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

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."

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.

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.

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."

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
