He Hears Us

Posted on by

I find it amazing that the One and Only God hears me!

Not only hears me but wants to hear me. He wants to know every delight, every problem, everything! That’s pretty incredible when I consider that the Creator and Master of all that is, was, and ever will be thinks I am worthy of His attention. The King of Kings stretches out His hand to me, grabs hold, and says, “Let’s talk. Tell me everything.”

Abba, Father, hear me today. Hear my joys, my sorrows, my needs, my wants… I Need Your Presence!

Blessings to you and yours!

Winter’s Stillness

Posted on by

Winter is my favorite season. Especially the snow days.

For me it’s a time of waiting. A time for simply looking out my window and seeing my God. The whiteness reminds me of purity and peace. Stillness prevails. My mind is quieted.

Abba, Father, thank You for the reminder that You are always present. That You hear me. That You love me.

Blessings to you and yours!

ELOHIM SHOMRI – God Is My Protector

Posted on by

GOD is striding ahead of you. He walks proudly, with importance in His step, carrying the banner that identifies me as part of His family. He’s covering every second, every nuance of this day. Psalm 139

He’s right there with you.  Not just ahead but in front, back, sides, up and down.  In my mind, my heart, my soul.  He has all of me. He’s covering every second, every nuance of this day. Isaiah 41:10

He won’t let you down.  He keeps all of His promises, faithfully.  He never fails us. Psalm 145:13

Don’t be intimidated.  There are bullies and controllers everywhere, including our inner minds!  Stop listening to them.  Only God is worth consistently listening to! Deuteronomy 13:6

Don’t worry! Just stop letting whatever is bothering you have such control.  God is in control.  He has it all covered. Matthew 19:26

Sackcloth and Ashes of the Heart – Book Review

Posted on by

sackcloth

I was recently blessed with the opportunity to review Sackcloth and Ashes of the Heart. This book is a somewhat new way to do a Bible study. Sheri Caruso opens each week of the 8-week study with an insightful look at one of the churches of Revelation. This is followed by 7 days of verses to contemplate and pray. The unexpected format was a gift because I decided that I would totally immerse myself in the process. I’m so glad I did. 

I chose the book because of its title and expected a great story of someone who had greatly sinned and through a season of repentance and prayer (Sackcloth and Ashes…) was totally forgiven. By the end of the book I discovered that person was me. Praying through the verses each day in my own words helped me understand that not only are the Revelation Churches about individual groups but they have issues that directly apply to me. Wow!

I highly recommend this book to groups and individuals. It is definitely worth the time.

It’s free on Kindle right now! Right here – Sackcloth and Ashes of the Heart

Blessings to you and yours!

Have there been times when you want, really want, to pray the right words but something is blocking it. Of course, you have, we all have. I came across this article by Laura Fleetwood in the Joyful Life Magazine that was tremendously helpful. Check out Prayers for Anxiety.
