Farewell to 2010 As 2010 turns its last page, it is natural to look back and see all that we accomplished during the year. As we do, let us not to forget to thank God that we made it to this point. There is nothing that happened or didn't happen(this past year) that God was not in control of. We are all so blessed to be here, praising God and reflecting; that alone is a blessing. I give glory and praise to our wonderful God as we leave 2010 and enter 2011. My prayer will always be for us to be wise stewards of our time here on earth; to love and serve our God; to love each other as God loves us; to bring forth peace and love and light to all creation. In Jesus' Name I ask. Amen Matthew 7:7 "Ask and you will receive. Seek and you will find. Knock and the door shall be opened to you." Matthew 8:13 "It shall be done because you trusted." PTL

Thank You, my Lord, for hope; for hope in a future that only You know. This hope You give, dear Jesus, is the gift of a new life with You, one I cherish always. I will glorify and praise Your Holy Name! Joy fills my heart as I contemplate my future with You; for You are the Way, the Truth and the Life. with You I have Love and Peace and the strength to follow You each day. All glory to You, Lord. Thank You Jesus, for Your love for me. Amen Hosea 12: 7 "You shall return by the help of your God if you remain loyal and do right and always hope in God." Sirach 2: 6 "Trust in God and He will help you; make straight your ways and hope in Him" PTL

Lord Jesus, I love You. Thank You for all my blessings. Help me to be a wise steward of my time; to serve You, to accomplish Your plan for my life each day. I look to You in each moment, Lord, for Your guidance, trusting that You will be with me, always, to guide my steps. In Your Name I pray, dear Jesus. Amen Psalm 139: 24 "See if my way is crooked and lead me in the way of old." Hosea 13: 4 "I am the Lord your God since before all time. You know no God besides Me and there is no Savior but Me" PTL

Thank You, Jesus for Your love for me. Thank You for the gift of my life. Help me to do and be what You intended for me, help me to do Your will. Thank You for all gifts You have bestowed on me(mine being the love for writing and music), keep me inspired and passionate to fulfill Your plan for me so I may give all glory and praise to You through my works. You know all my needs, Lord, You know my heart. I thank You for always being here for me. In Your Name I praise and glorify You Lord. Psalm 139:14 "I give You thanks that I am fearfully, wonderfully made; wonderful are Your works." PTL

Lord, on my journey, help me to keep my eyes on You, so I might serve You in all I do. Help me to be a wise steward of my time that You have given me. In Your name I ask, Dear Jesus. Amen Psalm 138 2, 8 "Because of Your kindness and Your truth; for You have made great above all things Your name and Your promise." "The Lord will complete what He has done for me; Your kindness, oh Lord, endures forever; forsake no the work of Your hands." Lord, I believe in You. I believe You are guiding my life and will answer my prayers according to Your will. I trust in You Lord, that You will fulfill Your promises and I shall glorify Your name. Thank You Jesus.

Lord Jesus, I praise You and thank You for all things. You alone are worthy. Help me to serve You, Lord. Lord, help me to be pure of heart, to love You with all my heart. I am nothing without You. In You, only, is my strength. I give You all praise and glory and thank You for loving me so much. Isaiah 43: 1-5 "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are Mine. When you pass through the water I will be with you; When you walk through fire you will not be burned; the flames shall not consume you. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy one of Israel, your Savior." Because you are precious in My eyes and glorious and because I love you." "Fear not, for I am with you." Thank You, Jesus. Psalm 138: 3 "When I called, You answered me. You built up strength within me." PTL

Praise You, Jesus, for the beauty of You; for Your love so true. Let all creation praise Your Name, give You glory every day. All the blessings that You give, help me use for You as I live. Unending peace and joy, with You; always will I be. Micah 7:7 "But as for me, I will look to the Lord, I will put my trust in God my Savior. My God will hear me." Hosea 6: 3, 6 "Let us know, let us strive to know the Lord." "For it is love that God desires, not sacrifice, and knowledge of God rather than holocausts." PTL

Lord, it is for You that I wait; for You that I long. Please bring me out of my desert, for Your glory Lord. Help me to serve only You, Lord and in doing this I will help to accomplish Your will for me. In Your Name I ask, Lord Jesus. Amen Psalm 135: 5-7 "For I know that the Lord is greater than all gods. All that the Lord wills, He does in heaven and on earth, in the seas and in all the deeps. He raises storm clouds from the end of the earth; with the lightening He makes the rain, He brings forth the winds from His storehouse." PTL

My prayer, Lord Jesus, is to see all through Your eyes. To love as You love, forgive as You do, to not self-seek or try to be what I am not; to always pray for the good of all and rejoice in all blessings You bestow on me and the world. Thank You, Jesus, for Your love for me and the whole world. In Your Name, dear Jesus, I pray. Amen Hosea 11: 1-4 "When you (Israel) were a child, I loved you. Out of (Egypt) I called you, but the more I called the farther you went. Sacrificing to Baal (worldly desire) and burning incense to idols. Yet it was I who taught you to walk, who took you in My arms. I drew you up with human cords, with bands of love. I fostered you like one who raises an infant to His cheeks. Yet, though I stooped to feed my child, you did not know I was your healer. Verses 8-11 "How could I give you up or deliver you up? My heart is overwhelmed, My pity stirred. I will not give vent to My anger, I will not destroy you again. For I am God and not man; the Holy One present among you. I will not let the flames consume you. We will follow You, Lord and You will resettle us in our homes." PTL

Thank You, Lord, for I am blessed. I give You all glory, Lord, for Your love for me. Daniel 14: 38, 41 "You have remembered me, Oh God, You have not forsaken those who love You." "You are great, oh Lord!" PTL

I trust in You, alone, Oh Lord. Your will be done. Daniel 13: 35, 42 "Through her tears, she looked up to heaven for she trusted in the Lord wholeheartedly." "Oh, eternal God, You know what is hidden and are aware of all things before they come to be."

