“The fear of human opinion disables;
    trusting in God protects you from that.”

Proverbs 29:25

People pleasing..

Approval…

Fear of what someone might think of me… can easily cripple me..

I love people..

But I need God more.

Being still.  Learning to let God in every crevasse of my being, fills me with truth…

strength and hope.

He is our true Refuge…

Our fortress when we are weak…

Oh, Dear Heavenly Father, turn our eyes toward You..

Help us to be true to Your voice in our lives…

Not tossed and turned by what other’s are doing…

Keep me safe.

Secure.

Walking in sync with Your truths that You so quietly whisper to our hearts…

I need Your approval flowing through my life…

You are my strong tower..

My refuge and strength.

May I walk confidently in Your truths..

May I listen expectantly for Your voice…

Thank You for keeping me safe…

In Jesus Name,

I pray,

Amen..

Live in Love,

Lisa

“I love Your sanctuary, Lord, the place where Your glory shines…”

Psalm 26:8

Praying over Your Sunday… May you feel the loving hand of God draw you near…

Live in Love,

 Speak words of love…Speak words of hope…

Speak words of goodness..

Words such as these have the power to heal broken hearts…

Find what is good, and be tender-hearted…

It’s good for the soul.

“Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable.  If anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things…”

Philippians 4:8

Good Morning Dear Heavenly Father, How I love and adore You… Your beauty and grace flood my heart with such light of goodness.. Please turn my eyes away from those things that do not praise or honor You…

Help me to be a woman after Your own heart.. that Your love would surround those in my home.. my work, and in my reach…

May Your love flow from my heart into my words… May my today be an overflow of Your goodness and grace..

How I love You, Jesus..

In Your name, I pray,

Amen

“I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live..”

Ecclesiastes 3:12

Dear Heavenly Father, Good morning, and thank You for Your beauty and grace…  I thank you for your love, and goodness.

How I Pray our hearts would be happy,

filled with hope, love for others, and truth.

Fill me, Oh, Lord, with courage, and abandon… that I wouldn’t miss an opportunity to be Your hands and feet.  That the people You bring on my path, would be comforted because I choose to seek You above all else…

May Your love burn within us… May that be our driving force.

I pray this in Jesus, Holy Name,

Amen

“Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him and He will do this: He will  make your righteousness shine like the dawn.”

Psalm 37: 5-6

“The people who influence us the most are not those who detain us with their continual talk, but hose who live their lives like the stars in the sky and  “the lilies of the filed” – simply and unaffectedly. 

Those are the lives that mold and shape us.

If You want to be of use to God, maintain the proper relationship with Jesus Christ by staying focused on Him, and He will make use of you every minute you live- yet you will be unaware, on the conscious level of your life, that you are being used by Him..”

Oswald Chambers.

My Utmost for His Highest

Sometimes it feels like the harder I try, the more I mess things up!

Letting His word dwell richly in my heart day by day is the only way I have discovered to live at peace with myself :)  Without God’s word penetrating my heart and mind regrets, and fear would surely take over!!!

He is for me, and He is for you!

Making a commitment to reading His word.

Will change your life…

That is God’s promise in the book of John…

He says…

“Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.”

John 15:5

Let His love little by little.. day by day.  Fill your heart.  Cover your regrets and transform your thinking…

Let His love cleanse your soul and nourish your heart.. that your life would be an overflow of His great love for those who are bleeding… covered in shame or filled with sorrow and pain…

“and He will make use of you every minute you live- yet you will be unaware, on the conscious level of your life, that you are being used by Him..”

That is the most wonderful life there is…

Live in Love,

Lisa

“God is within her, she will not fail.  God will help her at break of day..”

Psalm 46:5

What a sweet reminder of who we are in the heart; and hands of God…

No matter what you are going through today, my prayer is that God’s love, hope, and strength will set you apart, and give you the courage to live out loud.

That you will step away from the overwhelming feelings of self-condemnation, or fear, and run into the safety of Your mighty Father in Heaven who will not let you fail…

“Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord, Your God, is with you whenever you go..”

Joshua 1:9

Live in Love,

Lisa

“Then I realized how bitter I had become, how pained I had been by all I had seen.  I was foolish and ignorant.  I must have seemed like a senseless animal to you.  Yet I still belong to You; You are holding my right hand. 

You will keep on guiding me with Your glorious counsel, leading me to a glorious destiny.  Whom do I have in heaven but You?I desire You more than anything on earth..”

Psalm 73: 21-25

Ever felt like that?  I so have.  I couldn’t even read those words without crying…

Oh, Heavenly Father, how truly beautiful You are.  Pain, bitterness and sadness once consumed my heart… How thoughtful You are to stand by me…

The love you have shown me, melts my heart and consumes my soul…

How precious You are.

I  belong to You.. The God of the universe.. You hold my right hand, and continuously guide me with Your counsel…

Thank you for holding me close… Thank You for Your undeserving love and forgiveness that constantly washes over my life…

May my heart shine bright of the love You are…

May others be pierced by Your goodness… May they see You in me… May your love overflow with hope and courage…

Thank You for never giving up on me…

I love You, Jesus…

In Your Name, I pray,

Amen

Live in Love,

Lisa

“But as for me, how good it is to be near God!  I have made the Sovereign Lord my shelter, and I will tell everyone about the wonderful things YOU do..”
