May God bless you with discomfort
at easy answers, half-truths, and superficial relationships
so that you may live deep within your heart.

at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people,
so that you may work for justice, freedom and peace.
May God bless you with tears
to shed for those who suffer pain, rejection, hunger and war,
so that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and
to turn their pain into joy.
And may God bless you with enough fooli…

May we be cleansed of all our destructive thoughts. May judgement of others, such as bigotry, racism, and intolerance be taken from us, wash us clean, O Lord. Let our minds be filled…

Dear Heavenly Father, Bless me with faith that can move mountains. May I not be tempted to forget Your power. May I not be tempted to forget Your love. May my mind not stray to the might of the destroyer but remember instead the might of the Lord. Show me Father. I know You will have the last word, the final say. And I won’t worry. You will redeem me. I will resurrect. You will bring forth new life from all apparent death. You create from what the darkness has destroyed, for Your power is infini…

The bond that unites a man with his fellowman is no less real and close than that which unites him to God: one with them. Grace renews not only our relationship with our fellow human beings, too. We not only learn to say “my Father,” but also “our Father.” It would be unnatural for the children of a family to always meet their father separately, never expressing their desires or their love jointly.
Believers are not only members of one family, but of one body. Just as each member of the body de…

I pray for all of God’s people. I pray that His people, who are called by His name, will humble themselves and pray. Seek His face and turn from their wicked ways-then He will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal our land. I pray for the revival of God’s people in the nation, that they will be like Jesus to the people in their communities, being used of God to lead others ever one step closer to Him. I ask God’s forgiveness for the nation’s sins of pride, prejudice, insensitivity to the…

Psalm 119:1-24
You’re blessed when you stay on course, walking steadily on the road revealed by God. You’re blessed when you follow his directions, doing your best to find him. That’s right-you don’t go off on your own; you walk straight along the road he set. You, God, prescribed the right way to live; now you expect us to live it. Oh, that my steps might be steady, keeping to the course you set; Then I’d never have any regrets in comparing my life with your counsel. I thank you for speaking s…

Psalm 17:1-15 1-2 Listen while I build my case, God,
the most honest prayer You’ll ever hear.
Show the world I’m innocent-
in Your heart You know I am.
3 Go ahead, examine me from inside out,
surprise me in the middle of the night-
You’ll find I’m just what I say I am.
My words don’t run loose.
4-5 I’m not trying to get my way
in the world’s way.
I’m trying to get your way,
Your Word’s way.
I’m staying on Your trail;
I’m putting one foot
in front of the other.
I’m not giving up.…

Psalm 16:1-11
1-2 Keep me safe, O God,
I’ve run for dear life to You.
I say to GOD, “Be my Lord!”
Without You, nothing makes sense.
3 And these God-chosen lives all around-
what splendid friends they make!
4 Don’t just go shopping for a god.
Gods are not for sale.
I swear I’ll never treat god-names
like brand-names.
5-6 My choice is You, GOD, first and only.
And now I find I’m Your choice!
You set me up with a house and yard.
And then You made me Your heir!

Reading through the bible, you pick up on the many names of the Lord. Proverbs 18:10 says “The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.” If we call on the Lord in faith, with love, understanding, and great reverence, our faith will increase. When you’re sick, call on your Healer. When you’re having financial problems, call on your Provider.
My God is a Healer-Psalm 103:3
Redeemer-Isaiah 59:20
Deliverer-Psalm 70:5
My Strength-Psalm 43:2
Shelter-Joel 3:16

”My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love,
so that they may have the full riches of
complete understanding, in order that they
may know the mystery of God,
namely, Christ, in whom
are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.”
Colossians 2:2-3 NIV

Psalm 23:1-6
God, my shepherd!
I don’t need a thing.
You have bedded me down in lush meadows,
You find me quiet pools to drink from.
True to Your word,
You let me catch my breath
and send me in the right direction.
Even when the way goes through
Death Valley,
I’m not afraid
when You walk at my side.
Your trusty shepherd’s crook
makes me feel secure.
You serve me a six course dinner
right in front of my enemies.
You revive my drooping head;
my cup brims with blessing.
Your beauty and love cha…

Noah was a man that stood for righteousness in an unrighteous generation. He lived in a time of incredible darkness in the world, yet he chose to walk in the light. Surely he must have felt alone, but he was never forsaken. Noah’s life was blessed by God’s grace. The very same grace that God extended to Noah, He extends to us. Can we do any less than to live for Him?
Noah was given an impossible task. He was asked to collect two of every kind of animal on the planet and put them in the ark. Can…

Why are we here? What did God create us to do? If you’ve ever found yourself wondering that, please read on. This touched me today.
Matthew 10:5-42 The Message
Jesus sent his twelve harvest hands out with this charge. “Don’t begin by traveling to some far off place to convert unbelievers. And don’t try to be dramatic by tackling some public enemy. Go to the lost, confused people right here in the neighborhood. Tell them that the kingdom is here. Bring health to the sick. Raise the dead. Touch…

I said last week that it was in God’s hands, and His will. I truly do feel like we are living in the end times, and this presidency may be a punishment from God because we as a country are so morally corrupt, just like in the times of Noah. I will leave with this passage of scripture, and please take my words in love everyone. That’s how I’m sending them. I honestly don’t know how to feel right now. I’m just relying on God to take away my fears. There are too many unknowns and unanswered questio…

A daughter needs a mom who believes it is okay to see things differently.

That's how I feel! Why is it when one tooth hurts, it makes your entire body hurt? My husband called the dentist yesterday for me, and they said to go to the oral surgeon. I went to the oral surgeon, he gave me some penicillin and vicodin and told me to go to the dentist. I saw the dentist this morning, and am currently waiting on a call back from the oral surgeon with an appointment. At least when I left the dentist office this morning I was numb, and that lasted for 6 glorious hours. Now I can…

We have 3 dogs. Two Chihuahua's and a boxer. Male, Female, and Male. The female is currently in heat, so I'm going crazy!! It's nice that this happens only twice a year, because I'd have to go on vacation. We're trying to breed her, and it didn't work last time. I think my male was too young. If it works out this time we'll have New Year's puppies!