Daniel 10:19 "Fear not, from the first day you made up your mind to acquire understanding and humble yourself before God, your prayer was heard." Things and people in our lives are constantly changing. There is only one certainty in life, and that is the love of God our Creator. God remains the same; it is we who change, through circumstance or trial, through choice and attitude. If you remember to look to God in all things, you would find a more even path, a peace within yourself in all you go through. Your way may not be less bumpy, but you will feel no need to try to control anything, as you know God is your center, your Rock. Keep your focus on Jesus, your Savior, and each moment will have a peace, a joy, and a purpose. Psalm 128: 1-2 "Happy are you who fear the Lord, who walk in His ways! For you shall eat the fruit of your handiwork; happy shall you be and favored." PTL

Lord help me to make the most of each day, to always look to serve you in all I do. Let my thoughts and actions be for the good of all and for Your glory Lord. Amen Daniel 3: 40 " So let our sacrifice be in Your presence today as we follow You unreservedly; for those who trust in You, Lord, cannot be put to shame." PTL

Dear Lord, forgive my wrongs and strengthen my faith and trust in You. Help me to always look only to You, Lord, for all my needs. I know You will guide and protect me each step of my way. In Your Name, Jesus, I ask. Amen Daniel 3: 37, 39, 40, 100 "For we are reduced, Oh Lord, beyond any other nation; brought low everywhere in the world this day because of our sins." "But with contrite heart and humble spirit, let us be received." "So let our sacrifice be in Your presence today as we follow You unreservedly; for those who trust in You, Lord, cannot be put to shame." "How great are His signs, how mighty His wonders; His kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom and His dominion endures through all generations." PTL

Daniel 2:20 "Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, for wisdom and power are His!" Lord, I know You can do all things. You fill me with Your love, peace and joy each moment I am with You, each moment I call out Your name. There is nothing without You, Lord, but with You is everything. All glory to You, Lord; I praise Your Holy name! Let the world be filled with Your joy, peace and love, so to bring glory to Your name! PTL

Isaiah 40 : 28-29 " Do you not know or have you not heard? The Lord is the eternal God, creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint nor grow weary, and His knowledge is beyond scrutiny. He gives strength to the fainting, for the weak He makes vigor abound. " Thank you, Lord, for giving me the strength, each day, to follow You; to fill me with Your grace to stand firm in my trust and belief in You, through all things. When others might look on and not see; I see. When I say I hear Your voice; yet to them it appears there is no sound; I know You are always here with me. I give You all praise and glory my Lord. You who say to me, always, "Fear not, I will help you." Isaiah 41:13 PTL

Lord, here I am; I await your call. Guide me to serve You in all I do. Daniel 3: 41-42 " And now we follow You with all our whole heart; we fear You and we pray to You. Do not let us be put to shame, but deal with us in Your kindness and mercy." Thank You, Jesus PTL

Mark 9 : 24 "Believe I do! Help my lack of trust!" Dear Jesus, forgive my doubt and lack of faith. Take away my fears. Though it appears to me, at times, that not much is being accomplished, help me to remember You are always in control. There are a lot of pieces to this puzzle(referred to as my life), and it is not, only, just about me. Everyone who is a piece to my puzzle, is also a puzzle on their own journey and it is according to Your will, Lord, of how and when You fit the pieces together. Allow me to be a properly fitting piece to the puzzle, Lord, by surrendering to Your will and serving You. In Your name I ask, dear Jesus. Amen Mark 10 : 27 "For man it is impossible, but not for God. With God all things are possible." PTL

Each time I start to have doubts, I close my mind to those thoughts and open my heart and soul to God. I feel God's love, I feel His peace and strength within me, the grace He bestows on me in the very moment I surrender to Him. I feel all barriers fall away and I know without a doubt that God is in control. Jesus says, "What is needed is trust." Trust in Him. Trust that God knows all, He knows best, and that God's love for us is real; God loves us so much. If we always remember this, especially through our trials, we will always have God's peace and strength to help us through. Trust in God. Psalm 121: 5-8 "The Lord is your guardian, the Lord is your shade; He is beside you at your right hand. The sun shall not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will guard you from all evil; He will guard your life. The Lord will guard your coming and your going, both now and forever." PTL

Each day we need only to try our best in serving God. God only wants our best, and because we love Him, we give our best. Michah 7:7 "But as for me, I will look to the Lord. I will put my trust in God my Savior; my God will hear me." Psalm 119: 165 "Those who love Your law have great peace; and for them there is no stumbling block." PTL

Lord, you alone are Holy and Good. There is no one or anything that is greater than You. You have a love for all creation and mankind that surpasses any knowledge. I give You all glory, Lord, that You are with me. God Bless the World. In Your name Jesus, I ask. Amen Psalm 40: 17 "May all who seek You exalt and be glad in You; and may those who love Your salvation say ever, "The Lord be glorified".

Every day praise God for His goodness; for God is good. He is so good to us; He loves us so much! Thank You for loving me Lord. Psalm 119 : 92-94 "Had not Your law been my delight, I should have perished in my affliction. Never will I forget Your precepts, for through them You give me life. I am Yours, save me." PTL

I praise You Lord for all You do. I thank You Lord for my love of music and writing; to me, these are the most wonderful gifts You could have bestowed on me. Help me to use my gifts to glorify You, Lord. I Love You, Jesus! Thank You for filling me with Your peace and joy! PTL Psalm 119: 65-66 " You have done good to Your servant, oh Lord, according to Your word; teach me Your wisdom and knowledge for in your commands I trust."

Thank You, Lord for Your forgiveness of our wrongs; help me to always forgive those who wrong me. Thank You for Your grace that You give me to allow me to do this. Love and forgiveness help us to always stay on our path with our Lord. In Your Name Jesus I pray. Amen. Psalm 119: 73-77 "(Lord) give me discernment that I may learn Your commands. Those who fear You shall see me and be glad, because I hope in Your Word. I know, oh Lord, that Your ordinances are just and in Your faithfulness You have afflicted me. Let Your kindness comfort me according to Your promise to your servants. Let Your compassion come to me that I may live." Thank You Jesus.

