I have looked away from You Lord
again
Lord let me look upon You
again
I have walked away from You
again
Lord let me walk with You
again
I have not read Your Word
again
Lord give me a hunger for Your Word
again
I have lost my faith in You again
again
Lord give me faith to trust You
again
I have disappointed You Lord
again
Lord strengthen me so I will not disappoint You
again
Free me Lord from this circle, grant me the victory found within You, in the power of Jesus Christ’s blood.
for always..

Amen

Romans 8:1-2
So there is now no condemnation awaiting those who belong to Christ Jesus. For the power of the life-giving Spirit-and this power is mine through Christ Jesus-has freed me from the vicious circle of sin and death.

I don’t want to be a burden, God. I certainly don’t want pity. But I can no longer do it all alone.
Help me, God. Teach me not to be afraid to rely upon others. Show me how to accept kindness, how to ask for help. Teach me, God, that my children still love me even though they’re grown.

I still have so much to offer, God. Help me find the ways to transmit my wisdom, to share my love, to realize my talents, to offer my reassurance and support.
Most of all, I place my trust in You, God; I place my body and soul in Your hands, and pray that You will be with me. Amen.

The Lord is my real Boss, and I shall not want. He gives me peace, when chaos is all around me. He gently reminds me to pray before I speak and to do all things without murmuring and complaining. He reminds me that He is my Source and not my job. He restores my sanity every day and guides my decisions that I may honor Him in everything I do.

Even though I face absurd amounts of e-mails, system crashes, unrealistic deadlines, budget cutbacks, gossiping coworkers, discriminating supervisors, and an aging body that doesn’t cooperate every morning, I will not stop-for He is with me! His presence, His peace and His power will see me through.

He raises me up, even when they fail to promote me. He claims me as His own, even when the company threatens to let me go. His faithfulness and love are better than any bonus check, and His retirement plan beats every 401K there is! When it’s all said and done, I’ll be working for Him a whole lot longer and for that, I bless His Name.

They say you never miss a thing until after it’s gone,
When things are going great in life you just go on and on.
You take each day for granted as if you have thousands more,
You really don’t appreciate what each new day is for.

Your family and your closest friends all feel the way you do,
They think that they will live forever just the same as you.
Well maybe not forever but for many years to come,
And there is always time enough to visit everyone.

And anyway you’re busy and they’re always busy too,
Your hours are all scheduled with so much you have to do.
But someday you will make the time to stop and retouch base,
As soon as everybody can reduce their hectic pace.

So life goes on and everybody runs and stays behind,
Because they have so much to do they almost lose their mind.
When we have time we’ll get together everybody raves,
But as for now you won’t believe how busy are my days.

But then one day it happens and your world comes to a halt,
And many times is unexpected or is not your fault.
An accident that’s fatal or a doctor’s sudden call,
Can make you feel as if your life has crashed into a wall.

A family member or a friend is in intensive care,
And nothing now is more important but that you are there.
A routine checkup at your doctor because you are sore,
But then the news, the test revealed, the problem is much more.

Why does it take catastrophe or facing life or death?
Or watching friends or loved ones as they take their final breath?
To interrupt the schedule of our busy hectic lives,
Why does it take an accident or when somebody dies?

Each day is very special and too soon the day is past,
For you or someone near to you it may just be the last.
Don’t ever take for granted that you have that many more,
And all the ones you love also have many more in store.

Today is all you really have if you still have your health,
And only those you love and care for are considered wealth.
Earthly goals and scheduling may seem like precedence,
But knowing you may only have today makes much more sense.

You may have tomorrow to enjoy and celebrate,
But maybe for someone you love it just may be too late.
So never think there’s years ahead to do just what you may,
You or someone close to you may interrupt the day.

Take no thought of tomorrow I recall the words I read,
You have enough to deal with on this day is what HE said.
Tomorrow is not promised to a single soul on earth,
So live and love here in the moment for all it is worth.

