DEAR GOD: Guide My Paths O’ LORD

Psalm 85:13
Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.

My husband and I have been saying and feeling we need to relocate and move closer to our family. This has been an ongoing issue with us for the last three years, the result-we are still here!  Why? Well, we just haven’t had a window or door open for us to do so. We in turn take that as a sign, that it is not time to go. That the LORD isn’t directing our steps “to get moving” and we only will do so, when it is God’s time and God’s will. Anything less than that – we won’t accept. Only God’s time and will for us. Because anything less than that – would be a recipe for disaster in our eyes. We place our trust and surrender our lives to Him. Jesus is LORD – above all.

Did you ever think that while you’re stuck in traffic that God is protecting you from an accident up ahead? Or when you’re waiting patiently at a red light that seems interminably long, that the reason for that long wait is God is protecting you right there too?

All things that happen-or don’t happen – happen for a reason. There isn’t anything that transpires that doesn’t account for a reason.

We will wait for the LORD (Psalm 46:10) and realize it is only Him that can guide us from unforeseeable events that we are not aware of. The Holy Spirit is gentle and will guide us with His hands of mercy and His untrammeled eyesight. When we listen, obey, meditate and serve Him justly, all things will eventually become crystal clear. The clarity will be unmistakeable, and the door and widows will open and remain so. And then all things will fall into place, like a huge puzzle that was missing key pieces to complete the puzzle.

Trust in the LORD, and He will guide your path (Proverbs 3:4) He is always there at the helm – waiting- and guiding. We just need to focus and be aware and mesh with His Word, and then in His time, all things will happen for our benefit, in the righteousness of the LORD who makes all things possible.

” My LORD – Please create in me a pure heart and guide me through all the passages and days of my life, guide me in the direction in which I should go, and hold me up while giving me Your wisdom to grasp the meaning of my days as I serve You, in Jesus’ name, Amen.”

 

DEAR GOD: Shine Your Light~

Isaiah 60:1 KJV- Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.

 

LORD, shine Your light from high above in the world that seems to be under darkness as of late. Help those in anguish, and those in ill health, help those trapped in situations that seem hopeless, help those who are experiencing loss of a loved one, or those who are trapped in a bad marriage, or those who are tempted to ignore God’s Word and commandments, help those who haven’t yet come to You, or those who have turned their backs on You, help these individuals, help those who are addicted by something in their lives that are keeping them from experiencing life through You and Your Word, help those who go against Your Word, and help the World that is in such disarray my LORD, only YOU can change things with a wave of Your hand, or by Your Word, all those reading this right now, may their prayers be heard, and if it is Your will, may it be done, in Jesus’ precious name, Amen.”

I felt it in my heart, God laid it upon me to write that prayer, someone out there is in need of prayers this very moment, so turn to the One who can help You, never give up, or lose faith, cause God’s timing and Will is perfect. Hang in there, hold on, and know that He hears You, and is there with You.

God is like oxygen. You can’t see it, but we NEED IT TO BREATHE. So, breathe!  Take in the LORD, follow Him and His Word, and know that He will never leave or forsake You.

Accept Him as LORD and Savior. Jesus said, “no one goes to the Father, but through Me”(John 14:6) — He also says, “Whatever you ask in my name to the Father, it shall be done” (John 14:13) Those two verses meditate upon them, realize the depth of what that means, and accept Him as LORD.

  • Jesus is LORD, and LORD above all.
  • Praise His name, Amen!

“Father, may I do all I can to please You, may I always walk in obedience to You, may I turn from all temptations, and may I share You Word and be Your servant all the days of my life, and I pray for all those reading this message, I pray for all issues to be resolved in their lives, and that they are obedient to You and Your Son, in Jesus’ name, Amen.”

 

John 8:12 KJV- Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

 

Ephesians 5:8- KJV For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:

 

John 3:16 KJV -For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

DEAR GOD: Dreary Outside – Joyful Inside~

God is Faithful Forever - Chino Valley Bible Church

I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.

Genesis 9:13

 

 

Yikes!  It seems it hasn’t stopped raining for months!  I almost expect Noah’s Ark to sail by at this point in time.

Since spring began, the Northeast has been hit hard with rain. Yes, we need rain to replenish and irrigate, and fill our reservoirs, etc. However, there is a limit before “flooding” begins to unravel creating havoc, and dangerous situations for those in the vicinity in which the rain has fallen! And on the news, this is the case right now. So many people have encountered dangerous waters rising. Flooding is rampant, and there is still rain in the forecast.

Even though it’s dreary outside, I always have a reason to be cheery inside. Because that’s where my spirit and the Spirit of Christ live side by side!

You know the flooding and havoc is akin to the enemy.  He “floods” God’s children with lies and misery.  That’s his job, and he excels at it. Making people unsure, grappling at their insecurities, tampering with their very lives. He tries to create havoc until it overflows!

Isaiah 59:19 —So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.

This is what we have to be diligent about, watching and sensing the enemy’s next move.  He seeks to destroy us all!

1 Peter 5:8—Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil walketh about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

We are under the protection of the Highest Royal God, and the enemy has nothing on us!  When we follow God, and know Christ gave us the authority in His name to send that old serpent packing, slithering away like the rotten snake he is!

Luke 10:19-–Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

As I gaze outside it is getting extremely dark. An ominous cloud is hanging over my home, set to unleash another round of pelting rain. But all I see is the cloud with the silver lining. Christ!  And I know that at the end of this storm…a beautiful rainbow is set to come out full force.

With Christ giving me the authority in His name over the enemy, and the silver lining being my LORD and Savior, do you get why I’m cheerful inside?

How do you handle the dark days of your life?

Do you handle it like a child of Royalty?

You better!

 

 

“Father thank You for giving me the authority in Your name to handle the enemy, and for recognizing that with You, the sun and rainbow are never far from your children, in Jesus’ name, Amen.”