I am so blessed to have God in my life, to be aware that God is my creator and loves me very much. I offer this prayer for everyone, that they know God as their one true Lord, their salvation, their hope. In Jesus Name I pray. Amen Psalm 119 49-50 " Remember Your word to Your servant; since You have given me hope. My comfort in my affliction is that Your promise gives me life." PTL

All the words of the Psalmist in Psalm 119 are such powerful prayer requests to our Lord. I trust and believe in God's promises to us, Psalm 119 (in part) "Make me understand" "Instruct me" "Give me discernment" "Incline my heart to Your ways" "Lead me in the path of Your commands" All these prayers God will answer with His love, peace, and joy, for His salvation within our life. PTL

Psalm 117 Alleluia! "Praise the Lord all you nations, glorify Him all you peoples! For steadfast is the kindness toward us, and the fidelity of the Lord endures forever." PTL

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! Praise God for all of our blessings! I am so thankful for everything God has blessed me with. I love you, Lord! PTL

My inspiration was dwindling. I could not "feel" God. With so many hours spent in prayer and conversations with God, well now, where did He go? I was doubting all I had been doing...wondering, "why?" With all the talks of "Praise the Lord" and "gratitude for everything", why, now, did I feel neglected? What was I doing wrong? I was witnessing big and small miracles in people's lives of whom Iwas praying for, yet I was still battling the "demons" in my own life. How could this be? What kind of testimony was I to my Lord? It was time for some serious prayer...So I prayed...for myself...for days...but God was not "showing up", or so I thought...Until today...when, in God's time, not my own I heard His voice within my soul..speaking to my heart.

Conversation With God

Ezekiel 2 : 10

"Take My words into your heart, all My words that I speak to you; hear them well."

Help me to follow You Lord; only Your will not mine be done. This is very difficult, Lord. I am trying to open my eyes and ears to You, Lord; help me.

Psalm 116 : 1-4

" I love the Lord because He has heard my voice in supplication. Because He has inclined His ear to me the day I called. The cords of death encompassed me; the snares of the nether world seized upon me; I fell into distress and sorrow, and I called upon the Name of the Lord; "Oh Lord, save my life!"

Lord Jesus, I praise You and I thank You for all things. Lord I surrender all I am to You; all my guilt, all my shame, all my weaknesses, all my pain. Because of the grace You give to me, I believe that I am made new and I will reside in your love and peace eternally. I lay all I am and all I do at the foot of Your cross, dear Jesus; I surrender myself to You. In Your name, Jesus, I pray. Amen.

Dear Jesus, help me to follow You; to follow Your ways, so that Your mercy will always be upon me. When I stumble, You will pick me up; if I stray You will gently guide me back to You. Lord, I claim all Your wonderful promises for my life if I follow You and keep Your Will.

" Repent and be saved! Accept My Holy Spirit and know we are one. Live by My light and see how much I love you. You will not stray if you always look to Me. Your life may not always be easy, but I will always be here for you. Do as I say and walk with Me. Shed no more tears, feel My joy. Share My joy with all whom I send to you. I love you so much! All those times you cried and told Me how much you love Me, I was holding you and crying so much more, because I felt your pain. (Daughter), you are forgiven, please believe, walk on; with faith in the love and peace I offer you; gifts I freely give to you, always. Please cry no more over your sins, I have forgiven you. I love you. Stay with Me; stay with Me."

Jesus, I love You. You know my heart. I am nothing without You. Help me to serve You always; I want for nothing else. I am here Lord, I am here. I am so very thankful Lord! I give You all praise and glory! Praise the Lord!

Lord, open my heart to You; open my eyes and ears to Your will. Ezekiel 2: 10 "Take My words into your heart, all My words that I speak to you; hear them well." PTL

Surrender to God in all things; that is what God asks us to do. John 5: 30 "Because I am not seeking My own will but the will of Him who sent Me." John 6: 28 "Because it is not to do My own will that I came down from heaven, but to do the will of Him who sent Me." PTL

Psalm 37: 5-7 "Commit to the Lord your way, trust in Him and He will act. He will make justice dawn for you like the light, bright as noon day will be your vindication. Leave it to the Lord and wait for Him." PTL

Happy birthday and all God's Blessings to my grandson, Elijah. Lord, in times of stillness, strengthen my faith and trust in You. Fill me with Your peace of knowing You are always with me. In Your name I ask, dear Jesus. Amen. Psalm 109: 1, 21, 22, 30 "Oh God, whom I praise, be not silent." "For I am wretched and poor and my heart is pierced within me." "In Your generous kindness rescue me." "I will speak my thanks earnestly to the Lord, and in the midst of the throng I will praise Him." PTL

Lord, help me to accept forgiveness. My wrongs need not always be before me. Through Your death and resurrection, Jesus, I am forgiven. I am not worthy, yet You love me that much. I give You all praise and glory, Lord. Baruch 3:12-13, 15, 31-32 "You have forsaken the fountain of Wisdom! Had you walked in the way of God, you would have dwelt in enduring peace." "Who has found the place of Wisdom (Lord), who has entered into Her treasures?" "No one knows the way to Wisdom, nor has any understood her paths. Yet He who knows all, knows Her." God, only, knows Wisdom, and gives Wisdom as a gift, in a moment of truth; not to keep, but to accomplish His will and bring glory to His name. Wisdom is spoken through those who have surrendered their will to God, who follow God's ways, who fear the Lord, and revel in God's awesomeness; to those who listen for His voice. PTL

Psalm 139: 1-14 "Oh Lord, You have probed me and You know me You know when I sit and when I stand You understand my thoughts from afar My journeys and my rest You scrutinize with all my ways You are familiar. Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, oh Lord, you know the whole of it. Behind me and before, you hem me in and rest Your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; too lofty for me to attain. Where can I go from Your Spirit? From Your presence where can Iflee? If I go up to the heavens, You are there. If I sink to the nether world, You are present there. If I take the wings of the dawn, if I settle at the farthest limits of the sea, even there, Your Hand shall guide me, and Your right Hand hold me fast. If I say, "surely the darkness shall hide me, and night shall be my light," For You darkness itself is not dark, and night shines as the day. {darkness and light are the same} Truly You have formed my inmost being; You knit me in my mother's womb. I give You thanks that I am fearfully and wonderfully made, wonderful are Your works!" PTL

God is always with us..Always. Even when we feel alone or struggling...it is at those times God is holding us in the palm of His hand. I love the poem of footprints in the sand: "The Lord said that when there was only one set of footprints is when He carried us." Psalm 107: 28, 30 "They cried to the Lord in their distress, from their straights He rescued them" "They rejoiced that they were calmed and He brought them to their desired haven." PTL