God wants you to know there is hope in your situation,
He is that hope, He is that love you seek.

He is right there with you as you draw each breath,
He is wanting you to come to Him as you would go
to your parent here in this life,
He is your parent.

He has given you life with all the power needed to face each day.
He has given you that power to speak those things that are not
as you thought they were.

He has given you the power to refuse all that this world would
give you to try to bring you down.

He has given you the power to keep your mind on Him
for that perfect peace.

He has given you the power to face each problem and speak them
be removed into the sea, that sea being all that is to be forgotten.

We are instructed to think only on the pure and the good in life,
We are instructed to do this very thing because that is

where healing comes from.

We are to be happy, to be joyful in his Holy Spirit, to
reflect on all that is positive, all that is of good report.

Our minds are a powerful tool.
We can determine our own destiny,
We can determine what we will accept and what we will not accept.
Our father did not leave us powerless, he left us with all the power
that raised Jesus from that grave.

Our Father loves us beyond any love that even our own earthly
parents could possibly ever give us now in this lifetime.
He loves us beyond our own understanding.

He wants you to know right now that He is waiting for you to reach
out your hand to Him and take that miracle that He is offering you.

Begin to speak out loud that the mountain of trouble
and complications in your life be removed into the sea.

Speak that you will not accept what mankind has issued to you.

Speak that you are a child of a Mighty King, and you will
receive all that is promised to you.

God is our Father and He is right there within you
along with all His heavenly Kingdom.

He is never too busy to know what you are thinking, saying,
and doing every second of your life.

He created you, He is wanting you to allow Him
to walk this earth again through you.
You are that temple made without hands,
You are the child for whom He gave His Son’s life.

He wants you to be healed, He wants you to hear His voice
in your first thoughts.

He wants to lead you.

He wants you to listen only to Him, not to man.

He also wants you to know that when the time comes that He will
take you home that it will be so glorious for you, no words can
possibly describe all the glory that you will know at that time.

To be free, to be lifted up by his power, to be in His presence
without the man made earthly struggles of this earth
that some allow to harm them, is to be free indeed.

He wants you to know, loving child that you are not alone,
no, not for one second,
He is there, He is taking your hand.

He wants you to let go of your fears.
He can not reside in a house where there is fear,
He wants you to let go and let Him do your very breathing today.

He wants to do your thinking, He wants to do your speaking.
You are weakened, I can tell, You are so afraid that your fears
have dulled His voice in your thoughts.

Stop now and take that deep breath and close your eyes and ask
to see His face, never doubting at all that He will not show you
the next step to take today, the next thought to think.

God is there,

God is with you, reach out, and put your hand into His.

God’s Love is the power and comfort you need right now,
so accept it..

He loves you so very much.

A man’s daughter had asked the local pastor to come and pray with her father. When the pastor arrived, he found the man lying in bed with his head propped up on two pillows and an empty chair beside his bed. The pastor assumed that the old fellow had been informed of his visit, “I guess you were expecting me,” he said.
“No, who are you?”
“I’m the new associate pastor at your local church,” the pastor replied.
“When I saw the empty chair, I figured you knew I was going to show up.”
“Oh yeah, the chair,” said the bedridden man. “Would you mind closing the door?”
Puzzled, the pastor shut the door.
“I’ve never told anyone this, not even my daughter,” said the man. “But all of my life I have never known how to pray. At church, I used to hear the pastor talk about prayer, but it always went right over my head..”
“I abandoned any attempt at prayer,” the old man continued, “until one day, about four years ago, my best friend said to me, ‘Joe, prayer is just a simple matter of having a conversation with Jesus. Here’s what
I suggest. Sit down on a chair, place an empty chair in front of you, and in faith, see Jesus on the chair. It’s not spooky because he promised, “I’ll be with you always.’ Then, just speak to him and listen in the same way you’re doing with me right now.” “So, I tried it and I’ve liked it so much that I do it a couple of hours every day. I’m careful, though. If my daughter saw me talking to an empty chair, she’d either have a nervous breakdown or send me off to the funny farm.” The pastor was deeply moved by the story and encouraged the old guy to continue on the journey. Then he prayed with him, and returned to the church. Two nights later the daughter called to tell the pastor that her daddy ad died that afternoon.
“Did he seem to die in peace?” he asked.
“Yes. When I left the house around two o’clock, he called me over to his bedside, told me one of his corny jokes, and kissed me on the cheek. When I got back from the store an hour later, I found him dead. But
there was something strange, in fact, beyond strange – - kinda weird. Apparently, just before Daddy died, he leaned over and rested his head on a chair beside the bed.”

