can keep for ourselves? Could it be that we want life to be easier, better, less stressful? But, surrendering to God…
Another reason we might not be conquerors is we haven’t come to the place where we truly don’t trust ourselves. When we come to the place where we know that we can’t do life. That needs to be the premise of our life if we are to have victory. We fail because we trust ourselves. There needs to be a time when we say,”I can’t do life.” Period. Permanent. It must be a trusted and settled fact from that day…