Oh Lord, though sometimes we turn away from You, You are always waiting for our return. How great are You, Lord! How wonderful You are! We always need You Lord! Lamentations 1:1 "How lonely is she now, the once crowned city widowed is she who was mistress over nations the princess among provinces has been made a toiling slave." Forgive our sins, Lord; we are desolate without You. Keep us in Your presence always. Lamentations 1:2 "Bitterly she weeps at night, tears upon her cheeks with no one to console her of all her dear ones; her friends have all betrayed her and become her enemies" Lord you are all we need. Help us to serve you for Your glory, Lord. Fill our hearts and souls with Your joyful song, Your calming peace. Lamentations 1: 3 "The favors of the Lord are not exhausted; His mercies are not spent. They are renewed each morning, so great is His faithfulness. My portion is the Lord, says my soul; therefore, I will hope in Him." PTL

Oh, Lord, renew my faith within me, daily, as I follow You on my journey. I praise You, Lord. Psalm 100:1-2 "Sing joyfully to the Lord all you lands; serve the Lord with gladness; come before Him with joyful song." PTL

Lord, keep my heart and mind on You; my spirit resting within You. Please do not allow earthly concerns to cause me to stray from You. Help me to always follow You, Lord. In Your Name I ask, Jesus. Amen Psalm 99: 8-9 " Oh Lord, our God, You answered them; a forgiving God You were to them though requiting their misdeeds. Extol the Lord our God and worship at His Holy mountain, for Holy is the Lord our God" PTL

Lord Jesus, strengthen my faith and trust in You. Let me not be discouraged when I feel I am not accomplishing anything. Allow me to focus only on You, Lord, and know by doing this, I am accomplishing Your will for me. Help me to always keep a mind and heart of service to You Lord. In Your Name, Jesus, I ask. Amen Psalm 98: 3 "God has remembered His kindness and His faithfulness." Psalm 99: 2-3 "The Lord is great; He is high above all peoples. Let them praise Your great and awesome Name! Holy is He! PTL

Lord, You alone are worthy. Help me to trust and believe that You are guiding me on my journey. Help me to surrender to Your will, Lord. Psalm 97: 10 "The Lord guards the lives of His faithful ones; from the hand of the wicked He delivers them." I am waiting on You, Lord; Your will be done. Please help me to stay on my path with You. In Your Name I pray, dear Jesus. Amen Psalm 97: 12 "Be glad in the Lord you just, and give thanks to His Holy Name." PTL

God's blessings to a very special friend of mine on his birthday today. Lord, You know my heart, truly what is in my heart. You know all I need. I offer myself to You, Lord, though I am not worthy, allow me to serve You. Teach me Your will, Lord, show me the way I should go. In Your Name, dear Jesus, I ask. Amen Psalm 96: 1-3 "Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord all you lands. Sing to the Lord bless His Name. Announce His salvation day after day. Tell His glory among the nations, among all peopls, His wonderous deeds." Thank You Jesus. Your will be done.

Jeremiah 46: 27, 28 "Fear not; be not dismayed- behold I will deliver you- you shall again find rest. Be tranquil and undisturbed- never fear, says the Lord, for I am with you." Thank You, Lord, for Your comfort and promises. I praise You, Lord.

Lord, help me to open my ears to Your words, open my eyes to the path You want me on. Help me to open my heart to Your love and all Your promises, Lord. In Your Name, Jesus, I pray. Bless my Mom and Dad as my Mom goes through health screenings. Hold them in the palm of Your hand, dear Lord. Amen Michah 7: 7 "But as for me, I will put my trust in God my Savior." Psalm 94: 12, 17- 19 "Happy the one whom You instruct, oh Lord, whom by Your law You teach." "Were not the Lord my help, I would soon dwell in the silent grave. When I say, "my foot is slipping" Your kindness, oh Lord sustains me; when cares abound within me, Your comfort gladdens my soul." PTL

My prayer, Lord, is to always remain in Your presence, praising You and glorifying You. Lord, how can I be faithful to You if I only come around when I want something or when things aren't going right? I want to be with You, always, Lord, in peace and joy and love, so that in times of trial, I do not have to reach for You; You are already with me. In Your Name, Jesus, I ask. Amen Thank You Lord. Lamentations 3: 25-26 "Good is the Lord to one who waits for Him; to the soul that seeks Him. It is good to hope in silence for the saving help of the Lord." PTL

Thank You for your love, dear Lord. Thank you for Your kindness and faithfulness to Your wonderful promises You give to me. I give you all praise and glory in all I do..in all I am. I Love You, Jesus! Psalm 92: 2, 5 "It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praise to your Name Most high." "For you make me glad, oh Lord, by Your deeds, at the works of Your hands I rejoice." PTL

I must always trust in the Lord. Though I cannot see the way I am going, I must have faith in God to know that He is truly guiding me. In each moment I will look to God for His guidance, His will for my life. I am trusting You, Lord. In Your Name, Jesus, I ask. Amen Psalm 40: 2-4, 5, 6 "I have waited and waited for the Lord and He stooped toward me and heard my cry. He drew me out of the pit of destruction, out of the mud of the swamp. He set my feet upon a crag, He made firm my steps and put a new song into my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many shall look on in awe and trust in the Lord." "Happy those who make the Lord their trust!" "Oh Lord my God, Your wondrous deeds, and in Your plans for us there is none to equal You!" PTL

Lord, I praise You, I love You. Keep me always close to You. In times of challenges, at times when my faith wanes, help me to stay close to You. Help me not to stray. In Your Name, Jesus, I ask. Amen. Psalm 90: 12, 17 "Teach us to number our days aright that we may gain wisdom of heart." "Prosper the work of our hands." "Prosper the work of our hands" PTL

Oh Lord, when I begin to fear, remind me to turn to You, For with You, there is no fear. Help me to trust in You, Lord, when I cannot see the next step I am to take. Jeremiah 29: 13 "Yes, when you seek Me,with all your heart, you will find Me with you." Psalm 86: 2 "Keep my life, Lord, for I am devoted to You; save Your servant who trusts in You." Jeremiah 30: 10 " Fear not. says the Lord- be not dismayed." Thank you Jesus

I want to give glory and praise to my wonderful Lord who allowed Elizabeth and I to, finally, get our second song done. PTL "Hurt So Bad" is now up and running on our my space page! And my heart overflows with joy and gladness to announce that my newest book "Forgiveness, Healing and Love" is now available on Amazon.com Kindle ebooks. All glory to my beautiful Lord. Thank You, Jesus! I love You!

