Problems that seem bigger than my prayers

Zion National Park

When my problems are bigger than my prayers I go to this verse:

Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save, nor His ear too dull to hear. Isaiah 59:1

Holding onto this verse when I pray for family and friends really adds zest to my prayers, and bounce to my worship.

Rejoice in the Lord!

Sunrise penetrating the clouds

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Philippians 4:4

Each morning and through out the day it is good for me to rejoice in the Lord. I need it to put life in my living. Otherwise I am overcome by the trials and tribulations of this world.

  1. Rejoice with gratitude for God’s grace in Jesus.
  2. Rejoice that God is good and His love endures forever.
  3. Rejoice that He will never leave me nor forsake me.
  4. Rejoice that I am His child by faith and not by anything I do or fail to do.
  5. Rejoice that God has good plans for me.
  6. Rejoice that He has sent the Holy Spirit to guide me.

So… REJOICE and give thanks.

Feelings or Faith

Dead snag praising God

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
Let Him lead through all of your days.
Though your feelings will shout,
As they turn trust into doubt.
Seek refuge in a garment of praise.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; Proverbs 3:5