So often we go through life, just trudging through one day after another
Feeling as if there is no meaning to life. One day is the same as the next.
Not really understanding “Why am I here?” or What difference can I make?”
The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood.
John 1:5

One starts to think “I have no idea where I have been or… where I am going!”
The man who walks in the dark does not know where he is going.
John 12:35
he does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded him.
1 John 2:11

There is hope for those who live in darkness and the drudgery of life
The people living in darkness have seen a great light;
on those living in the shadow of death
a light has dawned
Matthew 4:16

There is One Who can bring light and meaning into your life
When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said” I am the light of the world.
Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
John 8:12

Jesus gives the ability to have your darkness changed to light
I am sending you to them to open their eyes
and turn them from darkness to light,
and from the power of Satan to God,
so that they may receive forgiveness of sins
and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.
Acts 26:18

God, the Father, has made it possible for us to receive the saving
knowledge of His Son, Jesus Christ
For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,”
made His Light shine in our hearts
to give us the light of the knowledge
of the glory of God in the face of Christ.
2 Cor. 4:6

Always remember, God loves you!

Dear One,
You are my child and I love you. It’s just that simple. No matter what
you’ve done or what you haven’t done. I love you! You have an eternal spirit
living within you, and I know your spirit intimately, and I love you. You
are on this earth, living your life, making your decisions, trying to find
out what’s the best thing to do and how to do it – how to live, how to
survive – and it’s a struggle. I know this and I understand, for this is the
struggle of life. But all of this can be made easier if you will just
connect — to Me.

For though your life carries on and you age and then die, your SPIRIT never
ages. It never dies. The real you, the you that now dwells within the
confines of your body, will live forever.

This is why the things of the body, the material things of the world, are
not the things to strive for because one day you must leave them behind. The
things that truly matter are those of the spirit: LOVE, KINDNESS, MERCY,
UNDERSTANDING, GIVING. These are the things that make you rich-rich in
spirit. These are the things that make you strong-strong in spirit.

When the day comes that you shed the garment of your flesh, the strength of
your spirit will be all that counts. So do good. Show love. Give love. Love
your family. Love your neighbors. Love those you meet. Show mercy, kindness
and compassion. For by sharing these things- by showing love- you show ME to
others. For I, God AM Love, and I love you. I want to spend Eternity with
you.

When you come to the door at the end of the road, at the end of your life,
you will need the key to open the door, to enter into MY HOME where
everything is LOVE. But you don’t have to work for that key-just hold out
your hand right now and I will place it there. The Key is MY SON, JESUS, I
hold out this key to you now and say, “It can be yours, because I love you.”
It is as though I am offering you the key to My treasure vault, saying,
“This is yours, just because I love you.” With this key you can open the
vault and find it is full of treasure. So receive MY KEY- the KEY to living
with ME forever. Just say, yes, GOD, I want the Key to life. I want Your
SON, JESUS, the Key to your vault. I receive it. I accept it. Then this Key
will be yours forever.

I love you. You are my child, and I give you the Key to my inheritance, the
Key to my vault, the Key to Eternity! He is yours, if you will just receive
Him.
WITH LOVE EVERLASTING,

YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