Lord, help me to always look to You for guidance, for then I know my path will be straight. Thank you, Lord. Psalm 86: 16-17 "Turn toward me, oh Lord, and have pity on me; give strength to Your servant." "Grant me a proof of Your favor, that my enemies may see, to their confusion, that You have helped and comforted me." In Jesus' name I ask. Amen PTL

Psalm 42:6 "Hope in God, for again I shall be thanking Him in the presence of my Savior and my God." When we hope and trust in God, many promises await us. I feel such excitement and anticipation because I know God keeps His promises to those who follow Him. Promises of peace, joy, love, abundance, and so much more. Praise the Lord! Psalm 84: 12 "The Lord withholds no good thing from those who walk in sincerity. Oh Lord of Hosts, happy those who trust in You!" PTL

Philippians 1: 9 "My prayer is that your love may more and more abound, both in understanding and wealth of experience, so that with a clear conscience and blameless conduct you may learn to value the things that really matter most." Psalm 84: 13 "Happy the one who trusts in the Lord." Thank You Jesus, for Your Love, for Your Holy Word. Keep my faith and trust in You, strong, so I may walk my path with You. In Your Name I ask, Jesus. Amen PTL

With God all things are possible. We know this. Why, then, in times of trials, do we doubt? Trust in God, always. He will come through, He is always near. Jeremiah 18: 15 "They stumble out of their ways the paths of old, to travel on bypaths, not the beaten track." Lord, give me the strength to stay on the path with You. Show me how to live in Your ways. Psalm 81:8, 14 "In distress you called, and I rescued you. Unseen, I answered you in thunder." "If only My people would hear Me and walk in My ways." Thank You, Lord.

With You, Lord, is where I want to be. You are my one true joy, a perfect love. You fill my heart with peace and understanding. Without You, Lord, the world is a cold lonely place. In the warmth of Your light is where I want to be. Jeremiah 15: 20 "For I am with you to deliver and rescue you, says the Lord." PTL

Wisdom 3:9 "Those who trust in God shall understand truth and the faithful shall abide with Him in love." Strengthen my faith and trust in You, Lord, for I want to, always, be in Your presence. I give You all praise and glory. In Your Name, I ask, dear Jesus." Amen. PTL You know what my grandson said to me yesterday? (he's almost 5) He said, "Nana, I really like to say "Amen"!" I say Amen, Hallelujah. Praise the Lord! :-)

Help me, Jesus, on my journey with You. Help me to always keep my eyes and heart on You. In Your name I ask, dear Jesus. Amen Thank You. Micah 7: 7 "But as for me, I will look to the Lord; I will put my trust in God my Savior." PTL

Lord Jesus, I put my trust in You, in all things. Especially in times of trial, when my faith grows weak, You can make me strong. Thank You for Your reassuring love and peace that lets me know You are always here. Thank You Jesus. Psalm 73: 23-24, 26 "Yet, with You I shall always be; You have hold of my right hand. With Your counsel, guide me in glory." "God is the Rock of my heart!" Jeremiah 12: 3 " You, oh Lord, know me. You have found that, at heart, I am with You." PTL

Psalm 73: 1-2 "How good God is to the upright, the Lord to those who are clean of heart.! But as for me, I almost lost my balance; my feet all but slipped." Thank You, Lord, for Your constant guidance in keeping me on my path with You. Help me to, always, keep my trust in only You. Forgive my weaknesses. In Your Name I ask, Dear Jesus. Amen PTL

God doesn't always answer our prayers when we want Him to. This is when we show God that we trust Him completely and wait patiently. After all, God knows our hearts better than we do, He knows our needs. Psalm 37: 3 "Trust in the Lord and do good, that you may dwell in the land and enjoy security." PTL

Thank You, Jesus, for Your love and forgiveness. Forgive my shortcomings and weaknesses. Thank You for all my blessings. In Jesus' Name I pray. Psalm 70:6 "But I am afflicted and poor; oh God hasten to me! You are my help and my deliverer; Oh Lord, hold not back." PTL

My heart and soul are longing for You, Lord, though all my weaknesses are near. Your gentle hand holds me up, so that I may not fall. I trust in You, Lord, to keep me close to You. You're all I need to get me through. Jeremiah 3:22 " Return, rebellious children, and I will cure you of your rebelling. Here we are, we now come to You, because You are the Lord our God." Psalm 68:20 "Blessed day by day be the Lord who bears our burdens; God who is our salvation. God is a saving God for us." PTL

God Bless my Mom and Dad on their 55th Wedding Anniversary! PTL I remember, not long ago, when I thought that to follow Jesus I had to give up everything I had. I did not know how to do that and because there were certain things in my life that I felt I could not give up or did not know how to give up, it kept me from fully committing myself to Him. But then I heard that Jesus wants us to "come as we are". We need only come to Him with the willingness to surrender to His Will. That no matter what want, "Your will be done Lord." You know what is best for me, You know my heart, You know my needs. You also know that without You, I am nothing and you wait patiently for me to realize and surrender to this, however long it takes. It is then that you can step in and take over my life to accomplish Your will through me. It is then that I experience all the wonderful promises of love and abundance You have for Your people. We must surrender daily, and more so, when we find ourselves trying to take back control. Lord Jesus, I praise You for Your love for me and give You glory in Your Will. I love You, Jesus. PTL

I want to say "Praise the Lord!" I just published my first book on Amazon.com Kindle. It is a book of poetry. I give all Glory to God for making this posssible for me. God held my hand, step by step to accomplish this. I know God will help me sell the books. Isaiah 66: 12 "Lo, I will spread prosperity over her like a river." Praise God! All Glory to my Lord!

