When 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,

“I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me.”

Proverbs 8:17

Sweet truth right there :)

Have a happy day!

“Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and lean not on your own understanding. 

In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your path straight…”

Proverbs 3:5

Trust.

It can make you feel so vulnerable, can’t it?

People have broken our trust…

We have broken trust…

That hurts :/

The only true and pure place to put our trust is in God’s love for us…

In my struggle for trust, I am learning that God is trustworthy.

He is my peace.

My safe place.

When I feel overwhelmed in making decisions, or consumed by worry, He is there to provide a gentle whisper of hope, and for that I am so grateful…

The freedom I get from wholeheartedly putting my trust in God alone is priceless..

Scary.

But priceless…

Not relying on someone, something, or even my own self is hard…

But it is the freedom to live.

I am learning  that putting my trust in people, or things; can be selfish, and even harmful..

Putting unrealistic expectations on others to make us happy, or putting pressure  on ourselves to make things happen, can take our  focus off of God’s love and plan for our lives…

We start over thinking or manipulating… uggg!

That’s a mess!!

“For the word of the Lord holds true,

and everything He does is worthy of our trust.

He loves whatever is just and good, and His unfailing love fills the earth…”

Psalm 33:4

Oh, Dear Lord,

Good Morning,

Keeping my eyes on You.

Knowing, and believing that Your word holds true, and everything You do is worthy of my trust relieves my heart so much.

I come before You, thanking You for such goodness and unfailing love…

While I can’t control the situations around my life, I can find my peace in Your great love.

And that is enough…

I give You my heart, please fill me with peace as I trust that You are making my path straight.

I love You,

In Jesus Name,

Amen

Live in Love,

Lisa

“But the Lord’s plans stand firm forever; His intentions can never be shaken..”

Psalm 33:11

Awesome, right!!!

“The Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life.  I will advise you and watch over you…”

Psalm 32:8

Oh, Dear Lord, the waiting is the hardest part..

As I come before You this beautiful and new day, how I pray for Your strength to fill my soul.

I open my hands in need of Your power, wisdom and guidance.

I will trust that You are guiding my path.

I will trust that You are advising me…

“For You are my hiding place; You protect me from trouble.

You surround me with songs of victory…”

Psalm 32: 7

And…

I will trust that You are surrounding me with songs of victory…

I love You,

In Jesus Name,

Amen

Live in Love,

Lisa

Shout for joy all you whose hearts are pure!”

You are sooo loved!

“I will praise You, Lord, for you have rescued me.  You refused to let my enemies triumph over me.”

Psalm 30:1-2

How I thank You, Oh Lord, for Your righteous right hand that covers my heart, and strengthens my knees…

“Oh, Lord, I cried out to you and You restored my heath.  You brought me up from the grave, Oh, Lord, You kept me from falling into the pit of death..”

Psalm 30: 2-3

My Abba, Father, my hearts melts with thankfulness, healing and hope… How I come before You fully  knowing, You, and You , alone; have restored my heart, and saved me from the pit of death.

You have prepared for me a home in heaven.

 With You…

For all eternity…

“Do not let your hearts be troubled.  Trust in God, trust also in me.  In my Father’s house there are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you.  I am going there to prepare a place for You…”

John 14: 1-2

My heart is overjoyed..

How I love You, Heavenly Father.

In Jesus Name,

I Pray,

Amen

Live in Love,

Lisa

Bask In His love for You, Dear Friend…

“You prepare a table for me I the presence of my enemies.  You anoint my head with oil, my cup overflows. 

Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever…”

Psalm 23:5-6

How awesome Is His love!!!

Right!!!

Have a happy day <3

God values and loves you.

He really does…

Though you may be surrounded by family or friends who love you…

There are those days when our hearts feel overwhelmed… Maybe God is calling you to sit with Him for awhile…

 So sit.

Close your eyes. Take a deep breath… and let it all out.

You have a friend in Him.

He wants to encourage you… bless you… value and love you!

Let Him…

Let Him.

Dear Heavenly Father,  Today I need to know you are near.  My heart feels overwhelmed.  I feel isolated and alone…

Am I walking in the right direction…

Oh, Lord, I call on Your name…

Please comfort and guide my steps.

How I thank You for loving me.  How I thank You for drawing me to sit awhile in Your presence… just letting the world slip away.

I lift my hands in holiness,  bless the Lord, Oh my soul…

My hand clings to Yours, as I fall on bended knee, and worship You on High…

Letting my mind quiet and my heart open wide… How I praise You, my Father in heaven…

“Praise the Lord, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise His holy name.  Praise the Lord, O, my soul and forget not all His benefits who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagles’..”

Psalm 103: 1-5

I trust in You Lord…

In Jesus Name,

Amen

Live in Love,

Lisa

“Lift your hands in holiness, and bless the Lord.”

Psalm 134:2

He’s got a plan, You are not alone :)

“When darkness overtakes the godly, light will come busting in…”

Psalm 112:10

Nothing that is going on in your life will overtake your heart…

“Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.”

Romans 12:12

He has your heart in His hands, and He will lead you through it…

Live in Love,

Lisa

“For the Lord God is our light and protector.  He gives us grace and glory.”

Psalm 84:11

God’s love and protection surrounds your heart.

When words aren’t enough.  When you are tempted to feel detached and broken…

Let God’s grace quite your mind, and comfort your soul.

He is protecting you, for His glory…

Let His grace flow.

“No good thing will the Lord withhold from those who do what is right.  O lord Almighty, happy are those who trust in You..”

Psalm 84: 12

Heavenly Father, I am trusting in You.  No good thing will you withhold from my heart and life.. I seek you with all of my heart, and lay my worries and fears at your feet.

Thank You for covering my heart and my thoughts with Your tender mercies and amazing grace…

I need You, and thank You for taking from me the things I cannot control, and filling me with more of You and less of me.

You are My God… My hope, and my refuge…

I give You may day, may You be glorified, and may I be covered by your power and majesty…

In Jesus Name, I pray,

Amen

Live in Love,

Lisa

“My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from Him.  He alone is my rock, and my salvation; He is my fortress, I will never be shaken..”

Psalm 62:1-2

Feel His power today… :)

Sweet Friend,

Be encouraged!

These words can be such a treasure, if we can take a minute to let the words penetrate our thoughts, I know our hearts will find comfort, and our minds will find rest.

“Let God have you, and let God love you… don’t be surprised if your heart begins to hear music you’ve never heard, and your feet learn to dance as never before…”

Dear Heavenly Father,

How I thank you for constantly reaching out to me..

Help me to trust in you with all of my heart, as I surrender my thoughts, anxiety, fears and decisions over to you. Will you please quiet my mind, help me to stop the reasoning, running, and overwhelming feeling to react, and in place of my thoughts, will  you  pierce my heart  with your peace that transcends all understanding…. I need your calming presence, thank you, Heavenly Father..

In Jesus Name,

Amen

May you breathe in His stillness, and rest in His care…

Live in Love

Lisa
