Prayer thought for Today
Thank you, Lord, for your reminder that during difficulties I most effectively bear witness. From the Company of Prayer
"Take care and be earnestly on your guard not to forget the things which your own eyes have seen, nor let them slip from your memory as long as you live, but teach them to your children, and your children's children. " -- Deuteronomy 4:9
My life over the last few weeks has been full of difficulty. Through the deep waters of struggle and uncertainty, what I have noticed, is how God is using me to touch others with His love and peace.
Over the years, even though I dislike hardship, what I have experienced is God's faithfulness, and closeness during the struggles of life. I have also been aware lately that this is when my witness of what Christ has done for me has been the most evident.
If you are experiencing a hardship in your life, I encourage you to keep your eyes focused on Christ, He will not leave you or forsake you. God is faithful and always with you. And through the craziness of the struggle God will use you when your focus is on Christ to bring hope to others who are trying to make sense through the "why's" of life.
Psalm 32:7 (ESV) You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with shouts of deliverance.
Jesus thank you for all that you have done on the cross and for the power of your resurrection. You have given to us the same power through Your Holy Spirit.
Many struggle in this world, often alone. Jesus be with those who are broken today, encourage them and give them hope. You are our hiding place and our hope in this world full of hardship.
Thank you for being our deliverer and redeemer. Keep our eyes focused on You and grant to us eyes to see and ears to hear what You are saying to us today. In Your name Jesus I pray. Amen.
"Have you heard the good news?
The risen Christ has come among us;
He is risen from the dead and has brought us new life.
Do not let your hearts be troubled, do not be afraid,
He casts out fear, clams our doubts, dispels our confusion,
He comes with infinite love and compassion,
he is the way the truth, and the life,
He opens a doorway to God’s resurrection world,
and calls us to new life in God’s everlasting love."

I'm glad you're back! I've been off from the computer the last couple of days. I was in need of some much needed rest. Your thoughts and prayers posted here couldn't have come at a better time for me to read, as I have been going through some turbulent waters as well.
I pray your prayer here today along with you. Thank you dear friend for your words of encouragement to me today. I'm so glad that you are back writing here again. Did everything go well with your papers?
Love & Hugs,
Alleluiabelle
I'm glad you're posting again...does this mean that you finished your tasks and papers?
Blessings,
JoAnn
For the questions concerning my papers I wished I could tell you I accomplished great task, my true story is far from that one!
My family had a crisis take place over the last ten days which put us all in a place of trauma and shock. I can not talk much about our story at the moment but hopefully when the time is right God will show me how to use it to encourage others.
Today is the first day I feel like I can breathe and see some light, thank goodness God taught me how to keep my focus on Him through the difficult stuff of life.
I do have a praise! I am speaking tonight at the seniors banquet and my devotional came together well. Please pray I don't fall on my head or something and my words will be clear touching hearts. Perhaps God will use me even when at the I feel very inadequate.
Thanks for asking...love to you all.
If you get a chance, please stop by my site. I have a surprise waiting there for you.
Hugs,