When I am troubled with situations that I feel I want to control, I always turn them over to God. I know God is always in control, and we only suffer more when we try to "grab the wheel." If you ever find yourself in a situation where you think to yourself, "I just don't know what to do about this!", then recognize that you are trying to control it. If you want to try to help, pray for God's guidance and pray to serve God in the situation. He will answer your prayer. Jeremiah 13: 15-17 "Give ear, listen humbly, for the Lord speaks. Give Glory to the Lord your God, before it grows dark; Before your feet stumble on darkening mountains, before the light you look for turns to darkness, changes into black clouds. If you do not listen to this in your pride, I will weep in secret many tears; My eyes will run with tears for the Lord's flock, led away to exile." This is God's Word. 2 Corinthians 12 : 7-10 " I was given a thorn in the flesh, an angel of Satan to beat me and keep me from getting proud. Three times I begged the Lord that this might leave me. He said to me, "My grace is enough for you, for in weakness power reaches perfection." And so I willingly boast of my weaknesses instead, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I am content with weakness, with mistreatment, with distress, with persecutions and difficulties for the sake of Christ, for when I am powerless, it is then that I am strong." I heard a radio show that talked about this scripture; they said that it was never disclosed as to what Paul's "affliction" was. Only that God chose not to take it from him, so as to keep him realizing that without God, he amounted to nothing, but that thru God he could do ALL things. We only have to admit to God that we cannot make it without Him, that our lives are worthless without God as the master of our life. We cannot do this without God...we cannot even admit our weaknesses to God without completely surrendering to Him. But when we do surrender, and ask God to take control of ALL areas of our life, you can be GUARRENTEED that God will NOT abandon you. He promises this to us. The book of Jeremiah is excellent for seeing God's promise to deliver us and not abandon us. It is only our refusal to acknowledge and really trust God, that keeps us separated from Him. Jeremiah 2: 19 "Your own wickedness chastises you, your own infidelities punish you." (isn't that amazing?? God does not punish us...we do it to ourselves!) Jeremiah 1: 19 "for I am with you to deliver you, says the Lord." Jeremiah 4:: 1 "Return to me, says the Lord." Jeremiah 4: 18 " Your conduct, your misdeeds, have done this to you; how bitter is this disaster of yours, how it reaches to your very heart!" Jeremiah 8: 18 "My grief is incurable, my heart within me is faint." Jeremiah 15: 16 "When I found Your words, I devoured them; they became my joy and the happiness of my heart." Jeremiah 15: 19-21 " If you repent, so that I restore you, in My presence you shall stand; If you bring forth the precious without the vile, you shall be my mouthpiece. Then it shall be they who turn to you and you shall turn to them;" " I will free you from the hand of the wicked and rescue you from the grasp of the violent." Jeremiah 17: 14 " Heal me that I may be healed; save me that I may be saved, for it is You (Lord) whom I praise."

Lord, You alone know our hearts. Keep us always close to You, with hearts of pure intentions. Thank You for my quiet time spent with You, Lord. In these times, I can truly hear Your voice leading me. Thank You Lord. Psalm 66: 10 " For You have tested us, Oh God, You have tried us as silver is tried by fire." Psalm 51 : 12-14 " A clean heart create for me , Oh God, and a steadfast spirit renew within me. Cast me not out from Your presence and Your Holy Spirit take not from me. Give me back the joy of Your salvation and a willing spirit sustain in me." Psalm 6:10 " The Lord has heard my plea, the Lord has answered my prayer." PTL

Lord help me to always be faithful to You, in all things. Help me to seek You, first, in all I do, to be sure I am following You. In Your Name I ask, Dear Jesus. Amen Isaiah 64:3 "No ear has ever heard, no eye has ever seen, any God but You, doing such deeds for those who wait for Him." Psalm 64: 16, 20 " Hear now, all you who fear God, while I declare what He has done for me!" "Blessed be God who refused me not my prayer or His kindness." Thank You Jesus! PTL I am blessed.

What is fear? It is considered a negative emotion, for the most part. Though in reference to our "fear of God" I choose to look at this positively. One definition of fear is : "a feeling of deep reverential awe." That can define my "fear of God". God is our all powerful Creator and is deserving of our complete love, our "everything we are, everything we do." He alone is worthy of our soul, our love. No one else, nothing else, should keep us, or take us out of His presence. If you are within the presence of God, no fear exists, it is only another word. God is love and Love is stronger than any other emotion, if you trust God. "Everything is possible to one who trusts God." Mark 9:23 Matthew 6:19-34 " I warn you then, do not worry about your livelihood, what you are to eat or drink, or use for clothing. Is not life more than food? Is not the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the sky. They do not sow or reap, they gather nothing into barns. Are not you more important than they? Which of you by worrying can add a moment to your life-span? As for clothes, why be concerned? Learn a lesson from the way the wild flowers grow. They do not work, they do not spin. Yet I assure you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was arrayed like one of these. If God can clothe in such splendor, the grass of the field, which blooms today and is thrown on the fire tomorrow, will He not provide much more for you? Oh weak in faith! Stop worrying then over questions like, "what are we to eat, or what are we to drink, or what are we to wear?' The unbelievers are always running after these things. Your heavenly Father knows all that you need. Seek first His kingship over you, His way of holiness and all these things will be given you besides. Enough, then, of worrying about tomorrow. Let tomorrow take care of itself. Today has troubles enough of its own." Verse 21 " Remember, where your treasure is, there your heart is also." Thank You, Jesus.

Forgiveness is love. Patience is love. Understanding is love. Fulfillment is love. Sharing is love. Love is the greatest gift of all. "The gift you have received, give as a gift" Matt 10:8 Acts 1:4-5 "Wait for the fulfillment of My Father's promise, of which you have heard me speak. John baptized with water, but within a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit." Acts 10:43 "To Him all the prophets testify, saying that everyone who believes in Him has forgiveness of sins through His name." Romans 5:7-8 "It is rare that anyone should lay down his life for a just man, though it is barely possible that for a good man someone may have the courage to die. It is precisely in this that God proves His love for us, that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." PTL

Lord fill me with Your patient endurance as I walk my path with You. Keep me within Your presence so Your light may shine through me. In Your Name I ask, dear Jesus. Amen TYJ Psalm 61 2-3, 5, 9 "Hear, Oh God, my cry, listen to my prayer! From the earths end I call to You as my heart grows faint." "Oh, that I might lodge in Your tent forever, take refuge in the shelter of Your wings." "So will I sing the praises of Your Name forever, fulfilling my vows day by day." PTL

