in times of troubleWhen my heart feels weary, and my mind wonders, how good is it to come across words of such beauty and hope…

“Trust me in your times of trouble, and I will rescue you, and you will give me glory..”

Psalm 50:15

God is for you.  He wants to help you, hold you; and guide you…

How I pray you will hear His gentle whisper calling your name,

Oh Lord, Soften our hearts that we could hear Your whispers of refuge and strength..

How truly blessed are we to call out your name,

Father, I feel confused and weary, how I thank You for Your amazing strength and hope…

Thank You for meeting me right where I am.

That I can let my wondering thoughts flow like a symphony up to your throne, the further they get, the quieter more heart gets…

“You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all of your heart, I will be found by you, declares the Lord…”

Jeremiah 29:13-14

As much as my thoughts may wonder, how I praise Your Holy name that You never let me feel abandoned on alone…

Your love is priceless, and fills me with purpose and hope…

Thank You so much for telling us, that when we seek You, we will find you;  and You will get the glory in our lives…

That is so beautiful, and fills me with such beauty, peace, and a quiet strength…

Your glory covering my life and my heart…

What a cherished gift indeed!

I love You, Jesus, and give you my day…

May you use my heart to draw other’s into your presence…

In Jesus name,

I pray,

Amen

Live in Love,

Lisa

My thoughts overwhelmed by such glory and light…

To know that the God of this universe, comes so near… covers my worry and chains my fear..

“I will honor You as long as I live, lifting up my hands to You in prayer…I will praise You with songs of joy. 

I lie awake thinking of you, meditating on You through the night.  I think how much You have helped me; I sing for joy in the shadow of Your protecting wings…”

don't stop believing blog pic“Therefore since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders, and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance, the race marked out for us. 

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross scoring its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God..

Hebrews 12:1-2

Don’t stop believing in God’s majesty and goodness…

Don’t let the sin of pride that yells “You aren’t good enough” discourage or weigh you down…

Pride is sneaky like that!

For we know we will never be good enough…

That’s why Jesus died on the cross…

 People need Him so desperately…

They need His smile.  They need His hope…

They need to see HIM….

They need laughter… they need joy.

He choose you and I to be His mouth piece.. His  hands; and HIs feet…

He truly is the author and perfecter of our faith…

Trust in Him for all that is good…

Oh, Dear Heavenly Father,

How my heart cries out to You with such gladness and thanksgiving…

You chose to die, that we might live…

You endured the cross, scorning it’s shame..

That I ..

That we..

would be free!

Let my life’s song be a ministry of love first to You…

My Father and my King…

And then to the many witness that surround us…

May they always be touched by the light of Your presence..

By the beauty of Your grace…

Fill me with Your strength…

Don’t let me lose heart.

“Consider Him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart”

Hebrews 12:3

I am considering…  and so very astonished by Your words of truth…

I love You, Jesus,

In Your Name, I pray,

Amen

Live in Love,

Lisa
