No Fear

Posted on by

For God has not given us a spirit of fear but one of power, love, and a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7

Perhaps ‘fear not’ is repeated so often (365 times in the NIV) because we need constant reassurance that God is always near and we can depend on His love! We can lean on His strength and count on His help. He is always near!

Think about His love… Think about His grace…

Abba, Father, show us Your Presence in every part of our lives. Take away any fear, worry, or anxiety and replace it with strength, love, and self-control. Hold us close and give us comfort.

Blessings and grace to you and yours!

Trust God

Are you trying to do it all yourself? Stop it!

God is in control.

Trust Him!

Let Him do His job.

He can and He will!

Abba, Father, forgive us for not turning to You with all of our issues and problems. Keep us mindful that You can do anything. Help us rely on You.

Blessings to you and yours!

Slow To Anger

Posted on by

Are you a person of calm temperament? Slow to anger?

The Bible has a lot to say about being slow to anger. “The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.” (Psalm 103:8) I found 52 (could be more) verses that talk about this subject. Not one of them said don’t be angry.

Anger is a reality in daily life, however, we should think through the best response. Perhaps, even, we should not respond at all. Slowing down and thinking through the possibilities is the better way. After all, it is God’s way.

Abba, Father, control our responses to life’s situations. Let our words be gracious, kind, and supportive.

Blessings to you and yours!

Take Care Of Me

Posted on by

God Will Take Care of You! In fact, He wants to.

First things first… God cares so much that He sent His One and Only Son to die for us. That’s how much He cares. (John 3:16)

He guards our hearts and minds and gives us peace that is beyond our understanding. (Philippians 4:7)

Every detail of our lives, every moment of our lives, is in His control. He knows every need, want, and desire. Because of His great love for us, He wants us to have what is best for us.

Abba, Father, take care of us today!

Blessings to you and yours!

Ask God

Posted on by

When life throws a curveball… ask God!

When you really don’t know what to do… Ask God!

When there seems to be no clear answer… Ask God!

There is nothing God wants more than for us to share everything with Him.

He is in control. He knows what happens next. He wants what is best.

Ask God!

Blessings and grace to you and yours!