In memory of my wonderful Aunt Mary Jo. I love you. Rest in Peace. Isaiah 60: 20 "For the Lord will be your light forever, and the days of your mourning shall be at an end." PTL

Help me to love as You love, Lord. Help me to see others as You see them. In Your name I ask, dear Jesus. Amen Isaiah 58: 2, 7, 13, 9, 10, 11 " They seek Me(the Lord) day after day and desire to know My ways." "Share with the hungry, shelter the homeless, cloth the naked, not turning your back on your own." "Remove all oppression from your midst, false accusation and malicious speech." " If you honor (the sabbath) by not following your ways, seeking your interests, or speaking with malice, then you shall delight in the Lord." "Then when you call, the Lord will answer, you shall cry for help and He will say, "Here I am!" "Then light shall rise for you in the darkness." "Then the Lord will guide you always." PTL

Through Your forgiveness, Lord, we receive Your peace. Your words to us are: Forgive and you will be forgiven; do not judge and you will not be judged; love and you will be loved. (Matthew 6: 14 and 7:1, 12) Isaiah 57: 18-19 " I saw their ways, but I will heal them and lead them. I will give full comfort to them, I the Creator who gave them life. Peace, Peace to the far and near, says the Lord. I will heal them." PTL

I am not worthy, Lord, yet You promise me eternity with You. From Your death on the cross comes salvation to all who believe in You. I thank You for Your love, Lord Jesus. Psalm 56: 9 "My wanderings you have counted; my tears are stored in Your flask; are they not recorded in Your book?" vs 11-12 "In God, in whose promise I glory, in God I trust without fear." PTL

My prayer, Lord, is for You to change our hearts to flesh. Open our hearts and minds to Your compassion, Your love, and peace. Fill us with Your grace, so that we may carry Your light out into the world. In Your name, Jesus, I ask this. Amen. All glory to You, Lord Jesus. Ezekiel 11:19 " I will give them a new heart and put a new Spirit within them." Jeremiah 24:7 "I will give them a heart with which to understand that I am Lord." PTL

How can I not forever give You praise, my Lord? How can I not continually glorify Your Name? Your love, Dear Lord, is greater than the Universe, greater than anything imaginable. I am so small, yet You love me with Your great Love. My heart and soul proclaim Your greatness, Lord, all the days of my life. I am not worthy, Lord, I bow before You and forever give You thanks. Thank You, Jesus. Isaiah 53; 4-5 " Yet it was our infirmities that He bore, our sufferings that He endured. While we thought of Him as stricken, as one smitten by God and afflicted. But He was pierced for our offenses, crushed for our sins. Upon Him was the chastisement that makes us whole, by His stripes, we were healed."

It is very exciting living each day with God. The promises of love, peace, joy, abundance, and mostly, eternal life with God, that He gives us, if we follow Him, are wonderful gifts. All these gifts are promised to us if we trust and believe in God. Praise God Isaiah 52: 13 " See my servant shall prosper, he shall be raised high and greatly exalted." Matthew 9: 29 " Because of your faith, it shall be done to you." Mark 11: 22 "Put your trust in God." Matthew 19: 29 "Everyone who has given up home, brothers, sisters, father, mother, wife or children, or property for my sake, will receive many times as much and inherit everlasting life." PTL

Whether we acknowledge it or not, forgiveness is a huge part of Love. Through forgiveness we find peace and joy. It is when you forgive and accept forgiveness, that you can be open to all God's blessings. PTL Psalm 51: 3-4 " Have mercy on me, Oh God, in Your goodness; in the greatness of Your compassion wipe out my offense. Thoroughly wash me from my guilt and of my sin cleanse me." In Jesus name I pray. Amen PTL Teach me how to truly forgive, Lord. Teach me how to forgive others, but mostly how to forgive myself. Psalm 51: 8 "Behold, You are pleased with sincerity of heart, and in my inmost being You teach me wisdom." Thank you Lord

God asks only thanks and praise from us; a humble attitude in giving glory to God. Psalm 50: 14 " Offer to God praise as your sacrifice and fullfill your vows to the Most High. Then call upon Him in time of distress and He will rescue you and you shall glorify Him." Psalm 51:17 "Oh, Lord, open my lips and my mouth shall proclaim Your praise."

One of the most beautiful passages in the bible is in the new testament where Jesus gives sight to the blind man who had been blind since birth. After Jesus had given him sight, he came in search of Jesus to thank Him. John 9: 35-38 "Jesus said to him, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?" The man replied, "who is He, sir, that I may believe in Him?" Jesus told him, "You have seen Him. He is speaking to you now." And the man said, "I do believe, Lord!" Oh Lord, I believe! Help my unbelief! Isaiah 49: 23 "Then you shall know that I am the Lord and those who hope in Me shall never be disappointed." Thank You, Jesus! PTL

My hope is in my God who made heaven and earth. There is no other God but Him. He leads me on the way I should go, He makes smooth my path. I shall proclaim His Glory all the days of my life, for His mercy endures forever. His love for me is a perfect love, the only love I need. So I give Him everything, all I am and all I do. Lord Jesus, I bow before You, I love you so. I will wait for You, Lord, all the days of my life. All my cares and hopes and dreams I lay before You, fill me with Your grace. In Your Name I ask, Dear Jesus. Amen. Thank You, Lord.

Thank You, Lord Jesus, for dying for my sins and rising for my salvation and everlasting life with You. Covered in Your blood, shielded by Your Name, and wrapped in Your love, I am saved. PTL Luke 10: 23 "Blest are the eyes that see what you see." Luke 12: 46 " I have come to the world as it's light, to keep anyone who believes in Me from remaining in the dark." Praise God!

I look to You continuously, Lord, in guiding me on my journey with You. Bless my journey with You. In Your name, Jesus, I ask. Amen. Isaiah 46: 10-11 " I say that My plan shall stand; I accomplish My every purpose." " Yes, I have spoken. I will accomplish it. I have planned it, I will do it." PTL! Is God's Word powerful? AMEN!

