“Though the Lord is on high, He looks upon the lowly, but the proud He knows from afar. Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You preserve my life;

You stretch out Your hand against the anger of my foes with Your right hand you save me. 

The Lord will fulfill His purpose for me; Your love, O Lord endures forever.  Do not abandon the works of Your hands.”

Psalm 138:6-8

These words are deep.  They are personal.  God loves you, and He sees your broken and weary heart…

It gives me great peace to know that God looks upon the lowly…

“Though the Lord is on high, He looks upon the lowly, but the proud He knows from afar.”

Psalm 138:6

To this world, humility looks like weakness, but to those who know God; and search for hope, it’s our lifeline…

When you are walking though a storm, “through the midst of trouble”, how beautiful is it to read these words…

“Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will preserve my life, You stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes, with Your right hand You save me.”

Psalm 138:7

Awwwsoome…

He stretches out His hand, and He saves us…

 Amazing grace!

So as we go about our day, tucked under the Father’s wing, waiting out the storm… How I pray for our hearts to be set free, that we would walk in peace, filled with joy, and living our day to the fullest; and trusting God with the rest…

Dear Heavenly Father, Good Morning… I come before Your throne, laying at your feet my tired and weary heart.  Thank You for Your great hope of strength and mercy.  As I lay my burdens at your throne, I am so thankful I don’t have to stress, finagle and manipulate my surroundings… I will gladly lay my troubles down and seek the wonders of Your hand…

Giving You my day, Heavenly Father, is like a breath of fresh air, filling me with hope, love and the strength to live in love…

May I live in love today, and trust in Your goodness with all of my heart…

I love You, Jesus…

In Your Name,

I pray,

Amen

“The Lord will fulfill His purpose for me; Your love, O Lord endures forever.  Do not abandon the works of Your hands.”

Stay in the Light and don’t turn back…

“The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise..”

Psalm 51: 17

How good is it to know that being right with God is a broken spirit.. a contrite heart.  Surrendering our pride and accepting God’s grace…

Agreeing with Him over our foolish ways.

Our foolish ways that have hurt us and have made us feel far from God…

Good Morning, Dear Heavenly Father, and thank You for a new beautiful day… I come before You this morning broken…

Contrite.

I am so very thankful that I can share these feelings of remorse and sadness and know that in exchange You will fill me with peace.  Hope.  And comfort…

I love that…

There are so many things I am going through, Father, and to know that You are on my side, and always waiting for me with open arms, is such a huge joy…

May my day.  My words.  My relationships.  Be pleasing to You.

Thank You for the kindness of Your love that tells me I do not have to walk in shame or sorrow, but instead my spirit of brokenness is beautiful to You, because that is where You meet me…

I love You,

Jesus..

In Your Name, I pray,

Amen

“But then God our Savior showed us His kindness and Love.  He saved us not because of the good things we did; but because of His mercy.  He washed away our sins and gave us a new life through the Holy Spirit… He declared us not guilty because of His great kindness..”

Titus 3:4-7

Live in Love,

Lisa

Oh Lord, You are my solid foundation, and my rock…

I am so thankful I can enter Your gates, this new day; and find strength in the beauty of Your presence…

How I love that!

When I am feeling defeated…or Unsure of my direction.

This is the thought that runs through my mind…

“Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that He may lift you up in due time.  Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you…”

1 Peter 5: 6-7

I love this because it takes all of the pressure and strife off of my heart and mind.  It reminds me that I don’t have to be in control,

because I know the one who is..

I love love love this picture in my mind…

My God and my king standing before me,  His hand reaching out, I am on bended knees before Him.. Head down.  My heart finds peace…

He is my God.  The lover of my soul….

Dear Heavenly Father, I come before You this morning, thanking You that I can trust You with my heart.  As I come before You on bended knee, how awesome it is to feel Your presence and might taking my anxiety away, and replacing my thoughts with Your solid words of truth..

I find some much peace knowing that when I come before You, humbling myself.. Trusting that You are God and You care about me… My days are different, and I so thank You for that..

“Cast You anxiety on Him because He cares about You..”

Awesome…

I love You Jesus…

In Your Name I pray,

Amen

“Exalt the Lord our God! Bow low before His feet, for He is Holy..”

Psalm 99:5