Patience. It is in God's time, not ours. It is for us to give glory to God in all things. PTL Isaiah 44: 21-22 " I formed you to be a servant to Me; you shall never be forgotten. I have brushed away your offenses like a cloud, your sins like a mist. Return to Me- for I have redeemed you." Always in Your presence, Lord, we will be safe. Psalm 46 :6 " God is in our midst; we shall not be disturbed." PTL

Thank You, so much, dear Jesus, for my time with You. You are my strongest craving. You are my living water. In You, I shall not thirst; with You, I shall be refreshed. Daily, I confirm my faith and trust in You, Lord Jesus. Unceasingly I pray, and give thanks to Your Holy Name. I love You, Lord Jesus! In Your Name, dear Jesus, I pray. Amen Isaiah 44: 3 "I will pour out water upon a thirsty ground and streams upon a dry land." PTL

In times of trouble, in times of doubt as to where you might be going or if you are on the right path, God will comfort you through His word. He will fill you with the peace that only He can give and remind you that He is always with you to show you the way. PTL Isaiah 43:1-5 "Fear not for I have redeemed you- I have called you by name, you are Mine. When you pass through the water, you shall not drown. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned; the flames shall not consume you. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy one of Israel, your savior. Because you are precious in My eyes and glorious, and because I love you." "Fear not, for I am with You." Thank You Jesus

Lord, always allow me to keep my eyes on You, for You alone are Lord of my life. You alone are my salvation, in You alone I trust. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen. I love You, Jesus. Isaiah 41: 13 "For I am the Lord your God who grasp your right hand. It is I who say to you, " Fear not, I will help you." PTL

Thank You, Lord, for lessons learned and revelations You put before me. Help me to keep them all in mind as I go through my daily life so I can move forward with You. Isaiah 39: 8 "There will be peace and security in my lifetime." Thank You, Jesus.

"Forgive us our wrongs, as we forgive those who wrong us." Isaiah 38: 17 " You, oh Lord, have given me health and life, thus is my bitterness transformed into peace. You, Lord, have preserved my life from the pit of destruction when you cast behind your back all my sins." Thank You, Jesus

Lord, I know this journey I am on is right because I am following You. Keep me in Your ways, teach me Your truth. In Your name, Lord Jesus, I ask. Amen Psalm 37: 23-24 " By the Lord are the steps of a man made firm and He approves his way. Though he fall, he does not lie prostrate, for the hand of the Lord sustains him." Thank You, Jesus.

In memory of my brother Bobby who was born on September 3rd, 1974 and died September 11th, 1974 at 8 days old. To all the families out there who know this kind of grief, please know that God has His reasons for all things that happen. God is always in control and when we turn to Him in our sorrow and grief He comforts us in ways known only to our Spirit. We will experience God's peace. God is real. Psalm 34: 19 "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and those who are crushed in Spirit He saves." verse 2 "I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall ever be in my mouth" PTL

We know, for sure, that if we are looking to God in all things, and trusting Him, we are doing His will for our lives. Psalm 31:4 "You are my Rock and my fortress, for Your Names sake, You will lead and guide me." Praise You Jesus!

Sometimes through our trials it is hard to see God working in our lives. The challenges are all consuming and we find it hard to even pray. That is when God comforts us through His peaceful silence. God is here, He is always here. Isaiah 30: 15, 18, 19 "For this said the Lord God," by waiting and by calm you shall be saved. In quiet trust your strength lies." "Yet the Lord is waiting to show you favor and He rises to pity you-for the Lord is a God of justice, blessed are all who wait for Him" "He will be gracious to you when you cry out, as soon as He hears you, He will answer you." Psalm 30:3 ""Oh Lord, my God, I cried out to You and You healed me." PTL

Psalm 29-1-2, 11 "Give to the Lord, you people of God, give to the Lord glory and praise. Give to the Lord glory due His name, adore the Lord in holy attire" "May the Lord give strength to his people, may the Lord bless His people with peace." PTL

ISAIAH 25:9 "Behold our God to whom we looked to save us; Let us rejoice and be glad that He has saved us!"

My prayer for all, in Jesus name I pray, amen. PSALM 20:5-7 "May God grant you what is in your heart and full fill your every plan. May we shout for joy at our victory and raise the standards in the name of our God. The Lord grant all your requests. Now I know that the Lord has given victory to His annointed and that he has answered us from His holy heaven with strength of His victorious right hand." PTL

Lord, Jesus, I am so blessed in the love You have for me. Help me to show others Your love in all the things I say and do. In Your name I pray, dear Jesus. Psalm 16:6-7 "For me, the measuring lines have fallen on pleasant sites, fair to me indeed is my inheritance. I bless the Lord who counsels me, even in the night my heart exhorts me. I set the Lord ever before me, with Him at my right hand, I shall not be disturbed." Thank You, Jesus.

Sometimes God asks us to be patient in awaiting His answers to our prayers. He always answers our prayers with what would be the best for us, and in His perfect time. In trusting God, we show Him how much we love Him. PTL Psalm 40:2-4 " I have waited and waited for the Lord and He stooped toward me and heard my cry. He drew me out of the pit of destruction, out of the mud of the swamp. He set my feet upon a crag, He made firm my steps. And he put a new song into my mouth, a hymn to our God. Many shall look on in awe and trust in the Lord." Psalm 37:4-5, 7 " Take delight in the Lord amd He will grant your hearts request. Commit to the Lord your way, trust in Him and He will act. Leave it to the Lord and wait for Him."

Lord thank you for bringing others into my life that I can share Your love with. Your love, Lord, is the greatest give of all.

John 16:27 "The Father already loves you, because you have loved Me."

Lord, I thank You for my gifts of writing and music. Through these gifts You have comforted and healed me. Help me to use my gifts to reach out to others. In Your name I pray, dear Jesus." Isaiah 12:2 "God indeed is my Savior, I am confident and unafraid. My strength and courage is the Lord." PTL

ISAIAH 9:1-2 "The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; upon those who dwelt in the land of gloom a light has shown. You have brought them abundant joy and great rejoicing." PTL Thank You, Lord, for allowing us to share your love with the world. We are truly blessed when Your blessings flow through us onto others. TYJ

Can you feel how much God loves you? Can you see how much God loves you? God loves us so much, He gave a part of Himself, His only Son, to show us His love. He gave us His Holy Spirit, within, to allow us to feel His love. When you stop...when you take a moment to experience God's presence, you will know how much God loves you. PTL
